Juliana & Aaron
Wedding Party
Ashley Kong
Maid of Honor
Ashley is one of Juliana's best friends & her oldest friend. Their relationship has always been special. They were best friends since 5th grade, but didn't attend the same school again until college. Even at Rutgers University, they had their own different friend groups. However, they both have been a constant in each other's lives. With Ashley and Juliana, they don't need constant communication in order to feel close or connected. They are always able to pick up right where they left off as if no time had passed.
Guillermo Rodriguez
Best Man
Guillermo has been one of Aaron’s longest and truest friends. They’ve known each other since 6th grade. They started in the same homeroom together and were even in orchestra together. Together they schemed their way out of music class by requesting to practice violin in the backroom, only to spend the whole period playing Yu-Gi-Oh. They did not hang out as often in high school but still kept in touch and in college they would try to hang out whenever Aaron was back in town. Their birthdays are five days apart so they try to have an annual birthday celebration where they’d share a meal together and catch up. Aaron has been greatly impacted by Guillermo’s friendship and it was a no brainer of a choice for him to be Aaron’s Best Man.
Amanda Ocampo
Bridesmaid
Amanda has the nickname of "big thief" according to Juliana's parents. Juliana would have to agree as Amanda stole her heart from the very first time that they met. Amanda may be small in stature, but she has the biggest heart and is always there for the good and bad times. From picking up one of her kids to traveling to Texas together, Juliana can't imagine Amanda not being one of her bridesmaids.
Jeremy Poserio
Groomsman
Many say that the hottest fires forge the strongest steel. That can be said about the friendship that Aaron and Jeremy share. The first time they met was in the basement of the fraternity house when it was first revealed who their potential pledge brothers would be. Aaron had seen or met most of the other people in the line just through parties or other events but when he looked at the person at the front of the line he thought, “Who’s that Latino guy?” Little did Aaron realize that firstly, Jeremy was Filipino but also that Jeremy would grow to be his closest pledge brother and one of his closest friends and confidantes. Aaron had Jeremy by his side when he crossed, so it was natural for Aaron to choose Jeremy to be by his side when he got married as well.
Contessa Lai
Bridesmaid
Contessa is the person Juliana calls or texts to ask about everything and anything from home buying to gym tips. From being ninjas during Halloweekend to being roommates in the last two years of their college career, Contessa and Juliana are partners in crime. If Kenny and Aaron were not in the picture, this love story might be a little bit different (just kidding).
Wen Tai Chang
Groomsman
Aaron’s relationship with Wen Tai has changed over the years. They started as acquaintances back in high school. They had mutual friends throughout freshman and sophomore year but it wasn’t until they were put in the same English class in junior year when their friendship truly blossomed. They were put into the same group with Jimmy for a project about The Scarlet Letter. What came from that was an A- grade but an A+ friendship. Eventually post-undergrad, Aaron and his brother moved into an apartment unit that Wen Tai and his family owned. Their relationship started from acquaintances to group mates to friends to landlord and tenant and throughout most of those years, they’ve also been best friends. Finally, another title can be added to their friendship, Groomsman and Groom.
Han Nguyen
Bridesmaid
Han is the perfect little sister that Juliana always wanted but never had. She is a constant ray of sunshine and always puts others before herself. Although they are not sisters by blood, Juliana feels they are sisters by heart. She exemplified how to be a good, caring little sister. From being her big sis in Kappas, Juliana learned so much.
Felix Caraballo
Groomsman
Felix was the last of the groomsmen to meet Aaron but despite knowing Felix shorter than every other groomsmen, Aaron still considers Felix a close friend. Their friendship blossomed quickly over a very short period of time. Through their mutual group of friends, Aaron and Felix hung out constantly throughout their freshmen and sophomore years. They were even suitemates for sophomore year. However, in junior year, the original group of friends branched off and they did not hang out as often. But luckily they lived together as apartment mates in Aaron’s senior year. Since undergrad, Aaron and Felix have grown closer over the years and make sure to always make time for some drinks and food whenever life allows. Aaron is extremely honored to call Felix a friend and one of his groomsmen.
Joan Oh
Bridesmaid
Joan and Juliana are often known as jojo and juju or the ultimate duos or butt buddies. Point is that they’re inseparable. Not even med school or a pandemic can split apart. Through seeing each other in the best and worst times, they remain loyal and supportive of each other. Juliana can’t imagine not having Joan by her side when she says “I do.”
Jimmy Rodriguez
Groomsman
Their friendship started during the first week of high school. Having been introduced by some mutual friends at Bronx Science, Aaron and Jimmy quickly bonded over their irreverent sense of humor and similar interests. As time passed their friendship grew stronger but in junior and senior year, everyone started to branch out into other friendships. Luckily, in college Aaron and Jimmy were able to reconnect through other friends from Bronx Science. Since then they’ve made it a regular occurrence to get together for a bit and some drinks with some other pals.
