Marina & Eric
Wedding Party
Flor Lotz
Buenos Aires Ambassador
Flor has the superpower of reading Marina’s mind. She is a seasoned traveler, that goes from sipping Beluga Vodka at the St. Petersburgh Astor Hotel (Where Hitler couldn’t) to crossing the Israel /Jordan border on a sherut. She always knows how to have a good time. However, don’t let that angelical Sarah Kay doll face and her hyper-contagious laugh fool you! She is our true Sarah Connor and will go Terminator I, II and III on anyone who doesn’t follow the wedding program or takes away her glass of champagne before is empty.
Guillermo Marti
Father of the Bride
Guillermo started his carrier as a software engineer to later become a business manager of high repute within the Gaming and Casino Industry. Being surrounded by a gang of attorney’s of his own creation, he finds joy in single malt scotch, champagne and a good malbec. He loves traveling, pranking, spending time with his granddaughter Helena (who has him wrapped around her little finger ) and hearing that Racing Club is winning by 2 goals and there are only 15 minutes of game left to be played. Don’t let that Meet-the-Fockers-Robert-De-Niro face intimidate you for a second! He started dating Marina’s mom when he was 16 years old and allows Eric to call him Gordi!
Tomas Avellaneda
Efficiency Supervisor
Tomas has a keen sense for organization and efficiency in all aspects of his life. Juggling his remarkable career as a financial advisor and being a parent to 18 month old twins, he can find the time to point out to Marina, Florencia and Josefina how inefficient they are at organizing anything at all. Tomas is a very quiet one with a developed fine sense of irony to address any dumb question he is being asked. He has been Marina’s good friend for over 20 years.
Georgina Sampalione
Champagne Executive Tester
Georgina is an all terrain woman who rubs elbows with Argentine and International rock stars but also gets elbows deep into an ice bucket to find some chilled bubbles without blinking twice. She loves good champagne in the company of good friends. Owner of an enviable joy of living, don’t let that protocolar smile make you think for a second that she will allow for the champagne to get warm. When Gerogina says jump, rockstars ask “how high”.
Gabriel Reyla
The Italian Hook Up
Gabe is an italian-american software engineer. He is a San Francisco Bay Area resident so he has the ability to get his cacio e pepe with yakitori chicken hearts on top of it. He loves to travel around the globe and to sip a good espresso. Gabe is convinced that pizza shares the world most important invention award together with Internet, electricity and nuclear fusion. Owner of a privileged tenor voice, he is believed to be the next Luciano Pavarotti. When he is not visiting Verona, Gabe loves to sit around with Eric and Osman and watch Rick and Morty.
Ms. Chewbacca Price
The Puppy
Chewie is the true rockstar attending this wedding. Brough up as a jet setter, she splits her time between Austin, TX (where she practices Wookie phonetics ) and Miami Beach (where she perfects her Spanish). Owner of a sharp mind, she has developed a thing for stealing dirty laundry, shoes and prescription glasses. Don’t get fooled by her teddy bear looks. She is well aware of her looks and will steal belly rubs from you before you know what happened.
Manu del Azar
BA Culinary Ambassador
Manu is a professional juggler, she can manage to be the wedding executive pastry chef, Marina’s bridesmaid and the birthday girl, all in one evening. Most likely you will find her dancing and entertaining friends while telling politically incorrect jokes all night, unless she needs to go Keyser Zose on a caterer that messed up the icing on the cake. Among her other skills, Manu can quote any line ever said on the sitcom Friends. Manu and Marina Have been friends since they were 12 years old.
Haydee “Chochi” Marti
Grandmother of the Bride
Her name is Haydee but she goes by Chochi since she was a baby. She is the eldest member of the Marti Family, mother of 3, grandmother of 5 and proud great-grandmother of 2. Despite her age, she has the energy of a Racing Club Hooligan. When Chochi is not attending to some feast or globe trotting with friends or Marina, you can find her running her hometown Senior Center or watching futbol. Unfortunately Chochi is not fluent in English, but as a good carrier school teacher, she can make even rocks to speak proper Spanish. Chochi is thrilled with having Eric as her new grandson, but we all know that she is the Bride’s biggest fan. If you don’t believe this, ask her to show you her personal collection of Marina’s pictures displayed all over her house.
Evan Price
Best Man
Evan is the father of two precocious former flower girls and a baby t-rex. He's also a huge nerd, you can ask him about cryptocurrency, Burning Man, martial arts or dungeons and dragons! Evan was chosen to be the best man not solely for nepotistic reasons (he has great taste in brothers) but also because he was the only one who asked. Fun fact: The first beer he ever tried was Miller High-Life, Eric snuck him into a bar for his 18th birthday and told him to ask for "the champaign of beers". He will be flying all the way form North Carolina magically leaving behind a t-rex and toddlers so lets welcome him and Steph on their Second Honeymoon!!!!!!
Osman Dandia
Man of Honor
Osman is Eric’s west-coast brother from another mother. He was Eric’s cubicle neighbor at his first job in California. Both left IBM to... do anything else. And when that failed they started their own consulting company, with offices at a Coffee shop... for like 2 days, just long enough to be hired. They both moved away from their family and friends to make a career for themselves in California. Around the same time as the 'Consulting Company' stunt was turning into a real job Osman reconnected with his high-school sweetheart, soon there after, Erin moved out to SF and they got married. Erin and Osman have recently moved back to NY. Eric: “Osman, I'm glad you got some time off from your new job, thank you both for coming out!”
