The ENTOURAGE
Dedication. Passion. Good looks.
Every dynamic duo needs a hype squad. These are the irreplaceable MVPs behind the bride and groom: the glue, the glitter, the people who somehow said yes to our pa-cutes.
The PARENTS
The FOUNDING INVESTORS.
They walked so we could aisle. Wise, warm, and wondering why this wedding is costing so much, they are the reason we exist. Biologically and emotionally. (Also, they're the reason there will be extra lechon.)

They've been through thick and thin with the groom. Mostly thick, because most everybody used to be 20 pounds lighter. From high school hijinks to group chats that will forever stay private, they know the groom's deepest secrets and yet still showed up in coordinated barongs. Though it's hard to mess up coordinating barongs.

The A-TEAM
Part SUPPORT GROUP,
Part BEYONCÉ BACKUP DANCERS.
Abby's inner circle and outer sparkle. They came, they slayed, they color-coordinated. Only this elite squad has seen the bride laugh, cry, and cry while laughing. Powered by caffeine, setting spray, and sheer willpower, they are the calm in the chaos and the pak in the pa-cute. Trust kilays to be on fleek (especially on the Robles boys).

The CRUCIAL
MID-CREDITS SCENE
They light things on fire (legally), wrap things around people (consensually), and hand over money (sacramentally). Right at the most pivotal moment, they'll be called to assemble—probably by the sacristan with an eye patch (kuya Nick Puri).

Small but mighty. Their job? Be cute, and walk straight(-ish). Their performance will either make you cry… or go viral. With tita Abby as their inspo, there truly is no in-between.

BEARER BOYS
SMALL BARONGS.
BEEG RESPONSIBILITY.
Bearer boys, or bear boys? There will likely be just as much chaos either way. 🐻 They hold the rings, the stares, and the hearts of everyone watching. Some of them might just take their role seriously. Some though are just here for the snacks. Both, as Gabo will attest, are valid.

CONCELEBRANT
HEART OF GOLD
in a CHEST OF IRON.
In a plot twist worthy of a Jesuit homily, the same priest who once signed Dino’s high school clearance is now helping sanctify his marriage. Known for his calm presence, reflective homilies, and arms that could fold a moral dilemma like laundry, Fr. RB will help bless this union, to remind us all that discernment isn’t just mental exercise. Dino once asked him for guidance; now he’s here, sleeves respectfully hidden, biceps fully consecrated.
