Kimberly & Andrew
Wedding Party
Tanya Hower
Maid of Honor
Kim's favorite sister and first role model, Kim could not have asked for a better older sister to learn from and grow up with! Tanya taught Kim a great deal about how to get out of her comfort zone and have fun in both sports and life, and is someone she looks up to and admires. Post-grad life and love has brought them closer than ever in recent years and Kim is proud to have her big sister at her side when she says "I do!"
Brian Engdahl
Best Man
Andrew's wild lumberjack of a brewmaster brother, Brian has been Andrew's constant companion in Legos, soccer, wrestling, traveling, beer, and wacky shenanigans from diapers to beards! The True Ring-Tiger (ask a Wanaka for the reference), he is the keeper of our bands and greatest brother Andrew could have ever asked for!
Liza Luchkovska
Bridesmaid
Kim and Liza first bonded over their love of tennis and medicine during the first day of their UC Davis Freshmen summer orientation. Since that fateful day, it's always an adventure when they get together - biking around Davis, camping in Yosemite, visits to Santa Cruz, hiking in Lassen, and many more!
Jason Dreisbach
Best Man
Andrew's oldest friend from the sleepy wine-country town of Livermore, Jason and Andrew have had many great adventures in Scouts, High School, College, Europe, and Silicon Valley! A man of few words with a wealth of character, Jason is the go-to guy for "Dad Jokes" and funny stories from childhood and beyond!
Daria Baydina
Bridesmaid
Kim met her lovely friend Daria through Liza and the Russian Club at UC Davis. Originally as roommates for a few years in college, they have shared many fun times in Davis, San Francisco, and Disneyland, and you can bet that in the future they will travel together to many more places around the world!
Ian Rosenthal
Best Man
Andrew's brother-in-arms in both History and Sales, Ian and Andrew's friendship was forged upon a foundation of hard work and fun times doing all-nighters at the Kennedy Library and embarking on our careers in tech in Silicon Valley (with a few pints along the way!). The greatest of roommates and kindest of friends, Ian is a genuine partner and great man!
Courtney Chason
Bridesmaid
Courtney can be credited for the meeting of Andrew and Kim on that fateful Picnic Day in Davis that brought the two of them together! A fellow Exercise Biology major at UC Davis, Kim and Courtney bonded during their Athletic Training internship, and ended up as roommates after Kim graduated. Courtney's kindness, perseverance, and compassion will take her far in medical school and beyond, and she will always be a dear friend to Andrew and Kim.
Enpo Tu
Best Man
Andrew's partner in crime in business and adventure, Enpo and Andrew started a deep friendship discussing markets and video games by day and where to find the best cocktails by night! Andrew's close collaborator in fashion, finance, and flair, Enpo has a wealth of stories and smiles to share that will always be sure to entertain!
Erika Chason
Bridesmaid
Courtney's twin (can you see the resemblance?) and also a fellow Exercise Biology major at UC Davis, Erika was a good friend of both Kim and Andrew before the two met! Erika's drive and compassion led her to become a great Physical Therapist and an even better friend. From Picnic Days to hiking in Oregon, Kim and Erika have shared many adventures and will have many more in the future!
Ed McKinley
Best Man
One of Andrew's best friends from college, Ed taught Andrew a good deal about style and how to properly cut loose after a long week of work and study! Always one to cut a rug and open a dance circle for all eyes to see, Ed is one of the genuinely most fun people you could possibly meet and is always sure to share a laugh when it matters most. Don't be surprised if this guy is the first one to hit the the dance floor once the music starts to flow, as Ed brings the party wherever we all go!
Diana Yang
Bridesmaid
As Kim's medical school "little", Diana truly shares Kim's medical school experience. They could talk for hours instead of studying, but in the end are able to keep each other on track. Cannot wait to see your successes in your career and life, (future) Dr. Yang!
Eathan Vavak
Best Man
One fateful Middle School social studies project brought Andrew and Eathan together in 6th grade that would set the standard for a friendship and brotherhood that would last well through high school, college, and today. Eathan taught Andrew how to get out of his comfort zone and embark on fun and creative adventures in Livermore and beyond (be sure to ask him about the time we drove a golf cart to Tracy over Paterson Pass, that one is a hoot!). Andrew's brother on the grid-iron and the mat, as well as his constant adventure companion, Eathan is always a source of great stories from days gone by as well as the architect of many new ones to come!
