Wedding Party
Sabrina Gomez
Maid of Honor
Their best friendship started with a single cup. Sabrina and Kimi happened to stand next to each other during a game of rage cage at MK’s Tahoe Trip 2016. Kimi lost and Sabrina offered to share the mystery liquid with her. The rest is herstory.
Jarod Olanda
Best Man
Jarod is Vince’s second brother, as well as the guy Vince knows he can count on for any favor. Whether it be grabbing food for Vince after his shift (shoutout to the Chipotle days), or picking Vince up from the airport, Jarod always has him covered.
Katrina Asuncion
Maid of Honor
Katrina and Kimi met at Friendship Games 2015, where Kimi lent Trina a dress to wear to the club. They pregamed (hard) and took care of each other that night. An immediate best friendship.
Rowen Olanda
Best Man
RJ is Vince’s youngest brother, the bunso of the family. Whenever Vince gets hungry in the middle of the night, wants to go out for food, or wants company in general, RJ’s practically already in the passenger seat.
Christine Bautista
Bridesmaid
Christine and Kimi met at Friendship Games 2015, and hit it off immediately. They lived together as housemates for three years and have shared the best memories of college together. The long-standing joke is that they were "partnahs", being the only single ones in their house. Ironically, they are now the next two to get married!
Michael Abala
Groomsman
Kimi and Michael have known each other since they were 4 year old, spending kindergarten and university together. Incidentally, Vince met Michael at a Fil-Am Pre-Health meeting at UC Davis. Sharing the same career goals in health, as well as a very peculiar sense of humor, it was only a matter of time before they became both friends and housemates.
Marilyn Belber
Bridesmaid
Spencer (groomsman) was on his very first date with his now-wife, Mari, and FaceTime’d Vince and Kimi to play a game of League of Legends. Kimi knew that Mari had to be “the one” if she was accepting of this on their first date. The girls hit it off immediately!
Spencer Jacinto
Groomsman
Vince met Spencer during his first year of middle school, making him one of Vince's oldest friends. They shared a lot in common, such as being military kids, their interest in video games, or being the eldest child within their families.
Alexa Fontanilla
Bridesmaid
Alexa and Kimi met at a concert in 2017. She was introduced as Spencer’s little, instantly having a place in their little group. Alexa and Kimi bonded over similar upbringings and education (only child, catholic school), an automatic click!
James Garcia
Groomsman
Vince met James during his first year of college. He was Vince’s dorm mate by random assignment, and together they joined the same Pre-Health organization in the Fil-Am community. They became roommates for the rest of their time at UC Davis.
Annie Yu
Bridesmaid
Annie and Kimi shared a love for community leadership in UC Davis and Annie was Kimi’s mentor of sorts, having many of the same positions. It wasn’t until Annie moved into Kimi’s apartment for a summer quarter, after a hilarious event that ended with puppy accidents (Eiko was a crazy girl!) and flies in boba, that their friendship fully blossomed.
Joel Ramirez III
Groomsman
Vince and Joel got to be close as members of Kimi's Tinikling team in 2017. As Kimi's friend, she confided her crush on Vince. As merely acquaintances, Joel asked Vince what he thought of Kimi, which helped Vince realize his feelings for her. In the end, Joel helped by being Kimi's wingman.
Alyra Aguirre
Bridesmaid
Kimi’s closest cousin in age, the two girls basically grew up together, even if they live 7,000 miles away from each other. Alyra is one of Kimi's closest confidant, and it's obvious when you see them together. They share a love for reading, television shows, and traveling.
Elijah Ramirez
Groomsman
Vince met Eli during his second year of college. Acquaintances at first, Vince got to know him as fellow coordinators for their organization, Mga Kapatid. Through their time as Co-Trips Coordinators, they became friends and housemates. Though Eli has moved to the Philippines, the two talk every day on Discord.
Aldric Alvis
Bridesman
Being cousins with someone seven years younger than you can make it difficult to foster a close relationship. Luckily that isn’t the case for Kimi and Aldric. She fondly thinks of Aldric as the little brother she never had.
Bill Pansacola
Groomsman
Vince met Bill at a Fil-Am event at Davis when Bill was a freshman. Later on, Bill became Vince's little in the pre-health organization and Kimi's little in MK. Bill has played an integral and crucial role in forming Vince and Kimi’s relationship.
