Wedding Party
Yesenia
Bridesmaid
Yessi, the other half of the bride, the sister from another mister, bestie since kindergarten. Through 20+ years Yessi has been at Odessa's side offering nothing but love, happiness, and tons of laughs. Although they hardly get to see each other, they always pick up right where they left off. When they do get to meet up, you can guarantee it will be a 3 hour lunch with another hour in the parking lot secretly not wanting to leave each other's sides again.
Rocky
Groomsman
Rocky and Carlos met sophomore year, and while much has changed, there are many things that haven't. One of those being his confidence in gambling even though he has no idea how to. Rocky loves to remind everyone he's basically a doctor, but lets be clear hes ALMOST a dentist. But in all seriousness, Carlos will never forget those backyard conversations where the laughs got louder and louder.
Synora & Maxi
Bridesmaid
The little sisters with personalities from two ends of the spectrum. Even though they always keep Odessa on her toes, she loves them dearly and wouldn't trade them for the world. These girls (along with their little brother) have taught Odessa the art of patience, self-reflection, and of course how to let go and have fun. These girls truly help Odessa feel like she's a little girl again running around grandma's house with them.
Josh
Groomsman
Carlos and Josh also met in their sophomore year of high school, and through the years Carlos has learned of Josh's many talents. Those being risk taking, making questionable bets, and somehow always getting a drink in his hand ... or someone else's. If there's one thing you can count on, it's that Josh will always be having a great time.
Alyssa
Bridesmaid
Odessa's sorority "little" sister, turned bestie. Alyssa is only one call away for any minor inconvenience and will 100% back Odessa... even if she might be wrong. Through all the ups and downs they've been constants in each other's lives since they met, even when they can only meet up once a year for Chopstix.
Anthony
Groomsman
Ever since high school, Anthony has been living the same routine: video games, two cans of Coca Cola, and driving in complete silence like he's about to take off on a runway. I guess future pilot habits start early. Honestly, it tracks. Anthony has been a loyal friend to Carlos and is someone Carlos can always count on.
Sandy
Bridesmaid
Who said you can't have a new bestie in your 20s?! Odessa and Sandy met in their PTA program and held each other down through every hour of every day for 2 years. Through the stress and laughs these two became anxiously attached and know they can reach out to each other for anything! Cheers to making new friends that will definitely last a life time.
Nick
Groomsman
Nick and Carlos met in high school, and somehow Nick has been acting like he's 45 years old since then. He takes every thing a little too seriously - unless he's losing in a game, then all responsibilty goes out the window. Besides those games, Nick is one of the most dependable and responsible persons in Carlos' life and he is lucky to have Nick as a part of this day.
Jazmin
Bridesmaid
If you ask Jaz what she thought of Odessa back in 2012, she would probably say "I thought she was going to be mean." Well look at them now. Over a decade later and they're still going strong, cheering each other on through every milestone they have and will achieve.
Kevin
Groomsman
Carlos and Kevin met while joining a fraternity and it didn't take long to realize two things about Kev; he loves to talk and he's always right. One of Carlos' favorite memories with Kevin is putting him on his back during initiation, which is probably the only time Kev has admitted defeat. All jokes aside, Kevin is a great friend and one that Carlos is proud to have by his side.
