Marie & Edgar
Wedding Party
Emily Leguizamo
Maid of Honor
My sister, my best friend, how could I say "I do" without you right by my side. The day I met you as a little 5 lb preemie i knew we'd be bonded for life. Thank you for the endless laughs, and silly faces, face-time, and gossip texts/voice messages. Always making sure to send me videos of you while your out just to show me you're listening to one of our songs... or better, Mariah Carey. No matter how far or how annoyed you may be because I forgot to call you back, we are always together. My heart, my sister....71
Sebastian Gomez
Best Man
I remember the day we met vividly. We were in sixth grade, it was during a PE class, and I asked you if you spoke Spanish, you said "NO" which confused me a bit when shortly after you changed your name from Sebastian to Chile. The reason why I will never forget that day is simple, that day I met my brother. Most of my childhood memories have you in them; you have been with me through it all. It is a true privilege to have you standing as my best man the day I marry the woman I love.
Maria Jaramillo
Bridesmaid
The fashion diva in my life. Thanks for always keeping me cool and in the “know” with the latest Kardashian news or the hottest supermodel who is trending, skin routine or expression in Spanish that makes me laugh, conchino lol I’m so happy to add another sister to my clan. Thank you for being you!
Albert Leguizamo
Groomsman
If I had the possibility to choose a brother-in-law, it would be a man that his shirts never wrinkle, someone that tips an astonishing 100%, a dude who the police often question him just because they find him interesting, and someone who has been to more places than the Dos Equis Man. It's hard to find someone that can party harder than Albert. Be aware he is also a master negotiator that will convince you of pretty much of anything. But most importantly behind that cool and collected front, he is a soft loving dude that cares for his family more than anything.
Erika Jaramillo
Bridesmaid
Erika I can’t believe it’s only been 4 years since we’ve met. Thank you for accepting me into your family. I really enjoy spending time with you and your wonderful children and I look forward to many years to come.
Stiven Garzon
Groomsman
Stiven and I met when we were 10 years old. It was my first day of school in the United States. He walked up to me, asked me "where you from? (yes, not "where are you from?)" I answered "Colombia," and we've been best friends ever since. We became part of each other's families and have stood by each other for over 20 years. No matter how much time we spend apart when we talk it's like we are back in elementary school all over again.
Karla Leguizamo
Bridesmaid
Karlita! It was only months ago when I got to stand by your side when you married my little brother, Albert. Thanks for coming into my life and making my brother a better man. Thanks for your amazing baking skills and fabulous taste in accessories. You've become a great sister and friend.
Valentina Jaramillo
Groomswoman
Valentina is my dearest cousin, but I never really saw her as a cousin, because to me she has always been my little sister. Very few people in this world have her courage, drive, and determination to accomplish and succeed at pretty much everything she sets her mind to. I'm more than proud of the person she is today, and there was no way she wouldn't be standing by my side on my wedding day.
Kristin Bredes LaFemina
Bridesmaid
Kristin – it feels like it was just yesterday when we were at Oldfield Middle School and you helped me as I cried "Donde esta mi locker" So many amazing memories of us playing softball with your dad as our coach, you teaching me how to drive while blasting Big Pun "I'm still not a player" and us doping boys as students from Fordham Law, "Wait, he's your professor too?" I love you so much my besters. Thank you for always being there for me, no matter what!
Diego Acosta
Groomsman
Profe, I am fortunate to have a mentor like you, in both a personal and professional level. And, I feel the luckiest to have you as one of my closest friends. Thank you for all the advice you have given me throughout the years, thank you for the lessons, and for your unconditional support.
Natalie Spedaliere
Bridesmaid
Angel Eyes... 20 years! 20 years since we first met in the hallways of the freshmen dorms, Spellman at Manhattanville College. I remember two excited 17-year-olds galavanting around introducing themselves. Who would've thought that 20 years later you would be standing with me as I say "I do." Thanks for always picking up where we left off no matter how much time had passed.
Andres De Oliveira
Groomsman
Hey bro, RELAX… The Master Chef king without a crown. We haven't known each other for a lifetime, but it sure feels like we've known each other forever. Your soccer skills are OK, your humor is too dark, but you can cook like a beast. Love you, bro.
Stacy Hannan
Bridesmaid
Stacy!!!! "Tell me more" I will never forget our girly sleepovers where we spill our guts or adventures in England riding the London Eye and having a snob headache because honestly, those seats were just too far. You're positive energy, and contagious laugh always makes me feel so happy to be around. Thanks for being you!
Alejandro Olivares
Groomsman
I would like to think, Alejandro came into my life by fate. I met him while I was working in college and for the next 5 years of our lives, we worked on every project together. We've grown together professionally, and I've seemed him go from intern to Lead Audio Engineer of one the biggest TV shows in the US. He is one of the smartest guys I have ever met, and he can also party like is 1999.
Marcus Jansen
Officiant
When people ask us who do we admire in the TV industry, our first answer is always Marc Jansen. He has superhuman ears, a heart of gold, consumes more bananas than anyone in any production, a fantastic eye for content, a constant beat in his head that sometimes can't control as he beats on his chest, he has won countless awards, and he has worked in more countries that most of us have ever visited. On top of all this awesomeness, he is the captain of his own boat and knows the Mediterranean better than any cruise captain. Marc, to us, is a mentor, a role model, but most importantly, a friend we love dearly. We are honored he accepted the task as officiant for our special day, and we cannot wait to hear his speech.
Rosa Matta Guerra
Mother of the Bride
Mom, there really aren't enough words in this entire planet to tell you how much I love you and how grateful I am to call you my mom. I love you always....your sunshine, your ocean and sun. xo
Alberto Leguizamo
Father of the Bride
DAD!!!! Can you believe it!! Im getting married... and to a colombian, just like you. hehe. I love you very very very much. Thank you for the catch up phone calls, hugs and kisses and life advise. I love you, dad! Can't wait to have you walk me down that aisle.
Consuelo Acevedo - Perez
Mother of the Groom
El poder describir lo que una madre hace por su hijo es un gran reto, pero poder explicar cómo es que tengo a la mejor mamá del mundo es un reto inalcanzable. Sin embargo, lo que sí puedo intentar, es agradecerte por ser la mejor mamá que un hijo pueda tener. Me enseñaste a dar y recibir amor, a ser fuerte, a ser un líder, siempre me has exigido la excelencia y eso me ha hecho la persona que soy hoy. Gracias por inculcarme que la familia es lo mas importante, y por sacrificar todo por mi felicidad. No se de donde sacas esa fortaleza incomparable y espero algún día, poder llegar a tener la mitad de tu energía y determinación para lograr tener una familia como la que tu creaste junto con mi papa. Gracias infinitas, te amo.
