Wedding Party
Lehuanani Baclayon
Matron of Honor
Lehua and Asia developed a deep friendship as they navigated their high school years together. They were inseparable, and Asia’s parents, Leslie and Dominic, viewed Lehua as their “second daughter” because of how frequently she was at their home. Eight years after graduation, they can still read each other's minds, finish each other's sentences, and predict one another's feelings with just a shared glance. Asia is the Godmother of Lehua's three daughters and feels incredibly blessed to have her by her side on her big day.
Tylor Pacheco
Best Man
Though both Tylor and Akoni hail from Kaua’i, their friendship took root on O’ahu while attending Kamehameha Schools Kapālama. After graduating, they navigated the ups and downs of adult life side by side. Even though they've now lived on different islands for over eight years, their conversations remain as effortless and connected as if they see each other daily. Those who know them best agree that they are the true embodiment of ‘two peas in a pod.’
Chloe Rudinoff
Officiant
Chloe and Asia have been friends for as long as they can remember. From fighting over toys in childhood to being each other’s shoulder to cry on during life’s toughest moments, their bond resembles that of sisters. As they’ve entered adulthood, they have developed a deep admiration for one another, and their friendship has continued to flourish. Akoni and Asia feel honored to have someone they know and trust standing with them at the forefront of their special day, helping to further create an intimate and personal atmosphere.
