Nayeli & Gael
Bridal Party
Allyson Olguin-Martinez
Maid of Honor
I met Allyson when were both UTRGV RAs. Although we couldn't be more different, apparently sticking two English majors in an apartment for two semesters can work out for the best. Allyson quickly became my partner in crime, the Grace to my Frankie, and truly one of my biggest blessings. I am so grateful she agreed to go through this crazy and stressful ride with me!
Andy Martinez
Best Man
The main man and legend himself, Andy and I share a dark humor unlike any other (which often gets us in trouble with the girls). A more trusted and honest friend doesn't exist. We are grateful to truly have the best man with us by our side.
Addie Ramirez
Bridesmaid
I say this every time I talk about Addie, but when we were 11 we were not as friendly upon first meeting. After a full year of being her friend, my mom made sure I was aware that she could tell that a friend like Addie was a friend that I needed to keep for life. I'm so grateful that despite any distance, she's always someone I can count on!
Andre Romero
Groomsman
Andre is my second older brother, and even though we used to butt heads as kids, I'm so excited to have him help me navigate through this crazy time. I am happy and proud to have him stand my by side for our special day.
Wynona Garza
Bridesmaid
Wynona and I met my senior semester at PI high school, and one semester was all we needed to become the greatest of friends. Throughout college and "adult life" we've managed to stick through it when it counts the most and I'm grateful to have her by my side.
Fernando Romero
Groomsman
Fernando is my oldest brother. Although quiet, his actions always speak loudly of the character he has. Through him I've learned the importance of family. Grateful to have him standing by my side during this special chapter.
Jebzabel Amaro
Bridesmaid
During my senior year, I learned that Jebzabel and Wynona come as a package deal, and I wouldn't have it any other way! Jebzabel is genuinely the glue that keeps our friendship together, and I'm so happy our bond has remained as strong as it has over the years! So grateful to have her by my side on my special day!
Rene Guerrero
Groomsman
Rene is my cousin who I've always seen as another brother. Almost all my important memories involve Rene, and I'm glad that he's going to be part of this amazing one too!
Memo Tamez
Bridesman
Memo is my brother from another mother, and I could not even think of having my special day without one of my closest friends there to support me. We met as freshman, and he and his family became such a loving support system for me as a teenager and have continued to do so as an adult. I am so lucky to have this dude as my bridesman!
David Calderon
Groomsman
I met David through Nona, but the guy has been a true bro from the get go. Every time we're together we end up in some kind of trouble with the girls, but it's way too fun and memorable to avoid it. With David by our side, we know our special day is going to be the best!
Sandra Tamez
Bridesmaid
Sandra is the amazing wife of one of my dearest and oldest friends, and I'm so lucky we became fast friends too! She's one of the sweetest and most genuine person I've met, and I'm so happy she's going to be part of this adventure!
Erik Amaro
Groomsman
I haven't known Erik for that long, but hanging out with him and David is always a great time! The guy knows how to really have fun and always keeps us laughing. Excited to have him by our side!
Karen Tamez
Bridesmaid
Karen is Memo's little sister and my soul sister. We had a blast growing up and making fun of Memo together, and now I'm so happy she's going to be part of my special day. The Tamez family has such a big part of my heart, and I'm so happy they're going to be present during my special day.
Caleb Neasman
Groomsman
Caleb and I (Nayeli) hated each other in middle school. Luckily, we had the same horrible teacher, and we ended up uniting as haters against her so much so we became inseparable. Caleb quickly became part of the family, simply walking into our home like he owned it. Gael and I are so incredibly lucky to have had him rooting for us since day one.
Eunice Balderas
Bridesmaid
Eunice is the absolute best! She's such a beautiful soul, and I'm so happy to have her amazing bubble of joy to be part of our special day!
Mario Garcia Jr.
Brother of the Bride
I am so honored to have my little (but big) brother walk me down the aisle and give me away. Mario has been such a source of comfort, safety, and love unlike any other. We've had each other's back from day one (despite our many fights as teenagers), and I can't think of anyone better to walk me into my new stage of life.
Rita Gracia
Mother of the Bride
I am who I am because of the woman who raised me, my mom. She showed me some tough lessons at an early age, but never have I been accepted and supported despite any decision I have made like I am by my mother. I am honored to share a dance with her on my special night to commemorate just how much I adore and appreciate her.
Martha Romero
Mother of the Groom
Martha Romero is my beautiful mother. I can't express how happy I am to have her with us on the most important chapter of my life.
Rubenia Liz Gonazalez
Officiant
It only made sense to have the person who introduced and practically pushed us together to be the person who marries us. I am so grateful that Liz will marry us before God and all of our closest friends and family.
