We are blessed to have Uncle Jorge join us together spiritually and legally on this day. We couldn’t imagine anyone more perfect for the occasion!
Maid of Honor
What starting out as an enemy situation in 2010 in our biomedical class in high school turned into the most amazing friendship I am lucky to have. Over the past 10 years we have been able to grow our friendship, fight, cry, deal with all the boys, and be there in support for each other as we found the love of our lives through it all. She is my bad influence when I need one and my sanity when I'm crazy. After my first date with Marc, I was on the phone with Lindsay and I told her "Mark my words. Im going to marry this man." She thought I was crazy, yet here we are. She stood by me lol. She has been there by my side through everything in the last 10 Years, I can't imagine going down the aisle to meet Marc without her on my other side. Thank you Lindsay for being one of my maids of honor ❤️
Best Man
As Carlos' older brother, I have known Carlos his entire life. We have been through so much together growing up, even though we have a few years in between us we have always been able to connect in a way that only we can understand. Carlos and I have had countless memories together such as going to wrestling matches and going on family vacations. I am so excited to have Carlos stand with me as my Best Man as we welcome Danielle into the family.
Maid of Honor
In 2013 Johanna (or as we call her Aunt JoJo), came to Orlando, Fl as a foreign exchange student and was in need of a home to stay. Lucky for her and us, we found each other and she became my sister from Germany. After a full year living together, fighting like true sisters, 7 years of knowing each other and growing our friendship, countless hours on the phone, and Skype. She is one of the few people I would travel the country on road with (we made it through about 4 states before coming home lol), share everything with/let her steal it and not be mad and love unconditionally. Its only fitting for me to have my “sister” as one of my Maids of honor. Although Covid has stopped her from being able to attend she will be watching from afar and she will be in our hearts on that day.We love you❤️
Best Man
I met Taylor when I was three years old playing on the same soccer team "The Hot Tamales" and we have been life long friends ever since. In college our friendship truly flourished and we became more like brothers. We would go on many trips together, mostly to Daytona Beach and Tallahassee trips I will never forget (some I may). Taylor has truly been there for me whenever I have needed him, and I am proud to call him not only my best friend but also my Best Man.
Bridesmaid
As one of Marcs sister, Marc wanted to be gentle breaking the news of us dating.. we kept things very quiet and didn't tell many people that we were together wondering how everyone would react knowing his sisters were very strict on the right person for their brothers and marc was not kidding! Cristina drilled me left and right over every detail of my past, current life, and intensions. It was a huge relief when she approved. Lol She is someone who is strong willed, goal oriented, beautiful inside and out, and loyal. She has been supportive of us and a great Titi Cristina, giving Dawson his favorite dog cousin Ellie! I am so lucky I was "approved" that day, but even happier Im able to gain her as a sister. Thank you for your love and support, were so happy you’ll be standing with us 💗
Groomsman
I met Gio when I joined his Disney softball team over 3 years ago now. Gio and I became good friends over the season realizing we had many similar interest such as poker and sports (Even if he is a Gator and a Yankee). We started going to poker tournaments and ball games and became great friends. We enjoy our Disney days going to Disney with Danielle and Dawson, and are all so happy to have Gio with us on our special day.
Bridesmaid
I am blessed to gain Tori as my future sister-in-law. We were able to play soccer together when we were younger due to us being close in age, however other than the team pictures kept in an album of memories I didn't get to know Tori very well. Being with Marc and getting to know the family has been something I am forever grateful for. She is sweet, beautiful, kind, humble, strong willed and someone there for you 100%. She is not afraid to stand up to anyone and defend you when needed and will always remain by your side. She has been a huge help in the wedding process and we are really fortunate to have such great support system. Plus Dawson loves his Titi Tori so much! I am honored to have her stand by Dawson and I as we become official DeArrigoitia’s and I gain a sister. Thank you Tori❤️
Groomsman
I met Joe in college, we were always around each other because of our friend group. Joe and I became great friends through the years of golfing, going on the lake, and countless parties together. Joe was my first roommate when I purchased my house and we have had countless good times since then. Joe was the first of my friends to meet Danielle and Dawson and has been great with them ever since. Joe's friendship and encouragement is everything I could ask for in a groomsman.
Bridesmaid
Karla Motley is the sweetest human and most talented artist you could ever meet! Knowing this woman for literally my entire life has been a complete honor. Living down the street from each other our entire lives, meeting each other halfway down the road at the little park or at Swann beach to hangout (also down the road), rooftop hangouts, and completing almost every year of school together has been a friendship to cherish. From planning our weddings in 4th grade to today at 25, I am so happy to have one of my best friends continue to stand by me for our wedding. These months have not been easy flying from Nashville and Orlando over and over again, without fail just for us. and I appreciate it so much! We love you tremendously Aunt Karla and are thrilled you're with us to say "I DO"! 💗
Groomsman
Luis and I met in high school over 12 years ago. We would hang out almost everyday and loved to fight over who was better at football FSU or Michigan (The answer was always FSU), however we could always agree that they are both better than the Gators (Sorry Dina)! We have had great times together and in college took plenty of trips together. Now it's great to have a our friendship from before not only become what it is today, but also bond over our growing relationships when we became father figures to our girlfriends children. And now he will be part of another big moment in my life. Danielle and I are so excited to have Luis as groomsman on our special day.
