Victoria & Rolando
Wedding Party
Titus Stewart
Father of the Bride
Titus (or Dad, as I like to call him) has been my most important person in my life, next to my mom. I had always told him the greatest honor he could ever give me, would be to walk me down the aisle. From our love of cars (which he instilled in me), to our talks about life, he has always been there. And I could not be happier to have him be a part of our ceremony as one of our Ring-Bearers!
Patricia Penarrieta
Mother of the Groom
Rolando's mom, Patricia, has been such a wonderful person to be around. From the first time I met her, she was a ball of energy and light, and welcomed me with open arms. I was so honored to spend time with her in Chicago, and learning how to cook traditional Bolivian foods. She helped orchestrate our trip to Bolivia, and even donated some of her own jewelry to have the engagement ring made. She reminds me in a lot of ways about my own mom, and I am so honored to have her be a part of our ceremony. She will be our other ring-bearer!
Catherine Hartwell-Veale
Matron of Honor
My twin sister who is my rock has the Matron of Honor title! She was thrilled when I asked her to be beside me on my most special day, and I couldn't be happier. She has been there through thick and thin, and we have done everything from ballroom dancing to traveling. Catherine has been by my side the majority of my life and made a life for herself in England with her better half Felix.
Cristian Bonilla
Best Man
Cristian has been our friend for years while working at Discovery Cove and Aquatica. From always being down for an adventure, to listening when we need advice, Cristian has always been there for us. Cristian was with us when Rolando popped the question in Bolivia and has been a steadfast friend. He is our best man!
Laura Riddle
Bridesmaid
Laura has been one of my best friends since high school, and has remained a constant in my life. From her quick wit, to her ever changing hair, to her absolutely amazing style, she never ceases to amaze me! She is loyal, a fierce friend, and will always tell me straight-up. She is one of my gorgeous bridesmaids!
Keirsten Gallagos
Bridesmaid
Keirsten has been one of my best friends since high school, along with Laura. They are inseparable, and we always have so much fun together. Her tenaciousness, kindheartedness, and love of animals are just some of what make her so special to me. She is another one of my beautiful bridesmaids!
Christopher Bracci
Groomsman
Christopher Bracci is one of our mutual friends from Discovery Cove! From talking politics over a few drinks, or chatting about the medical field, there is always a good time with him around! A fellow lifeguard and long time fishing friend, he is another one of our groomsmen!
Daniel Clayton
Groomsman
Daniel Clayton is another one of our groomsmen! Daniel and Rolando have known each other since high school. Daniel was my on-the-job trainer at Discovery Cove and has remained a friend ever since! We are so excited to have him join us on our special day!
