Our Wedding

Kier and Caroline met during nursing school at a Filipino club event on campus. Needless to say, Caroline was in the corner as a freshmen-- not quite sure if she was enjoying her drink and the vibes. Little did she know, Kier took note of her and asked around on who she was. For the next few months, Kier was plotting to ask Caroline on a date and she finally said "yes" after a few tries. 9 years later and the rest was history :)

Q + A

The Bride Tribe

Michelle is Caroline's older sister, her Ate (ah-teh). She is Caroline's built-in travel buddy and go-to person to annoy 24/7 at work and at home. Without her, there would not be a Caroline!

Michelle Katrina Bandigan

Meet one of Caroline's oldest friends of 13 years! They were freshmen in high school when Caroline decided to tap Leslie on the shoulder in the middle of history class to introduce herself. I guess you can say... the rest was history :)

Leslie Balderas Reyes

Ericka is Caroline's best friend from college. They met each other on move-in day (even though Ericka was internally beefing with her since she saw Caroline's parents move her in  LOL), they both were on the same resident assistant building crew. Ever since, they've been two peas in pod!

Ericka Miranda

Another one of Caroline's oldest friends, 13 years in the making! Nyla is next one to complete the trio with Caroline & Leslie; all meeting each other in high school and still being the closest of friends to this day!

Nyla Phillips

Maddy is Caroline's work wife :) They both work on the transplant unit together at Mount Sinai and love putting out the dumpster fires that happen on the nightshift. 

Madeline Ramos

Jackie is another one of Caroline's work besties. They used to work together at Mount Sinai together with Maddy until Jackie went to work with cute babies in NICU. It's okay though, you'll find Caroline and Jackie at Marshalls shopping together.

Jacquelyn Kan

The Groomsmen

Laurence is Kier's younger brother. He used to be a thorn in Kier’s side, but blossomed into someone reliable that Kier can text at 2am to pick him up at the bar.

Laurence Maghuyop

Eric Jon is Kier's childhood best friend and adopted little brother if Laurence didn’t exist. They both grew up together with Eric learning all the bad habits from Kier himself :) but don't worry, Eric’s all good now—he’s a future PA!

Eric Jon Sero

Tyler is the dad of the group— making the best situation out of nothing. You can find him at your nearest pond fishing or your local campground making fire with sticks.

Tyler Walsh

Sal is the most punctual, put together and lavish living guy Kier knows. Unlike Tyler, you will NOT see Sal fishing at the pond but rather, living like a king in a 5-star hotel while someone is feeding him grapes.

Sal Cappiello

Luke is another one of Kier’s childhood best friends. He may seem quiet at first, but is secretly adventurous. He's always willing to be down for anything and everything at a moment’s notice.

Luke Stazzone

Keith is the definition of nonchalant. He takes 3 months to reply so Kier told him 10 years in advance that he's going to be a groomsman at the wedding!
