Iris & Raymond
Wedding Party
Tricia Najorda
Matron of Honor
My favorite sister. My only sister. We literally grew up fighting over everything, but will still have each others back. The person I know will be there for me no matter what. Her little shadow growing up, and now will be my shadow on my wedding day! PS: You owe me lifetime babysitting services for my future child!
Renaldo Suarez
Best Man
My best man, my best friend, my brother Rayj. My brother set the example for me of selflessness and humility. I remember being jealous of him when he would get the better toys, or if he would get more attention then I did. As I got older, i realized he's never once felt that way toward me. He's always offered the better toy, room, bed, car, food, etc to me. He always put me first. He's someone I look up to, and strive to be more like . He is the actual 'best man' I know.
Lauren Rice
Bridesmaid
The only person I can rely on to laugh hysterically at my jokes. The youngest of the group, but the one I consider my big sister. The person I would run to if I ever needed life and financial advice. Never a dull moment with this one becaaaaause WE DIDN'T EAT!!
Eric Jemera
Groomsman
Met this guy in Germany (Ramstein AFB, wha whaa) when we were 8 or 9 years old. I remember him always waiting in front of my house, eating an entire loaf of bread, to walk to school together. We shared so many memories in such a short time there and he became one of my closest friends; he even cried when he had to move to CA. We later crossed paths again in CA, and it's like we didn't skip a beat. It was the same ol good times.
Maryann Bautista
Bridesmaid
One of my college best friends! So many memories with this one. From our constant failed oovoo video chats to picking up drunks for Sac State's safe rides. Definitely one that I can go to whenever I need a laugh or deep conversations. Can't wait to create more memories with you!
Rio Ruiz
Groomsman
My boy riooooo. This man is one of the most loyal dudes. Loyal to his mom, gf, and his friends through thick and thin. He has always been, and will continue to be there for me (Right back at you brother). He is very wise, motivational, and encouraging. We've shared countless memories, talks, and laughs together. Hard work is definitely his foundation. Ble--ssed to have him as a friend.
Jackie Cortez
Bridesmaid
My roomie. My birthday sister. My tagalog speaking friend! She has seen my struggles in college and never stopped supporting me. We can talk, laugh, cry about anything and everything all night! I knew she'd be my forever friend when she kept me company, and slept on my floor when I was scared to sleep by myself after a friend's death. Will always cherish our memories together!
Nick McCracken
Groomsman
My first friend, and one of my best friends!! We met when we were 4 years old and used to hide in our cubbies from them girls with cooties. Even our mom's are best friends! I could always count on Nick. I remember him always having my back with everything: from arguments with my brother to always picking each other first when playing basketball/manhunt (hide and seek). Nick is a true friend.
Shannin Galbis
Bridesmaid
My sister's twin, but came out 7 years later. One of the most down to earth person I know. Always down to hang out and have fun! The little sister I never had and never wanted (haha) but very thankful I have. Would trade her for my actual sister in a heartbeat. jk! I can't wait to watch her continue to grow up into the beautiful woman I know she will be. D'awwww!
Jolly Mateo

It's always a JOLLY good time when you're around! Ps: I'll venmo charge you soon for all the haircuts.
Alyson Reiff
Bridesmaid
I will always see her as my 5 year old cousin. Spent a lot of my college years hanging out with her and her sister Alex. From walking to Rite-Aid to get ice cream, to doing their hair for school. I can't believe that she's actually old enough to be my bridesmaid!
Lorenzo Bravo
Groomsman
Enzoi boi! My cuzzy! that looks scurry, but is super fuzzy! We didn't grow up together, but every time I would visit, we would always get along as if we did. We used to have "rap battles" all day long, make lip sync music videos, play with our wrestling toys, and ball out together. Love you cuz.
