MATRON OF HONOUR
Min Lee
Min and Dee met pretty much the first day they moved into Trinity College. And then they dressed up as each other for Halloween and confused a lot of people. Min is also the mom of Dee's cat niece and nephew.
BRIDESMAID
Gabbie de Lara
Gabbie is Dee's cousin, who many mistake to be her sister. Dee was there the day Gabbie was born. There's video to prove it. They both swooned over Zjelko in Croatia and ate too much steak in Argentina. And she was the first family member to meet Jeff. Back in 2001!
BRIDESMAID
Sylvia Law
Sylvia and Dee have known each other since the days of wide leg jeans. They both thought they were the best-dressed teens and most badass Filipino folk dancers in Victoria. Sylvia taught Dee how to cut tomatoes with knife. At 14.
BRIDESMAID
Meghan Muser
Meghan is the Elaine to Dee's George (best Halloween costume ever). They worked together at Flamingo in New York, and were roommates at Away Day and on weekends when Meghan decided not to go home to Bed-Stuy.
VEIL SPONSOR
Larissa Miklenic
Larissa is Dee's "little sister" and cousin, even though she has always been taller. They lived together in Victoria when Dee was in high school, were Grandma's travel companions to Japan and still make up silly songs together.
CORD SPONSOR
Ali Lam
Ali and Dee met at Trinity College, when Ali thought Dee was really "high school". They spent many moments dancing to Rage Against the Machine and A Tribe Called Quest and Ali has had almost as many haircuts at Dee.
FLOWER GIRL
Mila Cunjak
In all of her one year on this earth, Mila has managed to steal the hearts of everyone she encounters. And she will steal the show with her cuteness! Mila is the daughter of Sara, Jeff's sister and Nick, the best brother-in-law.
CANDLE BEARERS
Misha Pires
Misha is the most well-traveled 11 year old you'll meet. She hails from Japan, has been to countries you didn't know existed and has more airmiles than Martyn Bailey. Misha is the daughter of Dee's cousin, Karl and his wife, Saho.
Kaiya Ahuja
Kaiya may be tiny, but has more wisdom in her pinky finger than all the people on this list. Do yourself a favour and have a conversation with her at the wedding. Kaiya is the daughter of Dee's cousin Serena and her husband, Amit.
Musicians
Liana and Amica Lansigan
Liana and Amica are the most formidable pair of sisters. They could kick the butts of Serena and Venus Williams, Beyonce and Solange Knowles, the Olsen twins and all of the Kardashian/Jenners with all the talent they already have at this age. The girls coined the term "Prince Jeff" and Dee agrees with this description for the most part. They are the daughters of Dee's cousin, Erick and his wife, Reina.
OFFICIANT
Ray Lansigan
Ray once told Jeff "You're the person that everyone wants to stand next to a party." Ray is Dee's cousin. They grew up hanging out in the Hillcrest driveway, first in a red plastic Jeep as kids, then later in his Subaru after coming home from Soundfactory/Limelight/Roxy.
BEST MAN
Daniel de Lara
Dan met Jeff in the early 2000s when he was visiting Dee at U of T. After Dan decided to spend a summer in "The 6", their love grew stronger. They often argue about who is driving back to The Rock and sit on park benches in the middle of Houston Street.
GROOMSMAN
Martyn Bailey
Jeff and Martyn met at the fraternity. In 2002, they embarked on an aggressive road trip to see all 5 Major League Baseball stadiums in California. They have since travelled the world to chase all of the ballparks. They're probably arguing about nothing right now.
GROOMSMaN
Brian Dawes
Jeff and Brian (hereafter known as "Brye") met through Martyn. Brye's unquenchable thirst and love for all things social made for a perfect match. They've spent 72 hours in Japan, 5 days in Mexico and visited almost every state. Watch for the Brye Twinkle.
GROOMSMAN
Rob Drew
Rob arrived at the frat house from Edmonton in a green Mercury Cougar. Jeff knew right away that Rob had a unique and unsettling sense of humour. Travelling to every corner in the UK only brought them closer as Jeff learned to respect a frugal dinner order.
VEIL SPONSOR
Jim Selimos
Jeff has known Jim, aka Meecho, aka Jimmy Deaner for almost all of his life. From the early days of burby (wall ball), CD-buying, Metallica listening, Burger King eating to nightclub going, cottage surviving, and Arriba destroying, Meecho is a champ.
CORD SPONSOR
James Hill
James has been one of Jeff's closest friends since the '80s. "Hack" taught Jeff everything he knows about mid-90s nightclubs. From the Cuda to Nashville, James continues to be as solid a friend anyone could wish for, even when he shows up in the Trackxedo.
RING BEARER
Reyan Ahuja
Reyan is the best storyteller. He'll regale you with tales of his time at the pool when he was looking at "trees" aka pretty ladies and the time he drove at Disney World. He is the son of Dee's cousin, Serena and her husband, Amit.
COIN BEARER
Angelina Lim
Angelina loves when Uncle Jeff and Auntie Dee take her for frozen yogurt because they let her get lots of candy. She is a fun ball of energy and will outdance you at the wedding. Angelina is the daughter of Dee's cousin, Katrina.
READERS
Sara Cunjak
Jeff was 6 when Sara was born. But Sara was more mature from the start. Jeff tore her favourite blankie apart, but he thinks she has forgiven him by now. Sara is still more mature than Jeff and would never tear his blankie apart.
Darrell de Lara
Dee was 10 when Darrell was born. But Darrell was more mature from the start. They share a love of anthropology, singing along to John Frusciante's guitar parts, and Snapchatting photos of cute cats to each other. People now think he's the oldest sibling.
Emcee
Will Wheeler
Dee and Jeff met Will through Dan, the same way they met everyone in NY. A native New Yorker and LA transplant, Will is a lover of Canada, a master of dad jokes, and can quote any line from the Canadian wedding episode of South Park or Wheels, Ontario.
But really, we wouldn't be here today without these four most important people!
