Elisa is the sunshine beam in every room! From the moment I saw her & her husband, Camilo, worshipping with the Spanish ministry on Sundays in 2019- I said to myself “if I ever date a brother in Christ, I’d want them to disciple (mentor) us.” And all these years later they’ve been able to do just that! I can’t imagine another couple discipling us in dating & engagement the way we needed as much as they have. I wanted to glean from a family where you saw their love for Christ in how they lived & loved each other, and the Caceres have shown Noble & I so much in how to do that. The light that Elisa is for God is so evident in how she treats her family, others & even the healthy view of herself! Elisa has played such a monumental role in Noble & I’s dating relationship & now season of engagement! Everyone needs a friend like Elisa in their lives -A

If you need a friend that’s going to ride out the toughest storms faithfully with you, look. no. further!! Amanda is THE official ride-or-die friend. Our friendship had a rocky start in 2019 when we set up a hang out together & I never followed up on it. Instead of ignoring me & pretending like it never happened, she let me know how she was feeling about me never meeting up with her. This shocked me as it was the first time a friend had really been honest with me about something like this. Since then, this is indicative of her nature & I love it! She’s not afraid to be real, raw & uncut with her friends & that’s something that deep down every person needs. Amanda is a real one & there was no way that I was walking down the aisle without her being by my side <3 -A

One of my ride-or-die’s in the faith, one of my battle buddy’s in the rockiest season ever (2020). Coralie is just one of those friends who gets it!! You can tell her the most outlandish thoughts in your head & she will be able to meet you with grace, apply truth & spread laughter along the way. Studying the Bible with this woman has been life changing for me- I’ve ended up learning so many more things from her than I could ever imagine. Loyalty, consistency, discipline, light-heartedness with a hint of sass to tie everything together. Coralie, I can’t wait to grow in our friendship for years to come!! Let’s still get matching rocking chairs when we’re old lol -A

Casan & I’s friendship also goes way back to my freshmen year at FIU. From studying the Bible with me to discipling me in my first few years as a disciple- I’ve been able to learn so much from our friendship. Our friendship has had its ups & downs as any friendship does, & I’m thankful that our friendship can be refined with each passing year. I’m so excited to be entering this season of marriage with an OG friend in the faith & I pray that we can continue to grow in our love for one another & that our families can grow closer too. #Orlando2027?! lol -A

Alissa Kissa was one of the women who studied the Bible with me in 2018. I’ll never forget the first time she called me out on my lack of repentance in my life. It was such a turning point back then- I honestly looked at her like ‘wow you have the audacity’ .. the “unmitigated gall” as Jim Carrey’s Grinch would say. But honestly that unmitigated gall in calling me out has changed my life. Seeking true repentance in my discipleship has led me to so many new things in my relationship with God, including marrying such an awesome follower in Christ, that I might never have experienced had I not answered the call to grow deeper in my faith. From studying the Bible with me, to visiting my family in Jax, to being a friend to me til this day. I’m grateful that God used her to play such a pivotal role in my life. Proverbs 27:6 -A

This one right here is a one in a million type of friend!! Prachi & I met through being roommates in the FIU Honors dorm. We lucked out by being the only 2 people staying in a 4 person dorm- one on each side of the dorm! It was giving penthouse lol! Throughout my time living alongside her I got to not only see what true work ethic for the Lord looks like but also how devoted she can be to her friends. I can’t imagine my life without having this rock of a friend by my side & that includes on my wedding day! (Look her name up on Google!! She’s the real deal lol). -A

