Our Wedding Party

Maid of Honor: Iris Asuncion

Iris is Ysolt’s older sister. She’s the best sister a girl could ever have. She let Ysolt wear all of her clothes when they were younger, let Ysolt hang out with all of her older, cooler friends, and never got mad at Ysolt even when she was being a total brat.

Bridesmaid: Gladys Gatchalian

Gladys is Ysolt’s favorite cousin. (Sorry, other cousins.) She has been Ysolt’s “wing woman” on several eating frenzies.

Bridesmaid: Vivienne Mendoza

Vivienne is one of Ysolt’s BFFs. From junior high to high school, and then to college, Ysolt followed Vivienne like a shadow. Ysolt looks up to Vivienne because she’s just so cool.

Bridesmaid: Hannah Halili

Hannah is Ysolt’s other BFF. They’re both fellow Aquarians, and at times, share the same brain. When they laugh together (which happens often), they slap each other. And, they call each other “cupkeyk” (inside joke).

Bridesmaid: Lauren Fanuzzi

Lauren and Ysolt have cried together, have laughed together and have always had each other’s backs. They both share a love of dancing and shopping, so it was inevitable they’d become fast friends.

Best Man: Doug McHoul

Doug is Jesse’s longtime Catholic school friend. They’ve been in many bands together and enjoy watching Pearl Jam concerts.

Groomsman: Peter Schmidt

Peter is Jesse’s youngest brother, who he’s very fond of. He recently graduated from the Naval Academy. And FYI, ladies, he’s single and ready to mingle.

Groomsman: Travis Schmidt

Travis is Jesse’s younger brother. He recently moved to Hawaii with his family and Jesse misses them very much. Every day, Jesse schemes how he can get them to move back to the East Coast.

Groomsman: Brian Stickle

Brian once stole a girl from Jesse when they were in high school, but Jesse got him back when he stole Brian’s Hyundai. It was all in good fun.

Groomsman: Troy Atkinson

Troy was notorious for throwing parties when his parents were out of town. (Sorry to blow up your spot.) During one of these shenanigans, Jesse opened up a special bottle of wine and drank it. Troy’s parents still bust Jesse’s chops about it.

Flower Girl: Aubrey Mendoza

Aubrey is Ysolt BFF Vivienne’s little girl. She was just born a month ago, so fingers crossed that she’ll be able to walk at the wedding.

Flower Girl: Raiann Osband

Raiann is bridesmaid Hannah’s daughter and Ysolt’s goddaughter. She’s sassy, spunky and always marches to the beat of her own drum. She can also recite all of the lines in “The Wizard of Oz.”

Ring Bearer: Stone Schmidt

Stone is Jesse’s nephew. He likes to sing, dance and eat Spam musubis (in case you don’t know, that’s sushi made out of spam and rice).

Coin Bearer: Tyler Asuncion

Tyler is Ysolt’s godson and nephew. He is as “techy” as Jesse is, loves playing video games and watching America’s Best Dance Crew, and is really good at math.
