Nathalie & Christopher
Wedding Party
Ashley
Maid of Honor
Lip gloss isn’t a girl’s best friend, but it can sure attract one! Ashley befriended Nathalie due to her super cool lipgloss and body sprays collection that would overpower the girl’s locker room in 6th grade, post PE class. Nathalie and Ashley thought the 20 spritz after class were edgy and cool. Oh! There was a LOT of learning to do!! As they continued to grow, Ashley developed a keen passion for Spanish, Nathalie’s primary language, and they would exchange notes written on index cards in between lunches (all in Spanish) dreaming of one day exploring Spanish speaking countries together. Today, the two have visited the first of the many countries they will explore together, and Ashley still enjoys borrowing Nathalie’s makeup, sometimes “accidentally” keeping lipsticks ;)
Lan
Bridesmaid
It was Lan’s 23rd birthday when she first met Nathalie. Although it was their 1st time meeting, Nat’s welcoming presence and outward affection towards all that she met made Lan feel as if she had known her for yrs. They danced their butts off that night, & little did they know, this was their 1st of many dances through life together. They went on to share many more birthdays & long nights talking about life, goals, & dreams. While Lan attended grad school in CA and VA, she always felt that no matter how many miles were between her & Nathalie, she always had a friend to lean on & someone to share achievements, failures, laughter, & tears with. People come into our lives in the most unexpected ways, & Lan is very blessed that God has brought her a lifelong friend to dance through life with.
Jovanna
Bridesmaid
Jovanna, CJ’s younger sister, first met Nathalie when she was just 11 years old. Little did that 11 year old girl know how much of an impact that Nathalie would have on her life. The ambition, selflessness, and love that Nathalie embodies is an inspiration that Jovanna has always tried to replicate. Whether it’s questions about life after college, advice, or obsessing over ~ aesthetics ~, Nathalie has always been there for Jovanna through thick and thin. It has been amazing having an older brother, but having an older sister has truly been a blessing. Jovanna has had the privilege of being a part of Nathalie’s life for more than a decade, and she cannot wait to make even more memories with her sister-in-law.
Bentley
Bridesmaid
Bentley is the youngest girl of the bunch! She is the little sister of CJ's and the newest youngest sister of Nathalie's. With her minor baking addiction, Bentley can always count on catching Nathalie sneak a piece of a baked good or sneaking some of the leftover cake or brownie batter.
Paul
Best Man
Paul and CJ's friendship would make you think they've known each other since they were kids, even though they first met in college. A True Gentleman, Paul has been there to see CJ at his highest and lowest, always supporting him make the best of life and being there when he needs a little push in the right direction. Whether they're going out and exploring a new restaurant, geeking out over a new game they've been looking forward to, or just kicking back and enjoying each other's company, you can understand why CJ made Paul his Best Man.
Alex
Groomsman
CJ's younger brother, Alex! At first glance, he may seem quiet and shy, but the reality is he's just as much of a goofball as CJ. He always has the best music to vibe to, tends to show off his luscious hair unconsciously, and presents himself as one of the coolest people you'll meet.
Diego
Groomsman
The first of the Cuestas family that CJ got to know! They first met when they became teammates for a local soccer team. CJ has always appreciated Diego's drive and ambition to succeed ever since. Diego will always deny it, but he knows that CJ was definitely a better soccer play than he was.
Matias
Groomsman
Full of positive energy and a bubbly personality, Matias can turn himself into the life of the party with his presence alone. He has this amazing ability to sense the chi of any living being within a mile radius by using a form of water-breathing that only a select few are able to use. The youngest of the Cuestas siblings, Mati views CJ as a mentor when dealing with the daily struggles of college life.
