Best Man
Arnie met Luis when he was about 8 years old. The two spent the summers playing football in the street, hitting multiple parked cars in the process. Through thick and thin, Luis has always been some one Arnie can count on and someone who has always had his best interests at heart. Arnie couldn't be more excited for him to be his best man.
Maid of Honor
Marisa and Emily have been best friends since 7th grade. Marisa and Emily attended different high schools and collages and continue to live 3 hours away from each other. Despite that, they have maintained almost 15 years of friendship. Marisa couldn't imagine any one else as her Maid of Honor.
Ring Bearer
Caleb is Marisa's only child and Arnie's soon-to-be stepson. He is far too smart for his own good and brings a natural lightness to everyone around him. He is loved beyond measure and will easily steal the show on the big day.
Flowers
Flowers are usually done by the youngest girls in the family, so our moms will be doing us the honor of laying the petals down the aisle. Our moms are about as good of friends as we are and we wanted them to play big roles in our wedding.
Groomsman
Michael is Marisa's only brother. After enlisting in the Army amidst the pandemic, we weren't sure he would be able to attend, but are grateful that he will be a part of our big day. Michael offers Marisa a sense of groundedness that she will need on her big day.
Bridesmaid
Melanie has always been Marisa's quirky younger sister. Marisa is more than excited to have Mel be a part of such an exciting day in her life, even if it means most of the wedding photos will be ruined by some funny face or big hand/leg gesture.
Groomsman
Manuel is Arnulfo's younger, but taller, brother. Growing up, Manuel was always the responsible one, making it seem like he was the eldest at times. A smart and confident individual, Arnie has always admired his younger brother very much, and is very excited to have him join him for the ceremony.
Bridesmaid
Maria is Arnie's youngest sibling. Being that Maria was the baby of the family, Arnie always took it upon himself to be her protector, and look after her. Now a senior at Sequoia High School, she is all grown up. We are very excited to have her join us on our big day.
Groomsman
Russell and Marisa started working together in 2018 and soon became housemates as the cost of living skyrocketed in the Bay Area. Russell was soon joining Thanksgiving dinners and had his own stocking hung with ours for Christmas. He is an extended member of our family and Caleb's favorite uncle (sorry fellas).
Bridesmaid
Sarah is Arnie's older of 2 sisters. We will never forget the first time Marisa was introduced to Arnie's family and her immediate response was how lucky Arnie was. Little did she know how right she was back then. We are so excited to have Sarah's continued support down the aisle.
Groomsman
Arnie and Armando met in high school, but it wasn't until college that their bromance truly blossomed. Always down for a good time, the two have been to countless concerts and 49er games. Armando is always there to lend an ear and support Arnie, and his presence with us on our wedding day is greatly appreciated and cherished.
Bridesmaid
Arnie knew Jenny back in college as Mando's girlfriend and she was the first person whose advice he sought out 3 years ago when he wasn't sure if he should chase after the girl who got away. Over the course of our relationship, Jenny has seen it all and been unwaivering in her friendship. Marisa and Jenny have been thick as thieves and is someone both Marisa and Arnie are so blessed to have in our wedding.
Groomsman
Eduardo Santos. The man, the myth, the legend. One of Arnie's best friends in the world. If you were to run into Arnie out and about, chances are, Eddie isn't too far behind. Eddie is a fun loving individual who can put a smile on anyones face. We are truly excited to have him join us on our big day.
