Rachel:
These girls are so near and dear to me. I've had them picked as my bridesmaids the minute I decided I was actually going to marry someone someday. I always said "I hope my fiance doesn't have any sisters, because 6 bridesmaids is too many!" Well Jesus does have three AMAZING sisters that will be included in other starring roles during our wedding ceremony. I just couldn't say no to 'my girls'

Jesus: My family is everything to me. I chose my brothers as my groomsmen because there is no friend that could take the place of my family.

Shaena Rowland

Maid of Honor

Shaena and I have been friends since kindergarten!!! She is an amazing woman, full of life and a friend to everyone she meets. My favorite memory with Shaena (there are TOO many to choose from) but I just loved going over to her house when we were kids. She had a dog (I didn't) RIP Lady!, she was an only child (I wasn't), and she had a trundle bed!! So cool! But she would always sleep until noon when I slept over, so my parents would come pick me up and she would still be sleeping. Silly girl. Obviously that is the most innocent of our memories...the rest are sworn to secrecy !
Currently Shaena is the Marketing Director for Kenny's Restaurant Group in Dallas Texas. Find them at

Theresa Kellar

Maid of Honor
Theresa is my baby sister. A lovely 16 year old young lady. We chose her as a maid of honor because she and Jesus get along so well. Even though she never had a brother, Theresa plays it so cool around Jesus I feel like a third wheel!
My favorite memory with Theresa is probably one day when my mom and I were sitting out on the front porch watching a rain storm roll by. Theresa, who enjoys being the center of attention in our family bursts through the front door, runs out into the rain and starts singing "I'm singing in the rain, just singing in the rain...." What else would she sing right? As you can tell this chick lights up any room of the house she is in. I can't wait for her performance at our wedding!

Currently Theresa is a Sophomore at Richardson High School. She is enrolled in the Theatre Magnet Program.

Juan Carlos Martinez

Best Man
Juan Carlos is my youngest brother. He was married in the summer of 2011 in Lubbock to Veronica, Gabby's sister. They live in Lubbock and are expecting their first child in October. 'Carlos', as he's known, is enrolled in Texas Tech Health Science Center Graduate program earning his graduate degree in speech pathology. He works as the office manager for St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Lubbock TX with Fr. Martin Pina.

Carlos and Jesus enjoy traveling together. They have been many places, but most memorable: Mexico, California, San Antonio, Las Vegas, New Mexico and they plan on traveling with their wives in the future!

Jessica Kellar

Bridesmaid

Jessica is my 23 year old sister. I couldn't imagine not having her stand by me on my wedding day. My favorite memory with Jessica is when our family went to The Pines Catholic Camp for a family weekend camping trip. It was just the four of us (Theresa wasn't born yet). We were so excited to be camping with our parents and we got to sleep on the top bunks while our parents were on the bottom bunks. As soon as we got up on the bunk bed we start unpacking. The funny thing is we packed our suitcases full of books!! We put then on display lining our beds and looked like the biggest pair of book worms. I'm sure we did more than read books on that trip, but it was pretty funny that we both packed tons of books to keep us company. Reading is a great and healthy hobby I'm sure we'll continue throughout our lives together!

Jessica is currently enrolled in culinairy school in Dallas and is working at Chipotle.

Maddie Acosta

Bridesmaid




 
Maddie is a friend of mine from St. Mary's University. We were in the same calculus class and rumor has it she didn't like me at first, but I guess I warmed up to her. (I hope I did!) Maddie is in every one of my college memories. If I was to pick a favorite memory from college it would have her in it. She is so level headed and independent, I am honored to call her a friend. I can lean on her for anything and she knows everything about me.

Originally from Albuquerque New Mexico, Maddie is currently earning her Nurse Practitioner degree in Miami, FL.



Gabby Estrada

Bridesmaid
Gabby is also a friend I met at St. Mary's University. As you read in 'Our Story' it is because of Gabby that Jesus and I met. Gabby is the kindest person I have ever met. My favorite memory with Gabby, other than our college days, was probably her wedding day. It was an amazing experience being with Gabby on such a special day in her life. It was an honor to stand by her side as her bridesmaid. And who could forget what happened AFTER the wedding. ayayay!

Gabby is a 2nd grade teacher at a Catholic elementary school in San Antonio. Her husband is a middle school math teacher at the same school!


Ally Gump

Bridesmaid





 
Ally and I have been friends ever since she enrolled at St. Paul's. We were both in girl scouts together, we were both in sports and we both went to Catholic Heart Work Camp (service immersion trips) throughout high school together. Ally is my travel buddy. We have been to so many different places together: Destin, FL; Mobile, AL; Harlingen, TX; St. Louis, MO; Miami, FL; PK Lake....we have so much fun together I hope we can continue to travel until we are old and grey!

Ally currently works as a commercial realtor with Colliers and recently ran the Boston Marathon!
