Jenieve & Amin
Wedding Party
Janelle Guevarra
Maid of Honor
Janelle is my only sister and quite honestly my best friend. I've known her her whole life and can honestly say she's seen the best and worst of me, and is the reason I don't wear gym clothes 24/7. I am so lucky to have a sister with her taste, style, sense of humor, and ability to see the best in people. Couldn't have asked for a better maid of honor!
Ives Santos
Matron of Honor
There aren't enough words to express what Ives (or Ateh Ives for me) means to me. Ateh in filipino is a word designated to show respect to an older sister. Ateh Ives has more than earned that title. She is my confidante, my voice of reason, the person who will laugh at my jokes even when they aren't that funny, the girl who'll tell it like it is, and the person who has always made sure I had the right head on my shoulders and heart in my chest. Ateh Ives has her own family now, but it wouldn't feel right walking down the aisle not seeing her there, as she's been there for me my whole life. In addition to being a supermom/wife/RN, she's also the GoAT of wedding planning, so I am definitely super blessed to have her in my bridal party <3
Primavera Vasquez
Bridesmaid
The only thing comparable to Prima's beauty and taste is her intelligence and fiestiness. From conversations that can easily count as theses defenses to sharing amazing finds on Sephora and Tory Burch, I am so honored to be able to call this woman my future sister-in-law.
Christina Gee
Bridesmaid
Christina is our adopted daughter (she's actually one of my sorority littles). I met Christina around the same time I met Amin. Christina saw the beginnings of our relationship way back during our CU days and, as one of my best friends, has watched it grow into the partnership and love that it is now. Christina's been my voice of reason and maturity and the source of my knowledge of all the best brunch spots in NYC for as long as I have known her. I am so grateful to have her by my side on our wedding day.
Alexis Cruz
Bridesmaid
Alexis and her younger sister Arianne (Ann) were the source of all of my childhood adventures. From backyard cookouts with fake flower lumpias to learning how to swim and play piano, learning to ride bikes and roller blade, we were inseparable growing up. I am super lucky to have someone with her artistic style, level head, and sense of fun to call my cousin and am so honored to have her with me on my wedding day.
Andrew Padilla
Best Man
I've known Andrew since freshman year in high school. Honestly, when we first met, we couldn't stand each other. On my part, I envied how outgoing he was and wanted to be more like him. Over the years, though, we got close due to the whole I-LEAD program experience. But it wasn't until college that he truly became one of my best friends. He's my brother. A guy I've been through everything with. And someone who regardless of time or circumstances I know I can count on for whatever may be. He always has great stories to tell. And wherever he is is where the party's at.
Jebril Guevarra
Groomsman
When I first met Jebril, I don't even think he was a teenager yet. Over time though, I've seen him grow into an intelligent and handsome young man. I've seen his confidence and basketball skills grow exponentially. And I've come to see him as a little brother and companion. What I admire most about Jeb is his humility and loyalty to his family. He's the epitome of a great brother and son.
Alan Medina
Groomsman
My cousin Alan and I go waaayyy back. Like diapers and N64s way back. Although I'm 5 years his senior, Alan and I have always seen each other as equals. He's someone who's film and video game critiques I respect as much as Quentin Tarantino or Adam Sessler. Like all of my groomsmen, I consider him a brother. I'm proud of the young man he's become and look forward to seeing the art he's bound to create.
Eric Kyere
Groomsman
My ace. My captain. My line brother. Do I have to say anything more? Over the years, Eric and I have been through many obstacles together and individually. He's been a support system unlike any other for me. He is the consummate gentleman, someone I aspire to be like everyday. Whether its his effortless six pack or his regal wardrobe, Eric can't help stand out wherever he is. I've conceded that he will be the freshest guy at the wedding.
Steven Martinez
Groomsman
Like Andrew, I knew Steve from I-LEAD and All Hallows. But it wasn't until Columbia, though, that he and I really bonded. Having him as my roommate was one of the most serendipitous things that ever occurred to me. Steve taught me about basketball, football and hip hop. Whether it was JJs or film class, you could often find us together. And till this day we have a copious amount of nicknames for each other and inside jokes that others would probably find bizarre. ("I'm not doing it!") Lastly, his relationship with Stephanie has always been a beacon for me of what true love can be. That's how I recognized it when I found Jen.

Goku Guevarra-Fernandez
Puppy of Honor
Goku 'Pacholo' Guevarra-Fernandez is adorable as he is mischievous. He's a shiba through and through, acting more like a cat than a dog. Be weary of the shiba scream though if you ever try to cut his nails.
Chihiro Guevarra-Fernandez
Kitten of Honor
Chihiro aka Chichi is a new addition to the family. Passing by the ASPCA, we fell in love with this little girl’s big kitten eyes, love for cuddles and belly rubs, and knack for hiding in the most interesting places. Chichi loves playing with her Kuya Goku and can’t wait to see her humans tie the knot!
