OUR WEddiNg PaRtY

Hi, my name is Ana, I’ve known the bride since we were kids. We remain close friends, continuing to support each other. I feel so lucky to have a friend like Jordanne and am so excited to be there on their special day.

Hey everyone, I’m Ivan. I’ve known Ruayen since the 9th grade. Fun fact: we used to hate each other when we met! But since we were always around the same people and places, I realized he was someone that would be good to have around. Through the years we have helped shape each other and even lived together for a bit. This guy is now my brother for life.

Welcome everyone! I’m Colleen and I’ve known Jordanne for about 7 years now!! She is an amazing person and friend, and I am so grateful to be able to share in her big day!

I’ve known Ruayen since the 5th grade, because he was friends with my cousin Omar. Growing up, we have gotten really close. Growing up together, working long hours together, and now growing families of our own together, I am happy to see his big day.

Hi, I’m Kamryn! I’ve known Jordanne since high school when we used to stay up late playing video games, so it’s cool to see her getting married. She’s always been a great friend and excellent game night planner and I’m happy to be a part of her life.

Ruayen is my brother-in-law. I met Ruayen when he came to Seattle as a kid. Getting to know Ruayen over all the holidays, trips between Wenatchee and Seattle, and all the years of ups and downs – I am proud to see the man he has become, and glad I get to be a part of such a special day.

My name is Gladys and I will be Jordanne’s sister-in-law (officially). She has become a part of the family over the years and I am so excited to watch Ruayen and Jordanne become a family and continue to grow and evolve in this life journey together.

Maria Bailey aka “Beebs” here! I’ve known Jordy since she was a baby, and honestly, it’s been amazing watching her grow up. From the little girl in tutus to the stunning woman she is now, I’ve been lucky to see it all. She’s my cousin, but she’s really more like my baby sister. I’ve always felt so close to her, and I couldn’t be more excited to stand by her side as she takes this next big step. I’m beyond thrilled to celebrate her on this special day! I love you Jordy!!

I met Ruayen in the 9th grade. I was friends with Chuy (Jesus) at the time and we all just clicked. From being on the wrestling team together to having Ruayen and Jordanne see my kids grow up, I can’t wait to see where this beginning leads for the both of them.

I’m THE eldest cousin. The original 1986 baby. I’ve known Jordanne forever and still remember the little girl with the fluffy blonde hair and dark brown eyes. She looked like a porcelain dolly growing up. Although we are many years apart, this girl is my everything. She is the one I want to talk to, play games with and watch movies. (This has been presently interrupted by three cute kids, but they will grow up soon enough and join us.) I am honored to be a part of the bridal party and to observe a fairy tale moment.

Hello everyone, my name is Omar. Ruayen and I have been good friends since the fourth grade. It has been an honor and a pleasure growing up in the same circle of friends. I look forward to seeing Jordanne and Ruayen take this next step together and grow as they continue on down life’s path.

Hi, I’m Alex! I’m Jordanne’s cousin but we basically grew up as sisters who saw each other at least once a year. I am quiet and tiny, but as Jordanne’s older cousin, I am also the strong mother of the group (literally) that always helps everyone (especially Jordanne) feel safe & heard. Stepping into this new journey of hers, I am so happy for my little seester!

Hello, my name is Juan. Ruayen and I have been close friends since childhood. Delighted with all the moments and laughs we got to share. Looking forward to being a part of this big milestone in his life.

Hello everyone, my name is Melinda! I was born and raised in Washington state - aspiring to be my best self every day. I’ve known Jordanne for a good chunk of my life. From "peppering" for high school volleyball, sharing a love for horror movies, and Tostitos pizza rolls with ketchup. It’s so exciting to see her step into this next part of her life.

I’m Maria Rivas. I have known Jordanne for almost five years now. It was a unique way we met, and it’s even more unique how we became friends and have helped each other grow. I am so happy for my friend and I adore her and Ruayen together. They deserve the best and I am glad they keep finding that in each other every day!
