Lourdes & Anthony
Wedding Party
Jesus
Father of the Groom
Jesus, you are one of the best fathers a kid could ever ask for. There was never a question about your love for your family and your willingness to do whatever you have to, to provide. I have learned so much from you. The greatest lesson you have taught me is what it really means to be a man and to be a role model for those around you. I know I am not the only person who looks to you for advice, and how to navigate life's ups and downs. I am forever grateful to have you as my father, I love you.
Caridad
Mother of the Groom
I am lucky to be able to call one of the most caring and compassionate people my mom. Growing up you made sure our home was full of warmth and love. I have grown to appreciate the lessons you have taught my siblings and I through your actions. I have observed and learned what it means to be a true partner in life, by watching you. Your mild manner, and calm demeanor have always brought the family peace during tumultuous times. I am forever grateful for you, I love you.
Rolando
Father of the Bride
Papi, para mi eres el mejor padre del mundo. Siempre me apoyas en todos mis sueños. Te agradezco mucho por tu amor y sabiduría. Eres mi papa y mi mejor amigo. Gracias por todo el amor que me has dado y el apoyo en ser la persona que soy hoy. Nadie me inspira a confiar en mi misma cómo lo haces tú, porque nadie me conoce mejor que tú. Eres mi fortaleza, mi ancla, mi apoyo.. y no se que seria yo sin ti. Aunque ya soy adulta y me voy a casar con el amor de mi vida, yo siempre voy a ser tu niña chiquita. Te quiero con todo mi corazón y siempre estoy orgullosa de ser tu hija.
Ana
Mother of the Bride
Everything that I am, everything that I aspire to be is because of your love and sacrifice. Mom, I am forever grateful for you and all that you’ve done for Roly and I. You’re my best friend, my confidante, my anchor, my role model, my everything. I don’t know what I did to deserve such an amazing mom, but I am so grateful to God for making you my mommy. You have been my rock my whole life and now through wedding planning! You are the best Momager! Thank you for always going out of your way to make every moment special, no matter how big or small. You are the best mom in the world and I love you with all my heart. I can’t wait to have you give me away to the man of my dreams.
Bianca
Maid of Honor
Bianca, you are the sister I never had. We are each other’s biggest fan, non-licensed therapists, guaranteed good time, existential conversationalists, but most importantly we are each other’s mirrors. We remind each other of our self growth, self love, and greatest potential. We met in middle school, we failed our Statistics project in high school, had so many Ice cream and wine nights in college and decided to face the world together ever since! You have been there for so many milestones. I can't imagine Anthony and I's special day without you by my side. Thank you for all your love and support and for making this experience so fun and even more meaningful.
Jesus Jr.
Best Man
Jesus "Sito" is my big brother and best man. Since we shared a room and slept in bunk beds, Sito has been there for me in more ways than one. He has always set the example and paved the way for me and my sister. It only felt right having my big brother as my best man as I enter this new chapter of my life.
Franchesca
Bridesmaid
I feel very lucky to be marrying Anthony for many reasons and being able to call Franchesca my sister is one of them. She is one of the most dedicated people I know. She is the best sister to Anthony, always so thoughtful, supportive, and pushes him to be his best. I truly admire her ambitious nature and like a true sister I look up to her. Thank you for all your help, love, and support. I am so happy to have you by our side on our special day and to share a lifetime of memories with you.
Adriana
Bridesmaid
I remember meeting Adri and thinking "she's the coolest girl I know" and the statement still is true. She is always so passionate, intelligent, and kind. I get excited thinking about the future and having you be the "cool tia" to our kids. Anthony and I truly look up to you and Sito's love and marriage. Thank you for being a big sister to us and for all your love and support. We are so happy to have you by our side on our wedding day!
Gio
Groomsman
I have known Gio for almost ten years now. As his relationship with my sister has grown, his relationship with our family has grown as well. I consider him to be another brother to me and a part of my family. I look forward to making many memories with him in the future.
