Wedding Party

Jason Allard

Best Man

Jason is the groom's older brother. When he wasn't bullying him to toughen him up, he was guiding, supporting, and setting an example of success for him. He’s also not as strong as Niko anymore so the bullying has (mostly) stopped. Jason is an attorney at Shook, Hardy, & Bacon in Atlanta, Georgia. He is joined by his wife Erica and their two children, Cameron and Carter.

Chelsea Walsh

Maid of Honor

Chelsea Walsh has been the bride’s closest and loyal friend since the 9th grade. She was born in China but raised in New Mexico. Chelsea has so many beautiful qualities a few being super caring and empathetic. She is a true makeup artiste and tattoo aficionado. Whenever they reunite it’s like time never stopped.

Stephen Nguy

Groomsman

Francisco Loayza

Man of Honor

Francisco mostly known as Paquito is the bride’s older brother. He is living in Madrid, Spain and is the ultimate plant dad (he has over 100 plants). Diana and Paco can spend hours on the phone and when they are reunited they love to go to the movies and watch horror films.. which they quickly regret right after. Paco is about to graduate from his PhD in Molecular Biosciences. He is joined by his partner Oscar San Bernardino Muñoz.

Anahita Foroutanaliabad

Bridesmaid

Anahita and the bride met first year of college at UC Santa Cruz and their friendship was solidified after enduring four years of exams and hangovers. She is the female version of Eeyore, but when she’s out in the town she sure is fun! Ana is an Attorney overseeing her father’s pistachio business. If you’re looking for her she’s likely at her farmhouse oasis with her 24 pets!

Emily Karzon

Bridesmaid

Emily and the bride met initially in 11th grade though Diana didn't win Emily over until senior year when they became very close friends. She is a gymnastics instructor and has an eye for photography; she took Diana and Niko’s engagement photos. She is the embodiment of life of the party. She is joined by her partner Stephen Nguy (who is also the life of the party).

Michael Mantilla

Groomsman

Michael is the not so little brother of the bride. Mikey and Niko bonded over their mutual enjoyment of fútbol and basketball, though Mikey's yet to beat Niko at any games. Mikey quickly became like a little brother to Niko. Diana and Niko love when he comes to visit and often joke about when Niko got paintballed in the dome.

Madison Beam

Bridesmaid

Madison and the bride met during the pandemic at the dog park. Funny enough their pups Mia and Juli are best friends though we like to joke that they’re lovers. Madison is the Hostess with the Mostess, when she’s not serving up her delicious dips; she is DIY’n fun projects! She is joined by her husband, Kurt.

Karthika Saravanavijayan

Bridesmaid

Karthika and the Bride met the first year of college and were even roommates third year. Diana cherishes the late nights they spent together at S&E library studying for exams, Monday Meadows, and surviving what felt like sorority horror house. Kar has the bubbliest personality and the kindest soul but when the drinks are flowing, beware..Kartiki might come out to play.

Kurt Koeppl

Groomsman

Kurt and the groom met at the local dog park where their two pups became best friends. Unfortunately he is a die hard Chelsea fan. Kurt and the groom bonded over their mutual love for fútbol and they have even joined a team together, though the results are far from good. Kurt is joined by his wife, Madison.

Madelaine Phillips

Bridesmaid

Madelaine and the bride met during the pandemic. Maddy, Madison, and Diana bonded over scary movies and have since started a weekly tradition. Maddy has a cozy sweet aura but you’ll quickly learn she has a cryptic sense of humor —if you’re looking for someone to hide a body she’s the one to call. She is joined by her partner Rey Rodriguez.
