Wedding Party
Sarah Sanchez
Matron of Honor
My sister does not back down from a challenge! She is always finding a way to get things done. She is my protector-the one I know would move mountains for me without a second thought. I was a teen when she got married so we didn't get to do all the fun wedding things together then but I am so excited we get to do them now! She is one of the greatest blessings in my life. I love you!
Leonard Alvarez
Best Man
Leonard, our friendship blossomed in such an unorthodox way and I am so glad the Lord allowed it to happen, I am blessed to have you be part of my life. You have been someone consistently in my life. We have been there for each other, happy and sad times. I am glad to have a friend I call a brother to count on. I have never had to question your loyalty and that is not an easy trait to find. You gave me the honor of being the godfather to your first born, your daughter whom I love so much. I will be grateful forever, I stood right by your side on your wedding day and now I have the privilege of asking you to stand by me at mine. I love you brother and thank you for your love, loyalty and being my go-to without a doubt. #bestman #thatsmydawg
Tori Carillo
Bridesmaid
Tori welcomed me with open arms from the very beginning. We instantly clicked. She reminds me so much of my sister: she doesn't back down from a challenge and she gets sh*t done. I'm grateful for the bond we have created and the memories we have already shared. I truly feel blessed to have her in my life, not just as my friend but now my family! Love you!

Even as the two grown men we are now, I still look up to you. Thank you for being the big brother I always knew I wanted but never knew I needed. You have been a safe place for me. I know if I need you, you'll be there guns a blazing. Thank you for supporting Victoria and I. Thank you for giving me my big brother approval. Thank you for the brother you are and taking that role seriously. Love you, Locs. #bondnevereverbroken

My girl since high school. My ride or die through every laugh, every heartbreak, every wild phase life has thrown our way. We've grown up together, held each other up,and built a bond that feels more like family than friendship. She's my chosen sister, the one who gets me without even trying. Life wouldn't be the same without her and I'm forever grateful for the love and loyalty we've shared all these years. I can't wait to continue to see where life takes us! I love you chica!

My brotha from anotha. Meeting you at Target 20 years ago was a blessing from the man upstairs. We shared some crazy milestones together. From throwing our 21st birthday together, to you literally being by my side through the toughest times in my life. You never left my side. For that, I will be forever thankful, brotha. Thank you for welcoming me into your amazing family. Having you stand by my side for my wedding day is a blessing, bro. Thank you for staying as solid as they come. #PayrollAsh

Corina has known me since I was 14 years old. She's watched me grow through every season of life-through loss, anxiety and everything in between. No matter how much time passes, when we come together it always feels like we never skipped a beat. Her presence is comforting and full of love. She truly feels like a sister to me. I was at her wedding and now she gets to be a part of mine! Love you, sister!
Manuel Macedo
Groomsman
Manny, I look back at the day I met you, you had no idea who I was and most likely thought "who is this dude all in my sister's house?" Lol But still, you gave me the utmost respect. You took the time to get to know me and to me you were the first person to make me feel welcomed. For that, I am truly grateful. Manny, thank you for trusting me with your sister's heart. I know your guys' bond is special to the both of you, I saw it right from the start. Just know that I will do my best to always take care of her. You have done an amazing job of being her go-to person. She will forever need you in her life but now I will take a little pressure off of you, hahaha. Just so you know, you are not losing a sister, you are gaining a brother and the loyalty that comes with that title. I am proud to have you stand with us on our special day, bro. It means the world to me.
Lani Sigala
Bridesmaid
Lani has become such a bright spot in my life. She is fun, outgoing and caring. She is just as emotional as I am which makes our bond feel natural. We've cried together, laughed together, and had those deep talks about life and goals that bring us even closer. Her energy, her honesty and her heart make every moment with her special. She truly brings light to my life. I am so excited that we will be family! Love you girl!
Andre Morrow
Groomsman
Dre Dogg, Dre Dizzle, Double Ds, Brother, Ohana. You are one of my oldest friends and probably the one I share the most memories with. I still remember the day I met you senior year in high school, Relay4Life. I didn't know then that you would become one of my life long friends and someone I consider a brother. Dre, we have been through everything together and we literally stood by each other's side through it all. We never left one another behind. Your family is my family and vise versa. You allowed me to stand by you when you said "I do," now, you are blessing me by standing by me for my big moment. Thank you for your loyalty, brotha. I wouldn't change our reckless, hilarious, dangerous memories for nothing. (Doin' what we want to hangin' out the sunroof, We mental, we ignorant boy, yeah we go dumb, dude.) I freaking love you, brotha. #badboys4life
Christina Watanabe
Bridesmaid
Christina has become such a special part of my life. She has never made me feel like anything less than family. She's supportive, loud in the best way, and knows how to make a moment brighter. I am so thankful for her and can't wait to continue to grow our bond and share a lifetime of memories together! My soon to be sister-in-law! I love you!
Manuel Sanchez
Groomsman
Menito, my Virgo brother. I'm realizing now that we are going to have to share birthday weekends for the rest of our lives, hahaha. I am more than good with that. Menito, I know Victoria is your little sister. I will always remember the day you gave me the big brother talk. That day, you got all my respect. Victoria holds you with such high regards and getting to know you these past three years, I can truly see why. You are an amazing brother, great husband, and an amazing father to your two boys and an all around awesome human being. Thank you for making me feel welcomed into your home from the beginning. Thank you for giving me advice about becoming part of this family and for accepting being one of my groomsmen. I promise to do my best to take care of your little sister. She is in good hands, I promise. We are brothers now and I take that role very seriously. Just know I am always one call away, brotha.
Alfonso Villafuerte
Groomsman
Fonzi, What can I say about the guy that changed my life. You are a rock solid human being, bro. Your discipline and hard work is something I have admired about you since our friendship started 20 years ago. You have literally never changed who you are and stayed true to your standards and morals since the day I met you. Thank you for being a part of my big day. I have said this to you before but I will say it again: Thank you for caring enough about me to knock some sense into me and saving my life all those years ago. I am forever in your debt, brotha. I love you, boy. You are one of my best friends, my brotha and the K-Ci to my Jojo. #targetelectronicsRnBsoulbrothers
Raymond Woodie
Groomsman
Ray, your friendship to me was a surprise to say the least. But it was truly the best kind of surprise, brotha. You are a human that lights up a room with your humor, positivity and kind heart. Ray, Victoria and I love you. You have given us unconditional love and support since the beginning. You truly became one of my brothers and sir, thank you for showing me that real true friendships can blossom in one's later years. Thank you for sharing this special day with me. Love you, bald head.
Taijon James
Officiant
Taijon James! Who knew the dude I somehow randomly sat next to on Friday poker nights would be the officiant at my wedding. Truth be told brother, your friendship is priceless. From the very beginning you stay as solid as God makes them. When I brought Vic around, I still remember the moment you gave your Tai stamp of approval. You gave me advice about maintaining a strong relationship and being a better man for Victoria. I am forever grateful for that, bro. Your advice will stick with me. I look at you like another big brother in my life. From all the non-stop shit talking to being one the the true pillars in my life. You are someone who always shows up. We love you bro and thank you for accepting to play a huge part of our big day. Love you, bro. Tai, We are so grateful to have you stand with us on our wedding day. Let it be known, it was totally MY idea to have you officiate! Your humor has carried us through so many moments, your advice has grounded us, and you've taught me one of the biggest lessons: you can't run away from life, you have to live it. We couldn't imagine anyone else guiding us into this next chapter and we're so lucky to have you be part of it. Cheers, to hitting the JACKPOT!!
