Wedding Party
Lisa
Matron of Honor
Lisa has been there for Monica since the very beginning. After growing up with completely different tastes in just about everything, they turned into best friends as adults. Lisa will literally call Monica three times a day! Lisa always welcomes both Monica and Tavio into her home for countless sleepovers, menudo mornings, trips to Fuzzyline and Michigan, and so much more.
Rocio
Maid of Honor
Because of her height and maturity, Rocio was unofficially the oldest for the first 15 years of the Andrade family’s lives as she was always the more mature of the bunch. Rocio and Octavio were always together since they are both only a year apart. As teenagers, they would go to rock concerts. Now Rocio has graced us with the first nephew on the Andrade side of the family with Olen.
Anne
Bridal Party
Anne is always down for an adventure. Monica and Tavio always love when she is around because she has great taste in activities, food, and drinks. She has shared hotels, drinks, food, brew tours, and even campsites with them. Monica and Anne make great travel partners, and Anne always knows exactly what Tavio wants to drink!
Areen
Bridal Party
Areen is the best cook in Tavio's family next to Tavio's mom. She is a true saint for putting up with Daniel, Tavio's brother. She brought the two Andrade nieces, Dahlia and Yasmine, into the world, is a competitive and skilled Sequence player, and always has a low-key joke to spice up any conversation.
Daniel
Bridal Party
Daniel is Tavio's big little brother. He is always there to help if a family member needs something, and always opens his doors to them and feeds them enough Gina''s Chicken to put Gina's kids through college. His addiction to dino noises and random cumbia covers always keeps the playlist interesting.
Enrique
Bridal Party
Enrique is the son of Lisa and Valen Trevino, Monica’s godson, BFF, and Starbucks and Target ride or die. He was Tavio's first taste at being a Tio and the person he can always count on to blast Bad Bunny in the car with him. When Enrique was 6, Monica and Tavio took him to his first Cubs game. Since that time he has become a huge part of our lives.
Freddy
Bridal Party
Freddy, Tavio’s brother-in-law, has put up with his antics for over 17 years. Not only is he the fiance to Rocio, but he is Tavio's brother. He’s an amazing dad to Olen and Baxter, partner to Tavio’s sister, and even co-worker to Monica. Recently, Tavio and Monica bonded with Freddy in Detroit over late night Taco Bell in a hotel bar and learned he is super fun to travel to a new city with.
Juan
Bridal Party
Juan is Tavio’s youngest brother and the sweetest of the bunch. He is arguably Monica's favorite Andrade (sshh, don't tell Tavio). He has such a kind heart and always welcomed Monica into the family. His kitchen concoctions are ones to be envious of!
Korina
Bridal Party
Korina (K-Dub for short) is Monica's sister-in-law and has been a part of the family for quite some time now. She is always down to drink a few seltzers with the family on our yearly trip to Wisconsin and have us over for birthdays. She is kind, generous, a great mom, wife, and nurse!
Louis
Wedding Party
Lou is always there for Monica and Tavio when we have a car problem! Kidding - he is good for much more than that, but the car fixing hook-up is definitely a big plus. Growing up, when he wasn't hitting her Barbies off the roof with a baseball bat, he was being a great big brother to Monica. With this marriage, Lou now has a permanent "parts guy" in Tavio, and Tavio finally has a big brother!
Valen
Bridal Party
Valen officially became Monica's brother when he married her sister, Lisa. Since that time he has become such a big part of Monica and Tavio's lives. He is always down to BBQ, hang out, watch the latest NFL/NBA/MLB game, and enter into gambling bets with Tavio and Enrique. He endlessly welcomes us into his home to spend the night and even gives us the king suite with the bear-skinned rug. What a guy!
Aly
Flower Girl
Aly loves Tik Tok dances, is very outgoing, artistic, and so nice to be around. Fun fact: The first Thanksgiving Tavio spent with our family, Aly said grace where she promptly only thanked God for Tia Anne and Tavio.
Dahlia
Flower Girl
Dahlia is the most curious and adventurous of the Andrade kids. She is arguably the best dancer of the Andrade family, and if we're lucky, Dahlia just might do a Let It Go reenactment on the dance floor at the wedding!
Mia
Flower Girl
Mia is a great dancer, swimmer, and mini-gymnast! She can play all day long and thinks Tavio is waaay better at playing with Barbies than Monica. She is so smart and curious!
Yasmine
Flower Girl
Yasmine is the newest Andrade little one. She loves to dance and play and always has a smile on her face. Monica and Tavio can't wait to see her walk down the aisle.
Zoey
Flower Girl
Zoey is Tavio's goddaughter. She is part sweet angel baby and half Scrappy Doo. She wants nothing more than to be like her big brother, Enrique, and sister, Mia.
Orlando
Ring Bearer
Orlando is the cutest little soccer player you will ever meet. He's brave, kind, and probably a better driver than most adults!
Olen
Ring Bearer
Olen was the first baby in Tavio's family. He loves to dance, and he does the best T-Rex impression that we've ever seen. He super smart and sweet.
