Well wonder no more! Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the Groomsmen of the Buenviaje-Reyes Wedding Bonanaza 2010. In their own ways, each of these guys had a hand in hooking me up with my future wife so it was only appropriate that they be a part of our wedding.
Best Men:
• Brian Reyes
• Chris Pascual
Groomsmen:
• Rich Cayetano
• Jeff Defensor
• Jero Sabangan
• JJ Sabangan
Brian Reyes
Growing up our mom would often dress us up in the same clothes. When the movie Twins came out we had an easy reference point for clothing style. While I did get the height, it was my brother who was blessed with the good looks, muscles, and full head of hair. I, on the other hand, am the fat, bald guy who complains a lot.
Chris Pascual
What is there to say about the one and only Chris Pascual? Despite being a dreamy heart throb he remains the nicest and most thoughtful guy I know. Lately it's been rare for me to be able to hang out with him but when we were younger, the excitement to go to his house was off the charts. My mom would have barely parked the car in their driveway and we'd jump out of the car and race to be first to ring the doorbell. We're more mature now so I'll let Brian ring the doorbell next time mom drops us off.
Chris is...
Rich Cayetano
Little did I know that on my first day of Spanish 1 class with Señor Phelan during my freshman year of high school I would meet a lifelong friend. True, I was skeptical at first because he introduced himself by asking if I was the cousin of [female cousin or family friend who will go unnamed] so his intentions were a bit suspicious. But it quickly became clear that he would be a trusted friend and one of the funniest guys I know.
Jeff Defensor
When I got to high school I joined the Filipino Student Association not knowing there was already a resident graphic designer specializing in urban t-shirt art. I thought I'd try my hand at graphic design, too, but my influence wasn't quite as far reaching. If you remember those Pinoy Pride and Heritage shirts, Jeff probably started that trend. Here we are, over a decade later, and he's still a fashion trendsetter.

Jero Sabangan
"Whoa cool! You're a DJ? Like DJ Franzen?" I remember asking this around the time I first met Jero. In retrospect that's pretty lame but even so, Jero was one of the first guys to invite me to hang out when I got to high school and that worked out pretty well. But I do blame him for telling me he was going to hook me up with Eileen. That set off a ridiculous chain of events that brings us to the predicament I'm in today. Thanks a lot, Jero.
JJ Sabangan
You know how you occasionally make a bad decision or two under the influence of alcohol? Now, I'm not saying JJ is alcohol in human form; I'm just saying I always have fun when I hang out with this guy. That's the awesome thing about JJ: he always makes sure everyone is having a good time. Even when he's angry. That might actually be when it's the most fun. There are stories that could be told, but this is a family-friendly site.
One of those J's must stand for Jack.
So there you have it. The original date for when I started this post was on April 18 and it's June 1, so if you want more, too bad. I would've written more but I couldn't think of anything else and I figure I've procrastinated on this long enough. In any case, I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a more confident and eager group of s#!t-talkers than the men presented before you, but then again, why would you want to?
