Wedding Party
Vivian Tamayo
Flower Girl
Introducing our delightful flower girl, Vivian. At just 9 years old, she is the spirited daughter of the groom. Vivian is a bright spark of energy and joy, and her love for her dad is truly remarkable. She's even taken on the role of a little matchmaker, encouraging Erik and Karina to embark on their beautiful journey together, saying they look so happy because they are kind, handsome, and beautiful! Vivian has a big heart for animals and loves spending time in Valsequillo with her wonderful grandparents, Abue Antu and Abue Susa, and of course, Tortuga. She can't get enough of their adventures, especially those magical trips to Africam Safari! Together, Vivian and Erik create unforgettable memories as they travel, explore, and embrace every playful adventure life presents. We are so excited to have this vibrant little lady sprinkle her joy on our special day! Karina, Vivian and Valentina share another true love: Jimmy, aka James, our beloved Maltese. He goes everywhere with us and even fits into Karina’s purse, allowing her to sneak him into Publix!
