Carolina Suarez
Bridesmaid
In the beginning of her life, Caroli was more like a daughter to Olga than a real sister since Olga was the one who woke up to her crying as a baby. Eventually, Caroli became a little sister who Olga tried to protect and be a role model for. Now, Caroli is the sage of the family. She is the truly wise one that Olga and Annie turn to for insight and advice. She has grown up to be a beautiful person with an amazing spirit.
In the picture are Caroli and her boyfriend Joey (who deserves his own little story...but I'll spare you all the details :) j/k Joey!).
