Wedding Party
Ariana Feliciano
Best Woman
Ariana has been Erikk's best friend since before they were born. With their moms being best friends since their childhood it was only right that their kids followed the same timeline. From way too many quinceañeras to the best times at concerts Ariana is nothing short of a lifelong best friend not just to Erikk but now Brandon too.
Yasmeen Khan
Best Woman
Yasmeen played a special role in being the first that Erikk came out to. It was a random day on the park as they both sat at a very young age on the swings and she turned to him and casually asked "are you gay?" to which Erikk simply said yes. It was something so deep that built the foundation of a friendship that has lasted over 15 years and has many more to come.
Amanda Sequeira
Best Woman
Amanda has been Brandon’s role model for as long as he can remember. Long before she was simply his sister, she was his built-in best friend. She is the person he leaned on through every stage of life. She has always been his constant, showing up with honesty, strength, and unconditional love. Amanda was the first person to truly accept Brandon for exactly who he is, without hesitation or question, and that kind of love stays with you forever. She is the first person Brandon turns to, the voice he trusts most, and the one he knows will always be there no matter what. Having her by his side isn’t just special it feels like home.
Erika Pirnack
Best Woman
Erika and Brandon’s friendship began on Semester at Sea, where they met and quickly became inseparable. From the very beginning, their bond was built through adventure—traveling all over the world together, creating memories in places they never could have imagined, and forming the kind of friendship that only grows stronger with time. Over the years, that connection turned into a lifelong friendship rooted in trust, loyalty, and genuine love. When Brandon moved to Colorado as his relationship with Erikk began, Erika became an even bigger part of his life, and it didn’t take long for her and Erikk to meet and form their own bond as well. Erika is the kind of friend who shows up, who stays, and who makes life brighter just by being in it.
Natalia Jimenez

Brandon met Natalia during Semester at Sea, and from the start, she was impossible to forget. As his Colombian friend and the true life of the party, Natalia brought energy, confidence, and so much fun into every moment.

Their friendship was built through adventure, laughter, and a shared love for living life to the fullest. Natalia is the kind of friend who makes every room brighter, every trip better, and every memory more exciting.
Aidan Stevens

Their bond is full of laughter, loyalty, and stories that will last forever.
Isaac Sison
Groomsman
Brandon met Isaac during their college years at UC Merced, and what started as sharing the same chapter of life quickly turned into a real, lasting friendship. From the chaos and fun of college life and parties, to the memories that came with growing up and figuring things out together, Isaac became one of those friends Brandon could always count on. Their friendship was built through laughter, loyalty, and being there for each other through it all. Isaac has been a solid presence in Brandon’s life ever since, and having him by his side on this day means more than words can say.
Clara Ortiz
Groomswoman
Clara and Brandon met during Semester at Sea, and they bonded quickly from the very beginning. Clara became such a special part of his life that Brandon’s first time ever visiting Puerto Rico was to visit her, and he immediately fell in love with the island. That trip became more than just a visit, it became a meaningful connection to a place that now holds even more significance as Brandon and Erikk celebrate their wedding in Puerto Rico. Clara has been a constant reminder of friendship, culture, and the kind of bond that can only come from shared adventures and real connection, and Brandon is so grateful to have her by his side on this day.
Jakob Barrara
Groomsman
Jakob has been Brandon’s best friend since day one. The kind of person who has never just felt like a friend, but like a brother. Over the years, their bond has grown into something deeper than friendship, Jakob is family. And with that, Jakob’s family has become Brandon’s family too, a constant source of love, support, and belonging throughout every stage of life. From the high school years to navigating college and stepping into adulthood, Jakob has been there through it all; every milestone, every challenge, and every moment in between. He is the person Brandon has always been able to count on, the one who always has his back, and the one who shows up no matter what. Having Jakob by his side on this day isn’t just meaningful; it’s exactly how it should be.
