Maria & Travis
Wedding Party
Menelaus Kerr
Ring Bearer
This is the couple’s first and only baby boy! He has been a blessing into our lives and has brought so much happiness into our world. Between those dimples, that adorable laugh and his undeniable strength, this child keeps us all on our toes! We look forward to watching him make his grand appearance down the aisle to witness his parents say, “I do!” We love you baby boy!
Natasia (POtasi)
Flower Child
This is the bride and groom’s most adorable niece Natasia! This little girl lights up the room with her big, old smile and her unforgettable dance moves! Our favorite memories of her involve her eating her food! She eats every meal as if it were her last and she will never be too shy to ask for some of yours also! We cannot wait to see our little flower meet us down the aisle as our little flower girl!
Carmen Filippou
Mother of the Bride
This is the bride's mama! She is the strongest, most nurturing woman that Maria has ever known and she strives to be more like her everyday! She has been her biggest supporter and has never missed a milestone ever in her life. She is full of wisdom and is the epitome of a loving mother who will sacrifice it all for her children.
Naomi Kerr
Grandmother of Groom
This is the Grandmother of the Groom. Since the day the groom was born she has done nothing but love and care for the groom. She has helped make the groom into the man he is today. Words cannot describe the amount love & thanks Travis has for his grandmother.
Pete Filippou
Uncle of Bride
This is the bride’s closest uncle! One whom she also looked up to and loved dearly her entire life. He will be walking the bride down the aisle on her special day as a favor to his brother, the bride’s father Emmanuel, who unfortunately cannot be here to do it himself physically. But her father will be with all of us in spirit as she knows that heaven will not keep him from witnessing her big day from up above.
Jason and Maria Filippou
Koumbari
These 2 are the bride and groom’s koumbari! They are both godparents of the bride and groom’s first son, Menelaus. They baptized him on 7/11/20 and will be ensuring that he is brought up in his faith within the Orthodox Church. They will play a very crucial role during the ceremony of the exchange of the crowns, Stefana, which will unite the bride and groom in matrimony within the church. Not to mention, Jason was always one of Maria’s (the bride’s) favorite cousins growing up because they had so much in common! We love them both and couldn’t imagine having anyone else to play their role than them!
Irene Jurado
Maid of Honor
This is the bride's sister, Irene also known as Chiquita Banana! The bride had the honor of being Irene's maid of honor 3 years ago and cannot wait to have her also become her very own maid of honor for the wedding. The best memory she has were the ones where the 2 of them would prank their father throughout their childhood and run for their lives right after!! We also shared a joy of watching horror movies then running to our parents as soon as it was over!
Nicole Chaves
Bridesmaid
This is Maria's bestie and closest cousin! These 2 were inseparable from diapers and stayed close up even as they grew older! She was her ride or die and they went everywhere together! They even lived together for a while which was a lot of fun between our meal prepping and hanging out together...and of course Bruno, her pooch was our hang out buddy!!
Orlany Chaves
Bridesmaid
She is the bride's cousin with whom she also grew up with and her fondest memories included seeing the pranks she used to pull with the bride's sister as they teamed up at times against Nicole and the bride.
Andrea Chaves
Bridesmaid
She is the bride's cousin who always the littlest one and her favorite memories of her was because she was so much younger than all of us, we would always love squeezing her and her nose. She was always the most adorable of us all for sure when we were growing up and was our real live teddy bear!
Jacqueline Almonte
Bridesmaid
This is the bride's most youngest and fiercest aunts! She is always so full of energy and the life of a party! I looked up to her as an older sister!! I made her a young great aunt to little Menelaus also which I love and she makes it a point to be present at all his milestones!
William Camphor
Best Man
This is one of Travis’s two best friends. They worked at McDonalds together and at that point work became fun. One day while working Travis got sent home for the day by the manager because he and William could not stop laughing and joking around. Whether it was goofing off at work, riding around under city lights or hours of discussions Travis and William developed a life long friendship. At the end of the day, Travis always knows William has his back and have always been by his side. #Rider
Joel Curry
Best Man
This is also Travis’s Best friend. Travis and Joel met at Carver High school in 2002-2003. Travis and Joel both played Basketball in the same league during the 10th grade outside of High school . Little did they know they both went to the same High school. Since High school there is not one day that goes by that Travis and Joel are not communicating over the phone. Travis has always appreciated Joel's wit, honesty and advice throughout the years.
Jonathan Jurado
Groomsman
One of the first things you will realize when speaking with Jonathan is that he has such a warm genuine personality. Travis and Jon have become really good friends and have many things in common. One thing you can count on is they keep each other on their dress game. Each time they hangout, clothes and fashion will be a topic. Lastly, if you ever need to know anything about beer Jon has got you covered!
Jorge Almonte
Groomsman
After getting to know people within Maria's family, Jorge sticks out as the person who was immediately inviting. He is also a fun person. You wont be at any party and not have a blast with this guy around. Travis says all the time that having Jorge around always guarantees an enjoyable time.
James Gayles
Groomsman
James and Travis met while working in 2010. Whether through promotion at work or working out at the gym, they have motivated each other none stop. Having a friend like James is valuable because it is very true that you are who surround yourself with. Travis is lucky to have been around James for such a long time.
