Matron of Honor
Becky is Brenda's older sister. They pretty much get mistaken for each other and are sometimes asked if they are twins. However, Becky is the much more sensitive and sweeter version of Brenda, as you may witness throughout the wedding...waterworks galore!
Bridesmaid
Melanie is Brenda's go to make-up artist, but more importantly, she is her future sister in law! Melanie knows all things artistic and encourages the “diy-er” in Brenda. Brenda has known Melanie for several years now, and one of the many things that they share is their love for laughter...oh, and of course, making fun of DJ and his purple eyes!
Bridesmaid
Emery is Brenda's niece. She is the embodiment of her Grandmas, Aunties and Mother, all wrapped up into one. Her animated laughter and skill for obnoxious singing are some of the traits she learned from Brenda.
Bridesmaid
Marie and Brenda go waaaaay back! They met in fourth grade and have been best friends ever since. They've shared every momentous event in each others lives and still have many more memories to create. Together, they are known as "Marenda Ademos."
Bridesmaid
Mercedes and Brenda are each others "Ride or Die!" They know they can rely on each other no matter what. They constantly pick each others brain with random questions ranging from vocabulary to math to pretty much anything. They've shared many meals... oh, and memories, and look forward to many more!
Bridesmaid
Rosemarie and Brenda have been long time friends. Their adventure began in the fourth grade and flourished after their bug collecting days. Since then, they've remained integral parts of each others lives, especially when Brenda has her moments of confusion and Rosemarie is there to clarify. Rosemarie is the Chandler to Brenda's Joey.
Best Man
Cheri is Marco's younger sister. She is the "go-to" person for all things handy and lawful. Cheri's zeal for life is evident in her outspoken nature and her loyalty to her family. Her boisterous spirit balances Marco's passive demeanor.
Groomsman
Kameron is Marco's younger brother, he's the life of the party! You may find him on the dance floor with a drink in his hand, putting Marco's two step to shame with his "kill 'em with the shoulda!"
Groomsman
Tyler is Marco's sports almanac and youngest brother. He has THE best dance moves and outscores everyone on "Just Dance." If Tyler's not dancing, you can catch him "pressing buttons" (as Marco likes to say) or drowning any meal with a bottle of ranch.
Groomsman
Rick is Marco's long time friend. From video games (with cheat codes) to the actual game, they have played over a million basketball games. Although basketball is a passion they both share, their friendship goes beyond the court. They have shared many memories and laughs, and have many more to come.
Groomsman
Jon and Marco were each others wing-man...jk! They would just like to eat and hangout at New Sun Hong Kong. Jon is like Marco's older brother, he is a steady figure in Marco's life, whether its about the stresses of life or fantasy football trades, he is always there. They've been there for each other for over 20 years, and will continue to strengthen their brotherly bond.
Groomsman
Joel and Marco are brothers from another mother. They have known each other for more than 20 years, and continue to build their bro-ship with stories about long nights. They've shared many drinks, and even many more memories, stemming from their "24 hour" days to their Vegas trips. But hey, what happens in Vegas stays Vegas ;)
Ring Bearer
Jaeden is Marco's son and Brenda's bonus son. He is the most imaginative and creative person EVER. He can draw like no other and can create costumes from some string, an old sock and construction paper. Jaeden has the purest of hearts, and is beyond entertaining with his dance moves and funny remarks.
Flower Girl
Jalaya is Marco's niece. At first she may come off shy with her soft spoken voice and sweet little hugs, but once the ice is broken, she all giggles and goofiness. In that manner, she is somewhat like Marco...quiet but goofy. And if you let Marco tell it, that's her best quality ;)
Veil Sponsor
Bonnie is Brenda's cousin. Bonnie is the sweetest person you will EVER meet! Her soft-spoken nature and kind-heartedness makes you wonder how her and Brenda are related...Aaahahaa!!! (I'm sure you can hear Brenda laughing at that remark right now). Aside from being cousins that love to laugh (and eat), they also share a passion for shopping...earning their title as "Maxxinista!"
Veil Sponsor
Jeremy is Brenda's brother-in-law. He's pretty much her older brother. He's been there since she was just a little girl carrying a typewriter from one of Becky's best friends' house, and now he's witnessing this same girl get married. Brenda was actually the witness when Becky and Jeremy got married, and she will forever remember the song he made up that day to Ginuwine's "Pony" about her pleather jacket, just ONE of his infamous remixes.
Cord Sponsor
Michelle is one of Brenda's closest friends. Michelle is selfless and loyal, always putting others before her and valuing her friendships. That's probably why she's stuck around, because Brenda (and Mercedes) always used to pull pranks on Michelle, from hiding walkie talkies under her pillow and making scary sounds at night, to flipping her box spring and mattress and locking her in her room :) P.S. don't let her RBF fool you, she's a sweetheart and will be there for you no matter what.
Cord Sponsor
Russell is one of Marco's childhood friends. They grew up together as part of the "Meadow Blok." From riding their bikes and being inducted into the Betty Ave. Football Hall of Fame to witnessing each other get married, these two have been a part of each others lives since Marco was 5 years old. Russell was like Marco's older brother, showing him the ropes at their Alma Mater and giving Marco "cool points" for being a freshman who was friends with a senior....OOOOH!
Candle Sponsor
Lilia & John are Brenda's auntie and uncle from London. Whenever Brenda and her family head out to London they are always the most gracious hosts, from opening up their home to taking them the best Chinese restaurant in London. Although they live thousands of miles away, the couldn't keep them from being a part of this blessed moment.
Grandfather of the Groom
Leroy is the man! He is a jack of all trades...from ride service for the kiddos to lawn manicurist to Salmon Croquette master, he does it all! Every now and then you'll hear his famous little tune that he sings (doop doodoo doo doooo) or his made up one-liners about the Cavaliers getting their "hips kicked." He's just as funny as he is sweet, which is just one of the great traits that Marco picked up on.
Mother of the Groom
Adrienne raised Marco into the wonderful man that he is today. She has instilled in him many of her own values, from good work ethic to family loyalty to her killer skills in Spades. She showed him how to work for what he wants, and how to put his best foot forward in everything he does. It's her desire to give her kids only the best that encourages Marco to only want the best, hence the room full of name brand shoes and clothes.
Bible Bearer
Jayden is Brenda's godson. He's at that age where looking cool is top priority, but with Jayden, he's a big ball of spontaneity. From calling motorcyles "Dandoon," to showing Mickey Mouse how to make the "SuperCrew" sign with his hands, to being the DJ for Brenda and Emery's "concerts," Jayden is...Jayden. Some may say that kids get their craziness from their Aunties, and in Jayden's case, that is most definitely true. He may be a teenager, but he's got the heart of a child.
Mother of the Bride
Elsa is pretty much Brenda in the future, or who Brenda strives to be. Everything that Brenda is, or has become, is because of her mom. Elsa always put her kids first and sacrificed everything to give them the best life they could possibly have. They both share that love for God, love for laughter, love for shopping, and of course love for eating.
Brother of the Bride
D.J. may be Brenda's younger brother, but that never stopped him from watching out for her. At the age of 6, D.J. would tell Elsa to call Brenda to check up on her while she was out with her friends. One time, Brenda came home to see D.J. laying in bed crying because she never called back to check-in. And even now, when Brenda would go out with her girlfriends, D.J. may insist that she wear a pair of basketball shorts under her dress. So it's only fitting that as her protective brother, he walk her down the aisle, passing the baton to Marco.
