We’re so grateful to have them in our lives, and even though they aren’t with us on the day, their presence is felt as we begin this next chapter together. Get to know the amazing people who’ve been with us every step of the way as we say "I do"!

Jazmine Molina-Men

Maid of Honor

We met a year ago through our dogs, and what started with playdates quickly turned into a friendship full of laughs. I yapped, and she yapped back! Before we knew it, we became inseparable. She’s been by my side every step of the way! I’m so grateful to have her by my side—not just as a friend, but as my true partner in crime. Here’s to many more years of dog playdates and endless laughs!


Yusef Mckey

Groomsman

Sef—also known as Yusef—is a man of few words, but when he does speak, you listen (or you're probably about to get roasted in the calmest way possible). He and Nico have been boys since sophomore year back in 2018, and their friendship really took off on the basketball court. From running games to running squads in Fortnite and Call of Duty, they’ve been through it all. Sef might not always be the loudest in the room, but he’s always there when it counts—and that’s what makes him one of the realest.

Marissa Valentin

Bridesmaid

We may have had a rough start (I’m pretty sure she hated me at first, haha), but over the years, we’ve grown so close. Marissa quickly became more than just family by marriage—she’s a constant source of love, support, and laughter in my life. I’m beyond grateful to have her by my side as not just a bridesmaid, but as a true sister. I couldn’t imagine my journey without her, and I’m so lucky to have her in my corner always.


Darius Brown

Groomsman

Darius and Nico first met back in sophomore year of high school—through a Fortnite match, no less—and we’ve been close friends ever since. Since 2018, our shared love for all things tech has been a big part of their friendship. Whether Nico is dealing with a computer issue or just nerding out over the latest gear, Darius is always there with advice, solutions, or just good conversation. No matter how busy life gets, he always makes time to help out, and Nico really admires that about him.

Gavin Silva

Bridesman

Growing up together, we shared everything from childhood memories to big life moments, and he’s always been there for me. So, when it came time to choose someone to stand by my side, I knew it had to be him. Not only is he my cousin, but he's one of my closest friends, too. He’s been my protector, my partner in mischief, and now, my bridesman. I couldn’t imagine this day without him right by my side.


Jordan Wade

Groomsman

Jordan and Nico may not have known each other long, but you’d never guess it from how close they’ve become. Bonding over basketball, late-night movie chats, and an alarming love for Nico’s pastries (seriously, it’s a problem), Jordan quickly became more than just a friend—he’s like family. He’s the kind of guy who loves hard, shows up for everyone, and somehow makes every hangout feel like a warm hug and a team huddle rolled into one.

Edwin Gonzalez

Bridesman

I met Edwin through my cousin, and in no time, he became someone I consider my own blood. His kindness, sweetness, and big heart have made him a constant source of support and laughter in my life. Whether we're sharing hilarious conversations or reminiscing about our unforgettable raving days, he always knows how to make me smile. Edwin is the kind of person who shows up without hesitation, and I’m beyond grateful to have him by my side. He's not just family; he's a true brother, and I’m lucky to have him on this journey with me.


Justin Camper

Groomsman

Justin and I first met in high school, but like all great bromances, theirs truly blossomed years later... over intense Call of Duty sessions and mutual trash talk. Since then, Justin’s been the go-to guy for movie marathons, video game victories (and defeats), and keeping things hilariously real. He’s the kind of friend who will roast you lovingly, make you laugh until it hurts, and somehow always have the best (and worst) jokes in the room.

Dyllan Justice

Groomsman

Dyllan and Nico connected through their shared circle of friends a couple years ago—and it didn’t take long before the two were talking about everything under the sun. Whether it’s deep convos, dumb jokes, or horror-filled gaming sessions (shoutout to Outlast Trials), Dyllan brings good energy and even better vibes. Whenever he’s in town, Nico always makes it a priority to link up—because that’s just the kind of friend Dyllan is: someone you genuinely want to be around, both on and off stream.


Dennis King

Groomsman

DJ—aka Dennis King, aka Mennis, aka the youngest of the crew—has become like a little brother to Nico over the past year. Whether he’s repping his music group Daydr3am or dropping solo tracks, Nico’s always front row, cheering him on (and probably telling everyone within earshot, “That’s my boy!”). Watching DJ grow into his artistry has been something special, and Nico is always there to support, guide, and hype him up—whether it’s music, life, or the next big Mennis drop.
