Wedding Party
Matthew Doan
Groom
What's up everybody! My name's Matthew Doan aka Matt aka Doan. I am the lucky soon to be husband to the beautiful Angelica Ramos. I'm excited to start a life with her and see if we can get through adulting without going completely gray (I'm already halfway there). I'm excited for our wedding and to see what our future holds. I love and appreciate you all for being a part of this wedding, now let's get it! :)
Angelica Ramos
Bride
Hello! I'm Angelica and I'm the Bride! Most people call me Gel or Angelica or some variation in between. I am very lucky to be marrying Matt and build our life together, not only as a married couple, but always first and foremost, as best friends. I'm so excited for our wedding and am so glad to be surrounded by family and friends. Yeahhh buddy!
Abraham Moya
Best Man
Hi everyone, I’m Abe (most folks call me Moya) and I have the absolute honor of being Matt’s best man. We met back in 2023 and quickly realized we were platonic soulmates brought together by the Marine Corps, a shared love for staying active, A24 movies, irreverent humor, and the uncanny fact that we basically look like each other’s stunt double. And as fate would have it, our partners ended up being a hilarious cultural role-reversal like we’re each dating the other’s demographic. It’s confusing on paper, but it works once we’re all hanging out.
Nikki Borgel
Maid of Honor
My name is Nikki Borgel and I am one of the Maids of Honor! I met Gel the first week of undergrad and we've been inseparable ever since we exchanged life stories on the sidewalk outside my freshman dorm building. I'm so excited to stand by her side while she marries the love of her life!
Kelsey Reimer
Maid of Honor
Hello Everyone! My name is Kelsey Reimer and I am one of Angelica's Maid of Honor! I first met Gel in the 5th grade in an after school choir rehearsal. I was awkward and shyly sitting by myself. Before rehearsal started, a few moments go by and I hear a voice (Gel's Voice) come from behind my right shoulder; "Why are you sitting by yourself, that's weird, come sit over here with us!" Obviously, I went and sat with her and our friendship started right in that moment and here we are 16 years later! I'm such in awe to be a part of her wedding day of which we talked and dreamed about for years and is finally becoming a reality! I can't wait to witness her marry her best friend, Matt! Im so excited to see you all and share the love and joy on this special occasion.
Jacob Gann
Groomsman
Hi, This is Gann! I'm currently living down in North Carolina working at a food distribution center called MDI. I'm a dog dad, a video game addict, and a pokemon fiend, but I still like my long walks on the beach. (Gann is also Matt's long time friend since 2017.)
Tiffany Nguyen
Bridesmaid
Hey y’all, I’m Tiffany, official uber-pro bridesmaid here. I met Matt and Gel back in 2023, and we were genuinely so excited to have found another couple that to our surprise reflected that of our own. I truly believe it was fate that brought them into our lives, and fate that will carry our friendship through out all the funny phases of life. Gel is one of the most genuine, kind-hearted people I’ve ever met, and I am beyond blessed to stand by her side on her big day and see her upgrade from girlfriend status to wifey status!
Vincent Pagan III
Groomsman
Hi everyone, my name is Vincent, but I usually go by Vinny and I’m one of Matts Groomsmen. I first met Matt in Radford Virginia back in 2019 after graduating college and moving down south. When I first moved, and was trying to make friends in the area, I found out that there was a local chapter for our Fraternity, which quickly led me to a bar, which led me to Matt. Matt was one of the first people I became friends with after moving, and he quickly became one of my closest friends. Matt and I bonded over our shared hooliganism, sense of humor, impromptu gym sessions, and a love for watching dudes fight shirtless.
Abagail Lawson
Bridesmaid
Hello! I'm Abbyee! I'm a crazy cat lady with 3 beautiful pugs. I've been married for 3 years and got married on Halloween. I work in nursing and I've know Gel for years. I am a bridesmaid. Gel's older brother, Jose, was one of my first loves and that's how we (Gel and I) met. I, unfortunately, never got the chance to marry him (Jose) before he passed, but Gel is still my sister since day one.
Christopher Doan

My name is Chris, i’m the (younger) brother of the groom and am one of the groomsmen. I love fishing and spending my time outdoors. I’m also an avid music enthusiast.
Samson Einsig

Sam is Gel's bridesdude and is an amazing source of support in Gel's life. Sam is an amazing dad to Nikki and Gel's goddaughter, Charlie. He also writes beautiful poetry and always offers a listening ear for every moment in life, even if it's small.
Sarah Minden
Bridesmaid
My name is Sarah Minden. I am Gel’s bridesmaid. I met Gel in college and she thought I didn’t like her. But through helping her study for her sorority test and almost getting her run over by a rugby player, a friendship that has lasted the ages formed. You’re welcome Gel! We have been through finals, heartbreak, beach trips, eating at my families dinner table, my dangerous driving, getting lost, my wedding, random phone conversations while in the bath tub, their engagement, and so many more moments that solidified her place in my life. My parents love Gel and she doesn’t know, but she has an official chair at their table. Gel will always have a place at our family table and I can’t wait to officially add a chair for Matt!
Kevin Isley
Groomsman
Kevin is Matt's older brother and a groomsmen. Kevin is a caring dad of four and one of those four is our adorable ring-bearer, Knox. He is a good ol' boy who likes ranch on his pizza.
