Wedding Party
Bianca Dominguez
Maid of Honor
Bianca is Rachael’s bestfriend and soul sister! They have been friends since elementary school and their friendship is so pure and genuine. Rachael knows she can always count on Bianca to be there through the good, the bad, and everything in between. The epitome of a bestfriend. There is no one else Rachael would rather have by her side as her Maid of Honor. Fun fact: Rachael and Bianca have traveled to 6 different countries together (Spain, Ireland, Scotland, England, Aruba, and Africa) and more to come!
Justin Berrios
Best Man
Christian's younger brother & Rachael's brother to be! Despite being 7 years apart, Justin and Chris are extremely close. Justin is loyal, trustworthy, and a built in best friend. He is the typical younger brother, aside from the fact that he is the tallest in the family (standing at 6'3). Justin has been accepting and supportive of Christian and Rachael's relationship since day 1. He already treats Rachael like a sister, which is why he makes the perfect Best Man. If you don't remember this picture on the wedding day, just look for the tallest person in the room!
Molly Ortiz
Bridesmaid
Rachael's first friend (literally born 25 days apart) but actually more like family! Molly is a living inspiration. The strongest person you may ever meet and the absolute best momma to her beautiful daughter Emeralis Blake, aka the flower girl. Molly and Rachael's friendship is the definition of opposites attract - completely different personalities that some how manage to balance each other out. True lifelong friends.
Joel Fernandez
Groomsman
Christian's bestfriend but actually more like a brother! Joel is charming, outgoing, and the funniest/goofiest person you may ever meet. Joel and Chris have been friends since diapers and share so much in common, especially their love for cars. Chris can always count on Joel to be by his side when he needs him most. Joel is the life of the party, you will have no problem spotting him in the crowd!
Chelsea Ansley
Bridesmaid
Rachael's cousin and built in friend! Chelsea and Rachael were born 6 weeks apart and have always been close. Growing up they would have sleep overs all the time and would stay up all night watching Big Brother and playing Clue (still Rachael's favorite TV show and board game). Now they are a little older and get to make even more memories by each other's side. They were engaged 6 months apart, are bridesmaids in each others weddings, and Rachael is the godmother to Chelsea's newly welcomed baby, Amelia Mae (aka Flower Girl #2)!
Jeffrey Berrios
Groomsman
Christian's cousin and partner in crime! Growing up Chris and Jeff were always getting into something mischievous together. Even though they are states away now , Jeff is still like a brother to Chris. Jeff is an undercover genius and can do anything he sets his mind to. Right now Jeff is becoming an expert in saltwater aquariums. Jeff is most likely to be at the bar during the wedding!
Allyson Ansley
Bridesmaid
Rachael's cousin by blood, friend by choice! Ally and Rachael were born a little over 2 months apart and grew up in the same town, going to the same schools, and in the same friend group. They have shared some of their most memorable moments together, especially through their college years (stories will not be mentioned)! Ally is the life of the party and always down for a good time. It definitely wouldn't be a bridal party if Ally wasn't a bridesmaid!
TJ O'Reilly
Groomsman
TJ is Christian's future brother in law aka Rachael's older brother. TJ is a tricky one to describe - he beats to his own drum and does not seek approval from the outside world. He keeps his circle small but is extremely loyal to those he loves. TJ is hard working, a sports fanatic, and always down for a good time. TJ will most likely be recording/snap chatting the wedding!
Alexandra Suszko
Bridesmaid
Rachael's friend since diapers! Allie and Rachael grew up with conjoining backyards and a gate between to run back and forth. They spent so much of their childhood together and have made so many memories. Despite Allie moving away in middle school they never lost contact, a true forever friend. Allie and Rachael both share the love of gardening and living an ecofriendly lifestyle. Allie has such an uplifting personality with a contagious laugh, you can't help but be happy when you are around her!
Deborah Berrios
Bridesmaid
Deb is Rachael's future sister in law (Christian's younger sister). She is a beauty queen with a personality bigger than her hair. She is in the entertainment industry, currently working at the world famous Apollo Theater. Oh.. and she also has a couple billboards to her name. Deb is intentional and unapologetically her. She is the most likely to be breaking it down on the dance floor!
