Wedding Party
Kate Anchondo
Maid of Honor
Karen's baby sister, greatest friend, and favorite person. She is the smartest person we know and is always making us proud with her academic and professional achievements. She will make the best auntie someday.
Daniel Sandoval
Best Man
Daniel and Abel have been best friends since the 5th grade. Ironically, Karen has known Daniel longer than she has known Abel! Daniel has been an incredible friend to the both of us and we could not be more grateful for his friendship. He never fails to make us laugh with his dance moves. Check him out on the dance floor! He won't disappoint.
Adriana Riesberg
Madrina
Abel's cousin and Karen's best friend; our go to! The person who goes above and beyond for her loved ones, without hesitation. We could not have chosen a more exemplary wife, mother, and role model as our Madrina.
Garrett Riesberg
Padrino
Abel's cousin who never fails to show up for the bride and groom. It's non-stop laughter when we are with him and, lets face it, without him, everything in our life would fall apart (he's the fixer-upper of the group). His love and dedication to his family is inspirational, and one of the main reasons we chose him as our Padrino.
Berenice Fuller
Bridesmaid
Karen and Berenice met in 2007 and have been best friends ever since. We love Berenice for her huge heart, and sense of humor. We could not imagine our big day without her and her wheezing laugh.
Joaquin Moreno
Groomsman
Abel's cousin, who has grown up with Abel since they were in diapers! Through all the ups and downs, we have beautiful and fun memories with Jack. We couldn't imagine getting married without this guy by our side.
Berti Murillo
Bridesmaid
Berti and Karen met in 2007. As the new girls in school, they quickly became close friends. Berti has played a huge support role in our relationship. Even when times were tough, she expressed her love and belief in our relationship. We appreciate you for your constant love and support.
Xavier Licudine
Groomsman
This guy is like an older brother to Abel. Growing up, Xay was always a friend Abel could count on. He has become an amazing father and husband, and despite his move to a different state, our friendship with Xay has never been stronger. We feel blessed to have you by our side on our wedding day!
Selina Mora
Bridesmaid
Karen and Selina met in 2007 and became more than best friends; they became each other's family. If you catch us cracking up at the wedding, it's because of this girl! It's a comedy show with her around. We love you for your spontaneous personality!
Nicolas Moreno
Groomsman
Abel's cousin who throughout the years has always remained close to us. We have had the privilege of watching him grow up into a mature, wise, and dedicated young man. As a new member of the U.S. Coast Guard, we are hoping he will still be by our side on our big day. Regardless, however, we could not be more proud of the man he has become. We love you Nicolas!
Maudie Sardina
Bridesmaid
Maudie has been one of Karen and Abel's closest friends, and support system. We could not imagine our wedding day without the person who has always believed in our relationship. Thank you for being an amazing and dependable friend to the both of us!
Aaron Taylor
Groomsman
Abel has remained close to Aaron since they were kids. Not only have they grown up together, but Aaron has become a father, husband, and friend that we admire. He is a friend that is so close our hearts. We are so lucky to have him our life. His sense of humor and sarcasm drives Karen (or kuuren, as Aaron likes to call her) crazy sometimes but its another reason why we love this guy!
Maria Fernanda Araiza
Bridesmaid
Karen's talented singer and artistic cousin! Besides her ability to make beautiful music and art, she is an overall beautiful human being. She approved of Abel the moment she met him and has loved and supported us throughout our relationship. One day she will be famous and you get to say you saw her at our wedding!
Christian Camarena
Groomsman
Christian has been more than just a good friend of Abel's, he's been like an older brother. He was there for Abel from teaching him how to drive to buying his first home. We love him despite his Call of Duty skills.
