Bremond & Haden
Wedding Party
Mary Allison Bertling
Matron of Honor
The bubbliest. The brightest. The happiest. From choir practice to boarding school to post-grad life... MAB and Bre have been rocking together since 8th grade. 12 years and a lot of questionable fashion choices later but she's still stickin by Bre's side. A real gem.
Aaron Figueroa
Best Man
When we were teenagers people would call him "Mr. Steal Your Girl" but I never really understood why. Aaron was the most humble guy I knew and would never, in a million years, accept the title. My best guess is because people saw his genuine heart and were intimidated by it. He was always much more than that. He is incredibly smart, genuine, and tender-hearted. And it is an absolute honor to have him as one of my Best Men.
Aaliyah Smith
Bridesmaid
Fierce. Opinionated. Hilarious. Aaliyah and Bre went from being complete strangers to best friends, after volunteering together with Young Life. Aaliyah is the friend who will tell ya what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. And who's a better friend than that?! At this point, Bre and Aaliyah have also been roommates, confidantes, & workout buddies, just to name a few.
JC Policarpio
Best Man
JC has literally been in my life since the day I was born. He was a family friend that I looked up to when I was growing up. But as we grew up and the maturity gap began to close, we also began to deepen our relationship. He became a partner in ministry, but more importantly a friend that has always been there behind my back. I know that JC will be a guy that will be a witness to Bre and I's marriage for the long haul. Also, don't be afraid of his mustache. It may look scary, but it is harmless.
Abbey Sealy
Bridesmaid
Eloquent. Contemplative. Generous. A real NYC friend. Abbey and Bre also met working/volunteering in ministry (#ThanksRUF), but became fast friends. Abbey is the most sacrificial, poised, and thoughtful friend you know. You REALLY want her on your team.
Justin Sealy
Groomsman
Justin was one of my first friends in the city and has become a brother. He has helped me feel at home in the notoriously lonely city of New York and I look up to him both in admiration and height.
Marie Post
Bridesmaid
Deep. Philosophical. (Very) Sassy. She's fashionable and bright but then dig deeper and she's also got the most profound thoughts running through her head all day long. Marie (legal name and alter ego name - Sandra) is a current roommate and all-around gift of a human being to know.
Daniel Masilang
Groomsman
Daniel is not just an artsy-fartsy dude! He has one of the most tender hearts that I know. His heart for his students goes to great lengths and has been an inspiration to me. He has been a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on. Daniel is one of a kind and I am beyond blessed to have him as a friend.
Camille Swartz
Bridesmaid
Loud (in the absolute best and most hilarious way). Stylish. A hoot and half. Camille will make you pee your pants laughing then turn around and pray for you until the earth shakes. She loves God and loves people with a fierceness that's hard to beat. Plus she's the funniest person you'll ever meet (shhhhh she hates when I say that).
JR Policarpio
Groomsman
JR is another one that has been with me my entire life. We always had a competitive rivalry when we were growing up. In the beginning, I had the upper hand, but sooner rather than later, JR became "the athletic one." JR's work ethic has always been an inspiration. Whether it is football or paying the bills, JR has never failed to do his best.
Alejandra Zuluaga
Bridesmaid
Wise. Hospitable. Patient. This gal is the real deal. A leader like few I've ever known and in a league all her own. Alejandra can command a room but also just as easily keep a low profile and let others shine. She's great at celebrating the highs with you and grieving the lows right alongside you. A friend like her is hard to find.
David Reyes
Groomsman
David has always been the one with integrity. He has a strong conviction to wrong and right and has taught me to be a better person from his actions. He has always offered to help out or been there when I needed him. David has the incredible power to work 12 hour days and sleep for 2 hours. And he'll never say it, but he has a voice of an angel!
Isabelle Wadi
Bridesmaid
Talented. Creative. Pensive. One of the most creative minds you'll ever meet. Belle is the friend that slows you down to the pace of life we were actually meant to live. She's intentional and a person who is present, like really present with you when you're together. With Belle, you're always bound to leave your conversation with 3 new truisms that you'll probably write down in your journal later.
John Reyes
Groomsman
John is the first to give his time to you. He takes sacrificial love seriously and it is seen in the ways that he interacts with others. He is the type of person that will drive across the country if you needed him to. John is extremely talented as well. Although he was younger, he was never too immature to hang out with the guys and has become a great friend.
Sabine Arslanian
Bridesmaid
Intelligent. Driven. Elegant. First of all, Sabine reads French philosophy (in the original FRENCH!!!) for fun. So that should say something. But besides that, I'd like to thank the powers that be at NYU office of residential life for randomly placing us together during our fall semester 2015. My entire college experience would have been a lot less eventful, less full of philosophical debate, or generally less dope without this lady to do it with.
Drake Byrd
Groomsman
I have only met Drake a few times, but in the short time I've got to know him, there have been nothing but pleasant moments. He has a great sense of humor and he loves his family very much. I'm excited to get to know Drake more and am even more excited to finally have a brother.
Erin De Leon
Bridesmaid
Hilarious. Witty. Kind. In the short time I've known her, Erin has been good at many things, the best of which are: 1) funny one-liners (normally aimed at Haden), 2) a GREAT sense of style, and 3) showing up for her sibs (thanks AGAIN for letting us use your car on that one road trip to Maine).
Dylan Rombaoa
Groomsman
Dylan is my little cousin on my mom's side. He probably doesn't know this, but I look up to him in a lot of ways. He is resilient and has grown so much. To say that I am proud of him is an understatement. He has been a joy to my family and am blessed to call him family.
Gabby De Leon
Bridesmaid
(Also) Witty. Humble. Calm. A very chill presence. Case in point, though she's the best in all the land at Tumble Stone (IYKYK), you won't catch her bragging (unless it's toward Haden, then bragging is totally acceptable and in fact encouraged).
Joel Pederigan
Groomsman
Joel is yet another guy that has been around my whole life. Joel and I have had a fair share of butting heads and disagreements through the years, but there is nothing that I wouldn't do for him. I know he would say the same. He is one of the most loyal guys I know.
