Meet the Bridal Party
Elexa & Natalie
Our story began in 2022 with a simple moment that turned into something unforgettable. What started as two lives crossing paths quickly became a partnership rooted in love, endless laughter, and a bond that feels like home.
Through every season, we’ve chosen each other—and we can’t wait to choose each other forever. Together, we’ve built a life full of joy, and we’re so excited to celebrate the next chapter surrounded by the people we love most.
Maid of Honor
Kassandra silva
The eldest sister of the Silva family, she loves hard and protects her people even harder. Strong, compassionate, and genuine, she’s the kind of sister and friend who always stands in your corner. Her heart is as big as her presence, and we feel so lucky to call her family.
Gaining her as a bonus sister has been one of the sweetest parts of natalie’s journey. their bond grew naturally, filled with laughter, support, and genuine care—and natalie’s so grateful their relationship became something so special.
Having her as Maid of Honor feels like the perfect reflection of the family natalie & elexa are building together.
Best Woman
Rosario Morales
She’s been a longtime childhood friend of Elexa’s—which means she has stories that may or may not be allowed in speeches—and somewhere along the way she became one of natalie’s closest friends too. Loyal and endlessly supportive, she has walked alongside the brides through every chapter of their relationship. She has the kind of humor that makes even the most stressful moments feel light, and she’s been that steady, hilarious presence in their lives from the very beginning. The fact that she made the marriage official is something they’ll cherish forever—it feels only right that someone who’s witnessed the entire journey helped begin this new chapter.
Bridesmaids & Bridesmen
Alejandro “Alex” Garcia
Plenty of people walk into your life in high school, but it’s rare to find the ones who never walk out—and Alex is one of those people for Elexa. Years later, their friendship is still going strong, built on loyalty, laughter, and the kind of bond that only grows with time.
A true car enthusiast through and through, Alex’s pride and joy is his car, “Toothless”—a name that says everything about the personality he brings to the things he loves. Whether he’s under the hood or just showing up for his people, Alex brings a steady, easygoing energy that we’ve come to cherish. We couldn’t imagine this day without him by our side.
Day Peña
Natalie has had the joy of knowing Day for over two years now, and what started as coworkers quickly grew into a friendship she truly treasures. Day has the kindest heart, an incredibly steady loyalty, and a warmth that makes everyone feel safe and seen. Sharing both friendship and community as fellow queer humans makes their bond even more special, and the brides are so grateful to have them standing beside them on such a special day.
Jazmin Johnson
Jazmin has been a beloved friend for as long as Natalie can remember. Her warmth, generosity, and ability to light up every room make her truly special. Warm, generous, and easygoing, she makes everyone around her feel comfortable—even if it takes a moment for her to fully let her heart shine. She has shared in countless memories, offered endless encouragement, and brought joy into every stage of life—and Natalie is so grateful to have her by her side.
JoseHernandez
Jose is the perfect mix of funny and effortlessly silly—if there’s laughter nearby, he is sure to be there. The kind of person who can make anyone laugh within minutes, his love for Marvel and all things comics means there’s never a shortage of superhero references or passionate debates. Behind the humor is a genuinely loyal friend who has been a great supporter of the brides throughout their entire relationship, and they could not imagine their special day without him.
Gaston Gonzalez
Some of the best friendships start in unexpected places—like Chipotle. What began with a simple introduction quickly grew into years of laughter, loyalty, and shared memories. His Houston charm and easygoing spirit are sure to add lots of laughter and warmth to every room he walks into.
A devoted sports lover who can always be counted on to cheer the loudest, he brings that same passion and loyalty into his role as a proud and loving dad. The brides are beyond grateful to have him at their side.
Indra Garcia
Making friends as adults doesn’t always come easy, and friendships surprise you in odd places. Meeting Indra through Gaston was one of those moments for us. From the very beginning, she fit so effortlessly into our lives and quickly became someone we genuinely love being around.
A devoted mom and a true guiding presence, Indra keeps Gaston steady & in line while still making everyone around her feel cared for. Her love of the Cowboys adds just the right amount of playful rivalry and is the perfect match for Gaston’s excitement surrounding sports. Her humor and her maternal spirit are something we admire so much. We feel incredibly lucky to know her and are so happy to have her by our side on this special day.
Preston Steinbrink
Known for his sarcasm & easygoing humor, Preston brings laughter and energy wherever he goes. A die-hard Longhorns fan, he never misses a chance to show his team spirit—or crack a joke at the perfect moment. He’s always been there to offer a helping hand with anything—especially safely transporting Elexa (mostly safely) across long distances for Chipotle meetings—and has been a great support in their lives. Preston is a beloved friend, and the brides feel so honored to have him be a part of their wedding.
(Unofficially known as the “destroyer of commercial ice machines")
Rachel Cedillo
Rachel came into the brides’ lives through Jose, but it didn’t take long for her to become so much more than just his other half—she’s truly become one of their most cherished relationships. Together, they balance each other perfectly, and it’s been so special to get to know Rachel both alongside Jose and as her own vibrant, unforgettable self.
Rachel is always cheerful, rarely seen without a smile, and has a natural way of making everyone around her feel comfortable and welcome. She’s also an incredible cook—her empanadas and fresas con crema are just a couple of the many ways she shows love to those around her. Whether she’s sharing a laugh, quoting The Office, or simply being her genuine self, Rachel brings so much joy to our circle. The brides feel so lucky to have her standing with us on our special day.
