Bridal Party Selected

It wasn't a difficult decision for me to come to when I had to select my bridal party. I have a pretty close group of gal pals that I love dearly, so this was definitely one thing from the wedding planning checklist I could check off easily. Leo still has to come up with his groomsmen.

In any event, here are my bridesmaids:

Jihan Palencia (Maid of Honor) - Total no brainer in having you be my right hand woman. I promise I won't turn into a Bridezilla. I can't wait to plan everything with you.





Erica Gelvan - My cousin. I love you. Hurry home so we can get together!! GO MARQUETTE!!






Nadia Hindaileh - I've known her since Sophomore year of Geometry, when my pick up line to her was "Hey Nad, got any gum?" ;) We've been friends ever since -- over 10 years!!





Kristina Mallorca - If she hadn't started dating Leo's older brother - I am quite certain I would have met this girl later down in my life. Six degrees of separation hits close to home for us. Japan, Philippines, NY -- what next, chick?





Tram Phan and Toni Quach - My pseudo twin (Tram) and one of my best friends, my cousin Toni. These girls know how to party and I know our parties before the wedding will be very memorable. ;)





Sophia Varnasidis - College would not have been the same if I didn't share my experience with Sofoula. Who else could I complain to that my psycho ex roommate moved out on me in the middle of the night, jammed the lock, piled the trash super high and didn't take it out AND stole all of my toilet paper?!
