Wedding Party
Yamiletth Rivas
Maid of Honor
Yami is not only my best friend, she’s also my little sister. She is 22 years young, an elementary school teacher, and the best soccer captain D2 Shorter University will ever see. She is the one who keeps us all up to date with the newest tik tok trends and the person I go to for vent sessions/listening ear. While she is my biggest hype-man, simultaneously she’ll be the first to tell me my outfit is ugly. I wouldn’t want anyone else in the world to stand by my side than my forever best friend, little sister, first child, Yami!
Wendy Blanco
Matron of Honor
The Wisin to my Yandel, the 1 to my 2, the DD to my Cica!! Don’t know where I would be in life without Wendy. She is a whole wifey, the cooolest dental hygienist, and the best dj always providing the best jams. No one gets me like Wendy does, and no one makes me laugh as much as her. She is my forever older sister and I can’t wait for our kids to one day have and love each other as we have.
Jamie Wilson
Bridesmaid
My Jimmy, John, James the Third, Jim of all Jims, Jamie! Jamie Wilson is also a whole wifey, a med-surg, labor and delivery, and post op nurse, and a freaking half-marathoner strava girly. Without her, I would NOT have survived nursing school and be where I am today. I have some of my best travel memories with Jims, and I can’t wait to grow old together and still be cracking up at all of our traumas.
Arminda Guijosa
Bridesmaid
To all she’s a friend, to me she was my forever first toxica amigis/novia. Mrs.Minda is a whole wifey soon to be mama, ER and post-op nurse, and a world class twerker. We lived our first experiences as ER nurse techs together saving lives and getting called up to do all of the hard iv’s. I’ve never felt more proud of someone than Minda working her butt off to get to where she is in life and I can’t wait to see her be the best mama to Baby G.
Keisha Gonzales
Bridesmaid
Ms.Keishhhh, my first true love. <33 Ms.Keish is an aspiring Ultrasound Tech graduating this year, a singer that puts Adele to shame, and the amigis who’s always down. For the longest time, we were the only single girls in our friend group, and I can’t imagine living that era with anyone else. We had some wild times only Keish and I know about and will laugh together about years down the road. Keisha is one of the most selfless people I know putting her family first, and I can’t wait to see her sacrifices pay off and see her continue to grow and succeed in life.
Stephany Delgado
Bridesmaid
In life I was blessed with not one, but TWO little sisters, Yami and Steph! Stephany is a master in everything she does, she’s a whole Speech Language Pathologist with a Master’s Degree, a Book Master having read every book on this planet, and a Makeup Master getting all of us right on special events! My fondest childhood memories are of us 4 sisters cracking up about nothing and endless hours of yapping about nothing! Steph is so wise for her age, I’m so proud of everything she has done and always eager to see what she’ll achieve next!
Cecilia Reyes
Bridesmaid
The baddiest baddie of all, the ultimate Cali girl, my one and only Ceciboo! Ceci is all of our fit-inspo’s, a college grad, and a world class shuffler. Whenever she is present, you’re guaranteed a fun time! I really cherished our time spent together during my time in CA! From our Salvi days, to our adulthood now, it’s no question I need my Cali girl by my side come wedding day!