Isabelle is the sunflower in every room she enters. She’s beautiful inside & out & her energy is so bright that it makes everyone feel different after spending time with her than before. Isabelle & I’s friendship grew after we studied the Bible with a family member of mine. I would have never guessed that our friendship would continue to blossom into a cross-country one. I’ve stayed at her home in Chicago & she’s been to mine in Miami several times. We are total opposites from each other in many ways & yet we’ve been able to continue our friendship for almost half a decade. Isabelle, your faith in God, your bright light & your constant friendship in some of my most troubling times are why I couldn’t imagine walking down the aisle without you by my side. Love you girly! -A
Bridesmaid
Meagan & I’s friendship had a very organic start. We would see each other at church events & briefly catch up- have a laugh or two & carry on to the next conversation. It wasn’t until the end of 2022 when I tagged along on a girls trip to visit her family in Kansas that I knew that I’d want to continue in a friendship with her, in whatever capacity, for years to come. Meagan is one of the most loyal friends that you will ever meet.. even if you’re not close friends with her- you feel important every time she talks to you. Slowly & steadily getting to know Meags more in 2023 has indirectly shown me so much about life, obeying God, loving others & consistency in things that you set your mind to do. I believe that every person needs a “Meagan” in their lives! -A
Bridesmaid
Nichana.. the Bahamian queen! From the study sessions/shenanigans that happened while in the FIU honors dorm to the countless number of vulnerable talks that we’ve had, my time at FIU would’ve looked very different without Chana’s presence. Being that we met in the “jit” days at FIU, we’ve been able to watch each other grow in our relationships with God as well as the maturity that adulting demands of us! Nichana is intentional, loving, gracious, a truth-seeker, creative & she’s a steady-feeler. Every friend group needs a Chana in their corner and I’m grateful to have her by my side on one of the most memorable days of my life. <3 (look her up on YouTube! She’s legit) -A
Best Man
This man right here has truly been the cornerstone of my journey since I moved to the U.S. in 2019—Connor Grimm, my best man and dearest friend. Connor didn't just welcome me with open arms; he guided me through my spiritual journey, baptizing me and sharing countless profound moments that have defined who I am today. So when he decided to move to Maine in 2021, there was no question about it—I was going to be there for him, just as he had been for me. That drive from Miami to Portland wasn't just a road trip; it was a testament to a friendship that distances can't diminish. Along those highways, from one coast to another, we shared A LOT of stories, dreams of the future, and the kind of laughter that makes long journeys short. Funny enough, it was during that road trip that I began formulating my ideas on how I was going to ask Alanna to be my girlfriend. Connor, you’ve been more than a friend; you've been a brother. Your faith, kindness, and unwavering support have meant the world to me. I’m extremely grateful not just for the moments we’ve shared but for the journey ahead, knowing you’ll be there as we both forge new paths. - N

I am honored to have by my side not just a best man, but a brother—Dante. From our first conversations over the twists and turns of the MCU back in 2019, to sharing our lives as roommates, Dante, you’ve been my constant in a world of variables. Living together for the past 4 years, we’ve not only built a friendship, we’ve crafted an unbreakable bond. When our first lease ended in 2022, and we found ourselves searching for a new home, we stumbled into what could only be described as the “TRUE GHETTO”. Yet, it was in those challenging moments, amid uncertainty and FAR-LESS-THAN-IDEAL circumstances, that our friendship turned into something far deeper. Together, we braved the odds, relying not just on each other but on God, discovering resilience and sides of ourselves we hadn’t known before. Dante, your loyalty, honesty, and trustworthiness are rare treasures in this world. I truly don’t know how many people out there can match the depth of your character. You’ve stood by me through thick and thin, and for that, I am profoundly grateful. Here’s to all the adventures we’ve had and to many more to come! - N

My brother, my lifelong friend —Divine. Today, I can honestly say I am who I am because of you. From the very beginning, you've been more than just a brother; you've been an inspiration, a motivator, and the truest friend I could ever wish for. Your enthusiasm for life is contagious. You’re not just my hype man; you’re the heart and soul of every room you enter. Your style is unmatched, Mummy would make the joke that “money fits you” and that is not a lie because of how you outshine us all with your sense of fashion and sheer charisma! Growing up with you, sharing countless memories and a bond that no one else could ever rival, has been one of my greatest blessings. You embody the spirit of what it means to know what you want and chase after it with all your heart. Divine, you make me strive to be the best version of myself every single day. I am so grateful to have you by my side, not just today but for all the adventures yet to come. Here’s to more laughter, more dreams, and more unmatched swag as we continue this journey together. You are truly the best little brother anyone could ever ask for. - N

