Illy JimenezIlly Jimenez
Bridesmaid
Illy and I were roommates and teammates while at Azusa Pacific University. We instantly connected and have been close ever since. She truly is my go to person and is always there for me no matter what the situation is. Illy has been with me through all the ups and downs life has had to offer. She is so genuine and authentic and I am so grateful to have someone like her in my life. She is also the best Tia to our boy Cudi. So thankful to have her by my side.
Janelle EcclesJanelle Eccles
Bridesmaid
Janelle and I also met while playing at Azusa Pacific. We grew closer and closer over the years. Janelle easily got a long with Marino which made it extremly easy to create memories all together. Fun fact, Marino and Janelle have the same birthday! We all share the same passion for live music. This has led us to MANY festivals and concerts, some we probably should have said no to…hahaha but I wouldn’t change any moment we share for the world! So excited to have Janelly by our side.
Gabby HanksGabby Hanks
Bridesmaid
Gabby and I met back in 2017 while she was living in California. I was planning my first ever Coachella with friends, and our friend Mariah asked if a few of her co- workers could catch a ride with me. I said yes and we instantly clicked! After spending the entire weekend of Coachella together we continued to hangout and became very close friends. Although Gabby moved back to Texas, we continue to be in each other's lives and make time to be there for one another. The fact that Trent, Gabby’s husband became great friends with Marino made it perfect. Their wedding was actually the reason we decided to have a wedding after all, so they are the ones to thank for this special day.
Vivian AlvaradoVivian Alvarado
Bridesmaid
Vivian and I were in daycare with each other at the age of 4!! All through elementary and middle school we were besties that did everything together. When we attended different high schools it caused us to get busy and not be in each other's lives as much unfortunately. Somehow we reconnected when we were in college and it was like we never spent time away from each other. When Cheo, Vivian's husband came into the picture it was a done deal that all 4 of us would be great friends. Vivian is a great friend, wife, and mama. I am so lucky we have experienced so much of our lives together.
Cudi RojasCudi Rojas
Ring Bearer
Cudi is our first dog together and is the perfect addition to our little family. We decided years ago that our first dog would be named Cudi, named after one of our favorite artist Kid Cudi. Cudi will be the most handsome ring bearer there ever was! Make sure to say hi, he loves all the hugs and kisses he can get!
Michael PachecoMichael Pacheco
Groomsman
Michael and I met through a mutual friend our junior year in high school and right off the bat we really connected and hit it off. From the start I got that feeling in my gut that he is a genuine and real person, which at the time was hard to come by. He really helped me get out of my comfort zone and experience life with a little bit more laughter and fun. Michael always still found a way to give me a phone call, a text or was sure to make plans to get together even when he was in the service. To this day, he still makes it a priority to call me and check in on Narissa and I. Michael holds a very special love for his friends and family and it shows every time you talk to him. I am so happy he is able to stand up there with me and celebrate this special night with us.
Brennan WalkerBrennan Walker
Groomsman
Brennan and I have known each other since the 5th grade but we didn't really connect until our sophomore year in high school. The moment we hit it off was when we both figured out we had the same music taste. He showed me how to have some fun every now and then and not take life so seriously. Over the years, we both went our separate ways but we always ended up finding each other. Quick story: Brennan moved to Colorado after high school and a few years later I ended up going to college in Colorado. Having him only an hour away in one of my most loneliest and stressful times was a blessing. In 2018 Narissa and I went to Chicago and Brennan messaged me saying he was also there right down the street from us. So long story short, we always find a way to reconnect and it’s like time has not passed. So grateful for this guy and am so happy to have him standing up there with me.
Brock PartainBrock Partain
Groomsman
Brock and I met in 2016 when we played on Mt. San Jacinto College's baseball team. We hit it off instantly talking about music and concerts. During those two years we were there for each other on and off the field. Brock would invite me to shows a lot but I was usually working. In 2017, we did meet up for a show on New Years and he just happened to be with his friends, Emily and Narissa. That was the night he introduced me to Narissa and the rest is history. Without Brock I never would have met the most beautiful and amazing woman I have ever met in my life. We went our different ways in college, but we always managed to stay in contact. Still to this day, Brock calls me all the time to check up on me and Narissa to see how we are doing. Even though we all have our busy lives he always makes time for us and has been such a great friend to us both. So happy to have him stand there with me on this special day.
Cris GodinaCris Godina
Groomsman
Cris and I met through Michael our junior year in high school. We really hit it off when we first met and would hangout all the time with the friend group we had. Cris and I really connected through music and he really helped me feel welcomed and a part of their group. Fast forward to today, Cris is always there. Whether it's to go to a show, go eat, or just talk he always finds a way to be there. No matter how long it has been since the last time we saw each other, every time we connect back up it is like we never spent time away. He was there when Narissa and I met, so this is full circle since he has been here since day 1.. literally. We are so happy that he is apart of our special day.
Andy BeltranAndy Beltran
Groomsman
Andy and I met through Michael and got along pretty quickly. We really bonded over our music taste. Andy has always been there for me and for all of his friends whenever we need him. He has also been a great friend to Narissa and has treated her just like he would with any of our friends which has been an amazing thing to have in our relationship. Through our busy lives, Andy finds the time to keep in contact and check in on his close friends and every time we reconnect and hangout, it's like we just saw each other. I am honored and proud to have him stand up there with me on our special day!
