Wedding Party
Allana Marie Nicolas
Bride
Leonardo Lee Juarez Jr.
Groom
Victoria Tiara Cachuela
Maid of Honor
Victoria, also known as Vikki or Tiara, is the built-in best friend and cousin of the bride! She and Allana used to fight all the time when they were younger - so much so that when Allana would get frustrated, she would bite her! However, they are now super close. As a kid, Allana looked up to her "Manang Cha" so much that she wanted to do everything Tiara did - from hula to all the different activities she was a part of. Tiara has been through all Allana's high and lows with her. Tiara is also a talented hula dancer and has recently graduated from the University of Hawaii West Oahu as wonderful educator. She is ready to shape the minds of the next generation!
Joshua Kainoa
Best Man
Leo and Josh met in middle school but grew closer in high school as "the Plaza Kids". Leo's favorite memory with Josh is when they tricked their good friend, Amanda, into watching "The Conjuring 2". They told her that they were going to watch a different movie and bought her ticket for her so that she had no choice but to watch it. Now, because of Josh and Leo, whenever the friend group goes to watch movies, Amanda insists on buying her own ticket. Leo and Josh continue to forge a stronger bond through their love of anime, food, and adventures.
Tiffany Ann Dacuycuy
Bridesmaid
Tiffany and Allana met while competing for Miss Philippines Hawaii. Tiffany was kind and believed in Allana enough to train her for her other pageants - Miss Hawaii and Miss Hawaii Volunteer. Over the short time that they have known each other, they have become great friends. Allana considers Tiffany to be one of her best friends! There is never a time when Allana leaves Tiffany's presence without her heart full and bursting with laughter. Aside from being a powerhouse pageant queen, Tiffany is one of the most talented dancers, an amazing esthetician, and very into fitness.
Leland Juarez
Groomsman
Leo and Leland met 20 years ago when Leland was born because Leo asked his parents for a brother. As Leo is 10 years older than Leland, he was his chauffeur for quite some time - taking him to school, soccer practice, and proms. Leland is currently a student at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas studying Business Management. Aside from being a student at UNLV, Leland is a very talented soccer player and a big gym enthusiast.
Larissa Kawahara Ancheta
Bridesmaid
Larissa (née. Kawahara) Ancheta and Allana met in the seventh grade when Allana was sat next to Larissa in math class and couldn't see the board. Over the years Larissa and Allana became best friends and grew even closer due to their love of Key Club, boy bands (IM5), Starbucks, and school spirit (Go Marauders!). In fact, due to their love of boy bands, Allana and Larissa still have each other as "Larissa Kawahara Pendery-Scarzone" and "Allana Nicolas Behlendorf" as contact names respectively (and don't intend to change it anytime soon🤪) Larissa is mommy to one of Allana's favorite little girls, Leialynn! As best friends for more than 10 years, both Larissa and Allana can't believe that the future they talked about in highschool is actually happening!
Presley San
Groomsman
Presley is the husband of Leo's very good friend, Chanelle. Leo's first time meeting Presley was actually at their wedding back in 2015. From that point on, Leo has seen Presley at many more gatherings and has become better acquainted with him. Leo and Pres are similar in a sense where they both just like to sit back with a drink and have a good time interacting with their friends. Pres is also very thoughtful in the fact that he and Chanelle gifted Allana and Leo with a handmade ornament that had the ultrasound of their baby girl. It really meant a lot to Leo as a first time father. Aside from being thoughtful, Leo admires Presley's humble attitude and his dedication to his wife.
Elaine Mascarinas
Bridesmaid
Elaine and Allana met through Leo! Elaine and Leo have been friends since middle school. When Allana first met Leo's friends, she felt quickly connected with them and really appreciated how they, especially Elaine, reminded her of her family. Through the years Elaine and Allana bonded over food, drinks, memes, their VERY Filipino upbringing, and kids - especially Elaine's son, who is Allana and Leo's favorite Marvel boy, Samson! One of Allana's favorite memories of Elaine was when she told Samson to "go bless" - Allana was internally screaming because of the cuteness and thinking that it's really great that the Filipino culture is still being passed to her son. Allana really admires how Elaine still maintains being her funny and outgoing personality while still being an amazing mom to Samson. Aside from being a mommy extraordinaire, Elaine also makes a meeeeaaaaan iced latte with her Nespresso machine. Allana dare says it's better than Starbucks.
Roman Hunt
Groomsman
Roman is the boyfriend of Elaine, who is Leo's very good friend, and the father of Leo and Allana's favorite Marvel boy, Samson. Roman and Elaine have been very hospitable in opening their home to the friend group for BBQ's, Friendsgivings, and Friendsmases. Through their hospitality, it has been fun to watch how their family has grown and evolved over the years. Leo really admires and appreciates how Roman is very laid back, deeply cares for Elaine, and is a very good and active father in Samson's life. Although Roman is an avid Steelers fan, Leo hopes to one day convert him to a Cowboys fan!
Rachelle Ragudo
Bridesmaid
Rachelle and Allana met when Allana started going to Small Group during the pandemic. Allana always says that Rachelle is her "voice of reason" and calls her "Manang Rachelle". One of Allana's favorite things to do is make Rachelle laugh and cringe with her dad jokes and when she bursts into song! Allana loves spending time with Rachelle especially since they share the same faith, sense of humor, and interests (photography, K-dramas, musicals, food, fashion, etc.) Aside from being a store manager for Kate Spade at Ala Moana, Rachelle is a talented photographer, a doting Auntie to her nephew Rhain, and a very creative and crafty person!
Austin Roache
Groomsman
Austin and Leo met in high school when they had math class together. Leo's funniest memory was when he and Austin were in math, for the last period of the day, sat at the same table trying to solve a problem. The teacher's aid came by to assist and Austin was explaining the problem to the aid. She asked Leo, "Ok, where is Austin going after this?" and Leo responded, "I don't know, home probably?" This was obviously not the answer the aid was looking for. Austin busted into laughter at Leo's response. Austin is also the husband of Leo's good friend, Amanda and father to two of Allana and Leo's favorite kids, Levi and Carly. Leo admires Austin's drive and ambition as a business owner and like Austin, hopes to one day be an active and involved father as well.
