Gabriela & Rakan
Wedding Party
Lidia
Matron of Honor
Gabby's older sister. Loves listening to music (it runs in the family). Type A. Typical Capricorn. Has a supportive kind husband named Brian. Two daughters Allie and Emilee. A dog named Fred. Works as an Oncology NP and is still going to school because she's relentless ;)
Laith
Best Man
Rakan's little brother. There is no one I am closer to. I like swimming and used to swim competitively. But now the only exercise I get is for my lungs through the hookah.
Marwa
Bridesmaid
Rakan's little (and favorite) sister. Recently applied to an ABSN program and wants to become a Registered Nurse. Also Gabby's favorite workout partner (don't listen to what she says).
Siman
Groomsman
Rakan's childhood best friend. I love acting and anything to do with cinema. The stage is where I'm free!
Gloria
Bridesmaid
Born and raised in East LA. Favorite things to do are dancing, eating, and taking road trips (to vegas). My birthday is the day after the wedding, so everyone is taking shots!
Loai
Groomsman
Rakan's cousin. Have lived in San Diego for almost 20 years and work in finance. Rakan and I have been close our whole lives so I'm excited to party it up for the wedding!
Cynthia
Bridesmaid
Rushed a co-ed fraternity in college and Gabby happened to be the only Latina there. After getting acquainted we got down to business and conversed over booze, music, and traveling. Now she's getting married and I'm her bridesmaid. I would say we're pretty tight. Love you Gabby (and Rakan)!
Andre
Groomsman
Met Gabby playing soccer (shocker) our first week in college. Been degenerates in crime ever since.
Julie
Bridesmaid
Met Gabby in college when I tried out for the UCI club soccer team. Quickly bonded over drinks at the welcome party and have been playing soccer together ever since. Our team may not always win first place, but we always have a good time. With us, drinks after the game is a guarantee, win or lose!
Nayan
Groomsman
Met Gabby and Rakan playing soccer in college. Now all we really do is drink, play pick-up, and talk shit on each other (and random people).
