'til death do us part
Wedding Party
Gloria Banda
Maid of Honor
Growing up only 13 months apart, Gloria and Veronica had their share of sibling shenanigans, from dressing up Barbies to deciding who got more precious minutes on AIM chat. They're like yin and yang – opposite but somehow eerily similar, proving that sisterhood is a blend of chaos and cosmic connection. Now, Gloria is rocking the mom life as the proud mother of Taytum, all while nurturing dreams of turning her into the next water polo sensation. When she's not cheering on Taytum's aquatic endeavors, you'll find Gloria binging on Taylor Swift tunes, Friends episodes, and soaking up the magic of Disneyland – she practically has a season pass to happiness. Known as the comedian among the three sisters, Gloria brings the laughter to every family gathering. With a wit sharper than a chef's knife, she's the secret ingredient that turns any dull moment into a hilarious memory.
Marcella Calvillo
Matron of Honor
Marcella is Veronica's big sister and the official cool sister in the family – when they were younger, Marcella was always trying to boost Veronica's style behind mom's unsuspecting back. The unsung hero who transformed Veronica into a Tia, she is the mom to Gage, Mason, and Mateo – her (not so little) men-in-crime. Marcella, the social butterfly with a dash of rebel spirit, can be spotted rocking out to her own tunes, probably belting out lyrics with unmatched enthusiasm. Her drink of choice? Tajin-rimmed, because why settle for ordinary rims when you can spice things up? She's the epitome of cool, with a side of sass. When she's not time-traveling through 80's music or orchestrating the next family football fiesta, Marcella is proving that being a Radiers and UCLA football fanatic is more than just a hobby – it's a lifestyle.
Alicia Kennedy
Bridesmaid
Meet Alicia, Veronica's partner in crime and bestie extraordinaire for over a decade! Their epic friendship saga began at a house party in Seal Beach, where Alicia, defying gravity on a pull-up bar, downed a tequila shot and casually introduced herself with a, "Hi! I'm Alicia!" Veronica, clearly impressed by this upside-down tequila wizard, knew they were destined for friendship. A magical Disneyland date sealed the deal, making them instant BFFs. From that day forward, they've tackled life's rollercoaster together, proving that true friendship can survive even the wildest theme park adventures. Alicia has practically earned the title of the "4th Sister" with her honorary status in the family. When she's not exploring the wonders of Disneyland (her second home), she's moonlighting as the cool aunt to her nieces and nephews. Catch her striking a yoga pose, singing at the top of her lungs to Jenny Lewis, or acing the mom game – Alicia is the embodiment of awesome and a vital ingredient in Veronica's recipe for an unforgettable friendship.
Jaime Lutz
Bridesmaid
Jaime is one of Veronica's ride-or-die friends for the past decade. Despite growing up in the same neighborhood and attending the same high school, fate had them cross paths much later in life. The stars aligned, and their friendship blossomed during epic nights in "the cave" – a place where music videos were the soundtrack, dance-offs were legendary, and stories flowed until the sun began rise. Jaime and Veronica have embarked on numerous escapades, from Parker adventures to Beyoncé concerts and countless unforgettable girls' nights. Now, Jaime's not just the proud momma to Preston but has also recently earned the esteemed title of Grandma to the adorable Rayray – the latest addition to her growing entourage. When she's not busy creating clean alternatives for everything (who knew you could make cleaning so fascinating?), you'll find Jaime wielding makeup brushes like a pro, always with the most perfect eyebrows. A devoted Britney Spears enthusiast, Jaime is also a time-traveling relic holder from the '90s. Ask her about her collection of Cabbage Patch Kids, original Barbies, and the legendary Girl Talk game – it's a nostalgic journey you won't want to miss.
Taytum Banda
Junior Bridesmaid
Veronica, aka Taytum's "Nini" (short for Nina - Godmother in Spanish), has been there since day one (when we drove her home from the hospital listening to T.I's song "You can Have Whatever You Want"), soaking in all the milestone moments, epic snuggle sessions, and the endless giggles. Living under the same roof when Taytum burst into the world gave Veronica a front-row seat to the spectacle of adorable chaos. Taytum, our resident Taylor Swift aficionado (seriously, ask her about the Eras Tour – it's practically a religion), is a water polo athlete. When she's not conquering the pool, she's perfecting her repertoire of TikTok dance moves, drooling over Tom Holland, and effortlessly staying ahead of every trend – a true trendsetter in the making. Veronica and Taytum share a bond that's not just godmotherly but a delightful blend of funny, sentimental, and utterly magical!
Mike Flannery
Best Man
Mike has been a very important friend and role model in Tony's life since they first met in 2007. In 2007 Tony (250 lbs, long hair, anti social weirdo) just got his first job at Toys R US and met Mike. Mike, noticing that Tony needed some help took him "under his wing" to help him "break out of his shell" and become a real human person. Throughout the years Mike and Tony have pushed weight at the gym to get swole, went to the beach almost every day in the summer of '010 and '11, lost enough money at the casino to stay for free (on more than one occasion), saw Jay-Z + Kanye in concert, went to UMass Amherst together, deep fried Oreos, and have countless memories shooting the shit and laughing about the dumbest of things like being hungover on Easter Sunday, Sqwincher, and putting his iPhone back in his pocket.
Lewis Steen
Groomsman
Lewis and Tony have been friends since wayyy back in 2008 when they first met at Toys R Us (TRU). Lewis worked at Babies R Us but would often pick up shifts at TRU and that's where they first met. Lewis has been a great friend to Tony throughout the years. They've vacationed together in Miami for Spring Break back in 2010, have countless memories (or lack of) at bars slash restaurants in the summer of 2010 living life as young 20 somethings in Worcester. More recently Lewis just came out to California in the Summer of 2022 to hang out with Tony, explore California, and drink rainbows in Huntington Beach (that didn't end well, you'll have to ask him).
Sinch Park
Groomsman
Sinch and Tony met at Movember back in 2017 when Sinch first stumbled into Tony's life by applying for a job. Throughout the years Sinch has provided Tony with a countless amount of laughs, life advice, wisdom about his career, and plenty of good food and soju. Sinch is somewhat of a life guru to everyone and is into astrology, music, among other things. Ask him about the book he wrote and the YouTube channels he's featured on.
Alex Terrazas
Groomsman
Alex is Veronica's cousin but immediately after meeting each other both Tony and Alex hit it off and became great friends. Tony and Alex have spent lots of time together enjoying tacos and tequila in Mexico, going to the movies, watching football, and vacationing together. The phrase "In my defense, I was left unsupervised" sums up Alex when he's having fun and hanging out with Tony and friends.
Nick Kennedy
Groomsman
Nick and Tony have been friends since 2018 when they were first introduced through their significant others (Veronica & Alicia). Nick has been a great friend to Tony throughout the years, vacationing together in Mexico (don't ask!) and "The River" in Arizona. Nick has also given lots of sage investment and financial advice to Tony (avoid dogecoin). Nick is Southern California born through-and-through - he loves to surf, golf, and used to be in a reggae band.
Kevin Lutz
Officiant
Kevin is a friend to both Veronica and Tony. When Veronica first introduced Tony to the crew, Kevin opened his arms and instantly included him as part of the friend group. Kevin played the role of the Colorado River guide, introducing Veronica and Tony to the vibrant world of the Parker strip. They shared many enjoyable nights on the river, at Fox's, and in the tiny mobile home, where friendships evolved into a chosen family. A devoted enthusiast of punk rock music, Kevin not only appreciates the genre but also showcases his musical prowess by playing the bass. To add a touch of rebellion to his repertoire, he navigates through life on his trusty Harley Davidson.
