Wedding Party
Ryan
Best Maid
A friendship forged in architecture school in Chicago. Somehow Jeisler and Ryan managed to travel to Los Angeles at the same time more than a decade ago to attend UCLA. A shared humor of "That's what she said" jokes and "Got em's" keeps them laughing after all these years, and numerous "The Office" gifs and quotes get shared frequently to this day.
Lily
Maid of Honor / Sister
Lisa's only sibling, who never fails to drag her along for boba/coffee runs. Throughout grade school, Lily was known as "Lisa's little sister", but grew into her own when she moved away for college. They've had a close bond their entire lives and continue to nurture it with constant phone calls, family trips, dim sum meals, and matcha. Lily's super power is being able to eat a whole family sized bag of Hot Cheetos in one sitting.
Jayvee
Groomsman / Brother
A bond created and fostered by their lovely parents. While their days of playing Megaman X4, Crash Team Racing, and wearing matching child outfits are over; the Salunga brothers continue to connect about their daily lives and careers, sharing stories of struggle and triumph. And once basketball season hits, a post-game text chain about the Chicago Bulls ensues.
Devin
Groomsman
A friendship born of graduate school at UCLA, and a friendship strengthened through bowling. Jeisler and Devin's professional and personal lives have been so intertwined that the conversations capture a wide range from the latest building or project they are working on to what type of bowling ball is going to be used Wednesday night.
Lucy
Bridesmaid
Their friendship started in middle school. Lucy and Dion barged into the school office screaming "We found you!". Ever since that day, they've had countless movie nights, tennis matches, board game nights, friendsgivings and food outings. 16 years later, Lisa caught Lucy's wedding bouquet!

Robert
Groomsman
Another friendship manifested from UIC's architecture program, and held together through periodic Skype calls (pre Zoom) during their separate graduate studies. Rob was the first to celebrate Jeisler's 21st birthday by sharing a midnight walk to 7-eleven. Rob grabbed a six-pack of Modelo and returned to their late night of model making.
Dion
Bridesmaid / Officiant
Dion, Lucy, and Lisa became a trio in middle school. Dion and Lisa attended the same high school, and have supported each other into adulthood. They've managed to run into random shenanigans like chasing boy bands, be featured in a fast food commercial, and getting stuck in Mexico City in the midst of a pandemic. Dion was the one to convince Lisa to download a dating app, which led her to meeting Jeisler. Dion is a proud mama of the sweetest Orange Tabby.
