Sariah brings joy and tons of laughter to the lives of everyone she meets, she has completed our lives in many ways and we are forever grateful that she is our little girl. She means the world to us and we can't wait to continue on this journey of life together and the memories we have yet to make. We Love You Chapi!
Ricardo Angel
Ring Bearer
Vanessa's Little Protector. The first time Ricardo Angel saw Jose is the reason why we are here today. Ricardo Angel looked at Jose and said "Who are you?" Jose looked confused because Ricardo Angel being as tiny as he was said it like a grown man with ATTITUDE. lol I answered saying "This is my boyfriend". He looks at Jose up and down again and says "YOU BETTER MARRY HER" & storms off. Later that night Ricardo Angel saw that Jose had lights and sirens on his car and he let Ricardo Angel play with them to score some points. Now Jose and Ricardo Angel are Best Friends. lol
Jessica Goris
Maid of Honor
Best Friends since '96. Sister's by choice. Maid of Honor. So much to say about this girl but to keep it short & sweet I'll just say this thank you for being the person you are in my life. For being down to worship God together, to endless shopping sprees, trips, and just doing life together. Thank you for always being there for Sariah & I.
Travis Desouza
Best Man
The life of the party. The Best Man. Travis has been my best friend for the last 8 years. He is a man that I call my brother from another mother. Travis has always been the most positive and supportive friend, and I know he will always have my back. The day that Travis met Vanessa the first time was by accident and it was a complete joke, but I'll let him tell you the story. However, from that day on he has been a true support of our relationship and I knew I needed him by my side as my Best Man!
Janet Astudillo
Bridesmaid
Sister in law by luck (thanks Macho for picking a good one) to Sister's by choice. Janet has been a part of this journey from the very beginning from buffer days to now. She is always down for an adventure even if that means planning a whole event in our home with less than 24 hours with little sleep, she does it with a smile on her face making sure it gets executed perfectly. She has been an extreme support during this whole planning process and I could not be more grateful for her. Thank you for always being there, for lending an ear, and for helping me plan the wedding of my dreams. Love you!
Carlos "Macho" Garcia
Groomsman
Vanessa's Little Big Brother. Jose's Boy. Macho and Jose clicked from day one so much so that sometimes Vanessa feels like the outsider lol. From being a dinner buffer for the first time Macho introduced Janet to the family as his girlfriend to every moment in between. The bond that these two have formed has definitely made this relationship so much easier to say yes too. According to Macho "Jose is a gift from above because he keeps Vanessa away from him." (insert eyeroll emoji here).
Arelys Nolasco
Bridesmaid
Mi Media Naranja! We have been in each others lives for over 20 years but only have pictures to prove our friendship starting last year. We understand each other in ways that even we cannot explain. Thank you for my two beautiful nieces that bring us so much joy, heartache, and laughs. Thank you for always being nothing but a call or text away with words of wisdom, laughs, or the tatequieto that I need.
Joseph Leiva
Groomsman
Joseph a man that went from a work partner, to a friend, to someone that I can call family. Joe has been one of those people who you can count on him no matter what. From making the party fun by placing crazy bets like jumping in the pool fully dressed sneakers & all to giving you advise when is needed. Although he likes to make my life a pain and complicated I always find a way to get him back lol.
Magdauri Cotto
Bridesmaid
Maggie, one of Vanessa's role models. Her love for God, Her children, Her Husband, and Family is what really brought Vanessa & Maggie together. Our girls considering themselves triplets and Ricardo Angel being Vanessa's protecter speaks volumes as to the love we all share. With Maggies love, early guidance, and unconditional support in our Relationship I knew I couldn't say "I do" without her by my side.
Ricardo Cotto
Groomsman
From day one Ricky accepted me into the family and I am very grateful for that. We bonded over his sons love for police officers, lots of laughs and overall his love for family. He is always willing to share words of wisdom on being a husband, father, and overall friend. He has shown Vanessa & I lots of love and support since the beginning of our relationship and I knew I wanted him by my side as we say " I do" and embark on this new journey together.
Karla Roman
Bridesmaid
She is Jose's sister but she is known as my Mosquito & I her ET. From the very beginning of my friendship with Jose, Karla & I clicked and developed an amazing relationship. From weekly checkins, too regular convos about life, or just planning to spend family time together. It was a very easy and unexpected. Although Karla decided to abandon us (JKJK) & move to another state and we don't get to see each other as often any time we do get together is time well spent.
Geovanny Valdez
Groomsman
Jose's "Brother". Partner in Crime. Mr. Relambia Himself.
Melinda Mori
Matron of Honor
La Madrina. She is like a Second Mom. She's a Co-Worker. She is Family. Melinda has been in my life for over 25 years. She gave Macho's best friend life and we've been in each others lives ever since. From planning birthday's to weddings and everything in between Melinda has always been there to lend a helping hand, a shoulder to cry on, a tray of Penne al la Vodka and/or anything else needed. Her unconditional love and support in my life is the very reason why she will be standing by my side when we say "I Do".
Mariano Muñoz
Padrino
Mariano is been to me the wise man, always have words of advice and wisdom not only in my relationship with Vanessa, but in my life in general.
