Best Man
Que lo que! Meet Pablo, Raymarcus' best friend and our best man of the evening. Pablo and Raymarcus met attending Roselle Park High School, back in 2010. Raymarcus a freshman trying out for the basketball team, while Pablo a well-seasoned junior. It wasn't until Pablo and Raymarcus found themselves both working at Pump It Up in Roselle Park as a way to make some extra pocket money. Since then, the two have been the best of buddies, and more importantly, life-long friends.
Maid of Honor
Meet Maekayla, Hireshel's best friend and Maid of Honor! After immigrating to the U.S in 2008, Maekayla's dad introduced her to his good friend's daughter, Hireshel. From running out of text messages in a month, oovoo, talkbox, kik, and everything in between, their friendship has withstood the tests of time. Teenage sleepovers and endless basketball tournaments for their fathers, Maekayla and Hireshel have grown through every stage of life hand in hand, and now, they take this next step in life as they always have, together.
