Wedding Party
Our wedding party,
Thank you for standing with us on our special day!
Jason
Best Man
Cousins by title, brothers at heart. Jason is Brent's cousin and also his partner in crime!
From trying to hide "literature" that was more suited for adults, to trying to drive their fathers' cars home past their curfew without getting caught, they have countless stories of all the "adventures" they shared together growing up. At one point, they were even forbidden to see each other for a whole YEAR because of all the "adventures" they embarked upon! Boys will be boys!
Jason stands next to his cousin Brent, as the Best Man.
Adlein
Maid of Honor
Adlein is Ann's younger sister and mother of little Angelina. It's funny to think that Adlein and Ann did not meet each other until they were 5 and 9 years old!
An ocean apart, Adlein having been born in the US and raised by their mom and Ann having been born in the Philippines and raised by her grandparents, they were told about each other growing up. Although they may have been separated for some time in their lives, they always knew they had each other. The day Adlein and Ann met each other, they immediately shared that bond only sisters can have.
Adlein stands by her sister's side, as the maid of honor.
Minsoo
Groomsman
Minsoo is a good friend Brent's and completes the Brent, Jason, and Min trio.
Minsoo and Brent worked together at Emporio Armani and soon became great friends. Plenty of adventures ahead for these guys....

Crystal
Bridesmaid
Crystal is Brent's older sister and little Taylor's mom.
She is a talented photographer and has a great eye for capturing the perfect moments on film. She's so great at photography that she has been dubbed the event photographer at all family gatherings and for family photos! :)
She is also an incredible artist and one of these days, her sketches are sure to grace the walls of her own art gallery!

Greg
Groomsman
Greg, also fondly known as Mr. Peabody, has been one of Brent's best friends since their middle school days growing up in Sugarland. They definitely have their fair share of stories about their childhood days.... especially about playing basketball and who really was the winner of the "basketball tournament" between the two of them.
Now living in Austin, Greg is working on his SECOND Bachelor's Degree in engineering!
Greg is a true outdoorsman going elk hunting, camping and hosting backyard bonfires. He can definitely grill some amazing elk steaks!

Nicole
Bridesmaid
Nicole is Brent's younger sister and the mom to beautiful Heaven and handsome Caleb.
Growing up, Nicole was a star softball player and active in many other sports. She had many friends and was pretty popular with everyone (despite her very interesting taste in wardrobe during those high school years- so we've heard....).
Now, Nicole's wardrobe choices are definitely not questionable. She is artistic and full of style. You can see her artistic flare in her creative scrapbooks, now her favorite hobby. Through her handy work, Nicole can create a book of memories that will help you relive the moment exactly as it happened.

Heaven
Flower Girl
Heaven is Brent's niece and was at one point used by Brent to begin a conversation with Ann!
(Brent came in to Banana Republic on his day off with his niece Heaven, knowing Ann would be working. Who can resist talking to a guy who was spending the afternoon with his adorable niece??!!!)
Heaven is a beautiful, athletic, and talented young lady with a bright future ahead of her.
Heaven will walk down the aisle as the Bride and Groom's flower girl.
Taylor
Flower Girl
Taylor is Brent's niece.
She is a beautiful, intelligent, and absolutely hilarious little lady who is a "punk rocker" at heart! She has a smile that will absolutely light up your day!
With all her talent, there is no doubt Tay-Tay will be a future doctor, astronaut, or maybe even a lead singer in a rock band someday!
Taylor will walk down the aisle as the Bride and Groom's flower girl.
Gianina
Flower Girl
Gianina is Ann's "oh so adorable" cousin.
This little lady is one of the funniest girls you will ever speak with. A gorgeous, bright and highly spirited girl, Gianina will make your heart melt! She will have you in stitches laughing at her funny jokes and silly faces!
Currently, if you ask her what her dream job is, she will tell you that she wants to work at Jamba Juice because she loves their juices so much! :)
The best reader in her class, she will amaze you when she reads you her favorite books!
Gianina will walk down the aisle as the Bride and Groom's flower girl.
Angelina
Flower Girl
Angelina is Ann's beautiful little niece.
You would not believe that is is only 2 years old if you speak with Angelina. She is so vibrant and smart and will always put a smile on your face with the things she says. If you ask her what she sees in the mirror, she will tell you a "reflection"! And if you ask her what makes the trees green, she will answer eagerly, "photosynthesis"! This girl is brilliant!

Paolo
Ring Bearer
Paolo is Ann's handsome and smart little cousin.
Athletic and full of energy, Paolo is great at many sports including basketball and football. He even looks like a mini Kobe Bryant! :) And we heard that the girls in his class all have a crush on him! Looks like Tita Minie will have her hands full with this young man.
With good looks, charm, and his intelligence, there is no doubt we may see this young man gracing the pages of Sports Illustrated!
Paolo marches down the aisle as the Bride and Groom's Ring Bearer.
Caleb
Ring Bearer
Caleb is Brent's "so incredibly cute that he puts the GAP Kids models to shame" nephew. :) What an adjective to describe this kid! :)
Caleb is destined for greatness, whether it is to be a talented football player like his father, or to play baseball, a talent he no doubt will acquire from his softball star pitcher mother. Caleb is a lively and very funny little boy who loves Superman and Cars (the movie) and all the things little boys love!
He gets attention wherever he goes. You just can't stop wathing this kid because he's so cute!
Caleb will march down the aisle as the Bride and Groom's Ring Bearer.
Minie
Wedding Coordinator/Floral Design/Executive Producer :)
Minie is Ann's aunt... ahem... other younger sister.... Ann's partner in crime... ;)... and also the mother of Paolo and Gianina.
One of the up and coming Bay Area floral designers, Minie aka Minie of Wish Flowers, has taken the wedding industry of the Bay Area by storm!
Computer Programmer by day and ingenious floral designer by night, Minie's creations are, as she says on her website, a feast for the senses!
Can't wait to see what wonderful creations she will adorn Brent and Ann's wedding venue with!!
Minie is the Executive Producer of the event of the year, also known as, Brent and Ann's Wedding Day!
Sonia
Mother of the Groom
Sonia is Brent's mother and is in management for a major department store.
When she is not hard at work, she loves to spend quality time with her three grandchildren, Heaven, Taylor, and Caleb! They lovingly call her "MoMo" and she has fun spoiling them! Grandmothers always know best!
Roy
Father of the Groom
Roy is Brent's dad and works as an instrumentation technician for the oil/gas industry.
When Roy is not working the long, hard hours in the office, you will most likely find him grilling his world famouse fajitas or coaching the youngsters on how to play softball. He really should be named "Coach of the Year" as he has helped many young kids achieve their dream of being able to play and play well through his coaching!
Ellen
Mother of the Bride
Ellen is Ann's mom and works in the healthcare field.
When not at the hospital overseeing quality assurance, she is active with the Woodlands Church and loves spending time with her two grandkids, Angelina and Dorian. They love to go to Grandma's house as she spoils them with little outings!
Manuel and Letty
Grandparents of the Bride
Manuel and Letty are Ann's grandparents and are the ideal couple who said their vows and commitment to be married to each other more than 50 years ago. They are truly a GOLDEN couple.
Like Brent and Ann, Manuel and Letty also met at a retail store while Letty worked in the fragrance department. Their love was meant to be as they got married and raised a wonderful family with 6 children! Their first born is Ellen, Ann's mom and Ann is their first grandchild.
Raising Ann in the Philippines until she was nearly 10 years old, they are truly Ann's inspiration.
Manuel and Letty walk down the aisle with the Bride and will give her away on her wedding day.
