I’ve known Pedro (Peter) for about three years, but it feels like a decade when I include the depth of the experiences we’ve had. We met through playing Pokémon, and the hobby has also strengthened our friendship and the bonds we’ve made with others. He’s become both a close friend and a keystone of guidance, laughter, and comfort to me in the short time that we’ve known one another. Michelle is someone that I immediately felt a mutual respect and friendship with. There are times when Peter and I match the same delinquent humor and that worries her, but I like to think she’s also reassured that we’re on opposite ends of a lifeline, one pulling the other and anchoring for balance when needed. I’m honored to be a part of the greatest moments in both of these wonderful friends’ lives.

I’m Michelle’s favorite oldest sister. I’ve know Shell her whole life and have a lot of great memories playing games together. I don’t remember meeting Pedro (Peter), it’s like he’s always been a part of our family. I’m so happy for them and so grateful to be a part of this new chapter in their life.

I met Michelle while working in an infant classroom. I asked Michelle to please hold one of the crying babies. Michelle looked at me with a frightened look on her face and said, “How do I hold a baby?” and I tried to hold in my laugh as I explained it. That was the moment I knew we would be great friends.

I have known Pedro (Peter) for 15 years, and the one thing that has stayed consistent in all that time is his dedication to whatever his hyperfixation is at that moment. Peter always speaks his mind, so there is never any guessing about what his opinions or feelings are, but what you may not know is that when you need a helping hand or a pick-me-up, he is always the first to answer. Peter and Michelle always find a way to make people feel included, and that’s why I believe that they will love and devote themselves to each other from now until the end of time.

I've known both halves of the couple since middle school. From playing Call of Duty with Pedro (Peter) to hanging out in the campus hallways with Michelle. I had the privilege of getting to know them both individually and together. These two are inseparable, and I am so happy to be a part of their special day, seeing them become one.

I’ve been so lucky to know Pedro (Peter) and Michelle since high school and got to see their love story unfold in 2014. They’ve been inseparable ever since and I can’t wait for the couple to celebrate their everlasting love on their wedding day. Love them both so much!

One of my first memories with Peter was when he invited me to go to one of his trading card game stores to watch him play in a Pokémon TCG tournament. While he was practicing, he thought it would be fun if I bought a pack. Hundreds and hundreds of dollars later, I have 2 nice cards to show for it and one great friend.

I’ve known my cousin Michelle my whole life, and she’s always been one of the kindest, most genuine people I know. When she introduced me to Pedro at a family gathering, it was instantly clear how perfect they are together—his warmth and easy charm fit right in. Watching their love grow has been such a joy, and we’re all so excited to celebrate the start of their forever!

Our paths crossed through our sheer love of gaming. There’s so many stories to tell, but my favorite one is taking Drizzie (Pedro) to his first Pokémon event at Anaheim Worlds 2017, and fast forward years later, he’s become an incredible judge for the Pokémon TCG. Seeing your friends evolve in real-time, traveling the world and having their future wife support you all these years is truly a sight to behold.

Michelle’s favorite youngest brother, so excited and happy for my sister to be happily wedded with the man that she truly loves, a man that I already see as a brother and member of the family. Never stopped wishing for the best for them!

I met Peter (Pedro) around 3 years ago and have traveled around the US, Canada, and even Brazil together, creating lifelong memories. Some of my best memories are with this guy, like when we went to the World Of Coca-Cola in Atlanta or exploring the beautiful city of São Paulo. His future wife has been so supportive throughout their relationship, even traveling with him when she can to support his endeavors! I enjoyed playing Lorcana with her

My favorite memories with Michelle and Peter (Pedro) are always around the holidays. Specifically, Christmas. We would always pass the time playing a family favorite, SPOONS, or stealing stars from each other in Mario Party until we could start Secret Santa! The love these two have is infectious, and I'm so delighted to be a part of their special day, continuing to make memories together.

Whenever I get to see Michelle and Pedro I always see the love they have for each other, and you can tell it’ll be that way forever!
