Pearl & Joe
You Can't Sip With Us
Dulce Reinoso
Matron of Honor
She helped name the Bride, and is also responsible for dropping her on the floor as a baby. She taught Pearl how to take care of her skin and do her makeup. People always ask who's older, so let's clear that up now. She is MUCH older. Meet the sister of the bride, the OG Reyes sibling, Dulce.
Michael Mintzer
Best Man
He's still crying about his torn down K'NEX roller coaster that was destroyed by "Godzilla", aka Joe. Even though he's the younger brother, he's more often than not, played the role of the big brother. He's the family's forever-on-retainer lawyer. Joe got the looks, but he got the brains. Meet the Best Man, Michael.
Amber Bradford
Bridesmaid
They were roommates in college, at the infamous 245 house in Fullerton. They spent hours poring over books at Borders, bingeing Grey's Anatomy, obsessing over Twilight, and dancing to Taylor Swift. She's her "person", meet Amber.
Coyote Freitag
Groomsman
He's known to howl out loud on random occasions. Yes, that is his real name but he also responds to "Yotems", "Yotey", "Dude", and "Roh-roh-rooooooo!". He met Joe in his bartending/bouncer days and they've been the best of friends since. Now turning grey much like his namesake, meet Joe's second oldest friend, Coyote.
Diondra Casarez
Bridesmaid
Since high school, they've had each others backs. From singing together in Madrigals at RHS, to living together in college, to traveling the world, they've had each other. Even though they're separated by 2,700 miles, they've always only been a phone call away. Meet the bestie, Diondra.
Dave Grills
Groomsman
Everything that can be said about this guy, can't be put onto the website for moral and legal reasons. He's known as Grillage, the Grill Master, Grillz and "Cactus Dave". Meet the worst dancer at the wedding, Dave.
Susan Perry
Bridesmaid
She is the reason Pearl spends her Monday nights watching the Bachelor(ette). They met in college and became friends instantly. Always up for a fun night out, a crazy trip, a bottle of wine and some charcuterie, or a coffee break at Starbucks. She's an amazing conversationalist, just ask the random Lyft drivers telling her their life story. Meet the Best and the Freighbor, Susan.
Mark Reinoso
Groomsman
He was Pearl's first BIL (brother-in-law). And now Joe's too. Always laughing and cracking jokes. He's the kind of father you'd like to be. Meet the brother-in-law, Mark.
Teresa Maryanski
Bridesmaid
The sweetest person on this list, with a heart and booty of gold. Since their days at Jurupa Middle School, she has been the greatest of friends. She's always up for a boozy brunch or a little dancing. Don't let her innocent face fool you, meet my girl, Teresa.
Justin Singer
Groomsman
Joe became friends with him during his tenure at Nokia in Chicago. What he lacks in height, he makes up for in pure passion and love for everything he does. If there is one word to describe him, it's "AMAAAAAZING" (Bruv). He has a giant heart and a laugh to match. Please welcome the J Man, J Sing, J Shizzle, Justin.
Andreea Reyes
Bridesmaid
Pearl and her mom flew to Mallorca and met her for the first time in 2016. She was the woman that her brother was eager for them to meet. A few months later, they became sisters. She's a happy and loved addition to the Reyes clan and the best mom to Oliver and Mylo. Meet the family Instagram influencer, the sister-in-law, Andreea.
Ulysses Reyes
Groomsman
He's Pearl's older brother and he ages like Benjamin Button. Quiet but like a sniper, when he delivers a one-liner, he's just that good. He nearly killed Pearl in a Volkswagon Bug when they were young, but made up for it by buying all her friends drinks in college. Meet the Man of the Reyes house, Ulysses, aka Les.
Victoria Tran
Bridesmaid
They met at a party called, "Matt-a-Palooza". Someone said they looked alike. There were only 2 Asians at the party so it was clear who they were talking about. They've been laughing together ever since. Workouts and dim sum are their favorite type of friend dates. Have you ever met a Marine Lawyer that was as pretty, smart, funny, and cool as her? Meet the baddest JAG in the USMC, (*Major*) Victoria.
