Lizbeth & Jeffrey
Wedding Party
Pancakes
Dog of Honor
Pancakes the Peekapoo is the love of our lives and has been Lizbeth's dog for almost 13 years now. Even though he doesn't have his eyes anymore due to glaucoma, we know he's going to love smelling and feeling the sand on the beaches of Vieques.
Cole Hertzler
Ring Bearer
Cole is Lizbeth's nephew and even though he loves Jeffrey way more than he loves Liz, we absolutely love having him as our nephew. He is going to be the cutest ring bearer ever--we just hope he cooperates and walks down the aisle. We also hope he doesn't lose our rings.
Madison Hertzler
Flower Girl
Our first flower girl is Madison who is Lizbeth's first niece. We know that traditionally flower girls are much younger, but ever since the girls were little, Liz knew she wanted them to be her flower girls one day. Little did she know that she would get married later in life and the girls would no longer be girls, but instead teens. Madison is sweet, stylish, and so much fun! We are thrilled she agreed to be in our wedding and she is thrilled to officially have an uncle.
Ayanna Hertzler
Flower Girl
Ayanna is our second flower girl and Lizbeth's youngest niece. She probably had a lot of say in the wedding reception play list since she always knows all of the best songs. Ayanna loves a good dance party and always has the best dance moves. We are so excited to have her as one of our flower girls too!
Norm Pyle
Officiant
We met Norm on our second trip to Vieques. Nine months after Hurricane Maria, we returned to Vieques because we couldn't stay away & we wanted to give back to the economy & the community. We signed up for a beach clean up at our favorite beach (La Chiva) and met Norm & his wife Deb who had recently moved to Vieques from the States. Norm was wearing a Florida Gator hat and Jeff was wearing Gator shorts & the rest is history. Norm and Deb were there when Jeff proposed on the rooftop of El Blok and we felt it was fitting to ask him to marry us since he and his wife have a marriage based on adventure, laughter & love. We hope one day we can follow their lead, retire early and drink Medallas on the beach! Also, their website viequesbeachmap.com is a guide for the many beaches you can explore.
