Jasmine & Vincent
Wedding Party
Gabriel Saenz
Best Man
The man of some of his stories, the myth of all of his stories, and the legend of none of his stories. This guy here has been the best and worst pain in my neck, ( I'll you decide if it's for good or bad reasons). Gabe and I met FEB 9, 2009 heading to Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego. He has been there for me ever since we stepped foot on the yellow footprints. I can sincerely say that Gabe is my Right-hand man for a numerous amount of good reasons. Eleven years ago you raised your right hand with me during a very important time in my life and now you stand beside me during the most important chapter of my life. You didn't leave me behind then and you're not leaving me behind now.Thank you, Gabe, because you bestowed the greatest honor of brotherhood by being my best man. Love ya bro!
Angelica Stean
Maid of Honor
I chose my sister to be my maid of honor because there is no one else I could picture standing by my side on my special day. She is more than just my sister, she is my forever best friend. Regardless of what we go through in life I know that she will never fail to be there for me. She’s been my rock throughout my life, and I am so thankful for her. Whether it was sharing bedrooms when we were younger, her going to my parent-teacher conferences, and to us getting the chance to plan our weddings so close together! I thank God for placing her in my life, because I could not picture going through life without her. He knew I needed her far more than she could ever need me! Thank you for being apart of our special day! I love you so much! ❤️
Mark Rivera
Groomsman
Well well well Oh Markie Mark. 2009 I met this guy in Okinawa, Japan at 3rd Recon. We have been through thick and then. From Afghanistan 2011 to 2013 going on Recruiting together. Let's just say we embraced the suck together during the tours we had together. I can remember everything as if it was yesterday either drinking in the barracks together or slaying Marines when it came to us PT'ing them. We were the type of Marines that should never be together alone because if we were something bad was definitely going to happen to someone lol. Thank you for all the awesome memories we had and thank you for standing next to me in this next chapter in my life (or tour I'm about to go through haha). Love Ya Bro!
Marilyn Gries
Bridesmaid
Marilyn and I go wayyyyyyyyy back! Literally! Her dad has a home video of her walking across the street to attend my first birthday party! We've been best friends my whole life, and I couldn't imagine not having her there on my special day. She’s a loving, caring, and thoughtful person. Someone who is always willing to tell me how it is. She’s been there through some of my best times to the worst! I’m thankful for a friend like her, and I can’t wait to make more memories within our friendship! Love you boo! ❤️
Travis Pruitt
Groomsman
Travis Pruitt AKA T-Pru. Man, where do I even start with you bro? We have been in this gun club for over 10 years and man have you always been my side. From 2009 in Okinawa, Japan to 2011 Bangin in Sangin. No matter where we are stationed we still manage to always stay in touch and always keep each other on our toes. Thank you for sacrificing your Pre-Deployment leave to stand by my side on this very important day of mine. Don't forget that bet we made. 😉 Love Ya bro!
Janette Chavez
Bridesmaid
Janette and I met a couple years after I graduated high school. Monica, Janette, and Marilyn (all bridesmaids) were friends before I was introduced to the group. Janette came into my life and I instantly clicked with her! She’s the one that I can always rely on to tell me the honest truth! In some ways we’re one in the same person! She’s also such a dope momma, and a boy mom at that! We’ve made countless of memories throughout the years that could never be replaced. From singing Selena songs at the top of our lungs in your garage until your neighbors called the cops on us.... to hopefully singing Selena on my wedding day (minus the cop part, hopefully lol). I’m so thankful and blessed for a friend like her, and I’m more than excited to have her there on our special day! Love you boo! ❤️
Ryan Menzies
Groomsman
Mr. Macklemore Jr and I met in 2012 at the Recruiting Sub Station in Pearland. We have been through so much in our years of knowing each other. From Rodeo Nights, Wild West, to waking up late for our Saturday pool functions. Let's just say this man right here is the man to have when you need a bodyguard or when there is going to be a dance competition (the only white guy I know that can dance). Thank you for always being a helping hand and thank you for standing by my side on this very important chapter in my life. Love Ya Bro!
Monica Galvan
Bridesmaid
Monica and I also met at the same time I was introduced to the trio after graduating highschool. My first job was at GameStop and I remember working with Monica like it was yesterday! I immediately knew we would be good friends because she was always so bubbly. Which is quite the opposite of how I am! She’s my sweet friend who is always there when I need her! She’s the worrier of the group, the most patient, and also an incredibly great mommy! We’ve all grown closer as the years pass and I’m so blessed to have her there on our special day. Love you boo! ❤️
Cody Schurwon
Groomsman
2013 Recruiting Sub Station Pearland is where I first met Schurwon AKA "The Sherminator" or "Big Sherm". This guy here has always had my back on the street. When I left Houston to come back to California I knew I lost an awesome coworker, but that didn't happen. Now look we're in 2020 and will still stay in touch. Who knows if everything goes as planned i'll be working for you again when I come back to Houston. Thank you for stepping up to this calling and standing by my side on this very important chapter of my life. Love Ya Bro!
Alma Reyna
Bridesmaid
My sweet Alma! I met her by accident and kept her on purpose! Definitely glad that I did! We went to high school together but our relationship didn’t start until after we graduated. Most definitely a beautiful person inside and out! She’s patient, sweet, and an honest friend! We even went through the college life together! She’s one person I could always rely on regardless of the situation. I’m so thankful for our friendship and the memories! Can’t wait to see what other memories we have yet to make! Love you boo! ❤️
Kenny Salas
Groomsman
In 2017, I met this big, soft bear named Kenny. He has been here for me since day one when I arrived at 11th Marines. I was told by numerous Marines that I would not get along with this guy. Well of course once we sized each other up, we talked about where we're from. Well, what do you know? We're both from Houston. We clicked from there on out. This man here not only helped me in my career, but also took me to numerous Astros games. Thank you for rogering up on this very important chapter in my life. Love Ya bro!
Lupe Espinoza
Bridesmaid
Lupe and I go back to the good ol’ highschool days! We had a rough start, but our friendship was inevitable. I was just too awesome she couldn’t resist! Jk! Lupe has always been consistently there for me since I met her. She’s someone I can always depend on for advice or if I am in need of a girls night out! Might I add, she loves crawfish just as much as I do #Winning! Such a beautiful friend who never fails to listens to me when I need it, and an incredible momma! So thankful for this friendship of ours, and I can’t wait to have you by my side to celebrate our special wedding day! Love you boo! ❤️
Jacob Fletcher
The Barber
2012 walking into Houston MEPS is where I met Jacob. From that point on this guy helped me with Recruiting. Now, this guy is hands down the best barber in the California area. No matter what day or time it is, he is always willing to help everyone look fresh. Its been eight years of awesome memories and many more to come. Thanks, brother for all the good times in the street and thank you for always helping me look my best on this important chapter in my life because God knows I sure in the hell need it. Love Ya Bro!
