Ulyvie Castillo
Matron of Honor
Kayla and I were born 3 days apart! And we are definitely opposites, but I think that’s why we get along so well, we balance each other out 😂 I have a pet bunny named Klay. Yes, he was named after Klay Thompson! I love to plan travels and anything fun, hence I’ve been dubbed the planner of the group! Always down for a fun time but also always need some time to be a homebody, it’s all a balance!
Christian Castillo
Officiant
My name is Christian, but most people know me as Beebs. It is my honor to be officiating this beautiful wedding between Kayla and Howie. I’ve had the joy of knowing them for over eight years through my wife, Ulyvie, who is Kayla’s first cousin. It’s been incredible to witness their fiery love grow stronger over the years, and I’m thrilled to celebrate their love with all of you on March 27, 2026.
Haya Pimentel
Maid of Honor
Haya, Kayla’s best friend! Love to eat and try new restaurants! I like to read and spend time with family/friends.
Dwight Abad
Best Man
Hello, my name is Dwight. I’m the grooms brother on and off the court since 2003. I love to just relax with the wifey and furr children’s, workout, hang with friends when we can in our busy lives and watch/hoop while I still can.
Reyna Kurian
Bridesmaid
I’m Reyna, the groom’s sister and a new mama to my baby girl, Nora. My days are filled spending time with my husband, daughter, and our energetic dog—a life I wouldn’t trade for anything. I’m a big foodie, love staying active, and never say no to a good Target trip. I’m looking forward to celebrating this special day with everyone!
Sean Kurian
Groomsman
I’m Sean, Howie’s good pal and brother-in law. I live in the Bay Area with my wife, daughter and dog. I enjoy staying active by working out, playing sports and spending time with my daughter as a new dad. Can’t wait to celebrate these two!
Raquel Vega
Bridesmaid
I feel so lucky to be part of this celebration and to share such a special moment with Kayla and Howie! Can’t wait for their wedding day! I enjoy spending time with family and friends, going to Pilates, trying different coffee ships, Disney and shopping.
Mark Olaguer
Groomsman
My name is Mark, everyone knows me by Deezy. First cousin of Kayla, and brother of Howie. Catch me on the course playing golf quite often, or find me watching some sort of sporting event. Big 49ers and Warriors fan. Spending time with family is key, and love going on car cruises around the coast.
Mika Olaguer
Bridesmaid
Hi! I’m Mika Olaguer - officially the bride’s younger cousin, but in my world, she’s always been my older sister. I’m 28, a Virgo Sun, Cancer Moon, Taurus Rising, and an INFJ through and through. I work in higher education as a program assistant, and in my free time you can usually find me gaming, watching anime, vibing at concerts, or out on a peaceful nature walk. I’m a sweet treat girlie who will always make room for dessert. I’m also a big cat lover and dream of adopting one (or two!) someday :)
Jed Dimaampi
Groomsman
I’m Jed. Former basketball player, current marathon runner, full-time girl dad. I’ve known Howie for more than 10+ years, and our brotherhood started on the court where neither of us ever passed the ball. Blessed to be here as his groomsman.
Annie Javier
Bridesmaid
I’m Bay Area, born and raised, but moved across the state two years ago. I am a new mama, to my babyboy. I’m an extremely shy person when it comes to new environments and people, but I try my best to make the best out of it (with the help of alcohol and time.) I actually met Kayla through Howie 5+ years ago. Our friendship grew throughout the years bonding through 2+ hour long coffee dates, heart to heart brunch dates, and supporting Logan hoop and sending late night tiktoks to each other at 1am.
Anthony Banayat
Groomsman
Anthony Banayat is a passionate sports enthusiast, with basketball holding a special place in his heart. He enjoys exploring new cuisines and has a great sense of humor that keeps everyone around him smiling. When he's not cheering for the Golden State Warriors or sharing laughs, you can find him at the local breweries. Anthony shares a unique friendship with Howie, running ones on the court, sharing memes on IG and talking about dinosaurs and Godzilla with his older cousin. Whether it's exploring the world or simply enjoying life's little moments, Anthony brings joy and laughter to those around him.
Ira Juntilla
Flower Gent
Ira Juntilla but also known as IJ. My family means the world to me, so spending time w/ them is a top priority for me. Ate Kayla is my cousin and Howie is basically family since we first met him. Working out, hiking outdoors and doing any type of sport are just a few things I like to do.
Ian Juntilla
Flower Gent
Hey everyone, my name is Ian Juntilla—proud son, brother, and self proclaimed professional lover. Born in the Bay, now dodging traffic down in Los Angeles. I like to think I’m a hybrid of a professional chaos coordinator, a stand up comic (part time circus act), and a guy who’s just trying to remember where he parked. A quote that I live by “Every challenge builds character, and every open bar builds friendships.” Cheers to the newlyweds, Kayla and Howie! May your love be as strong as the bartender’s pour.
