Wedding Ceremony & Reception

Our Wedding

Max and Vane caught each other’s eye through mutual friends. Back in 2022, they met at a friend’s house (thanks Miriam!). Then later that year, Max got invited to a small dinner at Vane’s house, where he noted that she had many attractive qualities. As time passed, eventually they started spending more time together. Then, Max asked her out for coffee, which became coffee + sushi + walmart. On that walmart trip, Vane was very pleased with how Max helped her pick out lasagna ingredients, and she appreciated that they could enjoy every-day activities with each other. At the end of the evening, Max expressed his interest to Vane. After some thoughts, prayers and traditional overthinking XD, Vane was honest with herself and let him know she’d be interested too :) And the rest is history! The above photo was taken a couple of weeks before Max and Vane started dating. Featuring (from left to right): Jenny, Aftab, Liz, and Blaine

I’m keeping the plans we have at the end of the month!

Our Story

Photos

Yadira is Vane’s only sister. Affectionately called “Nena” by her siblings, and “big sissy” by Vane, Yadira has always been the person Vane has turned to first when she is facing a problem. Although Vane doesn’t always admit it, it’s usually Nena’s advice and good example that help her to get back on track. Yadira is known for her generosity and hospitality, but also her adventurousness and tendency for mischief (as all the Herrera kids naturally do). 

Yadira Carella

Jon was Max’s roommate for 2.5 years. In that period Jon and Max could always be found together at a party, playing baseball, or at the gym. Jon is a hard worker and a trusted friend. He can also give you the freshest fade of your life. 

Jon Guerrero

Marisa is Vane’s best friend of 12 years. They bonded over brunch at First Watch in Ohio, and to this day it is one of their favorite activities. Vane is confident Jehovah placed her in her life to strengthen her through some of the toughest times. Marisa is one of the kindest and non-judgmental souls you’ll ever meet, but she will also let you know you’re being unreasonable when needed ;)

Blaine and Max worked together for over 7 years. Blaine is one of the most generous people you will meet, and he can make you die laughing (intentionally or otherwise) or share just what you need to be encouraged. We appreciate Blaine for his love and loyalty.
