Wedding Party
Miranda Garza
Bridesmaid
Hello everyone! My name is Miranda! Or as Lauren calls me "Mirandees". I have known Lauren since we were basically babies!! She's my cousin and best friend. I am so proud of you Lauren and everything that you have accomplished. I'm so so happy for you and Jacob. I can't wait to see what the future holds for you guys. My favorite memory with Lauren is hard to choose because we have so many! But it would probably be making funny videos when we were little and laughing until we cried. A little about myself - I enjoy being outside, trying new things, and being spontaneous.

I'm beyond thrilled to stand by Lauren's side on her wedding day!

Jeneva Del Bosque
Mother of the Groom
Hi, I’m Jacob’s mom, Jeneva. I’d like to share when i first met Lauren. I asked Jacob what makes Lauren special to him and he says mom Lauren is beautiful, intelligent, unique & creative. And he loves being by her side. I see all of that & more every time I’m around them. I’ve loved watching them grow into a loving couple. I’m also a proud grandma to a beautiful granddaughter Sofia & handsome baby boy Victor III. I love knitting beanies & blankets for them. Hopefully I’ll be knitting many more. I also have a 4yr mini schnauzer Jax, & my grandpups Leia & Waggies that I absolutely adore. I look forward to seeing you all soon to celebrate their special day. Love you both, Mom(Jeneva)

Hi! I’m Cailin, a longtime friend of Lauren’s. I love nature, traveling, gardening, and being a momma! A few of my favorite memories with Lauren is our early morning trips out to Bob Hall Pier to watch the sunrise and our trip to Smoky Mountains National Park. I’ve had the privilege of witnessing Lauren and Jacob’s love story unfold, and I’m so excited to see them begin this beautiful new chapter of marriage together.
Christian Leal
Groomsman
Hey hey hey, my name is Christian! I met the twins back in middle school, where I had the pleasure of having one in every class during 7th grade and the other during 8th. Our friendship runs deep — from all the riffing and making jokes, to playing poker, to enjoying and playing music together. I also had the honor of meeting Lauren during my first class of high school. Thinking back to Prom, I'm happy to see their love for each other has grown to this point and they're ready to take the next step. A couple of years ago, my fiancée and I had an amazing time hosting them in the PNW — taking them to local spots here in Seattle, to Mount Rainier, and to the Bumbershoot music festival to see Pavement, one of Jacob's favorite bands. I can't wait to enjoy this moment with all of y'all as we watch Jacob and Lauren exchange their vows and celebrate them taking their first steps into marriage. ❤️
Steve Garcia
Father of the Bride
Hi, I’m Lauren’s dad. One of the memories I hold closest is all those mornings driving her to Grant Middle School, the two of us singing our hearts out to Maroon 5’s She Will Be Loved. At the time, I didn’t realize how meaningful that song would become…but now it’s come full circle. She will be loved — and Jacob, you’ve shown that so clearly. It fills me with so much joy to think about the life Lauren and Jacob are beginning together, and all the memories they’ll create side by side. I’m so proud of both of you and everything you’ve already accomplished. Lauren, my sweet daughter, I love you more than words can say.
Laura Garcia
Mother of the Bride
Hello everyone! My name is Laura Garcia and I’m the mother of the bride. Our family is full of joy and gratitude that Jacob and Lauren are going to embark on a new chapter together in marriage. Over the years, we have witnessed them grow together and they even have developed similar traits while still maintaining their unique personalities. I still remember when Lauren’s dad shared Jacob was going to propose to Lauren in Hawaii on a trip they planned to surprise her! Her ‘Momo’ always said Jacob was a good young man and was also happy to hear the news. I have many fond memories of Lauren and Jacob but one that is my absolute favorite is when Jacob, Lauren, Gabriel, and Christopher were all together in living room playing guitars. Their passion for music and talent is moving. Family is everything ❤️ We also enjoy trying all new foods together since we are foodies. And when we went to San Miguel …the horse back riding …I just remember them telling us to close our eyes and trust the horse while we were going down steep rocks lol 😆
Nhi Mai
Bridesmaid
Hello, everyone! My name is Nhi, I’m one of Lauren’s besties from college! I have 2 fur babies: Leo and Mochi, who are my entire world! I love working out, drinking coffee/matcha, and I’m a big foodie! My heart is so full with happiness to witness Lauren and Jacob’s relationship continue to grow as they step into this new chapter together! I have so many fun memories with Lauren, but my favorite has to be our time in BioChem lab. We would constantly overthink everything and were always the last pair to leave. It might sound boring, but if you know us, you’d understand, we were always laughing and giggling about something… even during titration 🤣💖

Jonathan Gonzalez
Groomsman
Hello everyone, my name is Jonathan Gonzalez. I’ve known Jacob practically my whole life. We actually met way back in Mrs. Richard’s Pre-K class, so we go way, way back. One of my first vivid memories of Jacob and Lauren together was at our senior prom in 2016. From that moment on, I could tell they were something special. It was clear they were a perfect match for each other and now here we are! I’m beyond honored to stand by Jacob’s side as a groomsman and to witness this incredible chapter in both of their lives. Wishing Jacob and Lauren a lifetime of love, happiness, and countless blessings in their amazing marriage!
Jason Ochoa
Best Man
My name is Jason, I am Jacob’s twin brother and feel blessed to be named his best man, but not surprised. I was a pretty clear shoe in here. Getting to stand by my twin brother’s side on a day that I know he has been dreaming about since the day he met Lauren, is a feeling that is hard to put into words. I have so many favorite memories with Jacob and Lauren, from watching them become the best dog parents, to having jam sessions in their living room, and simply just having them by my side through life. They both make me so proud with how much they love each other, and support each other as they both go through life accomplishing amazing things. I couldn't ask for a better person to be with my twin, and already consider Lauren a sister at this point. Let us all celebrate their next chapter of adventure, partnership, and continued love!
Josh Medina
Groomsman
Hi, my name is Josh, Jacob's cousin and basically the triplet to the twins!
