Lesly and I met in middle school, but we didn’t get close until we reconnected later in college (apparently she was scared of my emo phase). Whether helping me practice for interviews or staying up late talking during sleepovers, she’s always been there for me. Lesly’s huge heart and kindness are truly unmatched, and she leaves a mark on everyone’s life she touches.

Jocelyn came into my life freshman year of college, and we quickly became inseparable as we stumbled our way into adulthood. Over the years, we’ve gone from doing homework, stressing over tests, and drinking cheap wine to navigating our careers and becoming wives. I can’t wait to step into a new chapter with her by my side.

Andrés is technically my uncle, but at just over a year older than me, he’s always been more like a brother. We’ve been there through all the stages of life—the good, the bad, and the kind of weird. I can’t believe we’re all grown up now, and I feel so lucky to have him in my life.

Kelin’s my oldest friend. We started our friendship after a disagreement over crayons in the 2nd grade. She knows my embarrassing stories, witnessed all my teenage angst, and still chooses to call me her friend. She’s thoughtful, smart, and knows what I’m thinking without me having to say it. I’m filled with happiness knowing little us would be proud.

Kam has been my partner in crime since 2017. As part of my fiancé’s family, I’ve come to love her like a sister. From music festival grounds to family parties, there’s no one I’d rather have by my side. She’s an incredible mom, friend, and woman I’ll always admire.

Ever since meeting Tiff in the summer of 2023, she became an instant bestie of mine. She’s the complete package—wild and the life of every party, while also being incredibly sweet and strong. Since meeting her, I’ve had the honor of watching her grow into an amazing mom to twin boys, who she’s already teaching to call me “tía.”

One of my brothers and my partner in crime. We’ve been through a lot together, and he’s been my best friend since birth. I couldn’t imagine my wedding without him by my side.

Alex is my closest cousin and has become more like a brother to me. I’ve seen him grow from a crazy teenager into one of the best dads out there. We’ve experienced some of the best moments in life together, and there’s no one else I’d rather have by my side.

Diego and I became friends back in middle school, and we haven’t looked back since. He’s known as the life of the party and is always down for anything. My life would be a bit boring if he weren’t part of it.

I met him through a group of friends that we have in common, but over the years we’ve grown from acquaintances into brothers. I know I can call him at any moment, and I can always count on him to be there.

Gheorghe and I met during P.E. in middle school, and ever since, he’s been one of my closest childhood friends. From playing soccer to taking Manuela and me on our first dates, he’s been part of my entire life journey.

Juan is not only a father figure to me, but also someone I can call a friend. Truly the definition of dependable, he has proven to be one of the most caring people I have ever known. He’s someone who will always go above and beyond for me.

A gentle giant, Luis is one of the nicest people out there. One of my most caring friends, he’s someone I can always depend on. He’s known as the side quest king, turning any night into a fun experience.

My oldest brother is someone I can call for anything, and I know he would come through. He has seen me grow up and has always been there to protect me and give me advice. I wouldn’t be the man I am today without him.

I’ve had the honor of watching Fara grow up and grow into an intelligent and beautiful young woman. She’s witty, hilarious, and incredibly sweet. As my fiancé’s niece, I’ve come to see her like a little sister and am so excited to have her by my side on this day.

Josie is full of spunk, energy, and sass. She lights up the room with her personality and sweet nature. Watching her grow up has been a treat, and I know she’ll continue to become a strong and beautiful young woman. I couldn’t imagine this day without her by my side.

A a little brother to me. I’ve seen Carlitos grow from a toddler into the young man he is today. I’m so proud of his growth and excited to see what’s yet to come. Carlitos is caring, funny, and a great cook, and I can’t wait to see him pursue his dream of becoming a chef.
