Grace & Ryan

Sarah Jane Caluag - Matron of Honor

Bride's side, Cousin

The bestest cousin the world!  Sarj practically knows Grace inside-out because they grew up together.  If there is someone to write the official biography of the bride-to-be, she'd definitely be it.  She is a shoo in!  She can read her mind and feel her emotions even when miles apart, and thinks a lot like her in many ways.  Will always be the #1 sis for keeps.


Elizabeth Balde - Maid of Honor

Bride's side, Bestfriend in Dubai

Beth is a heaven-sent friend to Grace...indeed the sweetest thing!  The bride-to-be couldn't have survived Dubai without her.  A true and loyal friend - the one person in her life who has done many amazing things for her without expecting any in return.  A real treasure worth keeping.

Marian Lourdes Panopio - Bridesmaid

Bride's side, Sister
The bride's lovely sister who used to be her arch enemy when they were growing up.  A wonderful young Mom and a funky woman who braves life like a ship in a middle of a storm.  Grace could never imagine herself without a sister like her - she's absolutely amazing!

Ernani Andrea Mella - Bridesmaid

Bride's side, Gradeschool friend

Drea is the most “kikay” friend of all of Grace.  Her life will never be the same without this girl.  Among her friends, she is among those very few whom she has known the longest.  They've had many things in common like creativity, open-mindedness, love for shopping, and passion for dancing, among others.  And they also share the same dream of having the perfect wedding.

 

 


Atty. Sharon Ferranco - Bridesmaid

Bride's side, College friend

She is one of the bride's treasured friends whom she had met during college years in UPLB. Even though Busha had moved to UP Diliman after a couple of semesters, they managed to maintain the friendship by keeping in touch with each other from time to time. Whenever they would see each other, or talk on the phone, it would always feel like the day is turned into a week with their endless stories and giggles. Her infectious laughter and encouraging spirit keeps Grace's sanity intact.

 

 

 


Bernadette Aoa - Bridesmaid

Bride's side, Sister
A sister Grace is fond of since she was born. Almost her own daughter since bride-to-be had helped raise her - literally being like a second mom to her in many ways. She is the li'l kiddo who's the constant absorber of Grace's mood swings, but who's definitely close to her heart.

Karla Mae dela Cruz - Bridesmaid

Bride's side, Cousin

One of the loveliest faces in the Diolazo clan. A head turner and a fashionista in her own right. Grace has practically seen Kamae grow from a snubbish little kid to a social butterfly. She's one of her favorite cousins who she'll never get tired of hanging out with - despite the age gap, and all.  A totally sweet & hip chick that the bride-to-be adores & loves!


Sparkle Martinez - Secondary Sponsor - Veil

Bride's side, Highschool barkada
A true beauty that walks this earth!  Sproks has been Grace's friend since freshman year in HS.  The "crush ng bayan" in their batch.  She never ceases to captivate the hearts of people because of her kindness, fun-tabulous sounding giggle and sunny disposition in life.  A good listener and a dependable friend at all times.

Mary Grace Miranda, MD - Secondary Sponsor - Cord

Bride's side, Highschool barkada
Jeez, as she is fondly called, is the official party planner of Grace's HS barkada…mainly because all the parties are held at their place! She is perhaps the most generous person created by God – very approachable and always willing to help. A good listener, a sensible talker and a good shoulder to cry on. An remarkable chum who will keep your spirit up wherever you go.

Mylin Aquino - Secondary Sponsor - Candle

Bride's side, Highschool barkada

My and Grace go way back during the good old Girl Scout years in highschool.  She is her constant companion for movies, shopping and girl-talk.  They support each other at the low points of their lives, and they keep each other’s secrets like treasures of past centuries.  A good confidante and a sympathetic ear through all these years – never a day has Grace not thanked God for blessing her with such a gift like My.  


Stephanie Alexis Fucanan - Flower Girl

Bride's side, Daughter of highschool barkada

Stephy, the lovely daughter of the bride's good highschool friend, Garry, is the first baby of the barkada.  She and the entire gang has seen her grow up from a cute bundle of joy to a darling little kid.  Her sweet, innocent smile can simply ease your worries.  A gem who will always be loved by Crooks & Copps.

 

 

 

 

 


Edizon Rey Hernaez - Best Man

Groom's side, College barkada & roomie

Having Zon as the groom's Best Man isn't simply "returning the favor".  He stood as witness of our relationship from the start.  He's been a good sounding board, a big brother to the bride-to-be, a loyal friend and a trusted kumpare all these years.  Among Ryan's friends, he is the only one we could think of that best fits the Best Man post.


Alfonso Guinto - Groomsman

Bride's side, First Cousin

Grace has seen Fonzy grow...eerr, "sprout" from an adorable little boy to a very tall, young man who's now a certified "Crush ng Bayan" in school. He is her sweetest male cousin who never fails to make the bride-to-be laugh with his jokes. Her fondest memory of him? Watching "White Chicks" DVD together on the eve of his big sister's civil wedding.


Engr. Virgilio Julius Fabian III - Secondary Sponsor - Candle

Bride's side, Highschool friend

The proverbial "alaskador" in Grace's life!  He has made a promise that even in his death bed, he would ask for the bride-to-be to fire one last "hirit" before taking his last breath.   But Bolby, as he is commonly called, is definitely a brother & a dear friend to the bride, and their friendship goes way back in HS...back when Grace was a lot taller than him... *grins!*


Francis Eric Sison - Secondary Sponsor - Veil

Groom's side, College barkada & roomie
Cis is one of Ryan's good friends in UPLB - blocmate, brod in UPLB Mass, housemate, barkada, and almost even neighbors in Paranaque.  As in they've been together for most of their college lives and have been, at some point, constant buddies.  Having him as part of the ento is a special request from the groom as he has only a few trusted friends that he wishes to be present on the big day.

Atty. Alex Francis Garcia - Secondary Sponsor - Cord

Bride's side, Male Bestfriend
How can you describe a bride's bestest male friend in the world??  Simple - he is the most amazing guy in the world, of course next to the groom...who is next to the bride's Dad.  LOL!  =)  Keith is the ever-reliable friend of Grace whom she has known since 2nd year HS.  History says that he swept her off her feet with a bottle of Sprite during their HS Fair...hahaha!  Kidding aside, he is definitely a keeper in the friendship world.  His encouraging words, music and laughter has made the bride see the world in a different perspective. 

Ramt Anthony Hugh Trinidad - Ring Bearer

Groom's side, Godchild
Ramt is the long-lost Godson on Ryan...he hasn't seen this kiddo in like 4 years?!!  Finally managed to spot him through his parents' respective Friendster accounts and is now the official keeper of the wedding rings during the big day. 

Carlos Miguel Arquillo - Arrhae Bearer

Bride's side, Son of highschool barkada
The first son of the barkada.  Carlos is Love's first born who will be sharing the limelight with Garry's daughter, Stephy.  A brilliant boy who's the pride of his Mom & Dad.  A carbon copy of Love's ever-famous killer looks!
