Krystal, my younger sister, has been my best friend through braces, awkward hair stages, and the many seasons of figuring out what life’s supposed to be. I have loved being her big sister and making the most of life with her. She has been my shoulder to lean on, my guide, my fashion police and my favorite to do photo shoots with. She’s tough on the outside, full of sass, and has a big heart. I’m so proud of the person she's becoming. I’m honored to have her stand by me, as I make one of the biggest decision of my life. Love you Sissy <3

The perfect mix of all the best qualities of mom and dad. A gentleman, our center back for indoor and also my younger brother. From our adventures in Ecuador as young kids, to growing old together, working together, Bryan is an amazing person. At work, his commitment and work ethic are inspiring. His drive, focus and willingness to do all that is necessary is incredible. More importantly, Brian's qualities as a friend, brother, son, husband, and father to 4 AMAZING children have earned my sincere respect, love, and admiration. It is my incredible honor to have my best man by my side in this new chapter of my life.Bryan is married to Fernanda, featuring our flower girls and ring bearers. Steven, Melanie, Sophia, and Matthew.

My person, my partner-in-crime, and my best friend. Sarah and I met the summer before our freshman year (at soccer camp- shout out BCWS) and have been best friends ever since. She has been the most encouraging person in my life and I give her a lot of credit for helping me to become the person I am. Some of my favorite memories with Sarah are our soccer trip to Europe together, being captains of our soccer team, being support for each other and each others families, traveling hours and hours to see each other (to crame everything we can into only a few hours), binge watching Greys Anatomy in a few months and challenging each other in every aspect of life. I thank God for her and will forever be blessed! So thankful for her support.

He may be the youngest but for sure the wittiest. He has been earning his stripes keeping up with Bryan and myself. We share many adventures, experiences, and for times. Nicky is incredibly mature and also an amazing human. Although only 15, he amazes me with his drive and perseverance. Nicky has actually given me awesome advice from time to time. He plays on on our indoor team and consistently tries to take the "10" position from me. Don't know if will happen though. It is an honor to have Nicky Nick by my side on such special day.

Before there was Bryan and Nick, Alex was one of my first brothers. We were fortunate enough to go to middle school and high school together. Share awesome as well as embarrassing experiences. Through it all, Alex has been, and is close with sound advice. He is composed, one of the best examples as a father and a husband. Alex is a wise man, a great person, and always ready to laugh at my jokes. His only fault is getting a mirror tint on his windows in high school. It is my awesome honor to have Alex not only in my life but my future wife as well.

Carrie Joy is one of the most joyful, fun, energetic and horse & dinosaur loving people I know. Carrie and I have been good friends since our senior year of college and I’m thankful for the special times that we’ve spent getting to know each other and going on adventures. I admire Carrie for her natural talent at bringing people together and getting them to do activities out of the norm, while having the best time. Some of those activities include being powder puff pros, acting out Dr. Seuss books, line dancing, buying matching clothes and making up silly videos. I love how she gets me out of my comfort zone and I’m so excited for her to continue to be apart of my life and Freddys.

Gordon is the type of person to go after it. After his dreams without hesitations. He has lived in Chile and Switzerland since leaving AU. His determination earned his acceptance into the FIFA Masters program which has led him to conquer Europe and meet his lovely wife. It is an honor to have "Dinho" stand next to me on this special journey. He has become an example to follow. Gordon has been an amazing friend, always there to listen share his methodical thoughts. Gordon is one of my brothers from AU and someone who I admire. Gordon is married to Suzanne and they have an awesome baby boy, Noah.

April is my first friend after college. We have had some of the best adventures experiencing Baltimore, different foods, and learning how to salsa dance together. She is the definition of strong, beautiful, and is so wise beyond her years. I love that even when we haven't talked we’re still the best of friends. I admire her for how she cares for her family, for living her best life pursing all that God has for her and for her sense of style. I’m thankful for her to travel all the way from Paris to stand by us!

Pauly, my soon to be sister, is kind, sweet, and one of the most supportive people in our lives. She is an amazing mom, wife, friend, and daughter and I look up to her for that. I love her for how she is full of grace, love and faith. She is sincere and honest and has been a good friend from the beginning. I have loved celebrating all the joys in life together and I look forward to gaining a sister to do life with. Thank you for caring Naña!

