Rodolfo and Vanessa
Wedding Party
Melissa Maciel
Matron of Honor
Melissa is my first little sister and my earliest best friend. We were lucky to be sisters but have developed an amazing friendship through our shared love of family, Harry Potter and Disneyland. She is someone who has helped guide me through life and I am so honored to call her my friend. She is so loving, dependable and intelligent; a natural fit for my bridal party.
Tawnya Padilla
Matron of Honor
Tawnya is my youngest sister and loudest cheerleader. She is the sweetest and most determined person I know. We are about 5 years apart and did not get along so much when we were younger but that has changed so much. Melissa, Tawnya and I are all very close and love spending time watching Survivor, chick flicks and enjoy our sister outings very much. I am so glad that she is part of my bridal party.
Iveth Alvarez
Maid of Honor
Iveth is my favorite cousin and one of my closest friends. I remember being around 8 years old and playing barbies with her. We share everything and I am so blessed to have her in my life. She is one of the strongest most driven people I know, she also has amazing taste in reality TV. I am delighted that she is my maid of honor!
Leanna Williams
Bridesmaid
I met Leanna the very first day of college after I mentioned in an ice breaker activity that I liked Harry Potter. We have been friends since that day more than 15 years ago and I know we will be friends for even longer. She is such a joy to be around, a great story teller and always ready to remind me of things I have forgotten from our Pitzer days. I am so honored to have her be part of our wedding!
Noreen Barcena
Bridesmaid
I met Noreen on my first day of college because she was my roommate. We hit it off right away, staying in to watch Sex and the City, working together at the Spanish lab and late night trips to get food with Leanna. She is always there for all of her friends and has a real passion for helping those in need. I am so excited to share this experience with her as my bridesmaid.
Yasmin Enriquez
Bridesmaid
I have known Yasmin since middle school and it has been such a joy to grow together and see how our lives have changed. We always have the best time when we hang out, even that time we were asked to leave La Boom. She is honest, caring and always has the best advice when presented with a problem. I am so happy that she had agreed to be my bridesmaid.
Jaide Orozco
Bridesmaid
I met Jaide when she was 16 years old and introduced herself as Rudy's favorite niece. She and Rudy have always been close and it was such a delight to see how happy she was to be asked to be my bridesmaid. She is the friendliest, bubbliest and fastest talker I know; I am so excited to have her be part of my bridal party.
