Wedding Party

April Nuñez

Maid of Honor

Natalia came into my life one December in 1988 when my parents brought her home from the hospital. I didn't know at the time what a ride we were to embark on. Everyday was priceless growing up with Nat- even the days when my favorite pieces of clothing would go missing. As her older sister, I am thrilled she has found the man of her dreams in Chase. I can read her like an open book and see just how happy he makes her. I can't wait to be a part of their celebration and see my new bro's face as she walks down the aisle. Love you both!

Best Man

I first met Chase and his family when they moved back to Las Vegas from Arizona in the 5th grade. Chase and his family were friendly, fun, compassionate people. From then on, Chase, our best bud Erick, and I spent most days together. We’ve always had great times playing outside, watching movies, and quoting said movies. I’ve always felt comfortable being myself around Chase and his family, so I can’t wait for his big day with the newest member of the Finleys!

Jessica Flores

Maid of Honor

I first me Nat during our Sophomore year of high school. Not surprisingly, I first spoke to her when I was buying a chocolate bar she was selling for a fundraiser. I hit the BFF jackpot when I bought that chocolate bar. That single moment turned into a 16-year friendship built on laughter (looking at you Peter Tucci), irreplaceable memories, & a love of Pride & Prejudice- not to mention our fair share of heart-stopping international cab drives. That English class led me to a friend that I could share life's biggest moments with. I am honored to be a part of this big moment as I witness my best friend marry the nicest guy on the planet! Seeing the love they share is beautiful and I'm thankful I get to stand with you. Congrats Nat & Chase!

I met Chase in 5th Grade, and boy did he make an impression. He was the new kid at school and immediately became the buzz around campus because this new kid... had a mullet. To our ten year old eyes, boy was it weird. Bizarre hair aside- we quickly became friends and spent most of our days after school and weekends together. Over time, Chase lost his mullet but never lost his quirky sense of humor, which at this point has infected us all. After countless adventures and stories, it’s easy to say Chase is one of my best friends. When your best friend settles down, you hope that it's with someone exceptional. Nat embodies that and more. I cannot wait to create more memories and stories with the two of them together. “Congrats you crazy kids!”

After first meeting in high school, Nat and I have been best of friends for over a decade now. One of my favorite things about lifelong friendships is that you get to be there for their most life changing moments. You get to see them at their highest of highs and lowest of lows. I think it’s one of the most beautiful things in life to know someone so well. I could not be prouder to be included in Chase and Natalia’s special day. Excited to be part of this highlight and this GRAND life that you two will build together!

While I have known Chase for a while, I think we really became close friends when we became roommates about 10 years ago. We immediately discovered similar interests while "drinking water and playing T-Dub". Even though we live on different ends of California now, we remain in contact regularly. Having known Chase for awhile, I think it is very obvious that when he loves something, he goes all-in. He has shown this through his love for his family and friends, his career, and his favorite sports teams. To see that he has gone all-in with Natalia comes as no surprise. I am so happy he has found somebody so compatible with his interests and personality. This couple is the perfect match for each other and I know their wedding will be the perfect display of that.

Bridesmaid

I have known Natalia since the day I was born. For 30 years now, I have loved and adored my big cousin/chosen sister and have been fortunate enough to ride through the wild adventure that is life with her by my side. As a little girl, I literally wanted to mimic every thing Natalia did. When she napped, I suddenly wanted to nap (and I hated naps). From playing church -- yes we used to take turns on who could hand out the Eucharist-- to practicing performances, to Selena's Bidi Bidi Bom Bom, Natalia has always been a beautiful spirit-- a quality that makes it easy to fall head over heels in love with her. I am so ecstatic for Natalia & Chase as they enter this new chapter and begin the rest of their lives together and am honored to be part of the community rooting for them and their love.

Chase and I met when I transferred into a new department at Disney. Being the only two sports loving guys in the office, we quickly connected with our shared love of the Red Sox, movies, and music. I happen to be one of the first people to witness the connection develop between Nat & Chase as she chose a seat between the two of us. Many might think she ruined my chances with him, but I knew I never had a chance against her. ;) I think of Chase as a brother and I’m thrilled to be with him as he just “sends it” into matrimony. Congrats Chase & Nat!

Angelica Velasco

Bridesmaid

Natalia and I first met when we were just 5 years old. We were in the same kindergarten class and we fought over who was Raquel's best friend. Little did we know that it was the start of a friendship that has lasted over 25 years. We have shared so many milestones along the way and I am honored to be able to share the most important milestone yet. I can't wait to stand by your side while you marry the love of your life!!

Since I was a small child I have always looked up to my brother. I always wanted to be with him and do as he did. I fondly remember playing carpet football with him to the point we would have permanent carpet burns on our knees. In the 8 years we moved away to the East Coast, I enjoyed our talks and the few times we got to see each other. When Dad told me we would be moving back to Las Vegas, I was so happy because it meant that I was only 6 hours away from my brother. What I didn't expect was the man you turned out to be. You are the perfect example of a role model in the actions you've taken. It is astonishing the path you took and I wish to follow in your example in my lifetime. This is why I am very proud to be a part of your wedding and a greater part of your life. I love you, bro.

I joined sorority my first year of college, and had to choose my 'Big Sis'. By chance, I traveled to our retreat in Nat's car and within the first few minutes of meeting her, I loved her. She has this sense of calm about her, she's funny, beautiful, smart, well put-together, and really just a joy to be around. I immediately felt a connection with her, and not in a million years did I think she was going to pick me as her "Little sis." Needless to say, we picked each other and the rest is history. I am just so lucky to have met this human being. We’ve had some great adventures and I can’t wait for more to come. So excited to be part of one of the biggest adventures in your life, getting married to your soulmate. He is one lucky man! I love you Big!

Honor Attendant

It’s a rare and wonderful thing when great friends come to you later in life. Within 5 minutes of meeting, I knew that I might just get along with this California girl. After the first week of work, it seemed like we had known each other forever! Remarkably, history repeated itself one year later when I met her Las Vegas lad Chase. One night out over cocktails in Barcelona and I knew these two were heading somewhere special. From belting out Disney show tunes on road trips and drinking too many Tequilas on 5 de Mayo, to being honored to be present on that magical moment as Chase nervously got down on one knee and surprised Natalia with his heartfelt proposal (still celebrating how we managed to surprise her). The journey has just begun & thank you both for the first class ticket!
