Rich & Minerva
Wedding Party
Amalyn Ruiz
Maid of Honor
Amalyn is the bride's best friend also known as her "Kabuki" or "Bestie". Although the universe would have definitely brought them together sooner or later, they met through Rich & his brother Steven in July 2009 and have been best friends ever since. A lot has changed in their friendship in the past decade. They no longer go clubbing every weekend or spend all their money on Michael Kors handbags & MAC makeup but the essence of their friendship has remained the same: loyalty, honesty, endless laughs, and the best chocolate chip cookies! Cheers to us and our endless memories together! <3
Damian Bastar & Steven Bastar
Best Men
Damian is the groom's older brother and Steven is his younger brother. Both of them are the groom's BEST MEN but they are also his "good cop" and "bad cop" when needed. They have a close brotherhood which Rich truly cherishes. As they grow older, Rich continues to be grateful that they were brought up so close because it's led to them having a lot of good times, laughs and choreographs. See what we did there? They have had their ups and downs like any relationship but that BASTARbro bond is for life.
Eva Monroe Taveras
Flower Girl & Ring Bearer
Eva is the bride's goddaughter and she is sassy, smart, and so loved by everyone who meets her. Eva's mom, Ayda, has been like an older sister to Minerva and they have known each other for over 20 years! Being Eva's "Nina" is one of the bride's most beloved roles and both the bride and groom are excited to have her be a part of their special day.
