Wedding Party
Dr. Justina Jose
Maid of Honor
The sister, the coworker, the best friend. All that and more. Nothing makes me happier than being your big sister. Grateful to have a sister who answers her phone no matter what and is always ready to go out for an ice-cream run. Such a special phase in life to share my wedding planning journey and big day with my sissy.
Johana Jose
Maid of Honor
My little sister who's not so little anymore. The one who listens and gives me advice and never ceases to amaze me. The one who makes me laugh until I cry. The one who gives me the weirdest nicknames- Jen, Jenny, Johnny. My heart is full knowing I'll have her by my side when I say, "I do." Love you forever Jonah.
Liza Mathews
Bridesmaid
Even before I met Liza, I knew she and I would be sisters. As Alex's sister, Liza has slowly become a huge part of my life. Although we may be far from each other, I love that I can text Liza at any time of the day and just ask the simplest questions. I can't wait for what our future holds for us as sisters and I look forward to being able to do things together...without Alex. I am so blessed to have her stand beside me for my wedding day.
Minty Thomas
Bridesmaid
From growing up in diapers to becoming adults who are still trying to figure out how to pay bills, Minty has been with me every step of the way. I am so happy to have had her through all seasons of life. Growing up in church together and strengthening our walk with God has been part of who I am as a person. I am so excited to have her with me as I get married!
Dr. Kaitlyn Jacobs
Bridesmaid
The second I met Keny, I knew we would be besties. From working long hours together to grabbing brunch on the few days we have off, Keny has been my go-to girl. She never fails to check up on me and it means the world that I have her in my life. She makes my heart happy with her positivity and I am so very blessed to have her with me on my special day.
Beulah Johnson
Bridesmaid
My big chechi. My getaway. My advisor. Beulah has known me since I was a newborn baby. She has babysat me all throughout my childhood and knows me inside out. I cherish all of our memories from the sleepovers to game nights to movie nights. She has always been there for me in times of need and I will forever be grateful for everything she has done for me. Grateful to have her with me as I say, "I do."
Jewel George
Bridesmaid
If you leave me and Chippy in the same room and come back 5 minutes later, you will find two girls just laughing about absolutely nothing. I cherish our friendship because no matter how busy life gets, we pick up where we left off. I am so blessed to have her root for me in every phase of my life. It means so much to have her with me on my special day.
Angela Davidson
Bridesmaid
I am forever grateful I approached Angie in the HBU library for the first time. A lifetime friendship grew from that very moment. Cherished every moment we spent talking on the phone because we both understood each other and became ammachis that can't hang after long work days. Forever grateful she will be a part of my wedding day!
Nayan Doshi
Best Man
Nayan is one of my oldest friends. From taking the school bus together as kids, taking trips to Taco Bell, and playing soccer, we’ve basically grown up together. Now that we’re both back in Los Angeles, I’m so happy to have a friend like him just down the street. Nayan is a true extrovert and always pushes me to find excitement in life. I know that he’s a friend I can rely on for advice and support. Nayan and his fiancé were the first of my friends to meet Janina. I’m thankful to have had him by my side from the beginning of my relationship with Janina to the moment we say “I do”.
Pranav Lakshminarayanan
Groomsman
Pranav and I were kindred spirits going through school. We spent hours on end in the library together, from morning until evening. In the few breaks we took during the late hours, we bonded over our love for software and superhero TV shows. Even though I was far from home during school and after, I knew I could always rely on Pranav as a roommate and as my friend. Pranav is the brother I always wished I had, and I am excited he’ll be with me on my special day.
Kangsan Kim
Groomsman
Kang was always the brightest of my friends in college. While it felt like we worked twice as hard, Kang always seemed to grasp abstract concepts quickly and make fewer errors - which is why I was so surprised he chose to propose to my sister. All joking aside, I have so much respect for Kang, and I’m glad my sister was able to find such a kind, caring man. I’m excited to have him as one of my groomsmen on my big day.
Jamasen Rodriguez
Groomsman
I’ll never forget the day Jamasen walked into our pre-college event wearing a suit and holding a briefcase. It was the confidence that took me most by surprise. He’s inspired me to take some of the biggest risks in my life with the same confidence. From convincing me the east coast isn’t that tough for a California Kid, to switching career paths from medicine to entrepreneurship. I still rely on his advice and friendship. I am blessed to have him by my side as I marry the love of my life.
Dr. Kevin George
Groomsman
I’ll admit, I copied Kevin all throughout college. I applied to Hopkins because of him. I asked to be his freshman year roommate. I switched into his major. Though we spent much of our lives on opposite coasts, those formative years together will always keep us close. From the long hours of studying in the library to grabbing Chipotle basically every day, Kevin and I have grown up together. I thank God for giving me a cousin I know I can rely on no matter what. I am grateful to have him stand by me on my wedding day.
Mark Mathen
Groomsman
My fondest memories with Mark are our family vacations. When we felt trapped in a van for hours on a family trip, we could always count on Mark to stir up a lively conversation. Mark is my little cousin who I could always talk to literally about anything. I value our relationship and I am blessed to have him in my life. I look forward to saying “I do”, with Mark by my side.
Justin Philip
Groomsman
Justin may seem gentle, but don’t let him fool you. Growing up together, I remember the bundle of energy that was always looking to body slam his cousins on boring summer days. I could always count on him to back me up when it comes to bullying my sister, Liza. I am so grateful to have him be a part of my wedding day.
Jordan Philip
Groomsman
From every family event, whether it be a birthday or Christmas, Jordan has never failed to be the life of the party. His wit and larger than life personality brightens every room. Over the last few years, it’s been exciting to watch him become an entrepreneur, and I hope we can continue to bond over how to build websites or new business ideas. I am blessed to have him stand next to me on my wedding day.
