I met Hector (Jando) for the first time during football our freshman year in high school. He invited me to community group, and since my commute to school was 30 minutes from home one way, I stayed the night and met his family. Since then, Jando has been a brother to me, along with being a part of the Herrera family. I am grateful to have him as my best man. I love you, Jando!

Falyn and I grew up together even though we were sometimes apart by several hours, we were always there for each other. She has taken the sister role in my life, without ever being related. Since we were kids, we've been dreaming of the day where we would help plan each others weddings, and now it's here. She's my best friend, my ride-or-die, and I'm beyond blessed to have her as my maid of honor.

Matthew is soon to be my brother-in-law, although I call him a brother already. Competitive spirit, level head, and patriot at heart. I love you, Matthew!

One of my future sister-in-law's! Anna shares my love of games (and competitiveness - game nights are always a treat). Anna's a very funny person and she's been so helpful during the wedding process, I'm so excited that I'll get the treat of her empanadas at the future family gatherings.

My older brother. My siblings and I are blessed to have him. He was our shield growing up and protected us. His laughter and smile are infectious. I love you, Joaquin!

So excited to say that Bella is also one of my future sister-in-law's! She's such a fun person to be around and cares for people so deeply. So glad that she said yes to being a bridesmaid!

My younger brother. I'm proud of the hardworking young man that he is. Although he is much stronger than I am, I will remain faster for the foreseeable future. I love you, Benjamin!

Faith and I met in my sophomore year of college and immediately bonded over our love of books. She's always been one of my biggest supporters, and I'm so grateful to know her. She's also one of the people that led me to my church, and I would not be where I am today without her.

Canyun and I were fast runners in sports. We shared time in football and track under gold medals. I'm proud of who he has become. I'm grateful to have Canyun as a groomsman. I love you, Canyun!

Grace and I met in high school, and over the years, she's become one of the people I can rant to about nursing school, life, and everything else. I'm so grateful for our friendship, and I'm so thankful she said yes to being one of my bridesmaids!
