Leilani & JayR
Wedding Party
Nicole Arriaga
Maid of Honor
It was like love at first sight. I met Lani at my previous job. She was getting a hotel room for her cousin, we locked eyes and my heart knew we’d be friends forever. Our friendship will always stay strong and I will forever love her. My life has been amazing with Lani in it.
Jayson Acorda
Best Man
Jayson and JayR met in elementary school and still remain close after 25+ years. JayR and Jayson aren't the best at telling stories but rather best at manifesting it through dancing and drinking - definitely more on the latter. Jayson can always rely on JayR and the very reason why Jayson calls him a brother of his.
Rona Luna
Bridesmaid
Rona is Lani's older sister. If there's one thing Rona and Lani have in common other than being related to each other is that their family is everything to them. In fact, Rona can attest that regardless if you are blood or not, Lani will take care of those who are in her life.. just as long as you are on her good side :)
Francis Sibal
Groomsman
I've known Jayr for over 19 years, we met at a P.E. class during our junior year of high school. All I can remember from the first time meeting Jayr was laughing the whole time we worked out and I havn't stopped since. Jayr is very funny always ready to make everyone laugh, a down-to-earth kind of a guy. He's always there if you ever need him, the life of the party, my snoring partner, my brother. I Love You, Bro.
Katherine Gandeza
Bridesmaid
Kathy and Lani first met in 2009 when Kathy and Lani's brother, Jeff first started dating and they hit it off right away. Kathy and Lani share so many fun memories together from being drunk and walking around the mall on days they had nothing to do to that one time a dog chased them down the street while being pregnant.
Jeff Torio
Groomsman
I met Jayr through the car scene back in 2007. As he started to date my sister, we got to hang out more and saw a different side of him other than him standing next to his car. He’s a different breed that looks into what he’s doing and will go over the top to either be the best or do better. He’s also a great father to Kaleia and Noe and soon to be the best husband to my sister.
Jasmine Dela Cruz
Bridesmaid
Jasmine is Lani's cousin. In fact, Jasmine didn't even know they were cousins until she moved to San Jose, CA when she was eight years old. Lani and Jasmine have many fond memores together but one that Jasmine will cherish forever was when they celebrsted Jasmin's 21st Birthday. Let's just say, Lani is the reason she fed her cousin saimin at 2 am.
Gyrex Hernandez
Groomsman
I met Jay-R back in 1996. He had some super white khakis along with his pimpin' Penny's. This was in 1996. Edito is one of my BFF's. I met Leilani thru Edito when he hollered at that. Lani and Jayr are a super-loving couple that makes sure Gyrex is always safe and okay.
Eufro Roxas
Groomsman
I’ve known Jayr ever since one of the first days of 8th grade. He, without hesitation, approached me, the new kid, and made me feel at home. 21 years later here we are, 7 brothers from different mothers. My Fondest memory of those two was just the fun and excitement they shared on an everyday basis and how as partners they would demolish a hotel room ”Together” mid-day (afternoon delight).
Ermena Doria
Bridesmaid
Mena and Lani met through the Maid of Honor, Nicole. Mena would always see Lani around whenever she would hang out with Nicole. They kept in touch and would always find themselves going out and party together. Naturally, Mena and Lani became really good friends ever since. Mena is very close to Lani and Jayr and feels forever grateful to have them be part of her life.
Agnes Solsoloy
Bridesmaid
Agnes is JayR's older sister. Leilani and Agnes met when Lani and JayR first started dating in 2011. Leilani is an incredible person inside and out and a serial spreader of kindness and love for her friends and family. From hitting the hiking trails to the spontaneous late-night food trips; we keep the good times rolling and I can't wait to have her be official as part of the family.
Albert Lardizabal
Groomsman
Jay-r and I have known each other since we were 13 years old. I remember we had PE class together and we would always compete to see who would finish running a mile the fastest. Since then, we started hanging out more outside of school, rollerblading everywhere, dancing, and eventually becoming brothers. Jay-r and Lani always had my back no matter what. They are the most real and caring couple who never fails to entertain and make us all laugh. I’m blessed to have these amazing people in my life.
Juliet Works
Bridesmaid
I’ve known Leilani for about 19 years when I moved to California from Hawaii and got together with her cousin who is now my husband. We’ve always hung out since the beginning. Leilani has always been there for me when I needed her; someone to talk to, someone to drink with, someone to eat with, and especially someone to nap with…. HAHA! What we do best until this day, is going out to eat and trying new foods and restaurants.
Wesley Casco
Groomsman
I’ve known Jay-R for 23 years. Edito and I met back in middle school and we’ve been brothers ever since. It’s never a dull moment with Jay-R because of his playfulness and notorious dirty mind. He’s always been quite the social butterfly. I’m honored to be one of his groomsmen.
