Flower Girl
From the moment Xela was born, it has been an unlimited dose of happiness added to our lives. Her affectionate soul and comedic personality is infectious to anyone that comes in contact with her and will brighten your day in an instant. We're constantly amazed by her keen comprehension of the world and people around her, even at such a young age. Xela loves strawberries, singing and painting with water colors. Once the music starts playing, you'll probably catch her grooving on the dance floor! It is so special to us that we get to celebrate our wedding day with the little love of our life. Without her our union wouldn't be complete.

Olive is the first born grandchild into the Suelto family and is loved so much by everyone. She is very sweet with a quirky personality and constant curiosity about life, you can feel her excitement about new things as she explains it to you. A Brooklyn kid at heart, you could probably find her exploring different playgrounds around the city or checking out the newest art exhibit on her downtime outside of school! Olive is an impressive lego-builder and has recently began learning French! She is unstoppable and will probably be showing off her dance moves once the music starts!

I haven't had a dull moment in the last 17 years, whenever I'm with Gabby! Her unapologetic humor and honesty makes her one of my most favorite people to be around. We share countless laughs and endless memories that I will always cherish. On her downtime, Gabby loves camping with her husband Nate and son Ezra, and has a very unique creative passion; if you get the chance, ask her about her felt needling work!! Its a talent I hope she shares more with everyone.

If you were to ask Andres how we met in our early years of high school. As he remembers it and would always remind me I was with a black book (artist book) riding on a school bus. I've always admired Andres creativity, he has an amazing vision and the skillset to execute his ideas..if he doesn't know it he will learn it. If Andres isn't busy at work he is learning a new skill by taking on new hobbies. If you ask about his recent car project you will get an earful. He is one of the most hospitable and genuine people I have ever met, he will make you some amazing tacos and would give you some helpful photography advice, all in one visit.
Bridesmaid
Jeanette is my soon to be sister-in-law, Alex' youngest sibling, and Xela's favorite Auntie! You can't miss her, that style will definitely catch your attention! When she isn't traveling the world, you can probably find her in the kitchen cooking up something fresh and ready to share with all of her loved ones. I've really enjoyed our time bonding (especially over a glass of wine) and look forward to sharing many more of those moments to come!
Man of Honor
I met Jj a year after being born. Ever since then he has been my best friend. Those that know me also know how much I look up to Jj though he is my younger brother. He is one of my biggest inspirations in life and never seizes to amaze me in all that he has achieved. His work is also his passion but remains humble about his accomplishments. JJ, has a keen ear for sound and music which has lead him to working on popular series and movies from streaming networks to the big screen! Fun Fact; you can find JJ and his afro published in a coffee table book dedicated to hair. Ask him about it!
Bridesmaid
Laurin and I began our friendship stepping into our college years and she's been my girl ever since! Its hard not to enjoy her company when she brings the good energy and great conversation to the mix, with a heart that is as genuine as it is generous. Alex and I love that she's mastering her baking skills and lets us taste her new creations. Her blueberry cheesecake is *chefs kiss*! Throw on some 90's R&B or early 2000's pop music and you will probably catch us belting our heart out!
Groomsman
I met Jay as far back as middle school, our friendship grew from our common love for music, food, art & design and comic books. From being thunnies in Stockton to neighbors in San Francisco, he has always had my back wherever we are. Jay can light up the room with his wittiness and humor, he finds ways to make a bad situation into a funny one, it's never a dull moment with this guy. My thunny is also another creative artist that I love to bounce ideas with, we have worked on multiple projects together...but man I tell you as an artist myself with his vision and brilliant ideas he has made me look really good with some of my art. I couldn't have done all of this without him.
Bridesmaid
Staci and I became friends right out of HS, and its been nothing but good times ever since! She'll always show up and show out! Always ready for the next adventure at any moment while making sure everything is organized and strategically planned. Her quick whit and spunky personality keeps everyone laughing and on their toes, but a sweetheart to the core. If you get a chance to try one of her homemade cocktails, you wouldn't be disappointed!
Groomsman
I met Marc back in high school through my brother Jj who was also friends with Jay Martinez and Andres. We all quickly became friends, and have experienced the best and the worst of times together. Our interest in gaming has kept a friendly on-going match that has continued throughout the years and will probably last our lifetime! He might be quiet, but he is full of knowledge; ask my thunny about it about anything related to numbers, sports and music and he probably won't stop talking. As an avid record collector, you might not catch him on the dance-floor but I'm almost positive he will know every sample used in the song that's being played.
Officiant & Bridesmaid
Originally having a short stent as middle school rivals, Jessica and Sasha quickly became friends bonding over similar taste in music and fashion! More than 20 years later and they are still keeping their bond strong. Jessica is beautiful inside and out, and easily one of the most intelligent woman we are lucky enough to have in our circle. Currently, If Jessica isn't working on her Doctorate or one of her endless hobbies, you can find her spending time with her husband Carlos and their 2 adorable pups Louie and Gucci. Jessica has always supported our growing relationship over the years so when she agreed to officiate our wedding day, we felt honored at the opportunity and knew it would make our day even more special!
