Alberto RamirezAlberto Ramirez
Best Man
Known since 2013 — which means we've survived over a decade of bad decisions, worse jokes, and group chats that should never see daylight. He might not be the brightest, but what he lacks in brilliance he makes up for with heart, and a gift for turning even the simplest plan into a learning experience. Loyal, caring, and just chaotic enough to keep everyone on their toes.
Nate MedellinNate Medellin
Groomsman
Known since 2014 — which means we've had plenty of time to question most of his life choices. Somehow, the last guy who should have a kid ended up with two, and we’re all still trying to figure out how that happened. He’s always down for anything — good, bad, or wildly ill‑advised — and manages to be even dimmer than the guy above him (which is really saying something). But through it all, he’s loyal, hilarious, and impossible not to love.
John ElkinsJohn Elkins
Groomsman
Known since 2017 — met at our first “real” job, a miracle considering neither of us got fired. Since then, John’s rocked more hairstyles than most people have excuses for, including the infamous man bun and the mullet era no one asked for. He’s loyal, hilarious, and proof that good friendship can survive questionable fashion choices.
Ariel SanchezAriel Sanchez
Groomsman
Also known since 2017 — also met at our first “real” job with the guy above, though calling what they did there “work” is generous. He can outdrink a village and still somehow find his way home, no GPS required. The kind of guy who’ll answer your 3 a.m. drunk call without hesitation (and probably join you), but nonetheless is loyal to the core and will always makes sure everyone’s taken care of — right up until the bitter, hilarious end.
Andrew LunaAndrew Luna
Groomsman
Known since 2022 — though, to be fair, not entirely by his choice. He parties harder than any 18‑year‑old with a fake ID, can inhale a full plate of food in under a minute, and could probably sleep through a hurricane. He’s a walking hangover with a heart of gold, and the party doesn’t officially start until he shows up.
Eric 'Smitty' SmithEric 'Smitty' Smith
Groomsman
Known since 2024, self-proclaimed chef, part-time Boeing employee, and full-time mystery. He’s basically half Vietnamese now thanks to his love affair with pho and fish sauce. Legend has it he may or may not be responsible for a few recent “mechanical malfunctions,” but we don’t ask questions. If you run into him tonight, ask about his rare medical condition called the dog jaw — just be prepared for a story you’ll never forget.
Winston TranWinston Tran
Ring Bearer
The Sixth Man of the Year Know since 2024 — Unfortunately for him, is not just the ring boy, he’s also my godson (definitely not his choice). He’s got more hair than me, probably a better credit score, and at this rate, he’ll graduate before I do. Basically, he’s already winning at life, and he's not even two yet.
Jeanine NguyenJeanine Nguyen
Maid of Honor
She isn’t just my best friend today she’s also my brand-new sister, and I couldn’t feel luckier. She’s incredibly smart (clearly it runs in the family), somehow manages to plan events like a professional, has recently discovered her talent in the kitchen as a new chef, and if there’s a good sale somewhere, trust me she already knows about it.
Erika HuizarErika Huizar
Bridesmaid
One of the best friendships started in the most unexpected place work. From the moment we met, we instantly became best friends. She’s the kind of person who’s always ready for an adventure, whether that means hiking up a mountain, grabbing drinks, or just saying yes to whatever fun the day brings. Her energy, spontaneity, and “always down for a good time” spirit make every moment more exciting.
Lauren KoornLauren Koorn
Bridesmaid
She has been by my side since middle school, which means she has truly seen it all. We’ve grown up together through so many phases of life, changes, and memories, and it’s been so special to have someone who has known me for that long. From countless boba dates, shopping trips, and our favorite gossip sessions, she’s been one of my constants through the years. Now she’s a wonderful mom of two, and she’s doing such an amazing job.
Tiffany NguyenTiffany Nguyen
Bridesmaid
She is the definition of outgoing, funny, and the life of the party. No matter where she goes, she brings energy, laughter, and a good time with her. She always knows how to make everyone smile and turn any moment into a fun memory. But beyond all the laughs and good times, she’s also the kind of friend who shows up when you need her most.
Sandy SantosSandy Santos
Bridesmaid
She came into my life through my fiancé’s best friend, but it didn’t take long for her to become someone so special to me too. She’s outgoing, smart, and effortlessly funny, and she’s always down for a good time no matter what the plan is. What I admire most about her is how caring and welcoming she is she truly has one of the biggest hearts and makes everyone around her feel included and loved.
Jocelyn JoJocelyn Jo
Bridesmaid
I met Jocelyn in graduate school, where we truly went through the struggle together. Late nights, stressful moments, and everything in between would not have been the same without her, and honestly I don’t think I could have gotten through it without her by my side. Somewhere along the way, we turned all that stress into a really special friendship. The funniest part is that we later discovered we actually went to the same high school and didn’t even realize it until our second year. I’m so grateful that grad school brought us together, and I’m so happy our paths finally crossed the way they did.
