Wedding Party

Jonathan Rasay

Groom

Half of my life has been spent loving the one woman I know, is the only one for me. I can't wait to spend many more years together.

Jason Ibarra

Best Man

We met at Fitness 19 about 9 years ago. We were trying to get big, but we just ended up being the opposite.. fat.. So we decided to do something about it and join the military. We thought it was going to fix our weight problems but.. we're still pretty chubby with extra added muscles. I've always looked up to Jon.. even though we're the same height. People always called him my best friend.. but he's more than that.. he's my brother and always will be.

Christian Rasay

Groomsman

My name is Christian and I'm one of Jon's cousins. Jon is the big brother I've always wanted to have. Growing up we used to be so annoyed of each other but now a days I look forward to every chance I get to spend with him

Paul Estioko

Groomsman

I got stuck with Jonathan because he is sort of marrying my sister. Despite being a supportive little brother of his girlfriend (covered up for them too many times to count), I also introduced him to his future best man. My obese teenage self introduced those two despite my sister telling me not to. You're both welcome.

Jayson Estioko

Groomsman

I met Jon for the first time as Rose's boyfriend about 13 years ago. We've bumped heads the first time we met but, he turned out to be a great person and part of my family. He's always been there when I need help and he knows I'll be there when he calls. Welcome to the family brother!

Leandrey Baraceros

Groomsman

We met Freshman year in High school. People used to confuse us with one another. I don't know how, since I'm a lot better looking.

Darren Gacayan

Groomsman

Jon is one of my brothers for life. We had each others back at the great mall when we squared up with some fools!

Frank Gatbonton

Groomsman

Not sure when I met Jon but a good memory of Jon would have to be the time he decided to steal Julian's neighbor's broken bike. It was in front of their house. He couldn't ride it because the chain was broken so he decided to jog with it to another friend's house. Making so much noise due to the chain banging when he jogged lol. Jon will always be that FOB friend that was born and raised out here lol. Love you bro.

Brendan Nelson

Groomsman

"I met Jon during high school. We would always hangout with the same group of friends. We got a lot closer senior year when we took the same class, which was creative writing. During that time, I got to learn more about Jon. That's when I found out he lived down the street from me. After school we would hangout more often and he always offered to drive me home in his integra because he knew I didn't have a car yet. Since then we've been close friends, and is one of the few people that I would consider a brother to me."

Christopher Balagso

Groomsman

Jon and I were neighbors in 2009. He always looked angry and had this mean mugging look that made me try to avoid him, so I'd wait in my car sometimes if we arrived at the same time again& pretend like I was looking through stuff in my glove compartment. He would later become best friends with my cousin and we'd eventually get close for him to get wasted, sleep over and throw up on my bed haha.. Good times.. I still have some of his throw up saved on the side of my desktop computer to this day LOL. Even though we met in a later time of our lives, and regardless of the short amount of years spent together, our friendship is no less of that a day 1. Even throughout the years that we all spent apart as life led each of us through different paths, our bond as brothers has never weakened.

Allan Balagso

Groomsman

I met Jon through my cousin Jason, Jon's other lover. Jon also lives next door and both of them used to climb the fence just to knock on my window hella giggling like girls trying to scare me. Jon to me is my little buff brother since then and always will be my little buff brother until I get buffer than him.

Julius Lucas

Groomsman

I met Jon around my junior year of highschool through Jason and his cousins Chrisb and Allan. They told me that they had this neighbor that was buff and always had a mug on his face or a mean look lol. Little did we know, that it was Jon! Jason remembered him from fitness19 because he would always set his eyes on Jon doing squats jk. From that day on he has become one of my closest friends and consider him family. I love you Jon

Rose Estioko

Bride

Who knew one simple jacket can turn into a lifetime full of happiness and love! To growing old with you and many more years to come!

May Estioko

Maid of Honor

As an older sister, I had to know my little sister's whereabouts at all times. I've known Jonathan ever since he was a dark skinny little boy with spikey hair that kept walking my sister home during their middle school days. I didn't really have to spy on my sister for two reasons: 1) My sister cant lie and 2) Jonathan cant lie either. I would welcome him to the family, but its been years since I've accepted him as another brother in my family.

Gigi Estioko Malapitan

Matron of Honor

Oh how do I start. For who doesn’t know me I’m the Eldest (Ate) of the six siblings and Tweety is the 5th and the youngest sister. Why we call her tweety instead of Rose. Coz she was a C section baby and that time the cost of a C section is tweety thousand (20k). That’s one trivia for all of you. She is the sweetest sister and a princess to our family that’s what she said. I met Jonathan 2008 when I first came to visit them he is so cute and shy and a big heart congratulations to both of you. Welcome to our family. Love you heaps from the land down under God Bless!

Katrina Tenorio

Bridesmaid

Where do I begin...Tweety is the little sis I never had or never wanted?? Haha. I met Tweety when I became friends w/her sister, May, in '02. She was shy at first and I bet it's hard to believe because WE ALL KNOW that she's NOT! There were so many times my phone would go "missing" and I'd "surprisingly" find Tweety's face as my background photo! Yep, as sneaky as a little sis could be. 'Til this day, she LOVES taking them selfies! The Estioko house was my 2nd home in high school and I swear...every time I came over Tweety's a$$ would be asleep! So of course I'd make it known I was home by cuddling with her, taking her blankets & pillows, and being just as annoying as she was; ) Long story short, Tweety has been my little sis ever since & I wouldn't want it any other way.

