Wedding Party
Moe Estrada
Best Man
Hello Im Raymon Estrada I’m 12 years old I’m interested in coding, dancing, and gator wrestling. I’m the best man for my dad! I’m excited to see what a wedding looks like (because this is the first wedding that I’ll remember) but regardless I’m excited!
Genevieve Pates
Matron of Honor
Hello! I’m the Matron of Honor and Yvonne’s big sister, Genevieve. I’m a busy momma of 5 kiddos and doting wife to my husband, Bill, who definitely wouldn’t agree to the “doting” part. I love you, honey!!! There. Doting. But anyway, I’m a competition jiujiteira and spend my free time trying to choke and break the limbs of my best friends. Yeah. You read that right. I also love to run! And read! Those seem like much more bio-friendly hobbies to talk about. 😂 I’m super excited to see my little sister get married and live happily ever after with her hubby and my beautiful nephews. ❤️
Benjamin Baran
Bridesman
Hi, I'm Benjamin Baran, the older brother of the bride-to-be. I'm a little awkward, a little fun, and pretty energetic (all family traits). I'm proud that Evie is my sister, and honored to be in her wedding party.
Vincent Estrada
Groomsman
My name is Vincent Estrada. I’m Ray’s youngest brother on our dad’s side. I live in NC and I sell Lexus’s by the lake. I go by a few other names like Dad, UncleVin, *favorite brother* 😝 and “Skinny” Vinny (not Skinny anymore though! 😅) Something special about me, I donated my kidney to my beautiful wife! Happy for Ray and Evie and their three bundles of joy. PS I’m not really good at talking about myself, my wife could tell you more.
Besir Coban
Groomsman
Ray's brother
Merik Goma
Bridesman
Born in 1987, the second brother to Evie. Merik has saved Evie from choking many times, though he might also have been the cause, as he often made her laugh during their late night dinners with our siblings.
Ashley Vizzini
Bridesmaid
Hi! Yvonne here! I’m writing a temporary bio for Ashley… I would describe her in two words: ITALIAN LIONESS! She believes it’s a sin to open a jar of Prego and call it dinner, making meatballs involves squishing eggs between your fingers, and if the neighbors can’t make out every word of the conversation, then no one’s fricken talking! This Leo is fiercely confident, fiercely passionate, and above all, fiercely loyal! She and Steve are a match made from clay (natural and primal), and though I’m not entirely convinced her daughter isn’t her clone, Charlie is one of the most caring and loving little girls I have ever met. I’m lucky to have met all three of them, and even more lucky to call one of them my best friend of over 20 years and going strong <3 She truly is the Tweedle Dee to my Tweedle Dum 🤪😂❤️
Peggie Baran
Bridesmaid
Hello! Yvonne here again! My “twin”, so dubbed by my father when we were babies, has an inspiring love of life! She is quick witted, insightful, has a wicked sense of humor, and amazingly unique responses! She’ll have you in stitches, on your toes, and keep your wheels turning… a true puppet master of good conversation! Peggie is blessed with six amazing beautiful children of her own… though the judges ruling is still out on the toddler 😬🤞😂❤️❤️ There have been years when we weren’t as close as others, but we have always had each other’s backs, and honestly… If I ever got into it with a heels-on-hoops-down-fights-dirty kinda floozy, there is NO ONE I would rather have by my side! 👠 💣
Anthony Estrada
Groomsman
Rays cousin father of one. I’ve watched Ray grow as a father over the past 5-10 years and he took the path I always prayed he would. He grew his family and continues to make us all proud. I love you bro & I pray that one day I may be as good of a dad as you! Good job Evie!
Misao Wise
Bridesmaid
I'm Misao (or Missy, Moose, Sako, Mo...). Growing up the Barans' was my second home. Yvonne and I would spend our days adventuring, crying over Titanic, whittling table legs from candy cigarettes with our teeth, and just generally being unapologetically weird together. I'm a serial hobbyist with a penchant for meme curation and recreational freeform truthbending. These days I spend most of my time wrangling my toddler, languishing, and collecting dead things and putting them in pretty glass repositories.
Phil Rosati
Groomsman
Father of four. Loving husband of Jennifer. I'm a Pile Driving animal looking for adventure and whatever comes my way. I'm very happy for Yvonne and Ray Ray two of the most beautiful, deserving people I have ever met. May they live happily ever after!