Ladies and gentlemen, if you ever wondered what it's like to experience fireworks in a bottle, look no further than this man right here — Norris Rochester aka NRICHED. Norris truly lives up to his name, “enriching” {prepare yourselves for this running pun} the lives of everyone he touches with his boundless energy and genuine soul. Our story began in 2019 over a shared love for 'The Lion King,' sparking not just a conversation, but a lifelong friendship. Norris, you have been a best friend, a mentor, and an endless source of inspiration, Norris is also my barber, so if you wonder how I do it, this man is the reason! Life with you is anything but boring; your presence turns the mundane into magic and the simple into spectacular. We've navigated through MANY deep conversations, the randomness of life, and yes, even through the chaos of life, I can always count on Norris to still be 100% himself. When 2022 challenged me like never before, there you were, not just as a friend but as a lifeline, pulling me out of the depths with your unwavering support and encouragement. Norris, I can't thank you enough for being the phenomenal person you are. Your loyalty, your energy, and your heart — I couldn’t have asked for a better friend. Here’s to many more years of “enriching” each other's lives, arguing over wild concepts and ideas, and making every moment count! - N

Ladies and gentlemen, let’s talk about Mr. Moril aka Big Ando aka PT aka ZB aka whatever 2 consonants he uses these days — Andy. This man right here is always the life of the party, no matter the label. Andy, you possess an energy that’s simply magnetic, the kind that lights up any room and lifts the spirits of everyone around. From the moment we became roommates, you've been more than just a friend; you've been a catalyst for growth, challenging me in ways I didn’t even realize I needed. Your encouragement has been a cornerstone in my life, always pushing me to seize the day and find joy in every moment. Andy, your eagerness to learn and let God shape your path is nothing short of inspiring. Watching you grow and adapt, always with a readiness to serve and bring a smile to someone’s face, has taught me the true essence of resilience and generosity. With Andy I have learnt the true meaning of “Where there is a will, there is a way.” - Andy is a go getter! Thank you for being unapologetically you—authentic, inspiring, and a true brother. Here’s to a lifetime of friendship, learning, and laughter. Keep shining, Andy! - N

The little brother I never I had — Zino, you embody kindness, love, gentleness, and a caring spirit that truly sets you apart. Your heart is as big as your smile, and your hospitality knows no bounds. In 2022, during a time when I found myself without a place to stay, Zino didn't just offer help; he gave me his entire room!! And when I got into a car accident and had no car, this brother was willing to offer me his car!!. That act of generosity is just one of the many ways you've shown what it means to live a life of service and compassion, and that truly inspires me. You strive every day to emulate the love and grace of our Lord Jesus, and it's evident in everything you do. Zino, I am immensely blessed to know you and to call you my brother. My hope is that our friendship and brotherhood will only continue to deepen in the years to come. Thank you for being you—thank you for your big heart and unending kindness, they don’t breed em like you anymore bro. Let’s look forward to many more years of growing together, sharing life’s journeys, and strengthening the bond that makes us family. - N

I really thought I knew a lot until I met this man — Erik, you radiate big brother energy and truly embody that role for me. I am a really competitive person and really hard to beat too, but this brother right here is one of the only people I know will give me a challenge and I respect that! Every day, I find myself grateful for the wisdom you share and the exemplary life you lead, especially in how you navigate your own marriage. Your guidance during my engagement has been invaluable. Watching you manage the responsibilities, hardships, and joys of marriage has provided me with a roadmap for my own journey. Your mentorship is not just helpful; it's transformative and has offered me insights that I know will shape the foundation of my future with Alanna. Erik, thank you for being such a powerful presence in my life. I am eager to continue learning from you and am looking forward to having you by my side as I take these next steps. Your advice and support mean the world to me, and I can't wait to see how our friendship and brotherhood evolve as we both grow in our respective paths. - N

