Charlene & Luke
Wedding Party
Randolph Hammer
Best Man
Truly the Best Man... you’ll ever meet.
Walter De Leon
Groomsman
The first cousin to both threaten me (Luke) bodily harm, and welcome me into the family.
Tommy Hwang
Groomsman
Never leaves your glass empty.
Jonathan Cadiente
Groomsman
Brother!!! But not quite really my brother.
Wooddy
Groomsman
Long time friend and occasional tattooer of the groom.
Therese Jane Rebong
Maid of Honor
Long distance best friend, and one of my biggest advocates and cheerleaders in life. She believes in me even when I fail to do so. She has seen me through SO much life and pushes me to go for what I deserve in all of its aspects. One of the most unabashedly real people you will ever meet, and without whom I’d have no one to understand my random jokes, rants and weirdness and that she convinces me are quite charming.
Erica de Leon
Bridesmaid
She was a sister when I had none... including sharing with me all of the childhood torment and teen angst I’d have missed out on. We’ve lived under the same roof so many times, shared beds more often than I can remember, girl-fought frequently, cried together even more, and share a bond unlike any I’ll ever know.
Leslie Hwang
Bridesmaid
She tried to leave us behind by moving down south but I wouldn’t let her go. Despite the distance, we stayed connected and close; we went through some big things together, both fun and not-so-fun, grew up together, and grew stronger together. I’ve had her support through it all, stood by her as she married the love of her life, and now get to have her by my side as I marry mine. That’s what I call full circle.
Delta Rae Gamueda
Bridesmaid
Repeat room-mate and full time soul-sister and support system during our school years and in building my family and home away from home in the Central Valley; the sister I needed during life’s major changes when I was miles away from my family and the familiar; the one I can count on shimmying to the front of a crowd or concert with and who I know for a fact will never leave my side; and the girl who just gets me and is just as random, eclectic, outdoorsy and scatterbrained as I.
Jessica Alejandrino
Bridesmaid
The one who perfectly embodies the word “friend” to everybody, whether she’s known you for ten years or ten minutes. Also the one you can count on to be down for anything and everything if that’s what will make you happy. She’s so thoughtful, so selfless. She’s the girl you always want on your team, and who I’m so lucky to have on mine for life. (She’s also my Bay Area anchor and I am convinced is the reason I have more than 5 friends...)
