Maid of Honor
Debbie & I have known each other for about 20 plus years. She's been my best friend, traveling companion and partner in crime pretty much since then. We've had so much fun together and many, many adventures! She prays for me, encourages me and supports me in everything. I couldn't say "I Do" without having her by my side. Thank you for doing so much for me always and for putting up with me in my bridezilla mode. ;)
Best Man
Eddie has been Rene's forever friend (which in guy terms is probably around 10 yrs or so, I'm guessing). He's a good person who has a good heart. They've always been there for each other and they have helped each other out many, many times.
Wedding Coordinator/Bridesmaid & Groomsman
These people assigned themselves to my wedding party. Lol. But, I'm so glad they did. Melissa is one of my nieces (she wanted to hack the site and say, that she was "my favorite niece!"). I told her if I had any favorites, she would be one of them. Thank you for all you've done, from finding decor on Trash to Treasures, couponing at Hobby Lobby and finding tree stumps for the table center pieces. Rene has fired Melissa several times since the beginning but she refuses to quit. Rudy just knew we were going to get married! All along, whenever he would see us, he would hum the wedding march. We are going to have so much fun at the wedding! Thank you again! I couldn't have done any of this without you guys.
Bridesmaid & Groomsman
Again, these people assigned themselves to my wedding party (well, actually I drafted one). Lol. Gaby is one of my closest nieces and Danny is my oldest nephew. Gaby, thanks for letting me call you mostly everyday to vent about the chaos with the wedding planning & family. I know it has been way too many times. Not to mention the number of times, we've had conference calls with Melissa. Danny & I grew up together, we would always hang around and have even celebrated many birthdays together since his birthday is May 1st and mine is May 2nd. Thanks for your help with the wedding "LOVE" letters. Thanks to both of you for always being there for me. I'm so glad y'all stepped up.
Bridesmaid & Groomsman
Elma is Rene's youngest sister and Patrick is her fiancé. They were engaged around the same time we were. Thanks for noticing how much your brother has changed for the better and thanks for making me feel welcomed. I'm looking forward to joining your family. Thanks for your help in making our day special. We are going to have so much fun at the wedding!
Bridesmaid & Groomsman
Again, these people assigned themselves to my wedding party. Lol. But, I'm happy to have them by our side. This is my oldest niece and her husband. Thank you for being at most of my dress fitting(s), for always going shopping with me, for helping me pick out clothes and for always giving me your hand-me-downs. I want my wedding to be just as much fun as y'all's!
Flower Girl
Bella is one of my grandnieces. When her mom asked her if she would be my flower girl, she said, I had made her dream come true! Before that, Bella kept asking her if I was ever going to ask to be in my wedding party. I'm so happy to have made someone's dream come true! Thank you Bella for wanting to be part of my wedding.
Ring Bearer
Marcus is one of my grandnephews but if you ask him, he is my grandson! When he was younger, each of his siblings had a "grandma" that would favor them so he picked me as his! I'm so lucky & blessed to have had him pick me as his grandma. When Marcus came to visit last summer, he saw Rene helping me with different things around the house so he automatically assumed that Rene was JUST the guy who washed my car and did stuff for me. He was totally surprised that we were getting married. Lol.
Usher
Joseph is my youngest nephew. And, you can definitely tell, he has the youngest child syndrome. Lol. And, how would I know what that's about? Well... He is smart, creative and very talented. Thank you for helping Danny with the wedding "LOVE" letters and for always making us laugh.
Usher
Jason is also one of my nephews. He also makes us laugh, has a kind heart and is a great cook/chef. I wish there was something you could do that has to do with food at the wedding. Thank you for helping and stepping up at the last minute.