John Chi
Groomsman
Be careful of his kindness, he’s an incognito practical joker. He has a sweet face, but a devilish mind. He brings the Chi everywhere he goes, but that could be cause it’s his last name. Please welcome the the yin to Joe’s yang, John.
Matthew Ramirez
Bridesman
The aforementioned "Matt-a-Palooza" was named after him. Many know him as Matt or Larrrrry. Pearl knows him as Brown Guy. If you knew her in college, you also knew BG. He's the reason Pearl can't drink Jager. Everyone, meet the BGF (best guy friend), Brown Guy/Matt/Larry.
Billy Clarke
Groomsman
He's the world's worst karaoke singer and voted most tone deaf in his class. He loves to laugh and has an infectious attitude. Put on Deadmau5 and watch him spin like a top. Hide your wife, meet Billy.
Harlow Reinoso
Junior Bridesmaid
She was the one who made Pearl an Auntie. She brought light and joy during a time when the family felt it's greatest sadness. She is incredibly sassy and very funny when she's not trying to be. Meet the niecey-poo, our Tik Tok star, Harlow.
Hudson Reinoso
Ring Bearer
He stole the show when he came into the world. A gentle giant and the one who shows the most love. He loves when his Auntie Pearl visits, and always asks her to “please stay” when she’s about to leave. He's Pearl's little heart. Watch out ladies, meet our heartbreaker, Hudson.
Riley Tran
Flower Girl
The sweetheart, the cutie pie. She gets hurt everytime she plays with her cousins. Meet the lovely little Riley.
Magnus Macion
Ring Bearer
Quiet, shy and so sweet. He told me that if he took off his tuxedo jacket, he looks like a waiter. He also said he didn't want to be a ringbearer because he only wants to bring rings to his own mom. Tough luck little guy, everyone meet Magnus.
Payton Tran
Flower Girl
Riley's little sister, and the cutest pout you've ever seen. She said "Yes" to being a flower girl but doesn't know what it means. Meet the sweet and sassy, Payton.
Oliver Reyes
Coin Bearer
Joe's favorite and the one who opened his heart to wanting children. The best Big Brother to little Mylo. Shy at first, my boy is Wicked Smart, meet Oliver.
Rhodora Reyes
Mother of the Bride
Bow down to our Queen. Everyone loves her and it's easy to know why. Sharp tongue and a heart of gold. She is the reason her kids are where they're at, who they are, and why they love as hard as they do. The original social butterfly, it's easy to see where Pearl gets her social skills. Meet the matriarch, the Queen, Rhodora.
Christine Paganelis
Mother of the Groom
The woman, the Legend. Joe would not have the softer side of himself without her. She's always willing to help anyone, anytime, anywhere. Sometimes referred to as "Chrisy-Moo", "Frecks", and at one point, "Sharon Stone". Lovingly referred to by her son and his friends as "Ma". Meet the Momma of the Momma's Boy, Chris.
Barry Mintzer
Father of the Groom
Who let Geraldo in here?! Often mistaken as Tom Selleck, he is also one of the few men in history to rock a 'stache successfully for the last 40 years. A natural charmer, it's easy to see where Joe gets it from. Meet the Patriarch of the Mintzers, Barry.
Deborah Mintzer
Stepmother of the Groom
She's Joe's second mom, who always treated him as her own. Caring, loving and always supportive. A real joy to have in their life, meet Debbie.
Heide Banks
Welcome Speaker
The smallest woman with the biggest personality you will meet at the wedding. She has the biggest heart and is a constant light in Joe’s life. She’s the reason Joe no longer wears paisley (thank God!). She is his spiritual connection confidant and a big driving force in his life. He credits a lot of who he is today to her. She’s the only one who always believed Joe would get married. Meet Joe's favorite aunt and the Welcome Speaker, Heide Banks.
Michael Dyer
Officiant
Hopefully he's not too busy filming a show or movie in Hollywood to make it to the wedding. A truly kind and beautiful soul. He radiates love and positivity, we can't wait for him to marry us! Be careful of his sultry eyes, meet the Man, Michael Dyer!
