Matron of Honor
Meeting in residency over an interest of Valentine's day cookie-decorating, we quickly became besties who explored the triangle food scene, took pottery classes, and traveled together. Ying is someone I admire as a strong person, a great friend, and a successful orthodontist.
Officiant and Bridesmaid
Jonathan and Karen have been friends since their undergraduate days at the University of Florida. Karen has welcomed Ashley into the infamous Miami crew and has a fun-loving attitude about life. She and Marcelo, a groomsman, have been traveling the country in an RV since July 2021!
Bridesmaid
It's hard to imagine life without Abby in it! A fellow photographer, she doesn't mind traveling with Ashley and Jonathan and stopping to get the Instagram worthy shots. Along with her husband, Matt (the Best Man), the four of us can be found together eating delicious food, having doggie play dates, traveling or playing a board game (which Jonathan and Ashley typically lose!)
Bridesmaid
As Jonathan's younger sister, Ana puts up with his corny jokes and attempts to be cool on Tik-Tok. Ana is thoughtful, spunky and keeps us all up to date on what's popular with the Gen-Zers!
Best Man
A man of many skills, Matt will talk to you about science, cook up a Michelin star meal, hike a mountain, or enjoy a music festival with you. A great friend and fellow Raleigh-ian. Married to Abby (bridesmaid), we'll be lucky to share the same wedding anniversary!
Groomsman
A friend who has been there for Jonathan through thick and thin. Marcelo brings energy to the room and we're all sure to have a good time with him. The other half of Karen, officiant and bridesmaid.
Groomsman
A fellow computer nerd, Anibal and Jonathan met while studying computer science at UF. I admire Anibal's discipline in all aspects of life and wish our dog, Finn, was trained half as well as his dog, Appa.
Groomsman
Ivan is one of the people responsible for keeping Jonathan in NC long enough to meet Ashley. I met Ivan at a Cuban salsa class and have vicariously lived through his adventures motorcycling around the country and moving to Colorado.