STORY BOY WHAT?!! STORY BOY IN THE BUILDING!!! IFYKYK! In just a year of knowing this brother, I've come to realize how fortunate I am to have crossed paths with such a remarkable individual — BJ. When Meagan (his girlfriend) first told me about him, mentioning he was a rapper, I knew instantly there was something special about him. And indeed, living with BJ has only deepened that first impression. BJ, you embody humility and vulnerability in ways that are rare and inspiring. Your actions, whether in your art or in your everyday life, speak volumes of your character. I see a man who not only understands but lives the essence of sacrifice. Every Sunday, as you move heavy equipment to ensure our worship experience is seamless, you do so without a hint of complaint, reflecting the heart of a true servant and leader and I have no doubt that you will be an incredible leader in whatever you do. Your dedication and selflessness in all aspects of life are not just admirable; they are traits that motivate me to develop my own character further. And yes, for those wondering, I most definitely have a very prominent feature on one of BJ's tracks (Prosper)—albeit in the role of adlib lol! BJ, I’m truly grateful for your friendship and for the profound influence you have on my journey to becoming a man of true character. I look forward to a lifelong brotherhood - N

Salute! For Airman Hepburn, I had to throw that in there - CJ I am truly honored to have you not just as a groomsman, but as a brother. We first met in 2022, but it was in 2023 when our friendship really took off. I stayed at his apartment for a while during a very tragic yet needed transition before we moved in together, and in that little amount of time, we have forged a bond that’s deeper than I ever could have ever imagined. CJ, we’ve shared countless laughs, a few tears, and some of the most unforgettable memories that I will forever cherish!. CJ and I have these moments when we just completely LOCK IN (IYKYK) and during those times we’ve had some of the deepest conversations I’ve ever had. Your maturity constantly amazes me, your loyalty, kindness, and unwavering support mean the world to me. You’ve stood by me through a lot and you truly are someone that I can confide in, for that, I’m profoundly grateful. Here’s to all the adventures we’ve had and to many more to come! - N

Time to talk about a man who is truly one in a million—Javier. It’s rare to meet someone who immediately stands out not just for their intellect but also for their character, and Javier is that rarity. Among the many brilliant minds I've encountered throughout my biomedical engineering career, Javier shines the brightest. What sets Javier apart isn’t just because he’s smart or his tireless work ethic, though he excels in both. It’s his genuine approach to our friendship. Throughout my career in college I have had many connections and friendships that were viewed as just alliances but Javier has shown steadfast loyalty and consistency. Our friendship was built on a foundation of mutual respect and a shared ambition to grow and excel in our field. Over the years, Javier and I have developed a bond that transcends the usual ties of colleagues or even friends—it is a true brotherhood. His support and camaraderie during our countless hours of study, research, and professional growth have been invaluable. Javier, your presence in my life has been a constant source of strength and inspiration. To our everlasting brotherhood, to continuous learning, and to tackling whatever challenges the future holds! - N

A true pillar in my life and Alanna and I’s journey together - thank you Camilo. As I prepare myself to marry the love of my life, I am deeply grateful for your unwavering guidance and mentorship in helping me make this choice. From the early days of our dating, through to our engagement, your wisdom has been a beacon for Alanna and I, helping us navigate our path with grace and intention. Your character is one of quiet strength—always slow to speak, yet when you do, your words are rich with insight and thoughtfulness. You’ve shown me not just how to be a better partner to Alanna, but a better man in all aspects of life. Watching you lead your family with such dedication and love has truly inspired me. It’s given me a vision of what it means to lead a family not just with authority, but with humility, respect, and care. Camilo, thank you for pouring into our lives, for being a model of integrity and for treating every moment as an opportunity to embody God’s love. Your impact on us is immeasurable, and it's a privilege to call you not only a groomsman but a lifelong mentor and friend. - N
