Genevieve you have truely been my little sister. We have had intense fights throughout the years, but what really impresses me about you is that you have never held anything against me. During your teeanage years you still made sure that your friends respected me even when we weren't on good terms. Thank you for not giving up on our relationship as family. I love you very much.

Oh Janice I love you so much! I feel like this year we have gotten really close. Thank you for all those times just kicken it with me, going to LA, meeting up with me when I've had a bad day and simple just hanging out and having girl time. I love your honesty, a trait thats hard to find. Thank you so much for all your time through this whole process. You have no idea how much I appreaciate it. You are an amazing person that I will cherish all my life.

I will never forget our time together at good ol’ OCC. You made nursing prerequisites so much fun. Your bubbly personality and my ghettoness together is the perfect recipe for a long lasting friendship, don’t ask me how, but it works. Even though we don’t see each other very often nowadays, once we do, it’s like time never passed. You haven’t changed and I love you for that. Hopefully soon we will get to work together and the duo will be back in action.

Janna I want to thank you for being who you are. You are a confident, friendly, welcoming being. These are the qualities the projected our friendship. Sophomore year was the worst for me because I didn’t know anyone, till I met you. I remember sitting in the bus and we were heading over to some Spanish museum and you started the conversation by asking “are you Filipino?” Ever since then we have been such great friends! Thank you for all the wonderful memories, I am so grateful for them.

My oversized flower girl, who is taller than me. I just wanted to say how much I love you and how beautiful you’ve become. I can’t believe how time flies, I can still remember changing your diaper and all the mishaps that came along with watching you. For example the toothpick that you placed in your ear and also the time where you rolled off a gigantic Winnie the Pooh and hit your chin on the cabinet. Sorry I wasn’t a very good babysitter, what can you do, I was still a kid myself.  Aside from all that you have turned out to be a pretty good kid. You still have your life ahead of you and I hope that if you ever need anything, you know I will always be there. I love you. You’re going to be the most gorgeous flower girl ever!

My baby cousin, the cutest baby out of all of us. I can’t wait to see him in a suit for the first time. He is going to be such a handsome little man. Watch out girls!

My dearest, beautiful brother, thanks so much for standing by me in my most terrifying and terrific moment. Given the twenty-six plus years of support that have preceded this moment, it is not surprising that you would be here. I love you so much for being precisely who you are, my big brother! Thank you again and again and again a million times over, perhaps I can repay you somehow, someday, until then i will continue indebted to you and in awe of you. Love you B.

Boy it is a long way from the 'Wood. I suppose it is fitting that you and I are facing down the big day just a few weeks apart. I am grateful to have you here with me on such an important day, but I think that is the stuff of our friendship. We have, for what seems like forever, been along side one another for everything. Hell, we were born only three weeks apart! I love you brother, thanks for standing with me! 

Schaef, you have done much for Roch and I before the big day. Thank you for looking at rings with me so long ago, for helping to stage our proposal and of course for our beautiful engagement photos. You have been an amazing friend for so many years and I am so grateful to have you standing by me on this momentous day! Love you Brosky.

All throughout our friendship we have been completely unconventional! So why break our conventional unconventionalism by following the normal convention? Right! So here we are! I am so honored that you agreed to be part of my groomsmen. You have been an amazing friend through so many difficult times and I am so grateful that you will be joining me at the business end of the aisle, for a second time. Any of those who are unawares I presided over Lauren's marriage to her husband Collin. Love you Lauren, and again thank you!

My darling Lennon, someday you will be too old to remember all this and perhaps will not know how precious you are and how important you were on this day. I forgive you in advance for looking better than me in a suit and I thank you with a gratitude you are many years from understanding for being a part of this day with Aunt 'Chelle and I. I love you little nephooo!
