Jennifer is my beloved twin sister, do or die sister, a you better name your child after me sister. Jennifer and I met in the womb and we have been inseparable since. I love Jennifer for her huge heart and for always being a trusted designated driver. Jennifer opens her heart and home for people . At the wedding, you can expect Jen's matron of honor speech to be brutally honest because that's what family is for.

Casey coming in at 5'10'' from Laguna Beach, CA is the first member of the dream team. Although 3 years younger than Brendan, they would often get mistaken for twins growing up. Casey was always the yin to my yang and as much as I tried to corrupt him he turned out an outstanding human being.

Reppin' the Bay, Katen brings his talent from San Jose down to SD. Katen and Brendan met in their first year of college at UCSD as roommates and have been getting into shenanigans ever since. Brendan can attribute his higher 'street IQ' thanks to the school of K10. Although the curriculum has changed since college the current course is improving Brendan's golf swing.

Cindy and I met when we were 14, outside of biology class. Why were we outside of class and not inside learning? Still a mystery to us. As phenomenal of a planner as Cindy is, she is remarkable in her music knowledge. Cindy will be the first to tell me whether the wedding music is a hit or a miss.

Amanda is my beloved younger sister, my little munchkin, and a mini-me, but more creative, smart, and young. I was ten when I met Amanda when she just came back from the hospital sleeping peacefully on a sofa cushion. I love Amanda because she is quirky, creative, and passionate. You can ask Amanda at the wedding to give you a quiz on whether you're still young and hip or if you're old and outdated.

DJ Jose reppin' Long Beach, is also a fellow UCSD alumni. Brendan and Jose met in Brendan's first year at UCSD. They too have many a journey near and far. Jose keeps Brendan up to date in the music game, and can often be found conversing about their dogs, football or aliens.

Tammy and I met in first grade when I didn't know a lick of English. Oh, where did the time go? I love Tammy because she is a tiger. No, not a tiger mom, but an actual tiger with a fierce and no bs attitude. Tammy brings the party, so you can expect her to have a grand time at the wedding. Feel free to join her.

Completing the dream team is Koji Sakai reppin' O-town. Although Koji is technically his older cousin, Brendan see's Koji-bear more as an older brotha. For the uninitiated he may look intimidating.. let's just say i'm glad he's family.

I met Jenny around the same time I met Cindy, in biology class. We were the JAC trio. I love Jenny because she is so sweet and thoughtful. Jenny will be making sure my sleepy head will be awake til the end of the wedding.

I met Tammy organically after hanging out with her in several group events. I love Tammy because she is loving, animated, and is a risk taker. You will find Tammy's positive energy on the dance floor.

We solidified our friendship during that pivotal school day-senior ditch day. Jeanne is a boss lady that makes sure everything is to its perfection.

Christina and I met during that pivotal senior ditch day at the beach. I love Christina for her social butterfly personality and making sure everyone is having a good time. You will find Christina having a grand ole time.