Roly
Groomsman
My baby bro, I love you so much. Not many can make me laugh like you do. I feel so lucky to have grown up with a brother like you, a forever best friend. We share so many moments, memories, laughter, and lessons. You will always be my baby and I will always be your “mana”. I am so grateful to Mami and Papi for giving me you, the best gift a sister can ask for. You are so special to me, Anthony and I are so lucky to have you part of our special day. I love you Pooj.
Natalie
Bridesmaid
We met in high school but our friendship grew stronger in college as we'd have deep conversations while getting ready for the night's party. Sirven, I can't imagine my life without you. You are my best friend, my sister, my mirror. You are always my voice of reason and I am so grateful for that. One of my favorite parts of my day is talking to you on our commute home from work. Thank you for all the love, advice, and laughs you’ve shared with me. I appreciate all your help and love during wedding planning!! I love you so much. I can't imagine marrying Anthony without you by my side! P.s. one more beer for Sirven!!!
Chris
Groomsman
I distinctively remember the day I met Chris. Little did I know that I met a friend for life. I have known Chris for a decade now and we have both grown tremendously in that time. I feel it is only right to have Chris as a part of this moment in my life, as he has been a part of so many others. Anyone would be lucky, to have a friend like Chris.
Evie
Bridesmaid
When I think about my future with Anthony, I get so excited thinking about our double dates with Evie and Chris. Our men brought us closer together but she’s truly become one of my best friends. From sorority sisters, to double dates, and now being bridesmaids in each other’s weddings! Evie has become a true sister to me and I can’t imagine my life without her. Thank you for all your love and support.
Nate
Groomsman
I have known Nate for almost a decade. I met him when he was a 17 year old freshman at FIU. Even though he was young when we met, I haven't met many people with a heart as big as Nate's. His humor and light-heartedness bring life into any room. As I think about the time right before my relationship began with Lulu, Nate was there, wondering and asking when I would ask her out. Without question, I knew I needed Nate to be a groomsmen.
Sydney
Bridesmaid
When you look up the word loyal in the dictionary there is probably a picture of Sydney. From the first time we met in Chemistry at Boston College, I knew we would be friends forever. Sydney and I shared a tiny bed room in college for three years and there's no one else I would/ could do that with! She's my nursing twin, Boston best friend, my Italian sister. Sydney and her family took me in as their own when I lived in Boston and we’ve been family ever since. She also had to hear me talk about Anthony aka "Izzy" all throughout college. I have been truly blessed with your sisterhood and I am forever grateful for you. I love you so much! I am so happy to have you by my side on this special day!
Gabriela
Bridesmaid
You have always been my prima, but when I moved to Boston you became my little sister. Our Gilmore Girls marathons, apple pie baking, and our late night conversations are memories that I cherish forever. You have grown up to be such an amazing young woman and you make me so proud! Your passion inspires me in so many ways. It is such an incredible thought to think about all that you have accomplished and will continue to accomplish. I love you so much. I can't wait to have you by my side on Anthony and I's special day.
Jordyn
Junior Bridesmaid
I’m lucky to call JG my beautiful, bright, and fun God daughter. It has been such a privilege to see you grow up and blossom into the amazing girl that you are. You are so special to me and I can’t wait to have you walk with me on my special day. I love you to the moon and back!
Ruby
Flower Girl
A flower girl’s primary role? To be adorable and Ruby is nothing short of that. One of Lulu’s littlest primas but don’t let that fool you, she has a big beautiful personality! I can’t wait to walk down the aisle with you!
Logan
Ring Bearer
With great power comes great responsibility and that is why Logan and Sammy are our ring bearers. We trust that our rings are in great hands with these two! Logan is one of Lulu's little cousins who is as cute as he is a genius! We are sure these two will steal everyone's heart away. We can't wait to walk down the aisle with you!
Sammy
Ring Bearer
With great power comes great responsibility and that is why Logan and Sammy are our ring bearers. We know our rings are in great hands with these two! Sammy is one of Lulu's little cousins who is fun, sweet, and they will surely steal everyone's heart away. We can't wait to walk down the aisle with you !