Gabbie Estioko

Bridesmaid

Well l didn’t really have a choice to be related to Ate Tweety or not but she's the big sister I never had. She was the one who taught me how to be bad and the one who always encouraged me to break the rules. I blame her for why I always got in trouble. But deep down, I guess I love her because I'm her favorite ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Megan Turgano

Bridesmaid

My name is Megan Corpuz Turgano and Ive been roses best friend / girlfriend (inside joke) for about a decade now. Ive been through so many ups and downs with this princess and we still saw it through each time. She’s shown me that no matter what happens in our lives, we will always remain the best of friends. She’s also told me that no one else can come close to her and that she will basically be a princess forever in my life.  I was always the one she blamed for whenever she got in trouble by her parents which would result in us not seeing each other for some time, all the time. We always talked about getting married and being pregnant together, but clearly that didnt happen on my end. hahah. Congratulations for marrying the love of your life. I love you! cheers!

Janelle Mingming

Bridesmaid

Trying my best to make this short &sweet just like Rose but I think it's impossible. I've known Rose since the 6th grade. She was always the girl w/ the long hair! We didn't like each other at first&I think it's because we were too much alike,short but mighty. Eventually we became friends&I knew she was a real one cause she always had my back. Like the time girls would look at us and we would be like “oouu oh heck no!” Looking back at how bad we were I think we turned out pretty good lol! The relationship that Jon& Rose have is a rarity. There were times when I would look at them&knew with confidence that they had the type of love that would last. Rose, you are gonna be one amazingly gorgeous bride &Jonathan, you are one lucky man! I love you guys both &cannot wait for your big day!

Cheryl Rogers

Bridesmaid

I'm Cheryl, Jon's oldest sister and I've always accepted Rose as part of the family! One of my favorite memories of Rose and I was when I let her drive my car because she was practicing on getting her license. I trusted her enough to the point where I let her text and drive (ya I know I shouldn't have) and she didn't break hard enough that she love tapped the car stopped in front of us at a stop light.. The guy came out of his car and was upset but let us go because there was no scratches on his car.. I let her drive again when the light turned green but instantly told her to pull over and I drove the rest of the way to my auntie Emarie's house 😂. I love my brother and I'm glad he found someone I possibly love more than him sometimes lol.

Catharine Rasay

Bridesmaid

I’m Catharine, one of Jon’s older sisters. I honestly don’t remember when I met Rose since it’s been soo long. But one memory I have of her was when we were in high school. She would constantly call me to vent about how annoying he was being. We would literally stay on the phone for hours just talking about their relationship and life. For years, Rose has always been my go to when I needed someone and I’ll always be there when she needs anything. I’m so happy to have her as my sister. Love you sis <3

Leahnna Valencia

Bridesmaid

From starting with a new halau, to meeting this girl people called "Tweety," from long practices, car rides, day and night outs, I'm honored to be apart of her special day. In our years of friendship, I feel like we have gone through so much and have learned so much about each other. I want to thank Rose AND Amber for always being there, and am thankful for the friendship we have. We always pick up where we left off. Congrats to Rose and Jonathan on their new chapter, I wish them the best and will continue to be there no matter what.

Amber Shuck

Bridesmaid

Well where do I even begin?! I met Rose close to 10 years ago. Rose, Leahnna & I instantly became so close. We know exactly what the other is thinking without saying a word..we have a bond that is not easily explained but obvious to all those who see us together. That’s what i love most about our friendship is that it has always been so effortless. Out of that friendship, we became the Mean Girls. I’m not even sure how that name came about but I’m pretty sure it’s because we all have a RBF (I swear we are actually the nicest people!) lol. I still remember when Rose was venting about how she didn’t know how she would plan this wedding without Jonathan &I responded “you always have us.” That quote sums up our entire friendship because we will always have each other. Love you Tweety!

Kathleen Jacinto

Bridesmaid

Who would’ve thought that the new other Filipino girl from work would be one of my best friends? While it may be only a handful of years that I’ve known you, I feel like we’ve been friends since forever.. from learning that her innocent facade was really just an act to cover her true deceiving, but down-to-earth self to learning each other’s personalities so well that we would start thinking and saying the same things even when we’re both miles and miles away. Even though we may only catch each other like once a year (since you’re always out and about) you’ll always be my twin pinche for life. Love you and can’t wait for your guys’ special day! (I’ll remember to bring Jon’s chicken too! Haha)

Sharel Deguia

Bridesmaid

What can I say about rose… She’s that girl with the innocent smile hiding her strong personality. We met at work and over the past few years became really close friends. After getting to know her, it’s no surprise why we are friends. We can read each other and understand what the other is thinking. She has been there for some of my biggest life events, although never on time, and I’m excited to be sharing some of hers. Love you and cant wait for your big day!

Cindy Lopez

Bridesmaid

I remember the day I met Rose at work, i was surprised on how easy it was to be myself around her. She understood my sarcastic ways and to find someone who has more sass than me.. well that's when I realized she's going to be a very special person in my life. As years went by, we have made amazing and unforgettable memories that we can still laugh at to this day. I cant wait to be part of another unforgettable and special day with you Rose. Love you!
