Wedding Party
Azerah Flores
Maid of Honor
Azerah, where do I even begin? Meeting you in sophomore year of high school feels like a lifetime ago. You were the new girl, sitting in our history class, and little did I know, you'd become one of the most important people in my life. Seeing how far you've come since then fills me with so much pride. You've blossomed into an incredible woman, and welcoming your son into the world has been such a beautiful thing to witness. I am beyond honored to call you my best friend and to have you standing by my side as my maid of honor. God truly knew what he was doing when he brought us together. I am eternally grateful for you, Azerah. ❤️

Douglas Coats
Grandfather of the Bride/Officiant
Papa, January 18, 2006, the day I was born, wasn't just the start of my life, but the day I received the most precious gift imaginable: you. You're not just a grandpa; you're the most incredible Papa a girl could ever dream of. From those first hours when you cradled me, pretending I was a Green Bay Packers football, to the countless times you held my hand as I learned to ride a bike, you've always been my guiding light. And even now, as I stand on the edge of a new chapter, you're still there, supporting me by co-signing for my first car. No matter what, no matter where, you have been my rock, my constant, my unwavering source of love and support. You've taught me strength, kindness, and the importance of family. Every day, I thank God for blessing me with you as my Papa and as the most amazing father figure a girl could ask for. My heart overflows with love and gratitude for you. I love you more than words can ever express, Papa. You are my everything.

Maw, January 18, 2006, wasn't just the day I was born, but the day I received one of the most precious gifts imaginable: you. For those of you who know how close we are, you won't be surprised to learn that you're not just a grandma; you're the most incredible Grandma a girl could ever dream of, a mother figure even. Despite the people that tried to keep us apart for years, you never gave up on me, and your unwavering love finally brought us together. And even now, as I stand on the edge of a new chapter, you're still there, supporting me. No matter what, no matter where, you have been my rock, my constant, my unwavering source of love and support. You've taught me strength, kindness, and the importance of family. Though you may not be my mother, you have wholeheartedly embraced that role, filling my life with warmth, guidance, and endless affection. Every day, I thank God for blessing me with you as my Grandma. My heart overflows with love and gratitude for you. I love you more than words can ever express, Maw. You are my everything.
Makenly Carranza
Flower Girl
Makenly, when I started working at the preschool in December, I didn't know I was about to meet one of the most special little girls ever. Since then, I feel as though your sister, Jasmine, and I have become kinda close, and I feel like I've gained a little sister in you, too. You are the most sassy yet precious little girl I think I’ve ever met. I am so grateful to have you as part of my wedding day. Seeing your bright smile and your adorable little self walk down that aisle as my flower girl will fill my heart with so much joy. You're not just a flower girl, Makenly; you're a little ray of sunshine in my life, and I'm so lucky to have you. You will be the most precious and beautiful flower girl, and I can't wait to share this special day with you. I love you so much!
Edonis (Mikey) Alvasoto
Groom
Where do I even begin with you? It's funny to think it all started with a pair of shoes in 2018, me teasing you, never imagining that moment would lead me to my soulmate. By June of 2019, our hearts were intertwined, and our lives became a beautiful series of endless dates, movie nights, and shared laughter. Looking back, there were times I took your gentle soul for granted, moments I deeply regret. You came into my life and showed me what true love and respect really mean. You helped me see my own worth, something I struggled with for so long. Your patience, kindness, and unwavering love have been my constant. Six years of loving you feels like a lifetime and yet just the beginning. I can't wait to become Mrs. Alvasoto, to spend forever cherishing the love we've built, a love that started with a simple pair of shoes but has grown into everything I've ever dreamed of.
