Wedding Party
Sandy Acosta
Maid of Honor
Sally and I, although went to different colleges we met through our boyfriends at the time who went to my school. Throughout the years we became inseparable and when finally single at the same time took over the Boston nightlife! Sally isn’t a friend but a sister to me and can not wait to stand by her side as she marries the love of her life.

I met Sally in middle school. We became a force to reckon with in our school to the point where we were MVP in all our sports teams, Bonnie and Clyde, Robin and Batman, PB&J. We were such a force to be reckoned with…Sally became President of the School and I was the VP. We used our strong personalities to work together and if you been in Sally’s life since her childhood…You know me - I love you Sally and so happy to see how much life has blossomed for you. Alan is very lucky to have a woman like you in his corner.

I first met Sally when we were kids: She's always been special to me, a confidant, a friend, a family member. We'd spend holidays talking about Harry Potter, sweeping through thrift stores, staying up late sharing stories. It's been a long-running joke between us that she's the only one I'm going to tell before I elope. As I got to know Sally, I got to know more of her tenacious, fiery side. She's fearless yet compassionate, ambitious yet grounded. She's intensely loyal and demands a great deal of herself in order to go out of her way to treat those she loves with care. I'm so grateful and honored that Sally has asked me to be a bridesmaid.

Sally and I met a couple of years ago for the first time when she and Alan came out to LA to visit Alan’s brother Bill. We instantly bonded over travel, make-up, our love for the Peña family. Our first night was one to remember (or do we?) with you fixing my messed up make-up while also cartwheeling your way back from the bar. And even though we come from completely different places and were never able to meet up that much, we’ve stayed in touch regularly and were there for each other. What I love most about us is that the couple of times we actually managed to meet up, it is in places all over the world and I cannot wait to add Thailand to that list to celebrate your special moment together. I’m so lucky to be getting you as a sister-in-law, but no way as lucky as Alan is about to get!

Sally is not only my future sister-in-law but also one of my dearest friends. From the moment we met, she welcomed me into the family with open arms and made me feel right at home! We’ve since shared plenty of late-night BBQ sessions, sushi dates, and reality tv marathons (with many more to come!). She has an infectious laugh and can always crack us up with her silly jokes.

Sally and I have been friends since the summer of 2014 when we worked together at the YMCA in Boston. Since then, our friendship has grown in ways neither of us could have expected, but I couldn't be happier. Sally's compassion, loyalty, and genuine love for everyone around her is why she is blessed the way she is. She is a magnet of positivity and a real "queen". My best friend. I'm so happy for you and Alan, and I am so excited to witness you two become one.

Overtime we shared our lives and realized we had a lot in common and shared similar traits. One of those traits being that we both were outspoken and not afraid to share what’s on our minds. I still think of her as sassy and high maintenance but I love that about her always keeping it real and true to herself. I admire sally for her many qualities as a human and a friend and seeing her find the love and happiness she deserves is the icing to our friendship.

Summer 2012 -She was dating my fiance cousin and their family was throwing a backyard cookout/pool party. Who would have thought on that day I would have met one of my best friends. Sally graduated in 2014 from College and that relationship but we continued to be good friends. Sally and I actually became inseparable from nights out on the town, girls night in, or checking out a new restaurant from phantom gourmet. I have to say the nights out with Sally and Sandy have to be some of my favorite memories. She is always checking in with me to see how life is treating me. It’s easy to get caught up in life and forget about the small things going on with people around you but that’s not Sally.

So the first time I met Sally was during Connections orientation at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts. It was my first time in Massachusetts and in Worcester. My mom during parents orientation met one of our mutual friend's mother who introduced me to our mutual friend who then introduced me to Sally. I remember thinking I’ve never met someone so girly, bubbly, and friendly. I thought I was friendly but, she was on another level. She told me her name and greeted me with a warm hug like she had known me forever. She had so much excitement in her eyes and from the moment she walked up to me and we met to this day she has just always radiated energy and good vibes. At that moment I remember thinking “were gonna be great friends” and to this day... It still holds true.

When our dad had just started dating L, he kept wanting me to get to know his new girlfriend and her daughter Sally but I didn't really see the point; I didn't want to start getting attached if things didn't work out. But dad kept telling me about how awesome Sally was and that they were bonding like crazy and so on. I could tell he adored her and wanted us to meet, so I agreed to give it a shot. Since that day, we became a complete family and I got the most wonderful baby sister in the world... when she's not being a total butthead <3

Being Alan’s brother I have known Alan my whole life, and what a life it has been. From epic Pokémon battles & wrestling matches as children to making epic memories traveling all over the world as adults; from the time you did a 360 off a water slide in Vietnam while the whole parked watched only for me to fall flat on my face as an encore, fulfilling our dream of ordering an omelet du Fromage in Paris and additionally who can forget conducting epic jam sessions while over-analyzing lyrics every time we linked up. Also, our time cheering for plátano power in the world baseball classic. Thank you again for the great memories brother you are the definition “anything, anywhere, anytime” and I guarantee you are the best brother anyone can ever ask for and I am so happy for you and Sally.

I don’t envy people, but if I did, I would envy the hell out of my little sister. She has hustle like no one I have ever met, and I have met a lot of people. She has drive and ambition oozing out of her, but she has never sacrificed the most important parts of her life to get what she wants. They have travelled the world together. They have bought a house together. They are always there for both of their families, and they are there together. They’ve had more adventures than almost anyone I’ve met, and they did all these things, together, while they were both in their 20s. I have no idea how they’ve done it all, but they have, and they’ve done it because they are fantastic partners in crime. Sally and Alan love each other, and witnessing that is one of the happiest parts of my entire life.

I honestly don't know where the time went with this kid. I remember him as a child and now it seems like every day he is growing more and more. I don't know if a Bio is even needed for him as he is unmistakable. His smile is contagious. Every single day I am more impressed with the man Alan is becoming and I am thrilled to watch as he continues to grow.

Alan is a second cousin of mine. I met him through our cousin Maximo. The first time I met him and Sally though, Max wasn't present. Yet as soon as I met them, they treated me as if we had known each other our entire lives, and it has been exactly like that since. The more time I spend with Alan (and with the rest of the pack), the harder it is to remember that we only met a few years ago. It's therefore an absolute honor to be a part of this ceremony.

By Alan, you might know me as “Max”, “The one and only”, or “the great one” lol. I am Alan's cousin! After that summer in 2013, I joined the US Army and moved to Korea for a year. After coming back to the USA, we planned trips together, to include the EPIC Eurotrip! Where Alan, Bill, Mariel and I went to Barcelona, Ibiza, Belgium (here we went to the biggest EDM festival “Tomorrowland”). We have so many great/funny memories of this trip! Words cannot express how much I love brother Alan! I can never imagine life not having him as a brother/best friend. He is so amazing and I’m so proud of him! I'm so happy he found the love of his life, and cannot wait for the big day!!! P.S. I’m so happy and grateful to have you as a sister Sally!

Knowing Alan since I was born, it is crazy to think how much we have grown together as a family and how much I have grown personally by having him as family. Much more than a cousin to me, I see him essentially as my older brother as he's taught me so much and we have shared many amazing life experiences together which created great memories that I will remember and carry for the rest of my life. To see him truly happy with Sally means a lot to me as I want him to continue to live his life as best and as happily as possible as he truly knows best to do. Also by knowing Sally since he basically met her, I know what a great person she is and how much she means to him so I can only say it's about time and it makes me happy that you guys are tying the knot. I wish you guys the best!!
