The Bride
Rachael is originally from the suburbs of Chicago. She studied Theater and Law before moving to Chiapas, Mexico (where she met her groom) to volunteer as an arts facilitator with youth. Today, she works as a web designer to fund her heartwork in Mexico and around the world.
The Groom
Roberto is from San Cristóbal de las Casas, where he lives with Rachael and their wedding pup, Puffy. Roberto is a Spanish (and salsa) teacher as well as project manager at RKA ink. In his spare time, Roberto is a celebrated living room guitarist and he makes a mean empanada.
The Pup of Honor
Puffy, named by Roberto's nephew Alex, was originally meant to live with Roberto's sis but she ended up with the bride and groom. Puffy is not a huge fan of The One Year Wedding (yet) and is jealous when the bride and groom pay attention to anyone other than her. Sorry, Puff! You're an obligatory guest.
