David Sanchez - Best Man
My name is David Sanchez, and I’m Ronald’s younger brother. As the youngest in the family, we grew up together surrounded by strong family values and a lot of shared memories that I truly cherish. Family has always been at the center of my life, which makes celebrating this next chapter with Ronald and his partner especially meaningful. I’m grateful to be part of this special day and to celebrate with everyone here.
Juan Sanchez - Best Man
This is my best man, my brother from day one. Super happy he will be part of this big day!
Mabel Vallejo - Maid of Honor
Nos conocimos a los 18, cuando yo llegaba tarde y con cara de dormida (como siempre) a la primera clase de autoconocimiento. Y ahí estabas tú, con tu mega mochila, tus pantalones hippies (como olvidarlos) y esa sonrisa de “no entiendo nada, pero finjo que sí”. Te pregunté la hora y desde ese momento no nos volvimos a soltar.
¡Y ahora te casas! 😱 Qué alegría verte tan feliz y radiante. Aunque la distancia nos separe, cada vez que nos reencontramos es como si siguiéramos siendo esas chicas nuevas en la universidad, riéndonos de cualquier tontería. Y cómo olvidar nuestro viaje a Manta, pensando que íbamos a farrear sin parar… pero al final no podíamos ni salir a la esquina por tus papás. Igual nos reímos tanto que terminó siendo inolvidable.
Solo quiero decirte que me siento la más afortunada de tenerte como mejor amiga. Y tranquila, que nuestra villita de viejitas chismosas y con café en mano sigue en pie. 💕
Javier Ramos - Groomsmen
My people, I’m being forced to write this—please send help. One Sanchez I can handle, but NOT two.
Before Ronald puts me in a headlock (mini Rock energy), I’m Javier—Javy with a Y. Miami-Dade born, proud Puerto Rican, married with three kids. I love baseball, cars, racing, and coding. My wife says I’m compulsive, but I call it culture.
Ronald and I met at ChenMed, cleaning up data chaos together and bonding over “team meetings” at the bar. We went from coworkers to brothers fast.
Even after leaving the company, we still talk almost daily—and survived one gym session where Ronald nearly turned my arms into permanent T-Rex mode.
That’s us in a nutshell. Ronald isn’t just a friend; he’s family. Can’t wait to celebrate with you all!
Zoe Vivanco - Bridesmaid
Gaby no solo es mi hermana, es mi cómplice de compras en Victoria’s Secret y la persona a la que le he contado cosas que jamás le diría a nadie más. Con ella siempre hay risas, apoyo incondicional y ese cariño que solo se construye con el tiempo, claro y siempre acompañada de Ron, brindando un ambiente más familiar.
Ver a Gaby y Ron juntos me recuerda que el amor real existe: se apoyan en todo, siempre piensan en el otro y hacen que cualquiera quiera tener una relación así. Estoy segurísima de que su boda será como una escena de High School Musical: todos cantando, bailando y celebrando su historia de amor.
Así que prepárense, porque yo Zoe la dama de honor me encontraré en la pista de baile toda la noche!!

Isabella Vivanco - Bridesmaid
My beloved first sister, I don’t remember when or how I met her, because she has always been there for me since I was a baby. Ever since I can remember she has always been there for me in every single possible way. Such a loving wonderful person, full of talents and so wise in so many ways. I know I can always count on Gaby with any type of advice in any way. Throughout my lifetime I have shared so many incredible memories with Gabi. My personal favorite was this one time when Gabi brought her paddle board to the beach and we got stuck for almost an hour because of the strong current! That day was full of panic and laughs. I love my sister so much and I am so blessed to have been able to attend this wedding and see her life full of love with Ron officially start!
Arjun Atipahti - Groomsmen
Hello, my name is Arjun. Ron and I first met while working at ChenMed, and from day one we clicked as colleagues and friends. What started as work conversations quickly turned into a genuine friendship built on laughs, good talks, alcohol and plenty of memorable moments. Ron has always been someone I could count on, always reliable, supportive, and pushing those around him to be better. I’m truly honored to stand by his side today, and I couldn’t be happier for him and Gaby as they begin this next chapter together. Congratulations to you both!
Samy Vivanco - Bridesmaid
Hey I am Sami and I’m Gabi‘s younger sister. Gabi is my half sister but for all my life she’s been my complete older sister and has cared for me for the time she knows me. I thank God for being able to have Gabi , because she is so nice and smart mentally and intelligently. Gabi has done so many things for me I can’t thank her enough for always being there for me, and Isita, and just turning into my sister since the moment I knew her. My favorite thing about Gabi is she is super positive all the time, which Ron is so lucky to have. In all my memories with Gabi I just remeber her smile and her really funny laugh she has. I love you Gabi💕
Olga Cardenas - Bridesmaid
Soy Olga Cárdenas, y tengo el maravilloso prestigio de ser dama de honor para alguien que ha sido más que familia: una hermana del alma.
Gaby no es solo parte de mi familia.
Es ese tipo de persona que llega a tu vida y la transforma.
Cuando llegué a US, ella me abrazó sin dudarlo,
me hizo sentir en casa, incluso cuando todo era nuevo.
Desde entonces, ha sido como una hermana para mí.
Nuestra historia no cabe en un solo recuerdo.
Es una colección de momentos, risas, silencios compartidos y caminos recorridos.
Y si algo puedo decir de ella, es que siempre ha sido fuerte,
auténtica, brillante y profundamente humana.
Toda una constelación en el firmamento que, aún en medio de la noche, te ilumina al igual que el sol de mediodía.
Tener el honor de verla empezar esta nueva etapa con alguien que realmente la honra, que respeta su luz y camina a su lado,
que es aquel espejo en momentos de duda,
con amor y propósito,
me llena de dicha.
Estoy orgullosa de la mujer que es,
y feliz de estar aquí, celebrando el amor que encontró,
el hogar que está construyendo,
y la paz que se merece.
