Connor Chyr
Best Man
Joshua has known Connor since 1st grade! Growing up, they played basketball together, went to the same school for 8 years, and even went to the same church for a number of years. Connor has also seen this relationship between Raye and Joshua from the very beginning, and has always provided love, care, humor, and a listening ear. He has a special gift of making his friends feel affirmed and supported in a way that very few can. Joshua is proud to have Connor by his side on the big day!
Kelly Ogas
Bridesmaid
Ever since meeting at work, Kelly and Raye say that they “are each other’s grandmas” because of the way they instantly connected and see all the most lovely qualities of their late grandmas in each other. Kelly is a sunshine-y presence, and Raye admires the way she loves Jesus. His Spirit radiates warmly from her. You can find these two enjoying many many many coffees in their home city since they live so close by. Raye is so grateful to have her as a bridesmaid on her wedding day and as a friend.
Owen Fortis
Groomsman
Owen is Joshua’s nephew; however, he is more like a brother to him. Growing up, Owen and Joshua were two years apart but did everything together. From surfing to going to baseball games to taking the train down south to the beach, Owen has been one of Joshua’s favorite people to travel and hang out with. His gifts for speaking authentically and loving his family have been a tremendous blessing to Joshua (as well as everyone else who has gotten to know him). Even though he’s 2,500 miles away in Hawaii, his bond with Joshua feels like he’s still here in Southern California. Joshua is proud to have Owen by his side on the big day!
Andrew Ibarra
Junior Groomsman
Brother to Ashleigh, Andrew is an incredibly special person to Raye and Joshua. He was just a little one when they first started dating; and since he has grown up Josh loves seeing the love and kindness Andrew shows him at family events, and Raye admires his dedication to his many interests from science to baseball. You might find them throwing a baseball or building a droid. Joshua is proud to have Andrew by his side on the big day!
Ashleigh Ibarra
Junior Bridesmaid
Sister to Andrew, Ashleigh is the sweetest little cousin to Josh and Raye. They remember going to Disneyland with a tiny baby who has now grown into an outgoing and absolutely funny girl. You might find the girls at the Target, or rather hear them since they both love to sing. Raye is so excited to share all the fun of a wedding and have her as a junior bridesmaid. The wedding takes place on Ashleigh’s birthday, and Josh and Raye and grateful she agreed to share her special day with them.
