Jannica has spent many years now talking about how smart her cousin Josh is. We have been blessed with him moving his career to Southern California and allowing us the opportunity to get to know each other better. We shared our first Thanksgiving together and we look forward to many more. Thanks for representing Jannica's side with such love!
Melissa Tsai

One of Jannica's childhood friends from grade school was having their 18th birthday back in 2006, just a couple of days after they've graduated from high school. Melissa was at that same celebration and met Jannica later on that day. From then on, they've stayed friends & have gone through a lot crazy things together. They've managed to get back on track with their friendship after Jannica left for college abroad.
Constantine Menor

Cons became fraternity brothers with Brian back in our college years. While David was never apart of the frat they definitely grew as brothers. From countless nights playing pool, partys at David’s house and even helping David and Jannica move into their new home. Cons has been there for many memories
Natasha Torres

Natasha is David's older sister whom we are grateful to have and be a part of our big day. Through caring & love we became friends for the past 7 years & through marriage I'm thankful and blessed that I'll be able to call her my sister-in-law.
Peter Tejada

Peter has stood by Natasha's side for many year's now. Over the years we have learned so much... mainly about movies other random facts, but regardless we loved every second of it. We have shared laughs and drinks. We couldn't see any one more right for the role you play in our lives.
