Daniela Longo
Bridesmaid
Daniela is my cousin! She was the first baby in my family I was taking care of..I remembered how I loved to play with her as my favorite doll, and now she is an adult, and if I need any fashion advice, she is the best!! So creative, relax and balanced!! I love you Dani..!!
Josh Bartl
Groomsman
I have been friends with Josh since high school. We went to different schools but had mutual friends. We shared many adventures together. Josh may have been the reason we were politely asked to leave a State Park in Wisconsin when we were about 18, but that is up for debate even to this day.

Jeff Wielgos
Groomsman
Jeff and I have been friends since grade school. We ran track together at Reavis but the similarities did not end there. We went to colleges that were less than an hour apart so we got to visit each other on the weekends. We played a lot of golf together in our younger days and had numerous encounters with the crazed geese roaming around the course at Marquette Park.
Cindy Pulido
Bridesmaid
I met Cindy in the last 5 years.. First! She was my friend and now, literally she is my Sister!! If I need other perspective in my life for any advice, she is the best!! All ups and downs Cindy has been always with me.. I love you!!
Dave Martin
Groomsman
Dave and I grew up across the street from one another. We went to different schools but shared many other hobbies. We swam in each other’s pools in the summer and had snowball fights in the winter. Dave is the type of guy who will give you the shirt off his back if you need it.
Karen Ng
Bridesmaid
Karen is from Venezuela too! She is my “Chinita” I miss her so much when she moved to Cleveland but although the distance, she is always closer to me.. Karen is the person who keeps everyone together.., We have lived SO many adventures together, I could not think of another person by my side in my especial day..
Tony Temko
Groomsman
Tony and i have known each other since high school. He was always more of an outdoorsman and a handyman than I, but he never hesitated to help a friend with his expertise. We shared many adventures over the years.
Carolina Gonzalez

We met each other when I moved to Chicago, and she became my close friend.. We lived together as roommates for pet sitter and it was really nice!! I have shared so many grateful moments with her that obviously I need her by my side to enjoy this happiness with me
Brad Miranda
Groomsman
Brad and I have known each other since grade school. He would drive down to U of I in Champaign with the guys and we would spend the weekend hitting the bars and frat parties that were way too crowded, but we didn’t care. Whenever I am in need of a laugh I know Brad is more than happy to deliver.
