Alexa & Eduardo
Wedding Party
Ruth Lopez
Maid of Honor
Ruthie and I are two peas in a pod, the peanut butter to my jelly. Ruth and I met in middle school and since then, our friendship continues to grow. What I love most about our friendship, are all the inside jokes that we have. We still remember about a joke we said 10 years ago and laugh about it for hours. No one will ever understand our weirdness but it's something that I love most about us. Ruthie, thank you for the many wonderful years of friendship and thank you for always making me chicken Alfredo pasta after school. Aside from all our silly memories, I have many memories of the times we were always there for each other during difficult times. I am so honored that you will be part of my special day and most of all, for standing next to me as my Maid of Honor!
Benito Barin
Best Man
Benito has been one of my best friends since our high school days. We have been through it all together. He is a friend that has been with me through the highs and the lows. He is a great friend and has always had my back in tough times. The best memory I have with Benito is the time we both went out to party and stayed up until 6 in the morning, just so we could have breakfast tacos at a gas station.
Aaron Gomez
Man of Honor
Aaron is one of my best friends, my high school prom date and roommate. What I love most about Aaron, is how honest he can be, even if the truth is not so pretty. I can always go to Aaron for advice and I know he will sit down and listen to me. He is the most organized and smart person I know, who also has a fun and silly side. Aaron and I became good friends in high school but our relationship has definitely grown since we became roommates. I am very grateful for our friendship and all the memories we have made all these years. I can't wait to party with you in Mexico and catch your awesome dance moves on camera!
Louis Lara
Best Man
Louis has been another great friend in my life. We have been through a lot together. We first met in 7th grade and instantly became best friends. We always have looked out for each other and no matter how long we don't hang out or talk, we are always there for each other. My best memory with Louis is playing basketball together and hanging out. Also, ordering Papa Johns every weekend or having his mom buy us double quarter pounders boy!
Hareli Medina
Bridesmaid
Hareli is the FIRST friend I made when I started middle school. It was my first day at a new school and I did not know any of the other students. I still remember the first time Hareli spoke to me. She was sitting in front of me in class and she turned around, smiled and said, "hi my name is Hareli! What's yours?" What I admire most about Hareli, is how friendly she is and how she is able to start up a conversation with anyone. Hareli is definitely the life of the party and the one who always sees the best in people! Although we were good friends in middle school, our friendship became stronger once we both joined our high school dance team. I know my friendship with Hareli will never end, regardless of where we live or how busy our lives become. You're stuck with me forever Hareli!
Richard Campbell
Groomsman
Richard and I met at Cisco Junior College. We instantly clicked and I knew we would be best friends forever. Richard and I would spend endless nights talking with each other and we both would always share our dreams and aspirations. We were roommates for 6 years and even when we moved in to our first apartment together, I remember us leaving the doors to our rooms open so we could talk to each other. He definitely has played a big role in my life and I really feel like Richard is my brother at heart!
Ofelia Cirlos-Hernandez
Bridesmaid
Ofelia and I met in undergrad. Since the first year that we knew each other, I knew our friendship would go beyond our college days. Ofelia and I decided to go to Texas State University to complete our masters degree. Both of us never planned to move to San Marcos so we took the challenge to commute to school every week. It was definitely a challenge but having Ofelia along for the journey, made all of our trips a memorable adventure. I can definitely say that spending hours in a car together brought us close and our friendship grew more as time went by. Since graduating, our friendship continues to be as strong as before. My favorite memory of Ofelia, is seeing her walking down the isle to marry her high school sweetheart! She also recently gave birth to the most handsome baby boy!
Harry Cosme
Groomsman
Harry is the beer pong partner I never had. He is a gentleman and a scholar. I have known him for many years and we always have the best time when we are together. He is a great soul and believe it or not, most of the time he will win an argument even when he is completely wrong. His ability to chug a beer is somewhat astonishing. My favorite memory with Harry, is when we ran into each other at SXSW in Austin and we took over 6th street and became part of a flash mob.
Maritza Garcia-Beltran
Bridesmaid
I cannot be more excited to gain Maritza as my sister! I am truly blessed to have such as caring, loving and outgoing sister in law. I still remember the first time I met Maritza. It was the day Eddie invited me to her birthday dinner at Pappadeaux Seafood. I was so nervous to meet her, specially since she is Eddie's older sister. When I first met Maritza, she welcomed me with her beautiful smile and was so excited to finally meet me. It was so easy to talk to her and she made me feel so welcomed. Things haven't changed much since then. She continues to always show me that she is happy I am with Eddie and always tries to make me feel welcomed. I am truly blessed to have her as my sister in law and cannot wait to continue to grow our relationship!
JT Lopez
Groomsman
JT Lopez is the ying to my yang. We have a chemistry with each other that is kind of unexplainable. Something about him that I just really like and I know I want him on my team. He is probably the only one of my friends that knows how to really upset me and can push my buttons like no other, but I still love the guy. Even if he breaks my arm I think we would be best friends. My best memory of JT would be when we were at a lake house in Austin and he convinced everyone at a party that I was cheating at flip cup because I would hold the beer in my mouth before I flipped the cup.
Amy Gomez
Bridesmaid
I've known Amy since I was about 15 years young. She is Aaron's older sister so that is how our friendship began. Since I became roommates with Aaron, I see Amy more regularly and our friendship has definitely grown. Amy is one of the most organized, creative and beautiful woman that I know. She is a great person to go to for advice because she will not sugar coat anything. I truly appreciate her honesty and her sense of humor. Amy, thank you for being a great friend all these years and thank you for being my bridesmaid! I can't wait to party with you in Playa Del Carmen!
Alejandro Quiñonez
Groomsman
I have a lot of friends that I meet and do not remember how or when I met them. I just know we met and are friends now. I can’t say the same for Alejandro. I remember the exact date and moment we met and when I knew that this crazy guy had to be one of my friends. I am pretty sure at one point in the night, we both turned to each other and said "I cant believe we had not been friends before." That new years party was the most fun I have ever had at a new years party. The best part of the party, was that I made a great friend that I knew I would one day ask to be by my side on my wedding day. The best memory I have of Alejandro, is when he was wrestling JT at the headquarters and he body slammed JT (insert moon face)
