Meet the Parents

  • Kareena "Kay" Bernardino

    Kayla’s mama — also, plant mom, pro Zumba dancer, and Kayla’s former Uber driver before Uber even existed (5 stars). In 2018, she and Kayla backpacked across Europe together for 1 month!

  • Louise "Zizi" Wattrus

    Steve’s mum — also, the glue that holds the family together, a champagne enthusiast, and truly, the life of any party, big or small. If you see (or hear) a bird that you can’t recognize, ask her.

  • Ricardo "Rick" Bernardino

    Kayla’s pops — also, crypto dad, doctor, and DIY aficionado (tool of choice: super glue). He’s a big reason why the four Bernardino siblings love video games — and used to play Starcraft with us.

  • Harald Wattrus

    Steve’s dad — also, competitive kayaker and one heck of a dancer. Catch him (if you can) on the dance floor! If you can’t find him, he’s probably barefoot in the garden with his trusty leaf blower.

Meet the Siblings (and In-Laws!)

  • Martin "Marty" Bernardino

    Kayla’s oldest bro who lives in Japan — also, polyglot (Japanese, Pashto, Tagalog, Korean, Dari, English, the list goes on…), Army vet, and recovering #1 fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

  • Julian "Julio" Bernardino

    Kayla’s older bro who lives in the Bay Area — also, Huel ambassador, voted Most Likely to Succeed (and is proving everyone right), our trusted financial advisor, and creator of our favorite childhood games. He will be officiating!

  • Laurence "Laz" Wattrus

    Steve’s older brother who lives in South Dakota — also, cyclist (+ co-founder of a cycling computer company) and the sibling that could cleverly get away with things, unlike Steve. He’s a 6’4” giant, and he's also a groomsman!

  • Alyssa Bernardino

    Kayla’s lil sis who lives in LA — also, Mrs. Gabor Maté, dog mom to Opie, and former political commentator (she’s Youtube famous!). We’re patiently waiting for her to become a Twitch streamer…

  • Veronica "Vero/Chewy" Chew

    Julio’s college sweetheart/partner — and dog mom to Cap. She and Julio very graciously let a post-college grad Kayla live with them for 2.5 years. Vero deals well with all of our Bernardino shenanigans. Unable to attend, she’ll be celebrating in spirit!

  • Sylvia "Syl" Fallon

    Laz’s partner — a nurse by trade, fitness fanatic (she got 9th place in a race last December — WHILE PREGNANT), and puzzler extraordinaire. She and Laz currently live in South Dakota, with their dog Zula and daughter Zelda, but will be moving to Colorado Springs soon!

Meet the Bridesmaids & Groomsmen

  • Kerry "Kerr/Ging" Burke

    Kayla's Maid of Honor and friend from high school. They went to college 11 miles away from each other and have completed the Salkantay Trek (which ends at Machu Picchu) and W Trek in Patagonia together.

  • Lianna "Li/Banana" Sabio

    Kayla’s bridesmaid and cousin on her mom's side, who spent three consecutive summers (full of gaming, in case you were wondering) with the Bernardino siblings. She is very much like an older sister to Kayla.

  • Crystal Virata-Kang

    Kayla's bridesmaid and cousin on her dad's side. She is also like an older sister and is the one who ignited Kayla's love for adventure and travel, when she took her to Hawaii in 2012. Unable to attend, she’ll be celebrating in spirit!

  • Christina "Chris" Lee

    Kayla’s bridesmaid and friend from high school. They had all of the same classes and played volleyball together. Since Kayla didn't drive, Christina also took her everywhere. She's a pharmacist so if you need anything...

  • Bianca "Bee" Gardner

    Kayla's bridesmaid and friend since second grade. You'll know her when you see her - look for the six-pack and jacked arms (she competes for the U.S. Army's CrossFit team) and the really nice teeth (she's a dentist).

  • Graham "Gray" van der Merwe

    Steve's Best Man and friend since they were six. They captained the golf team together, and Gray is now competing on the Sunshine Tour - though Steve wants to note that he beat Gray in junior club champs.

  • Laurence "Laz" Wattrus

    Steve’s groomsman and older brother (you already read the rest above) — also, cyclist (+ co-founder of a cycling computer company) and the sibling that could cleverly get away with things, unlike Steve. He’s a 6’4” giant!

  • Bartek "Bart" Ogonowski

    Steve's groomsman and friend since they were six. Together, in their high school days, they were chaos makers and party animals. Bart currently lives in London (and graduated from Oxford!) and is an entrepreneur.

  • William "Will" Whitecross

    Steve's groomsman and friend since they were six. They were actually partners on their golf team (even though Steve tried to take him out with a golf ball once), and they led the charge on the mullet trend at school.

  • Joy "Betichodh" Goel

    Steve's groomsman and friend from college. They were in the same fraternity and also travel buddies in Europe. Joy is a real estate tycoon and Steve's smartest friend (don't take up any gambling bets against him).
