Our Wedding

Detalles


Nos vamos a casar en un hotel histórico, por lo que algunas de las calles de los alrededores están empedradas (solo un aviso para nuestros amig@s de tacón alto). ¡No se requiere vestimenta formal pero se agradece! Sin embargo, siéntase libre de vestirse con algo cómodo, ¡ya que Cartagena es caliente! La noche tiende a ser un poco ventosa, por lo que es posible que deba traer algo para ponerse cuando caiga la noche.

Anna Cheung has been my best friend for over a decade and will be closer to 15 years at the time of Jaime and I's wedding.&nbsp;Anna has quite truly been the quintessential friend in all of my times of need, and always one of the first people I call for the best of times. Amongst all of her many fabulous traits, I love her honesty, realist perspective, and how she&nbsp;knows when to give me a dose of tough love or when to just be a shoulder to lean on.&nbsp;She is the most caring, empathetic, generous person I know...ask anyone else who knows her and they would for sure say the same!&nbsp;A friendship that has persevered for as long as ours has is honestly&nbsp;one of my most treasured relationships throughout my entire life.&nbsp;I love how our friendship has evolved over the years, and I always reminisce on our super fun past memories and look forward to the many to come in the future.&nbsp;Your personality is unmatched and I am so lucky to have a best friend like you. I know you'll be the best Maid of Honor because you'll know exactly how to calm my nerves when I'm rushing through my makeup, while also pumping me up for the day to unfold.&nbsp;It was never a question in my mind who my Maid of Honor would be on Jaime and I's special day.&nbsp;I love you chica bonita!

Where you'll find Anna at the wedding: Wherever the food is at!&nbsp;We have a very profoundly appreciative&nbsp;relationship with our food, especially empanadas! =D

I met Betsy through our Ring Bearers Roberto and Diana about nine, almost 10 years ago&nbsp;when they invited me to the first Latino club night I had ever been to. Needless to say I am so happy that I met these crazy kids but especially Betsy. Betsy is such a wonderful combination of strength, beauty, and playfulness.&nbsp;Truthfully, selecting my bridal party was quite easy&nbsp;for me. I wanted my bridal party to be centered around who was an important part of Jaime and I's lives when we met and still are to this day. In fact, when I met Jaime in the fall of 2012 and&nbsp;was nervous for Jaime and I's first 'date' (nervous;&nbsp;largely in part to&nbsp;Diana and Robert...thanks guys! Lol),&nbsp;one of the first&nbsp;people I turned to was&nbsp;Betsy.&nbsp;She immediately met me with excitement and calming&nbsp;advice. One of her words of advice that quite possibly could be the main reason Jaime decided to stick around was this: "Carissa, Jaime is probably gonna buy you a drink, and if he does, you have to accept it...even if you don't drink it all, you have to accept it because Spanish guys have pride." Needless to say, that is exactly what I did so I have Betsy to thank!&nbsp;To this day, I know I can turn to her at any given time for her support or just&nbsp;to&nbsp;ask her if she's wearing a dress to go to the club&nbsp;(inside joke). Thank you for being a part of my bridal party!

Where you'll find Betsy at the wedding: If she's not dancing, she'll be wherever&nbsp;the most scenic areas of the venue are taking super&nbsp;model-esque IG&nbsp;photos because she's stunning!&nbsp;

Carissa Andrea is not only the cutest baby in the world but we get to call her our God daughter. When selecting our wedding party it was of course no question who would be our flower girl. Though we were not physically&nbsp;in Colombia when she was born, we overjoyed when she finally blessed our family with her presence. What's more, is that&nbsp;not only is she obviously Carissa's namesake but&nbsp;her mother so honorably asked us to be her God parents and we of course said "Yes!." Though we are separated by physical distance she is always near to our hearts.&nbsp;She has filled a&nbsp;space in our family that we didn't know was missing and she brings such joy to our family. We cannot wait to see our sweet Carissa Andrea walk down the aisle as our flower girl.&nbsp;Carissa Andrea no solo es la bebé más linda del mundo, sino que podemos llamarla nuestra ahijada. No había duda de quién sería nuestra pajecita.&nbsp;Aunque no estábamos físicamente en Colombia cuando nació, nos alegramos mucho cuando finalmente bendijo a nuestra familia con su presencia. Cabe anotar que&nbsp;no solo es obviamente "la tocaya"&nbsp;de Carissa, sino que su madre nos pidió honradamente que fuéramos sus padrinos y, por supuesto, dijimos "¡Sí!". Aunque estamos separados por la distancia física, ella siempre está cerca de nuestros corazones. Ella ha llenado un espacio en nuestra familia que no sabíamos que faltaba y trae tanta alegría. No podemos esperar a ver a nuestra dulce Carissa Andrea caminar por el pasillo como nuestra niña de las flores.

