Mary Grace & Michael
Wedding Party
Lauren Schofield
Matron of Honor
When I met lauren in 1st grade I just knew we were going to be best friends forever. She's a bubbly, fun-loving and humble person who has been a constant and steady light in my life. She has been there through every milestone and has made my life so much sweeter. Without her, I have no idea who I would be today. Her patience and caring nature throughout these years has been priceless to me. She's simply incredible and I am so lucky to have her as my sister.
Ian Favila
Best Man
My Best Man. My Brother. My Idol. He's been there from the beginning and I owe a lot of who I am to him.
Peggy Crain
Maid of Honor
Where do I even begin with this girl. For the past 20+ years we have made the best memories together. She can make me laugh until my face turns blue and has been a rock in my life to lean on. She loves her friends so fiercely and I am so honored she chose me as a best friend and will never take that for granted. We have gone through all of life's moments side by side. We even work at the same place and get to visit each other at work. I never get sick of this girl. She has shaped me into the person I am. My true sister and best friend forever.
Jordan Ellis
Groomsman
He is one of the quirkiest, weirdest, most unique guys I know, which, makes him one of my favorites.
Priyanka Agrawal
Maid of Honor
Priyanka is my life twin. I always say how lucky I am to have her in my life. She is the reason I tried one more time to become a doctor and she gives me the most confidence with achieving my goals. I can never thank her enough. I am beyond lucky and thankful to have grown up with her. It is not every day you can say you've gone to elementary school, middle school, high school, college and medical school with your best friend.
Nithin Reddy
Groomsman
Maximum energy at maximum volumes for maximum amount of times. There's never a dull moment with him.
Christine Centeno
Bridesmaid
Christine and I are college besties, we first met over our love for dance. She is my forever dance partner. I cannot imagine my life without her. She has this constant hunger for adventure that is infectious. She forces me out of my shell and I am so grateful she does. She is so talented with everything creative and I love how she sees the world. We have had so many amazing times and I cannot wait to have even more. She is my family forever.
Pardha Ponugoti
Groomsman
He gave me Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for my 7th birthday even though I disliked reading at the time. He's earned his seat at the table.
Kelda Beachy
Bridesmaid
Kelda and I met in graduate school for a master's degree and during that time we leaned on each other and kept each other motivated as we were pursuing our professional careers. She is my absolute personality soulmate. We think the same and have the exact same sense of humour, a rarity. Although she hails from kentucky and has the most adorable accent and I am from chicago with filipino roots we are still the same person and I will cherish her friendship forever.
Rohan Warriar
Groomsman
At first I was intimidated to meet Rohan simply from hearing what his name was, turns out, he's much nicer than his name implies.
Leslie Rabaut
Bridesmaid
I met Leslie during our interview day for medical school. I had no idea that I was sitting across the table from one of my future lifelong friends that day. She is the funniest human being I have ever met. She inspires me everyday with her talent, creativity, supportive and nurturing nature, and lust for life. Her smile is infectious and being around her just makes you happy. I won the lottery the day I met her.
Rob Jiang
Groomsman
College roommates for three years straight and somehow he never kicked me out. Thanks.
Ashley Feneran
Bridesmaid
I was so excited to finally meet Ashley, who is now Ian Favila's Fiancee. For the past 6 years she has literally been my sister. She is such an integral part of my family and I couldn't be more grateful. We have made the best memories and am so happy she shares my obsession with food. She gives me the best life and career advice and I truly look up to her. She is a role model and I am so blessed to have her in my life.
Robbie Campbell
Groomsman
Medical school is nearly impossible without friends as reliable as this guy. He also loves the Indianapolis Colts almost as much as I do so that's a positive.
Michelle Favila
Bridesmaid
Michelle is the cutest person ever and I am so lucky she is a Favila. I knew we were meant to be when we both realized we both have a weird obsession with everything mini sized. Before I met her, Michael called her the "glue" of the family and I completely understand why. She's incredibly supportive, cherishes our family moments and shows her love all the time with thoughtful gestures like cooking for us when she is visiting Chicago. She is also hilarious, and that is a major plus. Forever grateful she's my soon to be real life sis.
Zach Belford
Groomsman
One of many facilitators in helping MG and I grow closer together, he happens to be one of the best Halloween dressers out there.
Kristine Favila
Bridesmaid
Although she lives far away, we have made amazing memories together and Kristine is the absolute coolest. She is incredibly adventurous and she inspires me to just go for it. She seizes every moment, lives life to the fullest and is fearless. I look up to her more than she knows. I cannot wait to go on another adventure with my future sister.
Nico Favila
Groomsman
Well traveled and well dressed, he does it for the gram. #FTG
Bea Gallego
Bridesmaid
Bea is my first cousin and representing all my beautiful cousins that I am so blessed to have. She first met Michael in the Philippines after we had been dating less than a year. She welcomed him in with open arms and made him feel so comfortable, and he was ready to meet the rest of our large and rambunctious family. She is the most nurturing, sweet and reliable person. Not to mention she is an incredible baker. Together with the rest of my cousins I am so incredibly blessed to have such a beautiful family and to grow old with them and become Tito's and Tita's to each other's future kids.
Sean Favila
Groomsman
He's usually the first to say Happy Birthday to me every year. Sure, that may be due to him living in Manila 12 hours ahead in time but I appreciate it anyways.
