Manny, Manny is the most precious God-given gift to not only Alexea, but also Melvin. Manny is the son of Alexea. Stealing hearts since his arrival on earth. The bond is impossible to be broken with Melvin and Manny. MSQUAD (Melvin + Manny) have been in existence since the beginning of the bride to be and groom’s relationship. Manny has won Melvin’s heart since he was 6 weeks old; he will stand by Melvin’s side as he marries his bride Alexea. Where do we start. Manny and I have known each other since he was 8 weeks! We’ve spent a ton of time together over the 2 years I’ve been in his life. He was the first person to give me his blessing to marry his mommy! We have a bond that goes beyond borders, he is the best man, no pun intended.
