Wedding Party
Rochelle G. Barillas
Matron of Honor
Rochelle & Chelsey met from work. Finding out they had so much in common a bond was formed. Through the years Rochelle has been a confidant & the voice of reason for Chelsey. Rochelle has seen all the up’s & down’s, the good & the ugly (extremely ugly). Always manages to bring positivity when Chelsey needs it most. With an unwavering friendship that will continue to grow! Rochelle is what helped Chelsey & Robert stay together! ❤️
Tobi Oyemakinde
Maid of Honor
One of five people Chelsey considers to be a best friend. Tobi & Chelsey go back ALL the way to the awkward days since 7th grade. A friendship that with stand the test of time! It is always an adventure when they get together. Without the colorful spirit of Tobi, Chelsey's life would just be black & white. The friend that introduced the bride & groom together! The tonic to Chelsey’s Stoli’s!! ❤️
Jeffrey Mosier
Best Man
Bromance #1 Robert & Jeffrey (LiL Jeff) grew up together so to speak. Growing up in San Bruno, you know each other but don’t. Later in years, the game of softball brought them together. But playing the game isn’t what makes them friends. it’s hanging out after games having a drink, watching baseball, football or basketball games. Betting on who’s fantasy team wins. Those long talks at Celia’s or Hooters (Gotta love those wings!) Jeff is a genuine & happy person to be around. He’s Robert’s best bro!
Erika J. Adriano
Bridesmaid
Another friendship that goes back to middle school. A friendship that started by chance. From petty fights in middle school to a strong bond in high school Erika has been there since the awkward days, when no one else was there. Years past, they lost contact. But with MySpace/Facebook they reunited and the birth of Erika’s second son, turned the friendship to being family! ❤️
Jeanne A. Franke
Bridesmaid
Have you ever found that person that you could make a whole another name using your names? Well this is how CheFranke started. 10 year friendship that has lasted longer than dating relationships! When music, concert, being at the age where you can drink and sharing the same area code at one point brings you close. Countless trips, conversations and concerts Jeanne has been more like a sister that Chelsey never got!!! Making up they’re own words apparently and people saying that “semi-ly” isn’t real word...but if it’s not?! why do we get it?! ❤️ 😆
Jayar LaRoche
Bridesman
Have you meet someone for the first time and you just click?! It was hard to resist Jayar's magnetic personality. Chelsey met Jayar from work, in one interaction of "Hey girl?! Where did that girl go?!" An instant bond was formed. A brother from another mother! From late nights roaming around in Castro or random nights of just cruising around the city with the music blasting. Those times were the best. People think Steve Harvey made up the saying "Act like a lady, Think like a Man" but in all seriousness I think Jayar coined it first. The West Coast has never been the same since he went back East, it’s been a few years since his last appearance the Bay may not be ready for him!!
Jeremy Sandoval
Groomsman
Bromance #2 Robert & Jeremy met through softball (are you seeing a pattern?!) Jeremy asked Robert to play a softball tournament and the rest is history! They had an instant bond. Jeremy is a great family man & a well rounded person. When they have their bro talks, Jeremy is a Roberts go to person or just a beer & a talk Jeremy is your man. Even when life gets busy & time passes, Jeremy is always game for a weekday beer or an occasional ballgame. He’s one of Robert’s best bro’s!
Aaron White
Groomsman
Bromance #3 Robert & Aaron use to work together. An instant bond was created. Aaron is understanding & a straightforward. Traits that Robert admire’s in a person. He’s that one person you know that you can trust with your deepest thoughtful. There would be mornings when they called each other before they start their work day, say to each other “it’s going to be one of those days” Aaron is that person who would be there when you need that extra push. That’s a bro!
