Kiana & Alberto
Wedding Party
Jaden Kao
Maid of Honor
If Kiana had to describe the closest thing to perfect, it would easily be her big sister, Jaden— a true role model and her personal 'party in a box.' One of Kiana’s favorite memories is from freshman year of high school, when Jaden, a senior, class president, and volleyball MVP, still saw her little sister as her other half. They would cruise to school in Jaden’s iconic VW convertible bug, with Kiana always feeling like the luckiest girl in the world to have her cool big sister by her side. The two even shared a room by choice until Jaden got married, creating a built-in best friendship for life. Kiana couldn’t imagine walking down the aisle without her big sister leading the way— just like she always did growing up!
Serena Ortega
Bridesmaid
Serena, Kiana’s bestie cousin, has always been the little sister she never had. Growing up, she was an honorary Louie (often called "Shrimp Louie" for being the littlest of their girl crew). From performing skits for family parties, to dying Easter eggs with rollers in their hair, to meeting in the employee break room speaking in code so no one would catch on to their family connection, their bond is truly for life. Kiana admires Serena’s fierce aura and soft heart as she pursues her dream of becoming a nurse, making her even prouder of the little lady she’s become. “Go big, pookie!” Having her little pookie by her side today feels just right, and Kiana is so thankful for the sweet energy Serena brings into her life!
Estefany Recinos
Bridesmaid
Stef, Kiana’s soon to be sister-in-law, has had the sweetest open arms since day one. Even before officially meeting, she secretly sent Kiana a DM on Instagram, inviting her to lunch as part of a plan to throw Albert off his surprise birthday party— showing her fun-loving spirit right away. One their best memories together was dancing on a rooftop for Stef's birthday, with Disneyland fireworks lighting up the sky and the best Bad Bunny songs playing in the background. Her warmth and thoughtfulness make her a complete joy to be around— the same qualities that make her a nurse everyone would want taking care of them!
Jackie Arceo
Bridesmaid
Jackie and Kiana immediately bonded during their college sorority days (ADPi - “it’s not four years, it’s for life” woohoo!) and have had a timeless friendship ever since. They’ve been blessed to go through their engagement seasons together, making it all the more special. Jackie is so incredibly well-rounded, it’s no wonder she acquires talent for the most famous hamburger restaurant in the industry! Some of Kiana’s favorite memories are from their nights at Hyde Sunset, coming home to their favorite Lays lime chips, and falling asleep telling the best stories! Kiana knows that Jackie will always be by her side, just as they will for each other's wedding day!
Steven Limon
Best Man
Steven is Albert’s right-hand man and his best friend. Their bond began as kids and grew stronger through their teenage years and early adulthood, where they did everything together. Anywhere you saw one, the other wasn’t far behind. They’ve been playing baseball together since they were just seven years old and have shared countless memories both on and off the field. Whether they’re concert buddies, sharing their love of music, or doing wild activities like skydiving, they always keep each other entertained. Steven has been a best friend in Albert’s life, and there’s no better person to stand by his side for this big day.
Daniel Miranda
Best Man
Daniel is Albert’s other half and lifelong best friend. Their bond began as babies growing up together in the same household. With only sisters as siblings, they became the brothers they never had. As kids, they did everything together— playing wiffle ball in the front yard, building makeshift slip ’n slides, and sneaking around the neighborhood playing ding-dong-ditch. These moments became the foundation of their unbreakable bond. Even as they’ve grown older, they’ve held on to those cherished memories, continuing to share a bond that remains just as strong today. There’s no one more fitting than Daniel to stand by Albert’s side as he starts this next chapter in his life.
Ivan Recinos
Groomsman
Ivan is Albert’s role model and someone he has always admired. From a young age, Albert looked up to Ivan and tried to mirror everything he did. Ivan became Albert’s baseball all-star coach when he was 10 years old and has been a coach not only in baseball but in life ever since. Over the past 16 years, Ivan has been a guiding presence, watching Albert grow into the remarkable young adult he is today. They’ve created countless memories— from sharing the same quirky sense of humor to dancing wildly in front of each other and making odd sounds just to share a laugh. Ivan has always been a great example in Albert’s life and Albert couldn’t be happier to have him standing by his side.
Ron Kao
Groomsman
Ron is soon to be Albert’s newest brother-in-law, and their bond has grown quickly over time. They’ve shared unforgettable experiences, including trips to New York and Boston to watch the Yankees and Red Sox play. Over the years, they’ve become each other’s go-to throwing partners, always jumping at the chance to play sports and engage in friendly competitions. They also enjoy exploring new restaurants and trying different foods—though Albert isn’t always as adventurous as Ron. Despite knowing each other for a short time, Ron has stepped into the role of an older brother, setting a great example and being a constant source of support. He has been an incredible soon to be brother-in-law, and Albert can’t wait to officially call him family.
