Wedding Party
Sonia Saltzman
Maid of Honor
I’m Sonia (aka Ruby’s favorite sibling)! I’ve grown up with Ruby through all of her eras, and I’m so excited to witness this next one! I'm incredibly grateful to be a part of Ruby and Gerson's special day! I can’t wait to celebrate their love with all of you <3
Konrad McKeague
Best Man
I first connected with Gerson when we were at UCSB, I went over to his house to watch a movie and kept going to his place for barbecues, movie nights, and volleyball. I lived with him in Orange County after UCSB and have had the blessing of spending many great times with him (and sharing a love for coffee). Gerson has always been such a great friend, host, and housemate and I am excited to be part of this special day!
Leila Etemad
Bridesmaid
Hello and welcome! I’ve been friends with Ruby since 6th grade and we’ve shared many fun memories together over the years. It has been a pleasure getting to know Gerson throughout their relationship and on our camping trips. I admire how Ruby and Gerson are always there for one another, and are so dedicated and caring to each other. I am so happy that Ruby has found Gerson, and I can’t wait to be there on their special day to support them as they tie the knot!

Madison Watkins
Bridesmaid
Hi there! My name is Madison! I met both Ruby and Gerson during my time in college through Cru Santa Barbara. I am so blessed to call both of them my dear friends, although Ruby is my bestie for the restie! Fun fact: I was the one who walked Ruby down to Gerson’s proposal!!! I am so honored to be part of their bridal party and am so excited to watch what they take on together as a married couple.
Andrew Saltzman
Groomsman
Hi I’m Andrew! I met Ruby 19 years ago on the day I was born through our siblinghood and have ever since been to her a wild child younger brother
Arianna McDonald
Bridesmaid
I’m Arianna, and I had the privilege of being Ruby’s roommate while we went to college together at UCSB. I owe some of the best memories of college and post-grad life to her! During the first months of lockdown Ruby told me she was talking to this boy from CRU, and I remember hearing how nervous she was before their first date. I was a bit skeptical because in the past Ruby had dated boys who didn’t quite measure up to the standard I felt she deserved. But, pretty soon after meeting Gerson I came around and saw how perfect they were for each other. I am so glad that I get to be able to play a part in their union and celebrate their everlasting love!
Brian Saltzman
Groomsman
Hey my name is Brian and I am Ruby's youngest sibling by 10 minutes. I already have 3 brothers but I'm excited to have a favorite brother in law!
Leslie Cruz
Bridesmaid
Hi my name is Leslie! I’m Gerson’s favorite sister and the better sibling! I meet Gerson when he was 4 years old and up until he left for college we fought every day of our lives. By the grace of God we started to be “real” siblings, and even though I barely see him, he has become the person I ask for help and the person I’m able to be goofy with! I’m grateful and thankful to have an older brother like him. Love you to the moon and back teto!
Caleb Cruz
Groomsman
Hello my name is Caleb Cruz Constanza I am Gerson’s younger brother also the better looking one with rizz but not that band kid rizz. I met him one day when I was brought home from the hospital and I saw this asian looking kid and thought who is this. He is my favorite older brother he is the best I still remember when he would help me with my homework when I was little and having the patience to help me with it. He is the best role model for me and he is what I strive to be. I met Ruby when I went to Santa Barbara to Gersons stinky apartment and Gerson introduced her to us I have known her for 4 years now and I think she is great. I am happy for him and hope the best for him.
Marcela Oh
Bridesmaid
I met Ruby during junior year of college upon my husband introducing me to his friends. Ruby and Gerson were quick to welcome me in, though I was nervous at first. They soon became my good friends and Ruby’s excitement to befriend me caught me by surprise. Since then she has been an honest friend and a great storyteller. I’ve always enjoyed listening to her and being around her. P.S: If you see me in October, please challenge me to a dance battle.
Ethan Oh
Groomsman
I'm Ethan, and I first met Ruby and Gerson via zoom CRU meetings in the fall of 2020. That following summer, I got to know them as I was invited over to Gerson's house and was so lovingly brought into their friend group. We have been on many beautiful adventures since then, and I look forward to many more with these two!
Caitlin Hale
Bridesmaid
My name is Caitlin Hale and while my husband Greg and I were dating, he introduced Ruby to me as one of his best friends from college. Nervous to be meeting Greg’s friends for the very first time, my fears were washed away within mere seconds of being embraced by Ruby! She has become a fast and wonderful friend and I was privileged to have her as our photographer at my own wedding. I am so excited to get to be a part of her special day like she was for me!
Greg Hale
Groomsman
Hi, I'm Greg! I met Gerson in our sophomore year of college and we bonded through sharing memes at a Friendsgiving party. After Covid happened, we became roommates and I got to spend time with Ruby as well, which is how I became Cota's favorite uncle.
Abby Lindsay
Bridesmaid
Hey I’m Abby :) Ruby & I first met soon after I moved to Santa Barbara. We worked together at dune coffee and instantly became best friends! Ruby is easy to love and laugh with, I love her sassiness & attitude (mostly shown to rude customers - she always had your back!) I’m honored to have hers and be her bridesmaid! The first day we hung out she told me that she was definitely going to marry Gerson & I feel so lucky to be by her side as they do! I’m so excited for their big day!
Jacob Puentes
Groomsman
Hello! My name is Jacob P. I met Gerson in 5th grade but didn’t get the full Gerson best-friend experience until 7th grade. We’ve made each other laugh harder than anyone. Although we were happy together, I couldn’t be more happy to hand him over to Ruby, a wonderful person and amazing future wife.
