Natasha A & Haziel A
Wedding Party
Aliyah Dawson
Maid of Honor
Aliyah and I have know each other for quite some time after meeting through a mutual friend but we didn't become really close until college. Since that day, we have had each other's back like sisters. We are family in each other's eyes and I know that I can go to her about anything! She has supported me through the best and the worst times. But most importantly, she has been a stronghold support of Hazi and I's relationship. I know that we will be sisters for life and I am so ecstatic that I get to have her standing next to me on my wedding day as one of my Maids of Honor.
George Ortega
Best Man
George is my best friend. We met in high school, and we never really thought that the two of us would become friends. However, when we were casted in our high school play of "Beauty & The Beast: The Untold Tale", we found out we had so much in common! We shared favorite movies, shows, games, and even memes. He is a loyal friend with a heart of gold and I had to ask him to be my Best Man because to me, he is more than just my friend, he is my brother.
Kaley Martin
Maid of Honor
Kaley and I have been friends since the "ancient times"! I can't fully explain how much Kaley has impacted my life. However, Kaley and her family have taken my in as one of their own. She has been the "little angel" on my shoulder guiding me through life and I don't know where I would be without her. We have shared so many laughs, tears, and Publix sandwiches over time that I couldn't imagine getting married without her. And having her as one of Maids of Honor will complete the picture I've always had in my head for my wedding day.
Samuel Acosta
Groomsman
Sam was one of my first best friends when we first moved to Florida and became like a brother to me. Our moms are close friends and we spent a lot of time together after school and at church. We liked the same shows, movies, football team, games, and we invented our own game "James Bond" with his brother Josh. Now we are adults and although we don't hang out as much as we used to we are still very good friends. And I am honored that he agreed to be one of my groomsmen.
Eden Bacin
Bridesmaid
Eden and I became super close in college. She and I would spend hours studying together and helping each other through some of our toughest classes. She has been a support to me through college and I say all the time how I don't know if I would have fully made it through college without her. To this day, Eden and I share our love of food and meet up for dinner or brunch, giving me a chance to bring out my inner foodie. I am happy she will be able to support me through this next journey standing by my side.
Brock Fultz
Groomsman
Brock is another of my closest friends, and by far one of the WILDEST people in the friend group. Every time we hang out he always tells us some of the craziest stories and we end up making some of our own! One of my personal favorite stories was when we went on our senior trip and we all snuck out to the beach to have a heart to heart conversation with our whole senior class. We also met in high school, however, it was our US History class where we really bonded. To this day we have been really close friends.
Michelle Corcoran
Bridesmaid
Michelle and I have been friends for quite sometime. We became friends after a mutual friend introduced her to me at a party. One dance later the “vibe check” was passed and the rest is history. Our friendship is like a true “partners in crime” or “ride or die” kind of friendship. She is good friend and I am excited to have her in wedding party for my big day.
Michael Gonzalez
Groomsman
Michael Gonzalez is my younger cousin and we grew up rather close. Our bond is strong and we always look forward to hanging out whenever we can. He is one of the funniest people in my family and I always enjoy playing Super Smash Bros. when he comes over to the house. We have had our fights, like which football team was better or whether Batman could beat Superman in a fight (Which he totally could!). In the end, we are cousins, and I'm honored to have him as a groomsmen.
Illiana Goulbourne
Bridesmaid
Illiana is the only other girl in my line of first cousins on my mothers side. During our childhood we would spend a lot of time together during the summers and holidays at my grandmother's house. As adults we both went different directions but this wedding has been a great opportunity for us to reconnect. We have become closer and I am really happy she will be sharing my wedding day with me as one of my bridesmaids.
Jon'Al Goulbourne
Groomsman
Cousin to Natasha, we met while sharing my first EVER Korean meal! It was really special to be able to meet and get to know more of Natasha's family. I was at bliss to hear all the stories of Natasha through the eyes of her older cousin. And to learn more about the woman I am going to marry. I cannot wait to bond more with Jon'Al as we get closer to the wedding day. I am greatly appreciative that he agreed to be a groomsmen to support Natasha and I on our special day.
