We are extremely blessed to have THE BEST WEDDING ENTOURAGE... if we do say so ourselves :)
Karla has been my best friend since we were in 7th grade! We like to talk on the phone - sometimes when we run out of things to say - we just listen to eachother breathe. And, our greatest combined skill is discount shopping. Our favorite place to meet up usually is Nordstrom Rack or TJ Maxx :)
As Sheryl would say... Random, random of most randoms... Sheryl… oh my Sheryl. The Sister God forgot to give me! We have the best love story ever! We met at church, fell in love and now the rest is history! She is my favorite teacher, favorite person to get a Korean Massage with, and favorite person to talk about life with (not our lives of course... haha)
My random text buddy where our conversations vary from argyle socks to swimming techniques. Mikey has endured countless hours listening to me ramble about random things. Mikey is always cool, calm, and collected. My fellow gym rat and style tracker who is always supportive and has to be my #1 cheerleader. When together, it’s always guaranteed that someone will ask if we are related. Must be the eyes. LOL
Shelton is a true testament that FAMILY always comes first. My go-to-guy whenever I am in need of advice or a good laugh. From the witty jokes, to honest commentaries, to magic tricks; this guy has got it all. His “you can do it” attitude has inspired me to overcome adversities throughout the years. As Shelton always says, ”Oh Big Al”.
Aileen could seriously be the nicest person in the world. She has the craftiest set of hands, making personalized EVERYTHING and makes great competition at just about any board game. Though she specializes in Mad Gab and Scrabble (and the revised version of ‘Speed Scrabble’).
My cousin from the other side of the US! Finding deals must seriously run in the family - this girl can shop! When we’re out shopping, by the time we get a chance to look at our watches - we’ll have walked at least 40 New York blocks and have had our workout in form of lifting shopping bags. All this makes her my favorite New York shopping partner. And, she's a great Mommy to my Godson Jayden Marc and Jasper Jay!
ANGELA, mi novia. I can’t think of anyone that I call, IM, or text with the more than I do with Angela. Until Angela, I never talked on the phone as much as I do today. Angela and I have frequent honeymoons, talk about anything, everyone, and everything. And did I mention - she is Young and Fabulous :)
Camille… ya, you know - my Dr. Friend. LOL. Camille is one of my bestest friends from College, introducing lots of things into my life: Top Ramen (just add one egg), and my love for my electric blanket among other things! She never fails to make me laugh with her random insights and observations on life. Take this girl to a basketball or football game and you're guaranteed the funniest sideline commentary!
Donna is my ULTIMATE partner in crime. Everything from Laker games, random South Coast excursions, exotic vacations, and foodie trips! We’re one another’s #1 cheerleader, but even more so when making big purchases. When we’re together, we talk like we haven’t seen eachother in forever - even though it’s only been 30 minutes since our last contact. Her stories have caused me many missed exits, and illegal U-turns.
Janelle - my original travel partner. We’ve traveled the globe - mango shakin’ in the Philippines, crepe’in in Paris, cured ham’in in Italy and fish and chip’in in London. Most of my favorite pictures are because of her amazing eye! Now, she's my favorite diet partner - she motivates me with her ability to say no to carbs!
The youngest of the crew. Our lil cousin Alec is now a grown man. He is currently a freshman at Cerritos High School acquiring skills on how to take over the world. All the ladies better watch out because this boy will sweep you off your feet with his charm and dashing good looks.
Andrew and I have known each other since birth. Another cousin of mine who I’d consider as one of my brothers. He has always been my voice of reason and has been my advisor for years. Drew is known for his Jordans, big smile, and the nice cars - always complimented with the cleanest 20″ rims ever imagined.
If you don’t consider someone who accidentally cuts himself with a knife slicing a pear for you a friend, then I don’t know what a friend is. My last standing golf buddy who I can count on to call me and ask “Joe’s Sushi?”. Also, the only person I know who actually has had the patience to smoke his own turkey for Thanksgiving.
Brent and I have been close friends for a very long time. From watching dance routine videos till 2am, driving around listening to "Pop" music in Hollywood, partying seven days a week, shopping at South Coast, to being roommates causing havoc; Brent and I have experienced a lot of things together throughout the years. He is now officially a law abiding citizen as a police officer for the LAPD.
Everybody loves Bong! My favorite Bong story has to be when he gave his leather gloves to a homeless man in freezing weather while we were visiting DC. Oh and also the full bottle flip cup tournament he set up at Jo's birthday. Enough said.
One thing you should know about our family is we know how to party. Ken is the leader of the pack. Our future Republican candidate for office. He offers the best non-sugar coated advice. I can always count on Ken to tell me how it is. He is our number one contact south of Los Angeles as he is the King of Orange County.
