Wedding Party
Ian Sta. Ana
Best Man
Ian is Japes' best friend since high school. They were in the same class since first year in Ateneo and have gone through the highs and lows that friends experience over the years. Ian's abode is also the de-facto tambayan on Fridays where we get to play board games and Rock Band.
Karen Hipol
Maid of Honor
Karen and Tala were roommates for 2 years at GRH-Annex when they were both studying at Philippine Science High School. They were also classmates in 2nd year (Rosal '96 the best!). Their friendship has been through challenges, both petty and serious, but it has remained steady through out 18 years.
Guido Jacinto
Groomsman
Guido is Japes' close friend since high school. Guido has always been there for Japes when he needed advice or a sounding board. They also both share a love (or is it an addiction) to video games. Currently, they're both mastering Starcraft 2.
Nadja de Vera
Bridesmaid
Nadj is Tala's cousin from her father's side. She has grown up into a smart and sexy young lady with a passion for skimboarding, surfing, longboarding, and all things beach-related.
Ayi de Vera
Candle Sponsor
Ayi is Tala's younger brother. He used to torment her by cutting off her Barbie's hair. Too bad she can't retaliate now by cutting _his_ hair off. :D
Nica Dumlao
Candle Sponsor
Nica is Ayi's partner in crime life. She's the responsible mother of the precocious flower girl.
Niel Reichl
Veil Sponsor
Niel is Japes' cousin and pseudo-brother (both don't have siblings). Growing up, both would wrestle, play basketball/billiards, and have petty arguments over toys. There were no secrets between the two (which Japes put to full use in his best man speech during Niel's wedding).
Fiona Maloles
Veil Sponsor
Fiona is the lady who started this whole Japes-Tala thing. She introduced the two via a blind date. She was in Japes' start group at ACN, and then became Tala's officemate at IBM. She is also Tala's enabler and guru in all things fashion.
Miguel de Vera
Cord Sponsor
Migs is Tala's youngest brother. He does hilarious imitations of people's mannerisms and voice overs. Tala won't be surprised if he enters the world of showbusiness someday.
Katrina Gesmundo
Cord Sponsor
Katrina is Japes' cousin from his father's side of the family. Even though they don't see each other often, they would always meet-up during family gatherings to catch up.
Noah Teodoro
Ring Bearer
Noah, turning a wizened three early this August, enjoys basketball, swimming, and jumping off the last step down the stairs, but his real passions are cars, fountains, and parking lot barriers. He spends his spare time riding his pedal-less tricycle and taking care of his pet rabbits Tiktik and Taktak.
Sehanna de Vera
Flower Girl
Sehanna Sofia is Tala's precocious niece. Sehanna is a bit of a tomboy and originally wanted to wear a Batsuit to the wedding. She was finally convinced that she's a lady and agreed to wear a dress to the wedding.
