The Rosario Wedding
Wedding Party
Kameo Benner
Matron of Honor
My bestie since birth, my cousin, and day one. I'm so honored to have Kameo by my side. She is the best wife and mama to her little family, and I've always looked up to her. Every summer, she would come visit us in Houston, and we made countless memories. So, if you're around us, I'm sorry in advance, because there will be endless inside jokes being made. As a military spouse, she's also my excuse to travel the world, and follow them wherever they go hahaha. She brings laughter to every room she enters, and she tears up a dance floor!!! I can't wait for them to come home and celebrate with us! I love you!!
Simone Hudson
Maid of Honor
Momo, the girl who is expected to be at every function I attend. If you see me, she's not far behind, and vice versa. She has been my co-parent over the last several years and the best auntie to the girls. God placed her in my life to be the sister I always wished I had growing up. When I need to vent without judgement or laugh until I cry, Simone is my girl. I love you with my whole heart and I couldn't have done this without you. Literally, wouldn't have met Stevie, if she hadn't dragged me to brunch that day! Haha.
Courtney Smith
Bridesmaid
My coco! We’ve been friends since my freshman year of high school and quickly formed a sister bond when we realized that our brothers, Michael and Chaz were also quickly becoming best friends and brothers. From that point on, we were always at each other's houses or at their property riding horses and around a bonfire. Even though we’re cities apart, our love and bond never waver. Court and I are huge on loyalty, and that's not something either of us has ever had to second guess with each other. We are by each other's side in every season of life, and I’m so honored to have you by my side on our wedding day, Court. I love you!!
Sarah Wilson
Bridesmaid
Sarah-yyyy. Also, goes by lemon drop hahaha. She is married to my oldest brother, Zachary. I'm so grateful that I was blessed with the best and sweetest sister in laws. Our favorite thing to do, is travel together, preferably out of the country. If we could move to Europe tomorrow, we would! And you would find us sipping on espresso martinis all day long. I love you my sweet sister and I'm so grateful to have you by my side.
Sontera Dresch
Bridesmaid
Another sweet cousin of mine, that I'm blessed to call one of my best friends. The type B friend to my type A (although she makes a killer itinerary). She radiates sunshine and always gives me the best, sound advice. We send each other 5-minute-long voice notes and lose our train of thought, halfway through, every time. If you hear us both on the phone, you wouldn't be able to tell who is who. Sooo, obviously that makes her my twin, duh ;) She's always there no matter what, so our special day wouldn't be any different. I love you!!
Andrea Gray
Bridesmaid
Sista, sista!! My brother Michael's other half, but my sister soulmate. We met and immediately became close friends. Andrea is genuinely such a sweet soul, and she has your back like no other. She also has quickly become "auntie Annie" to our girls, and they adore her as much as we all do. We have made so many memories thus far, and I can't wait to continue giggling in serious situations with you, including our wedding day. 'Til the wheels fall off my girl!! I love you!!
Karlos Ortiz
Best Man
Karlos and I have lived what feels like several different lifetimes in one, and as God would have it, he's been there for me through all of them. Grounded in God, Karlos has been a mentor, a friend and the true definition of a big brother in Christ for me. Whether it's talking about NASCAR, the best local brewery, or being disappointed by the Cowboys, I can't wait til the next time I'm talking to me brother.
Miguel Ortiz
Groomsman
While we didn't grow up together, I feel like we've always shared the attitude of picking up where we left off. I've has always admired Migue's self-made nature, as well as his grit, toughness, and being the type of man to not be afraid to work with his hands. When I think of boxing or fight nights, I think of his Migue. There's 2 things that NO ONE does better than Migue: A good prank, and not taking life (or yourself) too seriously.
Michael Mathis
Groomsman
Michael is the fun-loving, go-with-the-flow type of brother that I resonate with. Even if Michael's shift is over at 11:00 p.m., he's happy to swing by a local joint just to have a drink and chop it up with me. He's always been the warm, welcoming, fun-loving, good time that I appreciate and love to have a good laugh with. I think the thing I admire the most about him is how involved and loving of a father that Michael is to Carter. By the way, brother.. we still gotta refine that handshake..
Zachary Wilson
Groomsman
The master planner, the pro golfer, the keeper of yards; I have always appreciated Zach's "Type-A" nature. While sometimes forward, he can also be heart-felt (even if Zach doesn't like to admit it). As distinct as we are from each other, we're complimentary of each other and I love how our personalities balance. Some of my best, early memories with Zach involve being welcomed with open arms to football Sundays!!
Scott Dupre
Groomsman
Roommates, band nerds, groomsmen (in each other's weddings). I have Scott to thank for some of the best, and also most challenging experiences of me life. We quickly became friends at UH (Go Coogs!!) Scott not only encouraged me to learn a brand new instrument and try out for an elite, world-class group that travels the country, but also, to then rehearse in +100° heat for 12 hours at a time. It takes a certain type of crazy and thankfully, we both had it.
Bryant Aynes
Groomsman
Bryant and I's friendship goes back almost exactly a decade, but it definitely feels longer. Through some of the toughest times of our lives, we grew through it and became brothers. Between poker nights, screaming at our Xbox's (okay.. I was the one screaming), or late nights shutting down a local bar, we've been through all kinds of ups and downs. While now only one of us is a teacher, we both recognize that life experience is the best teacher. I'm glad to get to experience this life with my favorite teacher and brother.
Taylr Martin
Flower Girl
Our sweet Tay and the leader of the trio. Mommy can't wait to see you in a beautiful dress, as I marry the man that I hope you and your sister always look up to. Steven and I love you both, beyond words.
Emerson Martin
Flower Girl
Our Goosey Goose! Her light shines so bright, while she keeps us on our toes. She became attached to Steven quickly, and made me realize even more, that he was the man I want my girls to grow up seeing me married to. We love you, bug!
Carter Mathis
Ring Bearer
Tarter- sauceee! The youngest of the tribe and the sweetest soul. He calls Steven "the bald guy" and Lauren goes by "Yaya". We are so excited to have you be apart of our big day, bubba!! We love you, our Puerto Rican kinnnng.
