Wedding Party
Sydney Ly
Officiant
If "unconditional love" was a person, it would be Syd. We met through UCSD Wushu and bonded as roommates from 2015-2021. Syd was by my side every step of the way as I grew into my adult self. We have waaaayyy too many memories for me to mention here. And once I met Eric, Syd's unconditional love only spilled onto Eric. It's truly an honor and blessing to have him officiate our wedding!
Ivan Khau
Best Man
My amazing younger brother. In 2021, Ivan made a post in a Facebook group called Subtle Asian Dating—an 'auction' where people could message the person being featured. He even included a picture of my ill conceived COVID mustache. Luckily one of those messages came from Trinity, who reached out after noticing I had a corgi! Thank you for helping me find my partner. I couldn’t be happier to have you as my Best Man.
Mingyu Hu
Maid of Honor
We first met at California Wushu Academy in 2008 but didn't become close until we coached UCSD Wushu in 2015. From groupsets, homecooked meals, music festivals, and abroad trips, thank you for being by my side through all the seasons. I loved those early days in our friendship when she'd come over to do her laundry and play pokemon. Aside from creating a safe space to have fun, she's pushed me to think deeply about my intentions and strive for more meaningful relationships. Cheers to more good eats, flights across the world, and exploring ourselves as we grow!
Brian Chou
Groomsman
Brian was my OG roommate in medical school, we may have met when he was showing off his Naruto scenes playlist. We bonded over skipping class and going golfing. I'll always remember when I was first was talking to Trinity; Brian Chou was looking at our chat and exclaiming what a catch Trinity was because she does ice skating. That helped realized what I had and now here we are. He is the best hype man, wing man, golf man. I am blessed to have you as a groomsman.
Tram Le
Bridesmaid
My DoD (Director of Departments) seastar! We spent many hours volunteering, working, and exploring cute cafes while preparing for grad school applications. Tram has taught me to be vulernable and shown me what true acceptance and empathy looks like. I love that every time we hang out, it's like time truly hasn't passed at all. And she is unapologetically her goofy, loving self, full of typos and silly words, and reminds me to loosen up during difficult times. Hope we get meet up again overseas sometime in the future <3
Brian Lee
Groomsman
Adventurous, unofficial roommate. To be honest, he just appeared one day in our house during medical school and started sleeping over while we play super smash brothers. He also brings the competitiveness out in each of us. But at the same time he is always humble and is one of the most thoughtful person I know. Thank you for pushing me to get out there and out of my comfort zone.
Andrea Diaz
Bridesmaid
Andrea is the epitome of glam but she's more than that. At one point, she was working two full-time jobs and I truly admired her for her diligence, hard work, and grit. Some of my favorite memories include seeing sneak peeks of her relationship with her parents at her father's 60th birthday and coming over to gawk at her 20 ft Christmas tree after eating her mom's pozole. Thank you for sharing moments with your family, exploring your culture together at Valle and CDMX, for the insightful conversations, and mental health walks at the mall <3
Garrett Lui
Groomsman
One of the great friends I have made in medical school. We hung out more towards the end of medical. He is also one of the people I look up to the most—someone you can always rely on, always there to lend an ear. I would have been lost during my intern year without his support. Even though he has moved away, I know I can always count on him. I am so blessed to have you as one of my groomsmen.
Lili Tran
Bridesmaid
Who knew when Lili asked me to switch to "L-Team Only" TWICE we would endlessly text about L-Team things, to PA school things, to dating in the middle of COVID things. If she didn't scroll through Eric's auction and told me to message him, we wouldn't be here! One of my favorite memories includes serendipitously catching up a few days before the stay-at-home order. I knew she was special when she noticed certain things I did to protect myself and validated my feelings. Hope we have many more years of bonding over reality trash (P.S. bach franchise is dying).
