Wedding Party
Madeline Natera
Maid of Honor
I am such a lucky bride to have such a great support system by my side. I knew when she was just a few days old that she was going to be one of my best friends, if not my ONLY friend. We’ve seen each other through laughter and tears. She has helped me grow, kept me grounded, lifted my spirit and brightened my life. I honestly do not know what I can say to her that hasn’t already been said! She has been my best friend for 30 years and even though at this point we know way too much about each other and have spent more time together than any two people should she's still ONE of my favorite in this world! I look back to my big moments in the past 30 years, and she has been there for them all. 🙃 The only thing better than having her as my sister is having her as my Maid of Honor :)
Vagner DeBrito
Best Man
Uncle V himself! The person that always looks out for our family. The person that sets the vibe and lifts everyone's spirits. Since day one he showed nothing but love and support towards me. Even though we aren't together as much anymore, I can truly say that he's one of my best friends. No matter how far away we may be or how far away we will soon become, we will never lose that bond. The best of the Best, Best Man.
Karla Marmolejos
Matron of Honor
I want to highlight the insanely beautiful person Karla is... Not only does she deserve her place in my wedding but she needs to be recognized for her kindness, altruistic ways and selflessness. The love she shares especially with me is endless and unconditional... it’s special, rare and strong to say the least. So thankful for her. She’s everything a friend and cousin should be and more ( my reliable confidant 😘). Introducing you to my Matron of Honor!

Groomsman
The fashionista, the intellectual and most kind hearted of the bunch. Thank you for sticking by me, getting to know my life, showing me the most sincere support and unconditional love. I couldn't thank you enough for the countless amount of times that you have stuck by me when I needed you. I have no idea what I'd do without you sometimes... or all of the time. And I am so happy that you're part of my special day.
Ashley Marquez
Bridesmaid
💫One of my Favs. The other "negra" of the family (only makes 2 of us). One of the first cousins I met when I first landed to the USA in 1991. So genuine and a heart of gold. A person I can definitely count on. I may not have picked up her good social skills, but she has taught me so much. I'm roughly 3 years older than her and it just seems like were not even that far apart in age. We relate in so much. She is like a little version of me and I owe you so much! I am so lucky that she's my family because we will have this bond and friendship forever!💯
Quintin Cruz
Groomsman
My Compadre! The man of the hour. The rebel. We have made so many memories throughout our lives, and there will be many more to make in the future. Its insane how we don't see each other often but, when we do link up, it brings excitement and we pick up right where we left off. From taking shots on the court to taking shots at the bar. I'm beyond happy to have your continued support especially on this special day.
Kiara Marquez
Bridesmaid
One of the easiest person to get to know! She's so bubbly and charismatic ... Having her in my wedding is so special and exciting to me. She has always been so easy to talk to. Believe it or not I have always admired her! She marches to her own beat and have the most contagious personality; She has so much to offer the world. I am so proud to have her as a my Bridesmaid.🥰
Rayshon Dolphy
Groomsman
The cool, calm and collective brother. The one that no matter what the situation is, no matter how wrong or right I am, I'll always know that he will be there to bail me out or catch me when I fall. Such a humble human being open to other viewpoints and ideas. While I may be older, there are so many traits of yours that I aspire to have: your dedication, attention, and carefulness. I have learned as much from you, as I hope I have taught and inspired you. We're not done growing up, learning, and feeding off of each other, and we will continue to do so together, and as one. I want to thank you for telling me the truth about everything even when you knew I was not going to like your opinion or what you have to say. Honestly, I want to thank you for being the realest and staying loyal.
Chakira Marquez
Bridesmaid
My yellow-Mellow cousin 😘. I love how fierce, independent and sassy she is. She has such an old soul and wisdom beyond her years. Shes a perfect role model, very focused on getting what she wants, and does not stop until she makes it to the top. Although we have an age gap to us, when we get together we always have a good time. I am so happy to have you as a part of my special day ❤️.
Guy Wiggins
Groomsman
My little cousin, the jokester, the rapper. People say that we start and end with family. In the end, it is your family that will be there to support you no matter what. I want to thank you for the constant laughs and memories that we have shared. I don't know if I can remember a time where we were not laughing at something. Whether it was one of us doing something embarrassing, or we were just laughing for no reason. Thank you for being cousins by blood but friends by choice.
Dailene Spencer
Bridesmaid
I can't stress the fact that I have not 1 complain about her. She's a friend that became a friend from a friend, Get the drift?? lol! But in all honesty, Shes's trustworthy, compassionate, polite, FIESTY yes! I said feisty 💁🏻....as Angelic as she may look she got a little spice in her but I love that about her. Introducing you to a friend that is now my bridesmaid (Yay!🙌) that will be forever in my life!!
Reginald Gregory
Groomsman
Mr. life of the party! It amazes me how low key and timid he was growing up and now he steps in a room and all eyes on him. A person with a great soul and energetic. You have made my life so much better since you entered it and the memories that we have made together are one in a million. With that being said, I hope you know how much I appreciate you, how much I appreciate everything that you do for me and my family. You're such a great uncle and I hope that you know I would do anything for you, without even hesitating because you're my best friend., my bother.
Candice Wade
Bridesmaid
My lighted melanated and hella black chick! lol! Ms. C Wade!! It isn't often that you come across a person who you click with almost immediately. Most friendships take a long time to grow and become something special. Ours, however, is slightly different. I don't think I will ever be able to put into words how grateful and lucky I feel that our paths have crossed. Finding someone who I can completely be myself around has been something very new and very important to me, and I'm so glad you could be that person. Introducing you to my FRIEND!
Tony Odums
Groomsman
I have had many people walk in and out of my life without making much of an impact on me, but with you, everything is different. You have been the one person who has always stayed true to me, regardless of anything that's been happening in our lives. I have never once questioned your friendship or honesty, mainly because I have never had a reason to. We have been through much more than most people know, yet somehow we are still here. Thank you for being you. You’re amazing. If only you knew how grateful I am to be your friend. Thank you for being part of my special day.
Brianna Gregory
Jr. Bridesmaid
My lovely oldest daughter! The one that made me a mom and made me more patient and compassionate basically the one that gave me my strength and will power to over come any obstacle. This little lady here has made a superwoman. Very outspoken and definitely opinionated, with her thoughts and ideas shes definitely the perfect candidate for her role as a Junior Bridesmaid.
Eimer Natera
Groomsman
Oh Boy this guy right here, my brother-in-law: thank you for being another huge part in our foundation. For being the one who keeps the family together at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Thank you for being the rock when we needed it the most and for supporting us through mostly all decisions we have made. We are forever grateful for that.
Analise Gregory
Flower Girl
I call her “my amazing pain in the butt” my Nanin. Such a sweet, caring, emotional sweet pea. My baby, the one that makes my heart melt with her sweet hugs and kisses. She helps me to love myself more with her kind words and compliments. She helps me grow as a woman and a mother. There's no way I can capture my love for you in words. I want to thank you for entering this world and blessing me.
Emanuel Natera
Ring Bearer
My handsome nephew!!! I am so lucky to have you in my life, and being your aunt brings me so much joy. Who would have known that someone so little could have such an impact on me and bring so much happiness into my life? You are an intelligent, rational, knowledgeable young man, now. However, there was a time when you were in diapers, when your latent niceness and genius hadn’t quite developed. Yet, I loved you, for your smallness, for your curiosity to learn from an intelligent adult such as me... I tell the world about you, about how proud of you I am and how adorable you are, and I’m sorry you guys but you have to admit that I have the best nephew in the world. He's just PERFECT! The reason why you're the ring bearer.
