Where to begin … ? Although Brian admits he dropped the ball on keeping in touch and responding to Juan’s many hilarious voicemails over the years, Juan begging for the bromance that he always wanted, the two of them have been inseparable, always supportive, and there for each other through all-night recording sessions and important life moments. As the old man that Juan is, he’s brought wisdom into Brian’s life and many great moments of laughter. The two go together like jam & jelly (that should be the next song we write Juan!). In all seriousness, this man has been an inspiration in Brian’s life and he couldn’t be more proud to have him as his best man! Juan and his wife Haley are expecting a baby boy in the near future and we can’t wait to meet him and celebrate with them!
Troy Schreiber - Groomsman
Troy is the crazy cat dad of the bunch! He has two adorable cats (Allie & Olive), but wants more … and more … and more … it’s ok Troy, we support you! (: Brian and Troy have been good friends since high school. Sharing a love for mouth-watering multi-cultural food (Peruvian, Indian, Sushi, you name it), they enjoy chatting about all of the delicious food growing in their garden’s, like two old men. They also share a love for healthy living, exploring the great outdoors, music, etc. Blasting Trans-Siberian Orchestra is a memorable past time of theirs, while Troy enjoys wooing Brian with his magical, classical piano playing skills. We are thrilled to have you on team groomsmen Troy!
Errol Jones - Groomsman
The story of Errol & Brian began over jerk chicken on a tiny charcoal grill, late at night, in 32 degree weather … yes, that really happened. Errol is that charismatic guy that can literally convince a couch pillow to be his friend. I’ve never met a person this guy has not been able to get along with … it’s almost a little weird … are you up to something Errol? All kidding aside Errol is someone that has helped and inspired Brian in many areas of his life. From mock job interviews, to finance and real estate advice, to long conversations about people, places, and the highs and lows of our world, he’s a well-respected, prime addition to the wedding party!
Cody Jenkins - Honorary Groomsman
Cody and his wife Jomy are expecting a baby girl later this year. We are SO excited for them, can’t wait to meet her, and fully forgive them for not being able to attend the wedding! Despite this, we absolutely could not leave this extraordinary man out of the “official” wedding party! Cody & Brian have grown together since middle school, jamming with their guitars, and believing they were little rock stars! From late night philosophical talks about life, to gossip about dating and relationships, they have become like brothers over the years. Their relationship is the type that could go silent for years, they meet, and pick-up right where they left off. Like no time had passed. This is the type of relationship worth cherishing and is one that Brian is determined to hold onto! Thanks for being such a great man and inspiration in my life Cody! We will no doubt be thinking of you both on our wedding day!
Ricardo Lertora - Honorary Groomsman
Rico is unable to attend for family reasons, however, we absolutely could not leave him out as he’s been an integral part of both of our lives! Funny enough, the story of Rico and Brian dates back to Bianca and Rico, as good friends in kindergarten. Brian and Rico later became friends in high school, realizing they both loved to crack jokes about anyone and anything, and had shared interests as musicians and professional monopoly card game players … Rico has a brain the size of Texas … an absolute genius who once gave Steven Hawking a run for his money. Jokes aside, this man has the soul of Cupid. He cares deeply about others; loves a good, soulful jam; and we will certainly be thinking of you Rico on our wedding day!
Bridesmaids
Erika Joa - Maid of Honor
Erika and Bianca first met that fateful day Bianca was introduced to her new little sister (who also happened to be her new roommate and sidekick). Erika was the first person Bianca thought of when asked who the maid of honor was going to be, not just because they are close sisters, but also because she is quite literally the coolest and kindest person in the world. Between sending each other reels on the daily and reminiscing about the “good old days”, Erika is a kick-ass engineer, world traveler and amazing artist. She will be the first person on the dance floor, first to break the ice with a joke, and will continue being the best sister Bianca could ever wish for.
Julia Kwan - Bridesmaid
Julia and Bianca first met in a small house in Queens, NY. Bianca was a plump baby who refused to go to sleep, while Julia was the quirky cousin who put up with her. Julia has always been Bianca’s role model ever since she could walk, as she was the all-knowing older cousin. Bianca loved learning dance moves and even completing fake homework as long as Julia was there. Julia loves to travel, eat good food, and take pictures of her brother’s dog and cat, Luna and Mango. Bianca knew Julia had to be a part of the wedding because she will always serve as a reminder of what a difference family can make.
Sree Kumar - Bridesmaid
Sree and Bianca quickly became the best of friends all due to a chance encounter in a college classroom. Between hanging out at each other’s places until 2 am, talking on FaceTime for literally hours on end, and keeping in touch over the years while living in different states, Sree has always been the kind of friend who Bianca cherishes every day. Every time they catch up, it seems that time has not passed since that day in undergrad. Sree is a phenomenal PA as well as a beautiful, kind soul. Bianca was certain that Sree would be an essential part of the wedding party and is so excited to add this wedding to one of their many memories together.
Katelyn Jobs - Honorary Bridesmaid
Katelyn and Bianca have been work besties, especially when it came to creating a close knit team in the pharmacy. Whenever Katelyn was on the schedule, Bianca knew it was going to be a day full of jokes and intriguing gossip. Katelyn has always been the life of a party, the person with no filter, and a wonderful friend. Even though she cannot make it to the wedding as she is busy becoming an incredible nurse, Bianca and Brian know she will be one of the first to cheer them on and share their excitement.
