Our Wedding

Some love stories don’t begin with sparks or grand gestures. Ours began with a friendship. For 20 years, we grew side by side — through awkward phases, big dreams, heartbreaks, laughter, and life changing moments. We watched each other become who we are today. No pressure. No rush. Just trust, loyalty, and a bond that never faded. What started as comfort slowly became something deeper. Somewhere between late-night talks, inside jokes, and always showing up for each other, Over time, we realized this wasn’t just a long story — it was our place. And now, after 20 years of friendship, we’re choosing each other forever…………………………………………………………Algunas historias de amor no comienzan con chispas ni grandes gestos.La nuestra comenzó con una amistad.Durante 20 años, crecimos juntos, a través de etapas difíciles, grandes sueños, desamores, risas y momentos que cambiaron nuestras vidas. Nos vimos convertirnos en quienes somos hoy. Sin presiones. Sin prisas. Solo confianza, lealtad y un vínculo que nunca se desvaneció.Lo que comenzó como una simple amistad se convirtió poco a poco en algo más profundo. Entre conversaciones hasta altas horas de la noche, bromas internas y estar siempre el uno para el otro, con el tiempo nos dimos cuenta de que esto no era solo una larga historia, era nuestro lugar.Y ahora, después de 20 años de amistad, nos elegimos el uno al otro para siempre.

Friendship to forever 

Our Story/Nuesta historia

Photos/Fotos

Meli’s youngest sister - Throughout the years we've gone from laughter to fighting and growing up together. The one who knew Carlos was the one for me before I did.  A huge 49er fan, which leads to a lot of back and forth between her and Carlos, but regardless he's happy she's his SIL in the end.

Daniela 

Carlos cousin but reality is he’s always been the big brother I’ve always looked up to and tried to be like.  Cherish every moments shared immensely.  There was no question on this day he’d have to be my best man!

Israel 

I’ve known this girl since high school and over all the years she’s been more than just a close friend. Having her as my bridesmaid means I get to celebrate this new chapter with someone who’s known me through it all. To my lifelong partner in crime - thank you for everything. 

Carolina 

My brother from another mother! I could go on for days with the stories through the years, but has been my partner in crime for many years.  So many life events, trips, waking up at his Tia’s house not knowing where I was.  Truly have grown together and learned from each other.  Thankful to have you be a part of another huge life moment!

Victor 

My bridesmaid is not only a dear friend of mine but she has witnessed our journey from the very beginning—through every laugh, challenge, and milestone. Her unwavering support and genuine love for both of us have been a source of strength throughout this entire adventure. She’s more than just a bridesmaid; she’s family, and we are so grateful to share this moment with her.

Gina 

My brother in law (married to my best friend Gina),truly an amazing person, an amazing father to their boys, and always willing to help anyway and anytime.  My go to person for advice with any home projects, has saved and given me so much confidence to be a “fix it” guy.  Also, he’s top tier bbqer, which just gives us more excuses to catch up about and have some beers.  

Casey 

My comadre in law is not only the Nina to Jeamie but has a serious love for sports. Also, one with impeccable taste in alcohol—basically, she’s the perfect mix of love, good vibes, fun, and fierce team spirit. Having her by our side means this day is sure to be full of heart… and maybe a few perfectly poured drinks too.

Connie 

Mi compadre! (Jeamie’s nino), but also one of my closest friends for  over 20+ years.  Fun fact he’s also known Meli since Jr high, so he’s close to us both.  Always a fun time, whether it’s grabbing a Henry’s special, chatting about sports, or just hanging out cooking and making drinks.  Doesn’t matter what we get into the fun and laughs never ends!

Juan 

My bridesmaid who is also Carlos' youngest sister, therefore my soon to be sister-in-law—I’ve known her since she was little, and she’s not just family, she’s also the kitchen genius who might just bake her way into everyone’s hearts. Always there for us without question and we are grateful to have you be a part of this day with us.

Ceci

My primo in law! From the moment we first met he was instantly family.  An amazing cook and a true wine expert.  But can’t forget he’s from Bahston and a fan of the Red Sox.  So you know he’s kind of a big deal to Meli and I.

Paul 

With hearts full of gratitude, we chose to have our ceremony officiated by a close friend of many years—someone who always rooted for us. There is no one more fitting to lead us into forever.

Eloy

Of course this day would not be complete without a big part of our family, Jeamie!! She’s Carlos blessing and beyond happy to officially become her step mom.  She has a passion for so much and such a big heart that she always looks for me and her dad to join in her creativity.  This day isn’t just a big moment for her dad and I but it’s also just as meaningful for her as she’s been looking forward to this day for a long time when we officially become a family!
