Fiorella & Christian
Wedding Party
Mariella Chujutalli
Maid of Honor
Many people have known the bride for a long time but not everyone can say that they have known her their whole lives. Well, Mariella has. This pretty girl is the bride's little sister and her FAVORITE one as well. She goes by maid of honor now ;) If you would like to apply for her MOH services (which we would highly suggest), please do so after our wedding as she is busy killing every detail there is to make this experience as perfect as it can be.
Gigi Chujutalli
Bridesmaid
This bubbly and gorgeous human has not only been the bride's favorite cousin for a while but she has also been like an older sister to the her since she moved to the US. Gigi and Fifi have shared so many trips, adventures, rooms in college, and friend groups over the last 10 years. The wedding day wouldn't be complete without her.
Sonoka Fanwar
Bridesmaid
The ride or die. The emergency contact. The BESTIE. Sono became Fifi's best friend in college and even though they had to go separate ways after graduating nursing back in 2018, they have managed to successfully maintain a long-distance relationship by visiting each other every year. This girl's presence is a must for the bride on her big day <3
Neli Flores
Bridesmaid
This sweet girl was such a huge part of the bride's college journey. From day one, her contagious energy made Fifi feel at home. Neli and Fifi shared so many adventures, laughter, boys talks, and spiritual growth together. Neli is now finishing her doctorate in OT in Ohio and she will graduate the week before the wedding, which was perfectly planned so that she could be here on time to walk down the aisle with the bride.
Zoe Ingelse
Bridesmaid
This girl was sent straight from heaven. She showed up in Fifi's life in such a unique time and has been such a blessing to her ever since. Zoe and Fifi shared the pain of grad school and the anxiety of a new job as new Marriage and Family Therapists. Zoe witnessed so closely how God put Christian and Fifi together. It only makes sense that she is there to celebrate this next step with them.
Andrea Parra
Bridesmaid
Andrea is another unexpected blessing in Fifi's life. Even though they haven't known each other for super long, Andrea has shared so many sweet memories with the bride and has first hand watched the bride and groom's relationship grow throughout the months. Andrea's God-fearing heart and genuine friendship has been a huge gift to the bride and it will be an honor to have her be a part of the big day <3
Yanina Chujutalli
Mother of the Bride
The rockstar, the superwoman, the heart of the house. Fifi always says that if she is even a third of the wife her mom is, she will have achieved her goal in life. Yanina always had a great feeling about Christian and has totally taken him as a son since he and Fifi got engaged. Mama Yanina knows best.
Ramiro Chujutalli
Father of the Bride
The man & the legend. Ramiro has been Fifi's biggest hype man and supporter since she was born. As the first and older daughter, Fifi was always daddy's little princess. His spoiled one. It definitely took one special man to get Ramiro to give Fifi's hand in marriage. Fifi does not take for granted the privilege of having her dad walk her down the aisle.
Niove Jacobo
Mother of the Groom
Sweetest woman you will ever meet. Niove's heart is bigger than the redwoods. Christian says the way his mom dedicated herself to her family is something he admires so much. Even though Niove lives in Indiana, she has made Fifi feel so loved and part of the family. We are so excited to have her with us on our big day.
Henry Pinango
Father of the Groom
If you ever wondered where Christian's musical talent came from, this is the legend himself. Encouraging Christian since he was young to pick out the different voices in a quarter as well as buying him his first Casio piano that started developing the musician Christian is today. We are excited to have Christian's father walk down the aisle with us on this special day.
Ramiro Chujutalli Jr
Brother of the Bride
Bride's baby brother who is not a baby anymore. Ramiro is the sweetest most talented boy and Fifi would not feel complete without his presence at the wedding. Also, don't forget to check out his dance moves at the reception!
Mia
Ring Bearer
Christian's first girl who has now been downgraded to side piece. JK, she is still the most spoiled one. The one that fights Fifi for Christian's attention. This 2 year-old pup will soon become the groom and bride's first child and will be the best training for them for when they decide to have humans of their own. Oh yeah, she is also in charge of getting the rings to the groom during the ceremony. Pray for her (and us).
Henry Pinango
Best Man
From big brother to mentor, best friend to counselor... this man has been everything to Christian since the day he was born. Hands down, there has been no one that has cared for Christian as much as Henry has. Christian is proud to have him as his best man.
Justin Thurber
Groomsman
There aren't many words to describe this friendship for Christian as to how amazing Justin is. After meeting in high school, Justin and Christian slowly became best friends through music, hours of playing video games, and being roommates in multiple states. Justin has been such an emotional rock for Christian and this wedding wouldn't be right without Justin as a groomsman.
Jason Ruiz
Groomsman
Scrub... yes that's right... childhood best friends, used to have a head bigger than his body and it took 21 years of eating pizza every day to make it smaller. THE OG, the one who used to sing with Christian screaming from the top of his lungs Amazing Grace in every bathroom stall with good acoustics. Taught Christian how to play the sax and led worship with him every time Christian came home to Indy. Christian met Jason when he was 6 and life has never been the same since.
Michael Lund
Groomsman
Who knew that the quiet awkward kid that never moved in dodgeball would one day be a best friend to Christian. They were in Pathfinders throughout the years and then spent 3 years living together in undergrad. Michael and Christian enjoyed many years of competitive video gaming, winning a volleyball season together and even knitting scarfs for their families. It is only fitting that Michael is a groomsman in Christian's wedding.
Larry McConnell
Groomsman
Graduating high school in the same class as Christian, Larry became a solid spiritual and emotional friend at Southern as freshmen. Together they defeated many zombies in COD, had many Friday talks about God and though Larry was only at Southern his first year, they never stopped their friendship in the years to come. We are so excited that he is flying to California to celebrate this special day with us.
Rodolpho Alves
Groomsman
3 years ago Rodolpho needed a room to stay and I just happened to have that spare room at the house I was in so I did what felt right and invited him not knowing how our friendship would grow. Rudy had a fun friend group that I became a part of and we did everything from mountain biking every place possible to hiking and visiting all national parks within a 7 hour radius and we even got Covid puppies at the same time! I’ve shared so many fun and hard experiences with Rodolpho and we are so glad he’s going to be a groomsmen in our wedding!
