Yiyi, and yes, with a “Y” because I am GiGi with a “G,” is my second mom. I could not imagine walking down the aisle and not having her up front with me.

We may not share the same blood, but there is no doubt our hearts beat as one. The only thing better than having you as my little sister is having you as my maid of honor.

The endless summers running outside riding bikes and the many winters playing inside turned us into sisters.

I can’t imagine walking down the aisle without my cousin but, most importantly, my childhood playmate.

I have spent my whole life living the role of the older sister. Meeting Mark also meant that now I gained an older sister that I get to annoy as much as my younger sister annoys me.

I can’t imagine walking down the aisle without your craziness and humor.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Sam for the last 17 years of my life and watching what I can consider my older brother grow up before my eyes. Sam is someone that I know will always have my back and be there for me in my time of need. From playing video games together, to going to the park we have done everything together.

One of the many benefits to marrying Gissel is the fact that Jordany came into my life. I finally have a brother. A brother-in-law is someone who comes into your life and becomes your friend and that is exactly what you have done.

Will has been in my life for a very long time. 17 years to be exact. In those 17 years I have gained a friend that has turned into a bother. From playing videos games together to playing basketball I can do anything with him and have the best time.

Cousins are usually the first friends we have as children. I am happy to say that me and my cousin Chris have continued to be close. Although he now lives in another state I know that whenever we get together we will have a blast. He is the only one who truly understands my crazy family.
