Andrea & Josh
Wedding Party
Jaclyn Manlapaz
Maid of Honor
Best friends of 20 years, Jaclyn and Andrea share more of a sisterhood than a friendship. They grew up dancing and singing to broadway musical songs at full volume, standing on furniture as if it was their stage. Jaclyn and Andrea can understand one another by simply looking at each other and no words being spoken. Don't be surprised if you see some weird facial expressions being exchanged, it is part of their language. No matter the miles between California and Texas, they are forever stuck like glue.

Kelsea and Andrea have been family friends since they were little and remain best friends to this day!