Bridesmaid
Ive had the pleasure of knowing Lyssa since first grade at Pine Castle Christian Academy, becoming friends with this silly and sweet soul has been a treasure. Thanks to Karla the three of us stayed in touch even after separating to different high school and colleges. Now I have the pleasure of having Lyssa live down the street where Karla once was, dropping in to family dinners, random hangouts, walks, help with Dawson, etc we've been able to become even closer and Dawson adores her fun and bubbly personality. We love having Lyssa in our lives and are so glad to have her stand by Marc and I as we get married. 💗 Ps. Fun fact: Lyssa will actually be the second Ritchhart to be a bridesmaid in a DeArrigoitia wedding, as her mother was a bridesmaid in Marc's parents wedding almost 35 years ago!
Groomsman
Brandon and I met about 8 years ago while working together at Disney's Yacht and Beach Club. We were always picking up overtime together because we realized that when we work together, we were never really working. We always have great times going to Kitty O' Sheas and Ale House after work. Brandon and I still stayed in touch after he left the resort and even when he moved to Ohio and Las Vegas. He was a great host to Danielle and I when we visited him in Vegas last summer, having so much fun we must have convinced him to follow us home because not even 5 months later he had moved in with me to my home and became another roommate. Now that we have Brandon around every day and even closer, I could not imagine having a wedding without our eccentric, fun, "Uncle Brandon" being a groomsman.
Bridesmaid
Jessica and I are so alike its crazy! We met in 2010, during 10th grade and she was the only other human just as organized and plan oriented like myself 😂 Jessica is the most selfless person, the friend who drops everything to help you and will never ask for anything in return. She once got off at 8pm and raced over to the store to search for the perfect frame before they closed at 9pm to then drive all the way to my babysitting job to help me replace the picture frame Dawson had broken by mistake. She didn't plan to do it that night, she certainly didn't have too, but she did. She makes the best friend you could ever imagine yourself to have and need, especially during the stress of a wedding! I am so thankful to have Jessica in my life and as a bridesmaid standing by us💗
Groomsman
Matt and I met while working at Disney's Yacht and Beach Club close to 9 years ago. He was a part of the same work family as Brandon and I. Matt and I always have a good time together, whether we are dominating on the softball field together, eating too many wings at Kitty O' Shaes, or shanking balls on the golf course. Matt has become one of my best friends and we are so glad Matt is standing with us on our wedding day.
Bridesmaid
Knowing someone from birth thanks to your mother's amazing friendship together is something we were given, but have never taken for granite! I treasure having my friendship with Alex. To know someone for 25 years and be friends during it all (even middle school), standing by her side to marry her husband- one of the best guys I know, together as we both became mothers to some of the most handsome boys on this planet, and now I am honored to have her stand by my side to marry the love of my life. Words can not describe my friendship with Alex and our fun/crazy times over the years like being struck by lightening.. (for another time). Dawson, Marc and I are so lucky to have such an amazing person like Aunt Alex and your boys in our life and we are so thankful you will stand by us on our day❤️
Groomsman
Nathan and I met in college while he lived in Jacksonville about 11 years ago, we instantly became great friends. Once he moved to Orlando we hung out all the time whether we were at the Harvey House or at the Yacht Pub, you were sure to have a good time if Nate was around. Nate and I have become great friends over the years. I was honored to stand with him as he married the woman of his dreams, Lindsey, back in January and have known them both for years. He is not only one of my best friends but an amazing guy and character. I am so proud to have a friend like Nate to stand with me as I take this next step with Danielle.
Bridesmaid
I have the honor of Danielle being a bridesmaid! She also happens to be Marc’s cousin making her soon to be my family as well and I couldn’t be happier ❤️ Danielle has the sweetest, kindest and most generous soul and I’m SO glad I’ve had these last few months to get to know her better and see her practically weekly! She’s a total angel and blessing to our lives. We love her dearly and are thrilled she said yes to standing next to us!
Groomsman
Bo & I met having beers at yacht club years back. He’s a great friend and I’m glad our small bar could bring us together so close where you’re now standing next to me on my wedding day. Bo is the guy we know we can call when something goes wrong with literally anything... fridge, floor, AC, car, roof, shower, home remodel, home foundation...seriously anything. He’s the best type of friend to have And we definitely call you a lot, (we keep the fridge stocked for that reason lol) but we appreciate our “Dr. Bo” and don’t know what we would do without you around! Thank you for standing by my side today on the biggest day of my life taking this step with Danielle and Dawson.
Bridesmaid
Sarah is my beautiful cousin and I am so honored to have her be walking with us 💗 Our moms attended UF together and became best friends inseparable and soon enough they had us back to back only 6 months apart :) This year was INSANE for Sarah! She graduated UCF, was suppose to do a summer job with music her love and passion but Covid got in the way last second, then she packed and moved to Illinois for her masters and teacher assistant position while working ! And on top of it all still managed to schedule coming to the wedding. I don’t know how she does it all?! She makes my head spin just talking about it. Lol we’re so glad you could come Sarah and even happier you are walking with us to stand by our side as we become husband & wife. We love you!
