Victoria Biacan

Matron of Honor

I’m Victoria, Karina’s Matron of Honor and sister-in-law. I’ve known Karina for 18 years, and somehow we have officially reached the point where we’ve known each other for more than half our lives! Holy moly! Where do I even begin? From getting ready for her prom, to celebrating my 22nd birthday, her 21st, and ringing in many New Year’s Eves together- we’ve made a lot of memories over the years. Every chapter with Karina has been full of laughs, chaos, and moments I’ll always hold close. I couldn’t be happier to celebrate this next chapter with her. Ahhh! Fun fact #1: I married her older brother, Kris! So she is officially stuck with me forever as her sister-in-law… and I guess that means I am stuck with Calvin too. 😂 Fun fact #2: Kris and I are high school sweethearts and now have two boys and three dogs, so life at our house is loud, chaotic, and never boring.

Treisha Martinez

Maid of Honor

I’m Treisha—Karina’s cousin and childhood pen pal from NJ to IL! One of my favorite memories is when Karina and Calvin visited me in Arizona in 2021 (pre-kids!)—we explored Scottsdale, hiked Devil’s Bridge in Sedona, and spent the weekend laughing and playing games. I’m so excited to celebrate their next chapter!

Sarah Esmenda

Bridesmaid

Hey, everyone! I’m Sarah and I live in Jersey City, NJ~ Like Alex, I know Karina from Stony Brook University, the Filipino club there, and various dance groups. She also helped me survive my 5th year there 🥲 Fun fact: 2 years ago, I went on an “Eat, Pray, Love” trip and travelled to 8 countries in 3 months! I’m honored and excited to join you all in celebrating our gurlll!

Alexandra Leonardo

Bridesmaid

My name is Alexandra! Fun fact about me is that I’ve taken the MCAT twice, but I’ll be taking the bar in July. An even more fun fact is that I’ve known Karina since my freshman year at Stony Brook, and we became friends through PUSO Modern. Some of my favorite memories with my pineapple head are our drives to and from competitions, where we sang Disney songs, cried about becoming adults, and discussed whether Calvin was “the one” for her. Years later, he has truly proven himself to be her lobster, and I can’t wait to celebrate the beautiful couple! See y’alls on the dance floor!

Lorena Pehar

Bridesmaid

Hello everyone 🫶🏼❤️✨ Can’t wait to share this journey with Kina and all the special people in her life ✨✨ In 4th grade, we met when I moved to Somers Point, and she became my family and best friend since! Fun fact: I used to compete in fighting sports (jiu-jitsu)

Sabrina Sarwar

Bridesmaid

Hi everyone! My name's Sabrina! I am beyond excited to celebrate Kina ❤️❤️❤️ I met Kina freshman year of high school, the first day of school! I sat behind her in French class, and for some reason, I said I knew Spanish but wasn't fluent in it 😭 LOL nor were we in a Spanish class LOL and that's the start of our beautiful friendship ❤️ Fun fact: I think Kina thought I was Spanish for a good few months afterwards hahaha 🤣 I am so excited to meet y'all and celebrate Karina ❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉🎉
