Wedding Party
Miriam "Marshmallow" Watts
Matron of Honor
The OG. Been rockin' together since '92! Can you believe that!? How blessed am I??? God has been so good to us, always strengthening our friendship and guiding us to love and understand each other better and better as sisters in faith. Miriam is the mirror to my soul, many times knowing me better than I know myself and always keepin' it real. She is the bestest Matron of Honor anybody can have, and I'm grateful to have her beside me during such a significant time in my life
Marisol "Yakety Yak" Munguia
Bridesmaid
The Partner-In-Crime. Mari and I went to the same middle school but didn't become friends until High School. Like our own lives, our friendship has evolved over the years. From partying together to becoming mommies and settling down, our friendship has been one for the books. We have grown together, made mistakes along the way without judgement, and leaned on each other through tough times. She's always been a great listener and never hesitates to help in any way she can. P.S. She is my crafty queen, aka the person behind my awesome wedding Save-the-Dates and Invitations!
Joselin "Prima Del Alma" Peña
Bridesmaid
The Ride or Die. Joselin is my closest cousin, hence the name "prima del alma"..."cousin of my soul. The one who got to see my relationship with Art from the start...look how far we made it prima ;) It has been the greatest adventure getting to grow with you, not only in our family dynamic but also as friends. From our made up song of coco-loco-poco-noco (heehee) to whispered secrets and sleepovers...one paragraph could not possibly contain all of our memories. I am so proud of the woman you have become and I pray that God continues to guide your every step. Thank you for praying over me when I have needed it the most!
Miriam "Miri" Cruz
Bridesmaid
The Tough Cookie. I bet Miriam would be surprised to see I've named her the tough cookie. And no, it's not because of our love of cookies! haha (although there's that too lol) I've known Miriam since High School, and have seen her grow into the type of person who's stronger than they realize. She inspires me with her commitment to try to push past things that scare her and for me that makes her one tough cookie. Apart from that, it warms my heart to know that we were friends as kids in high school and now we get to see our kiddos be friends also. They even send each other cute messages before school, how cute is that!?
Samantha "Halfies" Garcilazo
Bridesmaid
The Fun-Sized One. Oh man, where do I start with this girl haha Well, she didn't like me at first (I know right!? I was shocked also lol). But u know how that story goes...we got to know each other and BAM! Look at us now, two peas in a pod. Just feed us and let us nap and we'll treat you right haha It's been so awesome to see us go from Hot Messes to Hot Mamis (ok ok we're still hot messes sometimes lol) Also, one of the few that got to see my relationship with Art from the start. Actually, she's like the girl version of Art (those Gemini's got their grip on me! lol)
Rosie "Posie" Verduzco
Bridesmaid
The Mansion Roommate. I've known Rosie since High school also, but fun fact: she's the only friend I've ever lived with. Back then, we lived in a small crowded back-house that we proclaimed as the mansion. We'd just drop it casually in convo all the time, like "ok girl see you at the mansion"...where we meeting?... at the mansion lol That was 12 years ago, before her first daughter was even born! Time flies, doesn't it? When I think of Rosie, I think of so many silly and fun moments we've shared. Rosie is the type of person that will always find a way to make me laugh when I'm feeling sad. And one thing I'll never forget is her willingness to take care of Aria for me when I was struggling to find the perfect preschool.