Bria Johnson
Bridesmaid
Bria and I met while working together at our first phlebotomy job at Biolife Plasma Services. Needless to say, Bria and I got really close super fast as we bonded over our equal distain for working there. We were known as the "twins" for our similar sense of style and humor. While we were there we bonded over our similar career goals, music, food, love of tattoos/ piercings, and talking about our "mans". Bria is just "that girl"! I love how close we've gotten and I am happy to have her as one of bridesmaids.
Mark Hellender
Groomsman
Mark was one of my first friends I made when I attended One School of The Arts and we were in the same graduating class. We met on a school trip to tour Full Sail University and we bonded over a conversation about the show "Avatar: The Last Airbender." We have been friends ever since. Mark has become one of my closest friends and we share the same taste in movies, music, video games, anime, and our sense of humor. I knew that whenever I got married he had to be one of my groomsmen, he is a great friend with a heart of gold.
Yazmin Olivera
Bridesmaid
Yazi and I became SUPER close really fast! I took her under my "wing" and looked at her like she was my little sister long before Hazi purposed. I was happy to get the "sister stamp of approval" and I happy that have gotten to get know such an exceptional young lady. She has stolen my heart and I am so excited to be officially her sister. Having Yazmin as my bridesmaid has made me really excited and I can't wait to share this new chapter of my life with her.
Adrian Olivera
Groomsman
Adrian is one of my many cousins on my father's side, and we grew up together back in Massachusetts. We shared many common interests like building LEGO cars and racing them down hallways, we played a lot of games like Halo, Super Smash Bros., Mario Kart, and Star Wars: Battlefront. We were and still are really close so I am happy to have him as one of my groomsmen.
Erica Velazquez
Bridesmaid
Erica and I met when she started her current relationship with one of Hazi's best friends, Mark. We grew pretty close in a short time. We bonded over our passions at work and she helped me greatly during all the stresses of my graduation. She has an amazing heart and I am so happy that she can bring out the best in Mark. Even though she moved back home, we still remain in contact and are both super excited that she will be a part of my wedding day as one of my bridesmaids.
Haniel Enrique Olivera
Groomsman
Enrique is one of my cousins and is the one who got me into many of the TV shows I still watch today like Avatar, One Piece, Danny Phantom, and more. We always hung out together growing up and we shared a lot of common activities like playing games, watching our favorite cartoon shows, building LEGOs, and playing with GUNDAM Figures. I am so excited that he agreed to be one of my groomsmen!
Anna Lyz Gonzalez
Flower Girl
Anna is the most amazing sassy little girl in the whole world! Loved by Natasha and Hazi, she holds a special place in the couple's hearts. Natasha was the first of Hazi's girlfriends that she has approved of (that is why we've gotten this far! ;-) ...) and has been attached to "Matasha" 's hip ever since. We know she will do amazing as she struts down the aisle as the worlds cutest flower girl.
Michael Olivera
Groomsman
Out of all my cousins, Michael is the one I know the best! We were born only a few months apart, spent almost our whole childhoods together, and he is the closest thing I have ever had to a brother! We shared so many interests and share so many memories. We were on the same baseball team as kids, in Adventurers together, and were in the same first and second grade classes. Michael is also the one I blame for getting me into anime and roller coasters. We have had many good times and even some bad times, but through it all, we stuck together. Because of that, I knew that he had to be one of my groomsmen!
Pastor Luis Gracia
Officiant
Pastor Luis is an old family friend of the Gonzalez-Olivera and the King Hunt family. He is the pastor that baptized Natasha. As the Youth Pastor of Markham Woods SDA church at the time, Pastor Luis had a huge impact on Natasha's life as he guided her through some of her most difficult years during her youth. It was clear that there was no way that the couple could be married by anyone else. So, as favor to both of the families Pastor Luis agreed to come all the way from Massachusetts to bring this couple into the next phases of their lives.
