Miriam Hassler - Matron of Honor
Mir and I originally met in the fall of 2016 when I was assigned as a random roommate to her and Alexis (my other MOH) in a triple bedroom. While most people have horror stories about random roommate experiences, I'm grateful to say that this situation was the start a life long friendship that is going on 10 yrs strong. It has been a joy to walk alongside Miriam as she has stepped into her roles of wife and now mom, and somehow she has never missed a beat in being a consistent and faithful friend. I'm grateful to have her by my side on this day!
Nathan Rosario - Best Man
I worship alongside Nate at Calvary Chapel Plantation, where we also have the privilege of co-leading a small group together. Over the years, Nate has faithfully walked with me through multiple seasons of life, consistently offering encouragement, accountability, and perspective. His grit, determination, and intentional way of living have challenged me to grow both personally and spiritually. Nate and his wife, Jalyn, live in South Florida.
Alexis Parker - Maid of Honor
Alexis (affectionately known as "Wegs" to those closest to her) and I originally met in the fall of 2016 when I was assigned as a random roommate to her and Miriam (my other MOH) in a triple bedroom. I'm grateful to say that this random roommate situation turned into a life long friendship that is going on 10 yrs strong. I admire Alexis for her boldness, her fun spirit, and how she intentionally loves her people. I'm thankful to have her stand with me on this special day, and you can expect to see her and I tearing up the dance floor together at the reception!
Mark Rose - Groomsman
Mark and I met while I was volunteering in Union County, Florida, and it didn’t take long for him to feel more like a brother than a friend. Since then, our relationship has only grown stronger. Now living in Gainesville, Mark works as a plumber while attending trade school full-time, which speaks volumes about his dedication, work ethic, and perseverance. On top of that, he has one of the best senses of humor I know and a heart that naturally encourages everyone around him. Mark brings joy into every room he walks into, and I’m thankful for the steady encouragement and laughter he adds to my life.
Danette Palmar - Bridesmaid
From the very beginning of Daniel and I's relationship, Danette has welcomed me into the Gonzalez family with open arms. Even at our first in-person meeting, she jokingly stated "is it too soon for me to call you my sister-in-law??". As time has passed, I've gotten to know and love Danette's sense of humor, her wisdom, and how intentionally she loves others. I'm so incredibly grateful to have my new sister standing by my side on this special day!
Chandler Mulvaney - Groomsman
Chandler and I met while serving together as UF/IFAS Extension Agents, and I quickly came to respect both his heart and his leadership. After that season, Chandler faithfully followed the Lord’s call west, stepping out in obedience and trust. He now lives in Wooster, Ohio, with his wife, Emma, and their son, Cameron. Chandler is a gifted communicator and a devoted follower of Christ, and his life has been a steady example to me of what it looks like to take up your cross daily and continually follow Him, even when the path isn’t easy.