Oh, what can I say about Rrrrrroberto? It is thanks to Roberto that I had met such an amazing group of friends at Stony Brook University and that they are a part of my bridal party almost 10 years later, and of course he was one of my best friends at Stony Brook. Though Robert is everyone's personal prankster, I will eternally be thankful and love&nbsp;that he immediately started immersing me in Latino (more specifically, Dominican culture) Sure, he tricked me into saying inappropriate Dominican slang terms to the cashiers at Kelly Dining but he also&nbsp;taught me how to dance and&nbsp;that truly opened up a whole new world for me. Though it may sound trivial, when Roberto and I first met the first few times we hung out, he was&nbsp;teaching me how to dance Salsa, Merengue, and Bachata. It is because of that,&nbsp;he then&nbsp;invited me out with his friends who soon became my friends as well who are also a part of my bridal party. At one point, at least a year before I even met Jaime, we were casually talking and Robert asked me (paraphrased), "If you could marry a Spanish guy, what would you want your last name to be?" to which I replied, "I don't know, Rodriguez!" Then, flash forward a few years&nbsp;into Jaime and I's relationship, Robert so charmingly reminded me, "Hey China (my nickname), do you remember when I asked you what your last name would be if you married a Spanish guy?." Then my heart was flooded with serendipity. For this, and many more reasons is why I felt Robert was a more than appropriate person to be one of Jaime and I's Ring Bearers. Also, Robert's reaction to what I have just written&nbsp;is DEFINITELY going to be one of two things...

A) Tease me&nbsp;for being so sappy&nbsp;and mushy.



OR



B) Be the total opposite and tell me "China, I would never make fun of you like that" with a smirk on his face! LOL



OR&nbsp;BONUS...



C) Just simply&nbsp;thank me for the kind words,&nbsp;or say nothing so that I'm completely wrong about his reaction&nbsp; =P

Where you'll find Roberto at the wedding: DANCE&nbsp;FLOOR!

Robert Abreu

Well, you can't have one without the other. Throughout our Stony Brook days, Diana and Roberto were a package deal, if you saw one of them alone, the other was&nbsp;probably was hiding behind something to scare you a second later lol! I love that although&nbsp;Diana definitely&nbsp;has her silly, almost mischievous side, but don't let her fool you...she also has a warm, patient, and understanding side to her. For example, one night,&nbsp;after I ran, fell on the pavement,&nbsp;she AND Robert&nbsp;laughed&nbsp;at me but&nbsp;she was also&nbsp;right there to pick me up! In a way, I feel that's her personal brand of seeing the bright side in everything.&nbsp;She'll be one of the first people to help someone in need,&nbsp;or someone you can turn to to make&nbsp;a quick decision. Diana, thank you&nbsp;for laughing AT&nbsp;me, but also with me for these many years of friendship! I will always be so appreciative of how you played such an important role in...navigating my jitters in my interactions with Jaime when we first met. But seriously, thank you so much for simply being you...I could not imagine any one else to present&nbsp;Jaime and I's rings at our wedding!

Where you'll find Diana at the wedding: You either won't be able to find her or she'll be at the bar people watching until she has deemed the song worthy enough to dance to =D

Jeremy is my younger brother who I basically did not give him an option to not be one of Jaime's groomsmen. Though Jeremy and I did not grow up together in the traditional sense, we have become friends as young adults. He and I could not be more different but we are always&nbsp;able to come together in the worst and best of times.&nbsp;Our comraderie&nbsp;is&nbsp;less based on words of affirmation but&nbsp;more on the mutual respect, and appreciation we have for each other. Since Jaime and I have known each other, it is my perspective that their brotherly relationship is basically effortless but also that I have seen Jeremy knows that he can look to Jaime for guidance at times.&nbsp; I appreciate how seamlessly Jeremy has accepted Jaime into our family (although, Jeremy probably knew he didn't have a choice anyway lol).&nbsp;He is a brilliant young man and I look forward to having him be a part of Jaime and I's special day.&nbsp;

Where you'll find Jeremy at the wedding: Explaining to our Dad what is happening, or what food he's about to eat.&nbsp;

Cartagena, Colombia is a sentimental place for us as we have vacationed there several times, and of course because this charming city is in Jaime's beautiful home country&nbsp;Colombia&nbsp;.&nbsp;Cartagena is a place where there's something to do for every&nbsp;globe trotter. Whether you're a history buff and want to explore the historic, picturesque walled city (where the wedding is located), or want to go on a day long beach excursion to white sand beaches. We have linked a website with resources of things to do if you want to see all that Cartagena has to offer, but also please feel free to reach out to us to recommendations. We hope all of our guests will fall in love with this city as we have!
