Almost 20 years of friendship between me and this girl right here!
…
We have been through it all. All the awkward stages in high school, skipping class, sneaking out to parties, and “caking” with boys! Haha. Becca and I have remained friends through such monumental moments in each others lives and this day will be no different with her right by my side as I say “I do”. I got to be next to her on her special day and I can’t wait for her to be next to me on mine. Becca has been one of the greatest best friends a girl could ever have. I am beyond blessed to not only call her friend, but my sister!

Ten years of friendship but feels like forever!
…
Far too many good times to count with this one. We met in the ER and became instant friends. We have seen each other through countless ups and downs over the last ten years. Boyfriends, breakups, engagements, marriage, and kids. Over the years she gained the title of being my “lighter half”, “my twin”, and even together as “Thing 1 and Thing 2”. We have traveled the world together and have had the most insane yet amazing experiences. Now we are both settled into our families and living down the street from your best friend, 10/10 recommend! So blessed to have you by my side on my special day, the sister I got to choose.

My sister, my pain in the butt!

My sister, my pain in the butt. As different as we are, you have been the constant in my life. I love our relationship because we can fight one minute and want to hang out the next. Thank you for always keeping all my secrets from Mom, even though I always ended up telling on myself anyway LOL! I can’t wait to have you by my side on my special day!

My sister-in-law!

Thank you so much for all the support you have shown me and your brother. I am so excited to have you right up there with us as we say “I do”.

My not so little sister!
…
My not so little sister! I love how our relationship has blossomed over the last few years. You have become such a beautiful and inspiring young woman, Dad would be proud. I am so honored to have you by my side as I marry my best friend.

My little best friend…
You became my little best friend the day you were born. I was obsessed with having you all the time as a baby. You have grown up to be such a beautiful young lady and you are definitely my niece with your expensive taste and good cooking skills. I cannot believe you are an adult now and able to stand next to me on my wedding day but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Big Broski will always have my respect and gratitude…
Carlos’s big brother who has always been the biggest support any sibling could ask for.
Ever since the 5th grade, you’ve been that one person I could always call up and talk to no matter the topic. And though you would fall asleep on me during our convos, you always found a way to answer my question and point me in the right direction. 😅 Love you Bro

Brother from Another…
Might be one of my longest and favorite friendships! Mr. Charles and I went to battling high schools until one day, an opportunity presented itself for him to snag me…and he succeeded after literally chasing me down while on a run.
Since High school, he’s been like the other brother I never had. I’m fortunate to have had the Plasencia’s Squad in my life as you guys helped build me into the person I am today. Though we have moved throughout the country over the years, we have never lost touch, and for that, I am grateful of our 21-Year friendship.

This award-winning businessman, and Founder…
This award-winning businessman, and Founder of Route 7 Orlando, Inc., offered me my first full-time job out of college, which I can attribute my career in sports to him! We first met freshman year in Gainsville as the UF Track Team met up, and we’ve been cool ever since.
It wasn’t until after college, in our early young-adult years where we really connected on life goals and ideals. It was during that time which or friendship cemented itself. I could always hit him up and vice versa, through the best and worst of times. Thank you for the friendship, the mentorship, and being such a humble person.

Florida Track Phi Track represent! One of Carlos’s best friends, Michelle has always brought positive vibes and fun to all situations. With a friendship spanning over 15 years, it’s great to have someone who has shared up’s and down’s.
Thanks for being such an honest and humble person and friend.

Together, We Grew…
This Nigerian Prince kept me on my A-Game back on the UF Track & Field team, besting my 800 meter time in the process.
He was my only roomate post college, training hard, working hard, and keeping me out of trouble. Looking forward to sharing yet another good time, Robin!
Damian
Dame The Wise
Our bestest Friend…
Our bestest mutual friend of many years, Mr. Cooke has been a vital member in both our lives as a friend and mentor. We each knew Damian, but not one another. He is the bridge which connects us.
His wisdom from traveling the world could put him on a TV show, probably called Damian’s Logic. We would be honored to have you share this day with us.

My new friend!

My new friend, and husband of the Matron of Honor, Mr. Barrios gave me the “Brother talk” about how great my Bride is, offer his knowledge of knowing her for years. I thank you for those kind words, because look, we did it! I look forward to growing our friendship as our families continue grow!
