When David had Shannel be the "Woman" of Honor at his wedding, we knew we needed a special role for him on our day. David, also known as "Cousin Ortega" has been the brother Shannel has never had. Supportive and funny, don't let his looks fool you. He is 100% Puerto Rican!

Who better to be the maid of honor than the most reliable, honest, and loyal person I know? My girl Stephanie has been through it all with this bride. Meeting in 2012 in the jungles of Costa Rica, we kept in touch and went the rest of our college years together. There's no better person to be right next to me than the person who has seen me through the highest and lowest points. I am so lucky to have a friend that I get to grow with through life's chapters. Cheers to the next chapter!

Sister of the groom, soon to be sister of the bride. We are so excited to have you stand up on the big day with us. If you don't already know, Jen has the personality to bring the party and an energy that others feed off of. Watch out for this new momma because she's got style and a contagious smile you just can't miss out on!

One of the most genuine and kind people we have ever met, I knew Emma had to join me on my special day. We met at the GWCC and to work at that place means to go through the trenches together. My fellow donut-loving, chickfila obsessed, dog-lover friend just gets it.

Have you ever had a friend that was your friend before you were born? That's brides lifelong friend, Tania. Our mom's were friends before we both were even thought about. Also an only child, there are so many things we have in common. Tania has been the closest thing to a sister that I have ever had and has been another huge role model. Genuine, kind, and supportive are just a few of the amazing words that describe Tania. It's an honor to have such an amazing person in my life and standing up there with us on our big day.

Olga has been an absolute rock of support in Shannel's life. Ever since marrying "Cousin Ortega", Olga has been a ray of light. Mom to Kenneth and baby Alejandro, she has been such an idol and example to the bride. Olga's emphasis on family and motherhood has been such a joy to watch and learn from. We truly can't wait to follow in the footsteps of such a wonderful person that has brought such happiness into our lives. Thank you for choosing my cousin to be your husband and for being there on our special day!

I can't think of any other person to stand by my side as my best man. Jordan aka Jay Foss is the definition of a best friend who doesn't let you do silly things on your own. Jordan and I have been through it all since freshman year of high school. You have been there with me from ditching school to going to Denny's for free grand slams, hanging out every Sunday night to watch 24, jamming out to our favorite Kanye West album (808s Heartbreak), and to living it up and partying on Syracuse campus. Thanks for being by my side man. Can't wait to celebrate with you!

Michael is one of the most genuine, hard working, goofy, whole hearted, and overall just one hell of a brother. We have been in each other lives since we were kids and have gone through a lot in life. We went from growing up as kids and playing football and lacrosse in the backyard, going to the same high school together and you messing with me, getting in a fight on a family beach vacation, enjoying the days when you went to Cortland, road tripping across the country and to now being adults. Can't wait to have you up there by my side and to continue being in each others lives! Love ya brother

Ted and I go way back from the good ole days at St. Bonaventure. He is a pretty funny guy, smart, and always keeps you on your tip toes, just like himself. Ted fooled our college and he ended up having his own two person dorm room...he's that smart. I'm happy to call you one of my best friends. Love ya brotha!

I'll never forget when I first met Dan. It involved drinks and a airsoft marshmallow gun. I thought it was the coolest thing! To this day, I still don't know what you do for a living. He has told me so many times and I've given up understanding his IT role. I'm proud to call you my bro-in-law!

Ever since you over served me O'Douls beer at a family cook out, I thought you were a pretty cool guy and lucky to have you in my life. Before my dad passed away, he whispered in your ear "Syracuse" which meant he wanted you to keep any eye on my sister and myself while we grew up. There's no better person to be by my side than Marc who has seen me through some of the highest and lowest points in my life. I can't wait to celebrate this special day with you!
