Maid of Honor
From volunteers in high school to lifelong best friends! A baddie with an MBA and a heart of gold. Nallely met Betsy at the same volunteer program that she met Anthony - she has literally been there through it all and we couldn't start this chapter of our lives without her.
Groomsman
Jesus (AKA Chuy) and his soon to be wife, Ana, have been our favorite couple to have double dates. Chuy knows how to have a fun time and is badass fisherman!

Bridesmaid

Bridesmaid
Nallely’s 3rd youngest little sister and the baby of the family who loves to remind Nallely that she is taller than her.

Bridesmaid
The one that gave Nallely the title of "big sister" for the first time. Dressed in matching outfits, they were never not laughing or scheming against our cousins/siblings. Teresa has taught Nallely to be fearless and courageous and has always been someone we can count on. As we prepare to celebrate this incredible milestone, we can’t wait to share this day with her by our side.
Groomsman