Ivette Berrios
Jr Bridesmaid
Rachael's sister to be, aka Christian's 9 year old sister! Ivette is gentle, caring, and thoughtful. She is a natural nurturer and gives the best massages! She is a little shy, but loves to dance and sing, especially when she thinks no one is looking. Ivette says she wants to be a ballerina when she gets older. Fun Fact: Ivette and Rachael are the same shoe size, at least for now!
Adriana Berrios
Jr Bridesmaid
Adriana, aka Nana is Rachael's youngest sister to be (Christian's 8 year old sister)! She is outgoing, silly, and a little sassy. Adriana definitely does not mind being the center of attention. She is the perfect mix of a girly girl and a tom boy. She loves to play dress up in her princess dresses and superhero costumes, just as much as she loves to do her makeup and make slime. Adriana is likely to eat the most cake at the wedding!
Emeralis Ortiz
Flower Girl
Rachael's goddaughter, aka the girl who made Rachael a Gaga! She is the cutest, sassiest girl, with hair that is to die for. Emeralis is a little shy around people she doesn't know but when she is comfortable she is extremely talkative and silly! She is one of the funniest little humans you may ever meet and truly has a personality like no other. She loves to play outside and hang with her mama!
Mason Paiva
Ring Bearer
Christian's second cousin but more like a nephew. Mason is the smartest child you may ever meet and the sweetest big brother. When he grows up he will either find the cure for cancer or discover life on another planet, so get his autograph now! Mason is most likely to be solving math problems on the dance floor!
Amelia Cangelosi
Flower Girl
Amelia is Rachael's second goddaughter, born on September 7, 2022! She is such a happy baby that loves to eat, sleep, laugh, and watch Miss. Rachel (her favorite tv show right now). Hopefully Amelia will be seen walking down the aisle the day of the wedding!
Jacob Paiva
Ring Bearer
Jacob is Mason's younger brother. Jacob is 2 years old and continuing to learn and grow everyday! He currently enjoys climbing (out of his crib, into shelves, onto couches, etc.), and hanging out with his great grandfather, Belo.
Todd & Sheila O'Reilly
Parents of the Bride
Rachael's parents and Christian's future in laws! Todd and Sheila are the parents of TJ and Rachael. They love a good adventure and no matter the time of the year they are always on the go. They enjoy hiking, traveling, and hanging in the pool with friends! Todd and Sheila's marriage not only shows the importance of love but how hard work and planning leaves time for fun and adventure in a relationship!
Huberto & Maria Berrios
Parents of the Groom
Christian's parents and Rachael's future in laws! Huberto and Maria are the parents to 5 beautiful children, all represented in the bridal party (Christian, Deborah, Justin, Ivette, and Adriana). They are active members in their church, Agape House of Worship, where they both hold leadership roles. When they are not at church they are most likely spending time with their family! Huberto and Maria's marriage exemplifies the importance of love and faithfulness.
Bazel
Pup of Honor
Bazel is a 2 year old beagle mix who was rescued at 3 months old. She is a very spoiled girl who loves to play with her toys, nap in the sun, and go to the dog park. Bazel will be making a guest appearance at the wedding but she is a little unsure of people she doesn't know - so please be mindful before approaching. Bazel would prefer you give all your attention to her brother Leo!
Leo
Best Pup
Leo is a 4 year old Italian Greyhound! He loves snuggling under the blanket and basking in the sun. He is the complete opposite of his sister Bazel. He is not a huge fan of other dogs because he does not like to share attention, but humans are his favorite - so feel free to give him extra attention when you see him on our wedding day!
Darius Singletary
Officiant
One of Rachael's closest friends! Darius and Rachael have known each other since they were kids but didn't really become friends till high school. He is one of the most kind hearted, genuine people you will ever meet. As soon as Darius heard about Christian and Rachael's relationship, he immediately made a point to get to know Chris and build a friendship with him. Rachael and Chris know they can always count on Darius to be there for them and their relationship, which is why they wanted Darius to officiate their wedding!
