Meet Jordane, the Maid of Honor who’s not only the bride’s little sister but also her lifelong partner in crime and occasional “friendly” competitor. Growing up, they’ve shared everything — from secrets to outfits (and, of course, a few debates over who was at fault for recording over dad’s favorite tapes with the karaoke machine). Though Jordane is used to being the “younger” sister, don’t be fooled — she’s always had a knack for taking the lead and keeping her big sister on her toes. (She is a lawyer after all!) As the Maid of Honor, she’s beyond thrilled to stand by Rachelle on the big day, and on this beautiful journey and help create memories that will last a lifetime. Coming all the way out from Boston, Jordane is all in — ready to make sure this wedding is awesome! She may be the little sister, but today, is ready to bring her signature mix of humor, heart, to make this day as unforgettable as their childhood memories.

The OGJP, Anderson, is the best man. He's originally from Chennai, India, but has since taken his talents to the OC and lives in Irvine, CA. He and his wife, Felina, and their two doggos, Fitty and Leo, love taking in the SoCal sun and going out on walks on the beach. When he's not engineering things at works, he's crushing people on the pickle ball courts.

Heather is more than just a bridesmaid— she’s been a best friend, confidant, and constant source of love and support throughout the years.

Over the years, Heather has proven time and time again that true friendship means showing up, and she’s done just that in so many ways. As a bridesmaid, she’s not just part of the bridal party — she’s a cherished friend who will be standing by Rachelle’ every step of the way, ready to celebrate this beautiful new chapter. Her thoughtfulness, loyalty, and love for those closest to her make her the perfect person to be part of such a special day.

Rene and JP have been great friends for over 10 years, going back to the good old days of GCC (Glendale Community College). While Rene shoots buckets on the basketball court, he shoots rockets into space for work. Originally born in Iran to Armenian parents, he's well-traveled and has lived all over Europe. He now resides in Tujunga, CA with his wife Tamara. Fun fact: His picture is from his wedding in which JP was a groomsmen. In the words of the great Michael Scott, "Well well well how the turntables..."

Eva isn’t just the youngest cousin from France—she’s a bundle of pure sunshine, kindness, and joy. She’s been studying internationally in Ireland for the last semester and working on her English. She is always planning her next adventure and is looking forward to visiting the US with the entire family. Her warm heart and infectious smile make every moment brighter, and having her as a bridesmaid is like having a little bit of magic woven into this special day. Whether she’s practicing her English or simply being her wonderful, radiant self, Eva is truly a gift to everyone around her. This wedding wouldn’t be the same without her, and there’s no doubt she’ll bring all the love, fun, and sparkle to the celebration.

Davit is one of JP's oldest friends, dating back to the Circa 2012. A software engineer by trade, Davit is more of a Jack of all trades. He can have a thoughtful conversation about virtually any topic you can think of. Speaking of trading, one of JP's biggest misses was when Davit introduced him to Bitcoin back when it reached $1000. If only JP listened :'(. Davit currently resides in Glendale, CA but is an avid traveler both domestically and internationally.
