Wedding Party
Krisha
Maid of Honor
Carmen's best friend. She's the most protective person ever. She's kind, sweet, and the life of the party. Watch out for her dance moves! Takes Carmen out dancing and spoils her at a level that rivals Christian. They can never have enough girl time. From concerts and dances to baking and just talking, they just want to be together 24/7! They communicate everyday and when they can't, they start missing each other immediately. Beware she will throw hands for Carmen!
Jackson
Best Man
A true dude – what else is there to say? One of Christian’s biggest advocates, Jackson has been an integral part of Christian’s life since their friendship formed. Confidantes for the good and bad, many laughs and tears shared through the easy and hard, and ain’t a damn thing changed as far as their friendship goes. They m-m-m-make each other happay – it’s a real heart and armor situation.
Jessica
Bridesmaid
Jess. Our sweet Jess. There for her friends and family no matter what. Carmen's very close friend. Carmen and Jess spend lots of time together eating Thai food! Jess also loves to give Carmen the mom look when Carmen doesn't let her spoil her. She loves the Kingdom Hearts video game series. She and Carmen spend a lot of time talking about Kingdom Hearts and sending each other the cool merch they find for it.
Ryan
Groomsman
Once accurately described as, “a pretty chill white dude!”, Ryan has been a respected friend for many years. He has had an impressive evolution over the years, but has always had time to get the gang together for a hang, help set up an impromptu kickback, or even just lend a needed ear. Another friend who has left the nest to build his life in another part of the country – Ryan’s visits echo excitement and good times in the hearts of those he has built connections with.
Viviana
Matron of Honor
Carmen's big sister. Even though she is sister by blood, she is Carmen's other mom. She helped raised Carmen and has been there for every step of the way. She is known as Carmen's "Nana." Carmen says she cannot live without her Nana. Felipe, Viviana, Christian, and Carmen love their double dates to Bull Shooters to play darts. Viviana wins a lot of the time!
Felipe
Bridesman
Carmen's brother-in-law/godfather. He's been in Carmen's life since she was ten years old. A father figure in her life, a big goof ball. He's been there for every big step in Carmen's life giving her love and support. He loves to rile up Viviana (his wife) when playing darts! Spoils both of Viviana and Carmen to rotten princesses.
Jackie
Bridesmaid
Christian's cousin, but in this instance Carmen's friend and bridesmaid. Jackie is a wonderful person. Carmen's confidant. She always there to listen to her struggles and a shoulder for her to lean on. She's Carmen's new sister. Helps Carmen with outfit suggestions and make-up ideas, And then Carmen shows her the final product very proudly.
Gabriel
Groomsman
Christian’s cousin and long-time coachee. Their relationship has evolved over the last two decades from small children playing games, to a tutor-babysitter dynamic, to mutually respecting adults playing games. Times change and life can get stressful, but they still find time to reconnect, dive into their shared hobbies, and laugh the day away. He continues to surprise and impress those around him – don’t underestimate his power.
Kelsey
Bridesmaid
Carmen absolutely adores her Kelsey....So does Steph. Kelsey is a gorgeous adventurous girl. She lives across the country and Carmen hate that. They catch up when they can. Lots of video calls. Carmen does wish they could have more. Carmen thinks Kelsey gives the best hugs ever. Kelsey is super protective of Carmen and Steph, so watch out!
Conor
Groomsman
Conor has been Christian’s compadre for many years. School friends during the awkward days where we tried to figure out who they were, brother-in-arms during the Vice City days where they worked through life’s tougher trials and hoped for the fruits the future would hold, to now proud friends excited to hear each other’s successes/progress/ and beloved partners. Our eyes now happily look toward the future and only look (out)back to fondly reminisce at days full of leisure time.
Steph
Bridesmaid
Carmen's dear friend. They met when they were 17 at ASU freshmen orientation. Spent one day together and then ran into each other one day during college months later. Meant to be friendship! Steph and Carmen spend a lot of time playing Mario Kart and eating pizza (that's what Kelsey and Christian would say). Sometimes these two are so deep in conversation, next thing you know they've spent half an hour in the car just talking about life.
Randy
Groomsman
R-R-R-Randyyyy and Christian are Bros4lyfe, ride-together-die-together friends who are ready to run that back- run that back at any turn. There really is no shortage of references or inside-joke connections between these two, and if you can stomach the dynamic, you are typically in for a really good time. If you are trying to have a low key, mild time, consider leaving one of them out; even after a hiatus, the team known as “Minority Report” still runs thangs.
Patrick
Groomsman
Christian is fortunate to surround himself with some funny, smart friends, but no one can also hit quite the same level of silly humor or understand Christian’s………interesting mental connections like Patrick. From hacking and modding existing electronics, to working on his own tunes and vidya, to helping run a household and family of his own – Christian takes pride in watching his friend make strides in life. Need a new jam? Stuck on a hard level? Having some difficulties in your life? Rest assured that Patrick always has a hot tip or a sweet strat to share.
Taylor
Groomsman
One of Christian’s longest companions, Taylor is a man of many interests and hobbies, and he is happy to share what he has or knows with interested friends. Despite many of Christian’s friends having intrigue in cinema, gaming, or random internet entertainment, Christian and Taylor have always been able to share and enjoy a subsect of all those areas that others foolishly ignore. You would be hard-pressed to find a friend who is more ready to lend a hand or be there for you when you needed help, even if you weren’t ready to ask for it.
Jenny
Bridesmaid
Carmen's sister/best friend. Jenny and Carmen met freshmen year at ASU. They love their walks and long conversations about life. They enjoy each other's company and never need fancy outings as long as they are together. Even just laying down on the sofa together is the best thing ever for these two sisters.
Andrew and Alan
Carmen's and Christian's Nephews
These adorable kiddos are Jenny's sons and Carmen's nephews. It just takes a smile from these boys to melt Carmen's heart. They love hopping and dancing with their Tia Carmen when she visits them.
John
Groomsman
John! John! John! John! Christian and John’s friendship is nothing to spit at. As far as contemporaries go, only Carmen and John have had the pleasure of sharing a roof with Christian for many years and can understand the patience and strength involved in cohabitating with such a specimen. These two are peas in a pod, and “Los TelemunDos” get along in the sharpest, often meanest, and best way possible. Laughs are important for any friend group, but laughs are cheap; They go for gasps.
