Wedding Party
Tiffany Wong
Maid of Honor
Chantal and Tiffany’s friendship started senior year of highschool in Physiology class where they went from talking about homework to being best friends in virtually no time at all. In college, Tiffany would wait for Chantal to finish her last class at 10PM so they could go get McDonald’s together. Fast forward to the present, they still eat together but it's typically Tiffany’s homemade bread and dumplings. She’s been with Chantal through all of life’s big moments and she can't imagine her special day without Tiffany standing by her side as her Maid of Honor.
Ben Hastings
Best Man
Sam met Ben at the hospital when he was born. Sam remembers being slightly disappointed that he would no longer be the center of attention. Little did Sam know, his younger brother would outshine him in pretty much every aspect of life. Ben possesses both a daredevil spirit and an incredible ability to build and design beautiful things.
Alex Heang
Man of Honor
Chantal met Az in Algebra class in their junior year of highschool and have shared many adventures together. They survived a swarm of mosquitos camping in Malibu, got lost in a cookie-cutter condo trying to look for a pool in Venice, and stumbled upon live music in a hole-in-a-wall restaurant in Seattle. It's only fitting that he'll join Chantal as her Man of Honor on her greatest adventure yet.
Ben Bunker
Groomsman
Ben is Sam’s oldest friend. They first met when they were around 2 years old at the Common School. They have inexplicably maintained their friendship over the last 30+ years and they still hang out consistently. They have also had uncannily similar timing for a couple huge life decisions, such as buying a house and getting married.
Kirsten Arce
Bridesmaid
Chantal met Kirsten through Sam when they worked together at Giving Assistant in San Francisco. Kirsten started off as a colleague, but is now like a sibling to Chantal & Sam. She has shown up for the couple in countless ways during the most difficult times. They are each other’s high-maintenance friend and they love sustaining their friendship through cocktails, homemade food, dinner dates, and endless video calls. Who knew a work friend would turn into best friends years later? The wedding day wouldn't be complete without Kirsten’s unforgettable presence.
Mark Marsella
Groomsman
Sam met Mark at Galvanize coding school and since they had the two best final projects they were both hired immediately after ‘graduation’ by a start up called Giving Assistant. While Giving Assistant has since gone under for a large variety of illegal/immoral behavior, Mark and Sam’s friendship is going strong. They have also written a couple bagners as a band called Bango Rex.
Juanita Lai
Bridesmaid
Chantal met Juanita in San Francisco where they worked together at an advertising agency. From being Chantal’s fashion inspiration to being one of her most dependable friends, their friendship has truly grown over the past couple of years. Ever since Juanita moved to LA, they have bonded over navigating friendships in a new city, and she has become one of Chantal’s constant friends. Juanita is also one of the most fun people Chantal knows – and with moves like hers, there is no doubt she’ll be the first one on the dance floor at the wedding!
Chris Wade
Groomsman
Sam and Chris initially met because they were on the same soccer team but they didn’t become good friends until later in middle school. During middle school and beyond, they spent a lot of time destroying opponents in pick up basketball games at the local gym. Chris is the resident sports genius and has been in a fantasy league with Sam and Ben Bunker for over 10 years.
