Jeremy & Diana

Elisa is Diana’s sister and the two are absolutely inseparable. They have been through so much together and nothing could ever keep the two apart. They have always played such huge roles in each other’s lives in ways that only sisters could. Elisa was there for Diana to be the older sister that took her places, bought her the cool clothes like those fuchsia madras, letting her practice driving in the Colorado mountains, asking her to be her daughter’s godmother, seeing her performances, holding Diana’s leg when she gave birth to Luca, and now getting to be Diana’s Matron of Honor. It has been Elisa’s privilege and honor to be Diana’s older sister and friend. Love always and best wishes to the happy couple.

I had the pleasure of meeting this gorgeous bride as an infant. She played a major part in my childhood, adolescence and she continues to influence me now as an adult. We have shared so many amazing memories together from recording home videos of our “shows” in Peppermill when she babysat me to our annual Christmas dances. From the summer of Reeses and Big Girls Don’t Cry to our amazing trips to Puerto Rico and Denton, I love being locas together! From a young age Diana was always someone I looked up to. She is the kind of person everyone enjoys being around because she is so fun and lights up the room. I know that when I’m with her its bound to be the best time fill with tons of laughter. Not only is she charismatic but so intelligent and dedicated to her education. Throughout my time in undergrad and graduate school, I knew that if I was stressed she would be someone who I could call and talk to. She always knew the right things to say to help me get through those tough times when I felt like school was overwhelming. I am so proud of her for never giving up on her dreams because she has really set an example for the whole family. I am so happy to be apart of her special day and grateful to be named her maid of honor. Jermey, we welcome you and the boys to the family and we know that you will fit right in. Thank you for treating my cousin like an absolute queen with so much love, trust and respect. I wish you guys a thousand lifetimes of love and happiness. Your beautiful family deserves it and much more.

Diana and Missy have known each other since 2nd grade, but their friendship really blossomed in middle school. In high school they could be found skipping musical rehearsal to drive around listening to Sublime (not crashing into dumpsters if you’re wondering) but definitely loitering at Universal Studios. Their shared sense of humor and slightly mischievous nature turned everything into an adventure. Even a simple trip to the community pool turned into a science lab (that poor little dead frog). Although life took these ladies on different paths, every time they got together it was like no time at all had passed, deep conversations and hilarity ensued. Theirs is a true testament of a forever friendship. Missy is so excited to stand by Diana’s side on her big day.

Elisa is Diana’s goddaughter and niece. She was also chosen by Jeremy and Diana to be Luca’s godmother. Elisa could easily be everyone’s favorite teenager! That’s why this amazing girl was chosen to be one of Diana’s bridesmaids. When Elisa and her aunt Diana are together it’s always a good time. They have many memories together including holiday cookie parties, going to the beach, and always greeting each other with “Dilly!...youuuuuu!” Yes, they have many inside jokes. And are making more every day, like when they went to a bridal show and Elisa quickly took her phone out upon a Gentlemen’s dance duo in cowboy and firemen outfits hitting the stage. She did comment that they had nothing on Jeremy however, known around the family for his infamous upside down wall twerk. Elisa is looking forward to being a special part of Diana and Jeremy’s big day.

Often in life, women are lucky if they get one good friend. I was lucky enough to get an amazing cousin.
I have known Diana my whole life, she was practically there when I was born. Not only is she my family but my friend, confidant, counselor (so she thinks) and so much more. We have shared many major events in my life wether they be good or bad and I am happy and excited to share this next one together as well. 
Diana and I have gone on multilple adventures, a favorite was a secret mission at Kohls to get a great but illegal discount. Or when we were home alone with no cable and shouted “ANIMALS” with glee anytime a wildlife documentary came on.
I wish Diana and Jeremy the very best that life can offer and I can't wait to call him my cousin in-law too. And I can truly say that though Jeremy is a great catch, great man, great father, great secret keeper, and will be a great husband, he is truly the one winning the prize here. Even though he didn't ask me (rude) he truly has my blessing to marry my beautiful cousin. I love you both and welcome to the club!
