Thalia & Justin
Wedding Party
Janee
Maid of Honor
Janee and I met our sophomore year in High school and have been inseparable ever since. Our relationship is the type where we can not talk for days, months, years but as soon as we reconnect it is like no time has passed. I know she is the one person I can trust/count on aside from Justin lol. She is my best friend, my sister, and my partner in crime. Of course it was a no brainer for her to be my maid of honor on this very special day. I love her so much and I couldn't imagine this day without her.
Carlos
Best Man
Carlos was my freshman suite mate and then housemate/roommate for the final three years of college. Carlos is one of those people who will drop everything he is doing to help someone in need, and I love him so much for it. I know that Carlos will always be there for me, and I will always be there for him! Ultimately, Carlos is one of my best friends, and although I would never choose him as a beer pong partner, it was an easy choice to ask him to be one of my best men!
Alicia
Bridesmaid
Alicia is my little sister. She is the sweetest girly I know and I love her and her sweet heart soooo much. She is always there for me when I need her and even though we are 8 years apart, it definitely doesn't feel like we are. She makes me laugh with her witty humor, quick comebacks, and sassy mouth. She is just like me in that way lol. I am so proud of her for everything she has gone through and for the women she is becoming. I am so happy that she said yes to being my bridesmaid on this special day. (PS she hates photos so I'm lucky to have found one)
Ruben
Best Man
Now this guy is the one I would choose as a beer pong EVERYDAY! Ruben was my college roommate/housemate all 4 years of college. Even though he's a Dodgers fan, he is one of my best friends and a brother for life! He has been there through the ups and downs, and we've shared failures and success together. Many memorable nights involve Ruben and Carlos, mostly involving Ruben getting Carlos way too drunk, causing Ruben and I to make fun of him! This was another easy decision to make Ruben my other best man! Love you brother!
Caroline
Bridesmaid
Caroline is my first little sister. She is so beautiful inside and out and I love her so much. She makes me laugh with her little sassy attitude and random dancing. She is growing up into this beautiful women and she always makes me feel confident and special. We have always been there for each other from making up dances to our favorite movies when we were little to talking to each other when we have a bad day. This wedding would not be complete without her and I am so beyond happy that she said yes to being my bridesmaid.
Jeff
Groomsman
Jeff is my little brother, and while we are related, we are so different, which is one of the reasons we get along so well. I'm into sports and he's into video games and band. Growing up, Jeff and I would always play video games, and I knew that one day, he would be able to beat me, so I, being the big brother, beat up on him while I could. That day unfortunately came a few years ago where I could no longer beat him, and I had the realization that my little brother had grown up into a great young man! I love you Jeff and wouldn't have this day without you standing up there by me!
Andrea
Bridesmaid
Andrea is one of my besties from college. Going to a new a new city, a new school, and making new friends was tough but as soon as I got to my dorm I knew we would be instant friends. We couldn't be more different but the same as well if that makes sense lol. We definitely bonded over our love for In n Out and Chipotle. We constantly would convince one another that it was ok to splurge on our favorite meals lol. I couldn’t picture my day without her. She has the biggest heart and is the nicest person ever. I love her with all my heart and am so glad she is a part of this special day.
Eze
Groomsman
Eze and I met during my third year of college....both trudging though the classes of bioengineering. We bonded over studying for genetics, and it was an instant friendship. From then on, Eze and I took every class together, spent hours in the library together, and even more hours talking about how one day, he was going to make real life super heroes and I would be living in tropical island on a yacht, each planning how we would get there. That's what I love about Eze: no dream or idea is too crazy for him! He is super supportive and a great hype man, and this wedding wouldn't be the same without him!
Morgan
Bridesmaid
Morgan is my other bestie from college. We are complete opposites but that's what makes us work! She's loud, I'm reserved, She's outgoing, I'm quiet, She is super friendly, I'm super sassy lol. She makes me laugh like no other person. We definitely had so many funny moments in college and those memories will be with me forever. I love her quirkiness, her random acts, and her humor. This day wouldn’t be complete without her and I am so grateful to have her in my life and have her be a part of this special day.
Bryan
Groomsman
Bryan and I met at a summer camp before our freshman year at college. We both studied bioengineering and became really close during our third year, when all crap hit the fan! Everyone in bioengineering formed groups to get through all the homework...Bryan was definitely the coding guy! (Oh and finding the textbook illegally guy!) There were many of times where I had computer problems and I would just hand my computer over to Bryan... I thought I was tech-savvy. I respect and love this guy so much (especially his ability to fall asleep in EVERY uncomfortable desk during lecture), and couldn't spend this day without him there.
Robert
Ring Bearer
Robert is my little brother and is one of the most lovable and sweet people I know! He asked "what can I do in the wedding", and it was the easy choice to make him the Ring Bearer! Robert is always so helpful and loving and willing to do anything he can for not only me but anyone else he cares for. We are completely different but what sibling isn't? He loves hugs, kisses, and being lovable and he is so so so adorable. He can turn my frown upside down with one laugh, hug, or kiss but he can also annoy me like any little brother does. I couldn't imagine celebrating this special day without him!
Tong
Groomsman
TONG RAY HUANG! My little asian buddy from 7th grade!!!! Tong and I met in middle school during the IB program and have been friends since! He has been one of the few friends that I have consistently stayed connected with (I am terrible at that!) since high school. Besides being a great friend, Tong was also my barber for some time in high school! These were the days Tong and I gossiped and he told me about the crazy things he was into.... and I told him about the boring life I was leading ! It's a shame CoVID-19 is still with us, so Tong will not be joining us in person on the wedding day, but he will be there virtually! And whenever CoVID-19 is over, he will be there for the party!!!
Nova
Daughter
Our first daughter!!!! We got Nova in November, and she has been nothing but great for us! She is such a lovable puppy and can make friends with anyone. She gets so excited when we get home and she never fails to put a smile on our face! With CoVID-19 going on, Thalia and I both were starting to feel the sadness of not being able to spend our first year of living together really doing much of anything. We planned on waiting until we moved into a house and had a child before we got a dog, but one day I came home to the best 4 words I could imagine "Let's get a dog!". From that day, we have watched our little Nova grow up so fast and love us with all her heart, and we certainly love her with all of ours!
