Our Story
Natalie Reyes and Ernesto Lopez met in 2013 working at the Happiest Place on Earth. They worked alongside one another on Main Street, making magic. Co-workers slowly turned into falling in love and living happily ever after or as the story goes… Christmas Eve 2023, Ernesto proposed with a little help from the mouse. Ernesto Lopez surprised Natalie Reyes by proposing in front of close family with a Mickey Mouse Christmas ornament that read ‘Will you marry me?’ They're so excited to start the next phase of their lives together and can't wait to celebrate with you in March!

Wedding Party
Paige Medina
Maid of Honor
Since our teenage years, Paige has been my confidante, my partner in adventure, and the sister I got to choose. Through every chapter of my life, she has stood by me with unwavering kindness, a listening ear, and a heart full of love. Her compassion knows no bounds—she’s always the first to offer a helping hand, a warm hug, or the perfect words of encouragement. I am endlessly grateful for her friendship, her laughter, and the countless memories we’ve shared. Having her as my maid of honor is a true honor, and I couldn’t imagine this special day without her by my side.
Nicky Macias
Bridesman
Since our teenage years, Nicky has been by my side through every adventure, milestone, and late-night heart-to-heart. From awkward high school days to celebrating life’s biggest moments, they’ve been my unwavering friend and the truest supporter of our love story. When it came time for our engagement pictures, they were there—helping us capture every laugh and every loving glance, making the day even more special with their warmth and encouragement. I am endlessly grateful for their loyalty, their kindness, and the way they have always championed our happiness. I couldn’t imagine saying “I do” without them standing beside me, just as they always have.
Nicolette Reyes
Bridesmaid
My sister, Nicolette, isn’t just my bridesmaid—she’s been the unwavering force behind me every step of the way. Through every high and low, she’s been my biggest cheerleader and the brute force of encouragement I never knew I needed. Whether I was overwhelmed with wedding plans or doubting myself, she was always there, lifting me up with her strength, humor, and endless support. She’s not only my sister by blood, but my best friend by choice, and I couldn’t imagine this day without her by my side.
Nancy Delacruz
Bridesmaid
My bridesmaid, Nancy, is more than just my closest confidante—she’s my sister, my rock, and my guiding light. Through every twist and turn of wedding planning, she’s stood by my side, helping me make the tough decisions with unwavering love and support. Her wisdom, patience, and heartfelt encouragement have turned even the most stressful moments into cherished memories. I couldn’t imagine this journey without her, and I am endlessly grateful for the strength and warmth she brings to every step of this special day.
Rosa Lopez
Bridesmaid
Standing by my side today is not only my bridesmaid, but also my soon-to-be sister-in-law—a role she’s been filling in spirit long before the wedding. As the groom’s sister, Rosa has been a constant in our lives, offering unwavering support, laughter, and kindness. She’s been an open ear and a close friend through all the years, always ready to listen, share advice, or simply be there when I needed her most. I truly couldn’t imagine this day, or this journey, without her by my side. Her love and friendship mean the world to me, and I feel so lucky to call her both family and friend.
Orlando Aguirre
Best Man
Orlando is the best kind of friend to have because he’s loyal to the core, always there when you need him and fun to be around. He’s been there through thick and thin and had the most unforgettable memories. Best man isn’t just a title, it’s a testament of a friendship built on trust and laughter.
Eli Espinoza
Groomsman
Since we’ve been kids, Eli and I have the funniest memories. He’s been a loyal friend through many chapters of my life and he’s a good influence throughout. He always offers a listening ear, honest advice and a shoulder to lean on. Having him as a groomsmen is an honor and can’t imagine this day without him.
Ricardo Alejandro
Groomsman
This groomsman, Ricky, has been a driving support from day one. He’s the first to welcome everyone with a warm smile and quick joke. His energy is infectious and makes every moment memorable. The celebration wouldn’t be the same without him.
Jose Velazquez
Groomsman
Jose is the kind of groomsmen you hope to have by your side. He’s the first on the dance floor and the last one to leave. He’s more than just the party-starter, he listens and doesn’t judge and always there for you. We are very grateful for having him in our lives.
Eric Escobedo
Groomsman
Eric is much more than just a member of the wedding party; he’s a true friend and biggest supporter. Throughout this journey, he’s been there for every step of the way. He was instrumental for keeping the engagement under wraps. Throughout laughter and late nights, secrets and supports, he’s the friend who proves, time and again, he’ll always be there.

FAQs
Question
Are Children Invited?
Answer
We adore your little ones, but our wedding will be an adults-only celebration (with the exception of children in the wedding party). We hope you enjoy a fun night out!
Question
Can I bring a +1?
Answer
Due to limited capacity, we are only able to accommodate those formally invited. If you received a plus one, it will be addressed on your invitation and RSVP section of the website.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
We would love to see our family and friends dressed up with us! We are requesting semi formal dress code for the evening. For men, this means suits, or button down shirts and dress pants with a tie or bow tie (no flip flops). For women, floor-length or cocktail dresses, dressy jumpsuits are appropriate. We encourage everyone to dress to impress while keeping in mind the venue's vibe and weather. If you're unsure-it's always better to be overdressed than underdressed! Wear whatever color you would like, but please no white, ivory or cream. (Please note that the bridesmaids will be wearing shades of blue)
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
The ceremony will begin promptly at 4pm, so we recommend arriving 30 minutes early to park, find your seat, and settle in. Seating is limited.
Question
Is the venue indoor or outdoor?
Answer
Both! The ceremony is outdoor on grass, so please be cautious wearing heels. The cocktail hour and reception will all be indoor.
Question
What's the best gift to get you?
Answer
Your presence is truly the best gift! But if you'd like to contribute to our next chapter, we've registered at Zola and can be found under Registry
Question
If we can’t make it, what do we do?
Answer
If you can’t make, we’re sorry we missed you. Please RSVP ‘no’ if you can’t make it. If you will be attending, please RSVP by 1/1/2026
Question
I have work & might be a little late, is that okay?
Answer
Of course! We understand having a wedding on a Friday poses a lot of concern because of traffic. We recommend to anyone coming to be there before 8pm as that is when dinner will stop being served.
