“I met Melanie through Kappa Delta Chi Sorority. She helped me throughout my process and is now big! She has been there for me like a big sister and an amazing friend ever since we first met! I love how caring and helpful she is to everyone. She introduced me to German, and I'm so grateful she did. They make an incredible couple and are perfect for one another! In the few time I have known them, German has also been a great friend, and I have enjoyed watching the two of them grow together. I am so grateful to be a part of these special moments and I look forward to seeing many more special moments with them! Cheers to Melanie and German!” - Evelin

“I first met German in Spring semester of 2020 at UNT as my Line brother and now Fraternal brother of ODPhi. Since then he has never failed to be someone I can always count on for support, motivation and a laugh. Through countless memories and adventures, my LB has always been a good soul and I’ve had the honor to see him flourish into the man he is today. I am very fortunate and blessed to be apart of this significant moment by his side as he takes on a new chapter in life with his bride. I love you LB! Congratulations to you both!!” -Luis

Bridesmaid
“ Throughout life we meet certain people that make a difference in our lives. One person that has made an impact in my life is the bride Melanie Cruz. In 2022 I had the blessing to meet Melanie. She is someone who is sensitive, honest and loving. Kappa Delta Chi gave me Melanie as a big sister. This role symbolizes being the backbone and rock of their little sister. Melanie has never failed to do this. While forming my relationship with Melanie. German came with Melanie. German makes my big happy. He supports, defends and loves her in the hardest and easiest moments. Regardless of the little time that I have known both of them. They are still a wonderful couple that makes everyone smile and laugh when they are in the room with others. The happiness that they bring is their powerful love spreading onto to others. Their love inspires other's as well as themselves. Once the wedding arrives the future will be nourished with God's love.” - Mia

“The first time I met German isn't a tremendous story as our first encounter together was just online meetings through zoom and discord. While the start of our friendship was colored by bland digital screens and lackluster meetings, it would only be temporary, as when I was able to come back to Dallas from Houston, I was able to met German in person, and it was from than on where we shared so many memories together. As brothers, we've laughed together, ate together, argued together, and struggled together and now I'll be present in one of the most monumental moments that he'll ever get to experience in his life - Being married to such a wonderful woman. I been able to witness the bride and groom go through the ups and downs of a relationship, the highs and lows of being students, and the exciting and stressful life of being apart of Greek life. And it was through those times that I saw them exhibit one trait in their relationship in which so many people struggle to learn and do and that's Perseverance. The will to never give up. No matter what these two went through, they never gave up on each other, no matter how difficult it may have been, whether it be to support, to understand, or to simply be there for one another. They truly love and care for each other and I am glad to be able to call myself a friend.” - Gabriel

I am forever thankful for having meet her and being her Big 💕” - Camila

“I remember meeting German through Jonny and we connected from there. He invited me out to his birthday where I met more brothers from DFW and his soon to be wife Melanie. From there, I’ve had the honor of being a part of his proposal, Super Bowl watch party, and meeting his family. It grows as it goes! “ - David

“I met Melanie through our sorority in Fall 2020 but didn’t have a chance to truly get to know her until a year later and I’m so glad that I did! Melanie is such a kind hearted and hardworking person who always reminds me to look at the positive side of things. I’m so happy for her and German and can’t wait to celebrate their love!” - Cristy

Groomsman
“I have known German for a few years now, I met him as an eager new member of the brotherhood we are part of: Omega Delta Phi. German invited myself and other older brothers to dinner and his curiosity and desire to know everything about our experience in ODPhi was inspiring. German is a prime example of what a good friend should be: always checking in and always present. I had the pleasure of meeting Melanie and getting to know her better after I was asked to be part of the wedding party. But the love they have for each other and the sparkle in their eyes when looking at one another is evident from a mile away. I was pleasantly surprised that German bestowed the honor of standing in his wedding to me but I am more than happy to be there alongside Melanie and he as they embark upon this new journey together.” - Luis

Groomsman
"When I first met German is when I first met the majority of the brothers. I recently moved to Dallas and didn’t know anyone. German was immediately welcoming with open arms and I instantly felt the love he radiates. When I first met him we instantly hit it off and, honestly, he is one of the most genuine people that I know. As time went on, he introduced me to Melanie. And just like when I met German, Melanie and I instantly hit it off. I am blessed to have met these two individuals and I am extremely fortunate to be a witness of their communion & be a part of their precious ceremony." - Larry
Jessica Monsivais
Bridesmaid
“I was first introduced to Melanie by a mutual friend (s/o to Daisy) in 2020 before she transferred to UTD. She shared that she was very keen in joining our sisterhood and 5 months later she did just that. Within that 5 month journey I had the privilege of getting to know her and grew closer to her every day. And I love that I get to say that sisterhood and deep friendship has continued to grow to this day and will continue to do so. In that timeframe I inevitably met German and I saw firsthand the love they have for each other. Forever grateful I get to be a part of this major milestone in their lives. Cheers to the happy couple!” - Jessica

“In the spring of 2020, I had the opportunity of meeting German through our Too HYPE Too Proud brotherhood of ODPhi. While German may have left UNT to UTD to finish his degree and to be with the love of his life, his presence has always been felt. I can proudly say that throughout these years I have witnessed German develop into the man he is today. To German and Melanie, may God bless you both and guide your new adventures of marriage. Lastly, German always remember grown man cry too - IYKYK ;)” - Juan

" I met Melanie through my sorority. When I first met her, I thought she was really nice and had a great personality. She's an amazing person and a great friend. She has a big heart and is someone who I can rely on as a friend. I met German when I met Melanie. He's great and I think Melanie and him balance each other out. " - Kelly

"I met my brother German during the process of becoming a brother of ODPhi. I always saw him as a little brother I never had. He would always ask me questions that I felt had an obvious answer; but I found comfort in him trusting me because I fully understand how hard it is to trust people you've just met. From the day he brought up Melanie into conversation I knew he was fully simped, and head over heels for this lady." - Juancarlos
