Wedding Party
Veronica Ramirez
Maid of Honor
She's one of my best friends since 6th grade. I love her like a sister. She's been by my side during so many adventures, that I can't imagine saying "I do" without her by my side. I am proud of her as a woman and mother. She conquers her fears and works her tail off for her family. I love you, Vero.
David Rodriguez
Man of Honor
David is the big brother I never knew I needed. We've been friends since we were 15 years old and I think I'm keeping him around forever... even though he's too cool for me. We're family at this point. I love his wife Vanessa like a sister too. His kids Don and Izel are my favorite nephew and niece. Love you, Naco!
Esmeralda Sotelo
Bridesmaid
I love my sister with all my heart and soul. We couldn't stand each other growing up, but now she's my true best friend. She may live far away, but I carry her close in my heart. I miss her beautiful energy and spending quality time with her, but it's the greatest feeling in the world seeing her happy and living her best life. She makes the world a better place.
Lizette Sotelo
Bridesmaid
Lizette is my not-so-mini-me. My mom swears we are exactly alike, but I'd venture to say she's even more Chingona than me. I raised this minion, so she's basically my daughter. I am so proud of the strong, creative, intelligent woman she has become. Keep following your dreams, no matter what. I love you Nena!
Lizbeth Sotelo
Bridesmaid
Lizbeth is my baby baby sister. She's the future author, poet, and professor of our family. I like to think she gets her smarts from me... I pretty much created a beautiful nerd playing school at home and taking them on field trips to Half Price Books. She's so talented, empathetic, and stands up for what she believes in. I raised this one too! I love you Nena!
Benjamin Marroquin
Best Man
Benji is Mark's little brother and Best Man.
Alex Arguelles
Groomsman
Alex is Mark's cousin, but they're basically brothers.
Lee Loera
Groomsman

Juan Sotelo
Groomsman
Juancho is my little brother and I guess Mark's brother too - by proxy. I am so incredibly proud of the man my brother has become. His passion shows in his work as Juancho El Barbero. He was raised in a house full of girls, so he tolerates all our craziness and girl stuff. I love my brother so much. Anyone who meets him will tell you he is kind and genuine. Thanks for always supporting me pichirilo. Now go walk laps around the house!
Nicolas Ortiz
Groomsman
Nicolas is one of Mark's childhood friends.
Manny Espinoza
Groomsman
