Wedding Party
Elisa Garcia
Maid of Honor
Sister of the Bride Elisa is Adriana’s one and only little sister :) They've been best friends, partners in crime, and a dynamic dramatic duo since day one! From singing made-up songs in our car seats or exploring on international trips, to enacting Oscar-worthy dramatic performances from their bedroom, Adriana has always made her life brighter, more imaginative and more full of love. As they look to this new step ahead, Elisa is excited to see what the Lord holds for Addie and the kind of wife she will blossom to be. He has given her an incredible partner in life: Jaehyeon, who has quickly become a dear friend to Elisa and who has brought the kind of joy, care, support, and richness in love that she has always prayed was in store for Adriana. She’s blessed to have him, and he to have her, and Elisa looks forward to the many years of richness ahead of them.
Joon Kim
Best Man
Brother of the Groom From Bruise to Blues: Jaehyeon and Joon’s journey began with countless fights growing up in a small town in Korea, leading into being fellow jazz musicians at Berklee College of Music in Boston. Though now miles apart, their brotherhood still has miles ahead. With pride and joy, he looks forward to all the chapters still to come in Jaehyeon’s journey.
Breanna Donaghy
Bridesmaid
Friend of the Bride Breanna met Adriana during their first year of college at the University of Pittsburgh through being in the same dance club. Their friendship grew from there, especially when they connected over living out their Christian faith as college students. Breanna was roommates with Addie while she finished at Pitt and for a few months after, and the Garcias now live right next to her hometown, although Bree currently lives in Pittsburgh-- she and Addie switched places! Breanna is really thankful that Addie has found someone who she can pursue Christ with in marriage, and who will be a source of encouragement and strength to her and is honored to be a part of her bridal party and so excited to celebrate this special milestone alongside her!
Andrew Garcia
Groomsman
Brother of the Bride Andrew has known Addie his entire life as his older sister by six years, a role she embraced as mentor, protector, and lifelong role model. Growing up, they shared family traditions, faith, and many of the experiences that shaped who they are today, staying close despite being in different stages of life, and he has always admired her strength, kindness, and unwavering faith, making it an honor to stand by her on such an important day. When Jaehyeon entered the picture, Andrew saw how naturally he fit into their family and how deeply he cares for Addie, and his faith, character, and commitment to her made it clear this was someone special. Andrew is honored to stand as a groomsman today and excited to watch Adriana and Jaehyeon grow together in faith and love.
Reagan Pletcher
Bridesmaid
Cousin of the Bride Reagan is the bride’s cousin and has been close to her since childhood. Though they lived in different states, their bond remained strong through family gatherings, and the special memories they’ve shared over the years. As they’ve grown up, their bond has only deepened, and Reagan continues to admire her cousin’s kindness and strength. She’s honored to stand by her cousin’s side on such a special day.
Thomas Garcia
Groomsman
Brother of the Bride Thomas unsurprisingly first met Adriana minutes after he was born. They grew an instant connection as she is the oldest and he is the youngest of the Garcia siblings. Growing up in the lavish borough of Coraopolis near Pittsburgh, then moving to Philadelphia, they both grew in their faith and shared interests, upholding their connection through starkly different stages of life. He then met Jaehyeon back in summer 2024 and, over the course of the year, they positively grew in their brotherly relationship. Thomas is honored to be one of Jaehyeon’s groomsmen and is more than excited to see Addie and Jaehyeon joined through Christ and grow together as husband and wife.
