Miguel (aka Scrappy) is the little brother I never had. I still remember many of the antics we'd get into as little (and not so little) kids, but above all I look back and reflect at what a stand up guy he is. He is a little guy with a huge heart; a man who has time and time again been there for me and I am honored to have him by my side on this great day.

Ale is my best friend of 25 years! We grew up sharing tears, laughter and accomplishments. She would also always let me borrow her clothes even though she'd say I never asked (I always asked). Clothes, advice, late night hot dog runs -- I can count on her for anything and everything. Her beautiful soul and kindness inspire me to be a better person. I am so blessed and so proud to have Ale as my sister and matron of honor.

Luis and I have been friends since elementary school and since then have gotten into our share of trouble. Be it sneaking into the movies, falling off a mountain cliff, midnight streaking, or the many other shenanigans, Luis has definitely made life interesting. He's a hell of a guitar player, a fellow adventurer, and a true friend.

With her optimistic outlook and tremendous sense of humor, it's hard to not have a blast with Laura. She is warm-hearted, a great listener and one of the best people to have a good laugh with. In finding my partner in life, I am also gaining a sister who I can talk to about anything.

I've known Valeria since elementary school. Even though she didn't like to share her hot cheetos, she has always been of noble heart and has the kind of energy that uplifts you no matter what. She also has one of the most contagious laughs! She is a true friend, who is always there when I need advice, or just a good talk. Valeria's friendship means a lot to me and so does that she will be standing by our side on our special day.

I'm very fortunate to call Danny my bother-in-law. Not just because he is so great for my big sis, but he is a funny, upfront guy who you can always count on. Aside from his questionable sports teams — Colts?... Come'on Danny — I love this guy and am very blessed to have him in my life.

Of all my groomsmen, I've known Victor for the shortest amount of time, but in that period I have learned what an exceptional man he is. Victor is the type of man who steps up to the occasion. He is someone who gives to others without expectation for anything in return and above all a man of his word. He continues to inspire me as the type of man I hope to embody and I am very honored to have him by my side.

I got to know Theresa in high school, where we bonded over silly cartoons we'd pass to each other during geometry. The following years would include countless and endless conversations over our traditional "sandwich and soup" get togethers, our attempts at jamming sessions, and geeking out on Flight of the Conchords (and The Beatles, of course). She is thoughtful, honest and giving. I am fortunate to have Theresa "in my life", and accompany us on this day.