Ryan "Boidy Boyd Papo" is one of my brothers I've the fortune to meet at AU. A self proclaimed late bloomer and highlighter specialist, Ryan is a true southern gentleman. Since graduating, I have seen Ryan chase his dream career. His persistence and courage to stick through it are a great example. His professional and personal growth are inspiring. I can't believe that has been half my age that I know Ryan. However, I can easily believe how he has become one of brothers. It is an honor as well to have Ryan stand by me on this next chapter.

Also known as grandpa Reeder, Brett fooled everyone with half-volleys and "bangers" during our first pre season. He was a Freshman playing like a Senior. Brett has always been quiet and decisive. Brett has one of the biggest hearts and I've had the opportunity to watch him grow in his professional life as well as his personal life. His strength to take life's punches and use them as motivation to become an awesome son, brother, husband and father, along with his drive to make it New York are inspirational. Brett has been an amazing encouraging brother since AU. I am honored to have Brett stand next to me as I enter this new chapter in my life. Brett is married to Laurie Reeder and they have two amazing boys.

Fernanda, also my soon-to-be sister, is another person I look up to so much! She is a great and fierce Mama to 4 of my soon-to-be nieces and nephews. I’m amazed with how her and Bryan are raising them. We’ve enjoyed many Grey’s Anatomy nights with lots of wine and great talks. I’m proud of her and I’m so excited to see where life's adventures take us! She’s a great soccer player and I love watching her crush guys every week. Thanks for supporting us Fer!

Kassie is one of my newest and healthiest friends and I’m thankful for how she has sweetened this season of life. We met at my gym and we’ve enjoyed trying different workouts together and sharing our hopes and dreams with each other over lots of coffee. Shes one of my most encouraging friends. As the CEO for her nonprofit, Voices of Vets, Kassie is joyful and passionate about changing people's lives and I admire her for her perseverance and drive. She is creative, smart and a super talented singer. Thanks for supporting us from the beginning Kassie <3

Kamy! My little brother, so honored to have this young man up here. Soccer tennis, quarries, soccer games, hikes, Christmas, birthday parties and any adventure. Kamy formed part of "my crew." My single years and after most of my friends got married we packed our weekends with soccer or adventures.

Evan has a bomb let lose when he strikes the ball. Might have picked up a few things from me. He has a nice silky touch, great personality and gets straight A's like a Ibra scores a paneka. Evan is part of "my crew" during my single years as well. Along with Kamy and Nick, hours and hours of watching soccer, playing soccer tennis, and going on adventures. You have to ask him who the underfeated soccer tennis champion is... still standing!

Kevin is an amazing person with a huge heart. He is an amazing Brother to Mel and Krystal. Since we met, Kev has impressed me with his maturity and ability to stay focused. Crushing it on video games but still making his grades. Kev is making the best out of his life in high school. More importantly, he loves and respects his sisters.

Whenever "Pato" is around, there is a party. Although he hated losing to my soccer team at a young age, Pato has always been there. At a young age we gather at grandma's house every Sunday and played soccer until it was dark. Whenever life has give us the chance to live near by, I know I have a person I can count on nearby. Pato has an amazing love and strength for family, a staple Llerena trait.

Alex Malaka is young at heart, but the oldest of the crew. He still hangs with us on the soccer field and is a real #10. I play on three sometimes four teams with Alex on weekly basis. Just as on the field, Alex is a great party starter. Music is always on point and Tequila never missing. He is married to an awesome Bridesmaid ( Paulina) and they have 3 children. Kamy, Evan, and Emilio (MIMO).

Like my little brother, Tefo has always been around us. Although we lived thousands of miles apart, Tefo has always welcomed me as a brother in my few Ecuador visits. He is sharp and full of energy. He is great to get along with and is always positive. I am honored to have another one of my little brothers stand with me and be part of an amazing journey.

Papa George! Whether riding bikes as 8 year old and pretending to speak in other languages to Whiskey tastings, George has always been there when I call him. I admire George's resolve and tenacity to work hard for his family. His easy going personality and will to be advenurous always adds to the life of the party. George is marries to Gaby and has two amazing kids.

Eddy is a little younger but always part of the crew. Eddy works extremely hard and loves the three ladies in his life. He is a great dad but among the qualities that I admire most about Eddy is how he loves and takes care of my uncle and aunt. Eddy is married to Julie and has two beautiful baby girls.

Pat is a great example and a true gentleman. Growing in a house full of women, he has managed to keep it together. Not only that, but Pat had to become the MAN of the house early on. I admire his qualities and heart. He is driven, focused. I admire how he has been able to take care of his sisters and mom. Pat you are awesome!
