Karla & Aramiz
Wedding Party
Neelina Chand
Maid of Honor
We are college besties! We became friends our third year of college and we became inseparable. I had never met someone so similar to me and we understand each other so well. When graduating college I left with a degree and a friend for life. She's now in Colorado and has recently became a Pharmacist! I miss her so much everyday but I'm extremely proud of all her accomplishments.
Daniel Gonzalez
Best Man
Growing up an only child I never found myself wishing I had a brother because for as long as I can remember my cousin Danny has been that big brother figure for me. He is selfless, caring, and one of the funniest people I know. I still remember wrestling in our old living room when I was little and going to Blockbuster for our endless movie marathons. He has always been there for me throughout the lowest of lows and highest of highs and there is nobody else I'd rather have as my best man than him.
Jamie Lerma
Bridesmaid
Jamie and I have been friends since freshman year of high school. She's my friend who knows the majority of my family members and has been a part of my family for so long. She has so many embarrassing videos and pictures of us during high school that she likes to show me. Now she has little AJ and he's the calmest and cutest baby boy ever! I am extremely grateful that she agreed to be my bridesmaid because she has proved that she will be here for me even when times get rough. I hope our friendship continues to blossom and I'm thankful she'll be by my side on my special day.
Alberto Luna
Groomsman
My future brother-in-law! I'll never forget when we were first introduced and he was very quiet and observant. I was definitely feeling the pressure but I know his intentions were pure and it was due to how much he really cares for his sister. Now, we hang out without her, can talk for days, and laugh about anything and everything. I have not only gained a future-brother-in-law, but a very close friend who I can trust and confide in. He was the first person I showed the ring!
Leslie Lemus
Bridesmaid
The friend I've known the longest. I met Leslie in kindergarten and have grown up with her. I remember how her mom used to pick me up from middle school all the time and we would hang out until my mom picked me up. Then Leslie was the first one to get a car and a license and would drive us everywhere during high school. We've gone through so much together and we've seen each other through all our stages in life. So grateful she's a part of one of the most important days of my life.
Michael Powell
Groomsman
I've known Michael for as long as I can remember. There are friends who you consider family and he is nothing short of that. Our moms used to work for the same company when we were little, before we were even in kindergarten! And since then I feel we have been best friends. Michael is someone who I can trust with anything and one of the most dependable people I know. To this day, there is nothing that we cannot talk about because we share so many of the same interests. Whether it be aspirations in life, short/long-term goals, music, sports, video games, and that is only half the list. I'm honored to call him one of my groomsmen.
Jocelyn Rodriguez
Bridesmaid
My cousin! Jochy (as I've always called her) is my cousin who I grew up with. We used to play with our barbies every time we visited each other and we would spread everything out to where you couldn't even walk. As we got older, we would record music videos with our made up choreography and we would always have so much fun together. Now that we are older a lot has changed but never the love I have for her. It's an honor to have her walking with me down the aisle, she's been there every step of the way.
Jesus Magallanes
Groomsman
We met in kindergarten! When you think back to some of your earliest childhood memories, they are some of the happiest times of your life. Largely in part because of the friendships you built. And I honestly cannot remember my childhood being as fun as it was without Jesus being a huge part of it. Not only was he was one of my first ever friends, he showed me what a best friend is and should be. I still remember all the times I spent the night at his house growing up, as well as getting separated in class because we talked so much. He is definitely my brother from another mother and I could not be more honored to have him be one of my groomsmen.
Tishauna Valentine
Bridesmaid
I've known Tishauna since middle school, but we did not get along. We were both in marching band and we didn't click at all. However when we got to high school somehow we ended up being great friends. I remember telling her every Friday to go to the football games with me and she would always tell me no because she would go to church. Now she has the cutest little boy, Nehemiah and he has one of the best moms he could ask for. I'm so glad that after all these years she still someone I can count on and makes me feel appreciated.
Mark Axe
Groomsman
My little cousin! Only you are much more than just my little cousin, you have always been like a little brother to me. I still remember giving you an unplugged controller to let you pretend you were playing Call of Duty with me. Some of my best memories are our countless sleepovers and dunk contests in your living room with miniature basketball rims. I've seen you grow up so much, but you've also seen me grow up so much and I couldn't be happier to share all of those experiences with you. You're one of the funniest and sincere people I know and I will always be there for you and couldn't be more honored to have you be one of my groomsmen.
