Wedding Party
Chioma Anidi
Maid of Honor
As the maid of honor and the bride's younger sister, I've had the privilege of knowing Chika my whole life. We've shared a lifetime of laughter, secrets, and adventures. From sibling rivalries to supporting each other through the highs and lows of adulthood, our sisterly bond has grown stronger with each passing year. Standing by her side on this special day is not just an honor but a testament to the enduring love and friendship that only sisters can share.
Lea de Jonge
Bridesmaid
Hello I'm Lea. My and Chika's journey to best friendship began way back in 1999 in second grade when I recognized my neighbor, who lived just 6 houses away, in the sandbox at school. I introduced myself and the rest is history. Since then Chika and I have remained bestest friends, always creating fun memories with each other through each new phase of life no matter the distance. I have seen Chika and Rob change and evolve into a wonderful couple and am so thankful to have them in my life. Chika and Rob have gone on to be my firstborn's Godparents and I am excited to share and continue our never ending adventures in life.
Khristian Durham
Bridesmaid
I met Chika when I was 14 and she hasn't let me stop being her friend yet. I thought maybe when we parted ways in college, it would be difficult to maintain a friendship. Boy was I wrong. Chika never let me forget her. She'd show up unannounced to my parents house on many holidays or any school break. When we were finally in the same part of California again after college, we picked up like we never stopped. I love Chika dearly, so it's only fitting that she has an equally as lovable fiancée. Rob is amazing for and with Chika. I'm lucky to have both Rob and Chika in my life. Unfortunately for them, it'll be tough to get rid of me now.
Alex Guevara
Bridesmaid
I met Chika in high school where we shared multiple classes. We've been able to grow our friendship through a shared appreciation for medicine, science, and TV shows.
Sarah Bautista
Bridesmaid
I have been lucky to have known Chika since high school, it actually all started with a nap in class. Time away at college sent us to hang in different circles, but life brought us back together and now our love island watch parties will never be boring or lacking alcohol. Chika started dating Rob in the peak of the pandemic, but that didn't stop her from seeing him, even if it was from 6 feet apart. It has been amazing seeing their relationship grow and to have Rob be a great addition to our group! Their unconditional love for each other is nothing short of beautiful and I am honored to see my friend live life with her forever person.
Jocelyn Cazares Willingham
Bridesmaid
Jocelyn (Joe-say-leen) met Chika during her Sophomore year of high school where they quickly became close friends as they bonded over being the only sane individuals in their Christian Morality class. Their friendship has only grown since then from adventures of taking multiple buses for a tattoo to constant trips between UC Berkeley and UC Davis to visit each other to accompanying each other in all their big moments of life.
Jamil Wardlow
Groomsman
My name is Jamil Wardlow and I am pursuing a career in the apartment maintenance/management industry. I had the pleasure of meeting Robert while attending CSUF, where we quickly became friends and formed a strong bond. Robert became like a brother to me and his influence on my life has been profound. He not only introduced me to some amazing TV shows but also displayed an incredible sense of humor and unwavering support. It was because of his encouragement that I found the courage to explore my passion for creative writing and reciting. Robert has always been a dear friend to me, and I am truly honored to stand by his side as he embarks on this new chapter.
Patrick Collins
Groomsman
Robert and I are cousins but growing up he was like an older brother. When I was young he pretty much took me under his wing, making sure I was on the right track morally. I remember showing me Wu-Tang for the first time and how cool their songs were. I would always look forward to the next artist or music video he’d introduce me to. Every time we meet we laugh for days, this man could be a comedian. Laughing at times when I dropped my SEGA Dreamcast in the rain to the time he was chasing a receipt for a tv cable in the middle of the busy street. My childhood would for sure have been a bore without him it and I can't wait for the next adventure.
Nico Jauregui
Best Man
Hi my name is Nico and I love to run. I have know Robert since I was in the 6th grade when he and my older sibling were sophomores in high school. Robert has always been there for me and been another older brother in my life. He helps me see there are always more sides to life and that one should always think about other people's perspectives. I'm so excited for Chika to join the family and for us to train for our first turkey trot together. Robert has traveled thousand of miles to the middle of nowhere Colorado to support me and he knows I would do the same for him.
Alban Anidi
Groomsman
My name is Alban and I am brother to the bride Chika. I first met Rob when he and my sister started dating back in summer of 2020. We hit it off immediately and bonded over movies and games. I think of him as the brother I never had and I can't wait to welcome him into the family.
Damon Wilson
Groomsman
My name is Damon Lee Wilson, also known as, DJ Dash. I am the CEO/Founder of Dash Industries, where I function as a Disc Jockey, Music Producer, MC, Public Speaker, and Social Media Content Creator. Robert and I met at CSUF via APAC. We became friends through our involvement with No Kurfew Ent., a group of college chums who considered themselves creatives that collaborated together to uplift each other and create and put out dope creative content. We became close friends, close enough for him to include me in his wedding, through our mutual enjoyment of shock value entertainment, taboo conversations, and whatever we said we were going to do, we did.
