Emanuele and Lisa
Wedding Party
Tryson Song
Matron of Honor
Hi, I’m Tryston and I am the matron of honor. I know Lisa through my parents. When I was in second grade, I asked my parents for a younger sister. 9 months later, Lisa arrived! I can’t believe my parents actually took the suggestion to heart! Whether my parents gave me a baby sister at my request or because they wanted a fourth child themselves (which is the more likely scenario), I ended up being blessed with an adorable younger sister. Fast forward 30 years, and here I am…sitting here writing a bio about…how I know my own sister…yeah, so she’s my younger sister.
Trinity Allam
Maid of Honor
Hi! I’m Trinity, the Maid of Honor and Lisa’s eldest sister. Avid golfer, wine connoisseur and a mama to three rescued puppies. I’d like to think that I was influential in shaping Lisa’s sense of fashion and good tastes in all things being a trend setter myself when penciled-thin eyebrows and way too dark lipliners were in back in the 90’s, but thank goodness she didn’t listen!
Lynna Nguyen
Bridesmaid
Met Lisa freshman year of highschool and from then on we grew closer and closer. We've been there for each other through amazing times, bad decisions and horrible fashion/makeup trends. Love every bit of it and I wouldn't have it any other way! She always goes above and beyond for all her friends and is such a good person inside and out. Manny is one lucky man! Also, I would love to take partial credit for getting Lisa and Manny together. I remember it like it was yesterday! Thanks to me they will get to start their forever together. ◡̈
Charlene Phan
Bridesmaid
We met in high school, roommates sophomore year in college, enemies the rest, and serendipitously housemates post-grad. We shared the same laundry machine so we were forced to be best friends again. Side note: Probably almost died at least five times being Lisa’s friend.
Carolyn Huynh
Bridesmaid
Hi there! I’m Carolyn. Lisa and I have been friends now for 15+ years and we continue to grow our friendship and share life milestones til this day! From making bad decisions in Vegas to being in each other’s weddings, I am happy to have shared so many great memories with Lisa (usually the voice of no reason lol). I of course met Manny through Lisa, and cannot think of a better match for her. You guys are perfect for each other in every way. I cannot wait until your big day!
Mai Nguyen
Bridesmaid
I’ve known Lisa since middle school, can’t remember exactly how we acknowledged one another, but I guess we just knew each other from hanging out with the same group of friends. I don’t know why, but my earliest memory of her was in 7th grade where we were all hanging out waiting to get picked up after school, & she showed off her “Smooth Criminal” ringtone on her Nokia phone w/ the flashing light up case, probably because I thought it was really cool too. Through over 20 years of friendship, Lisa has always been the sweetest person I know, easily making anyone feeling inclusive. She goes above & beyond to give the upmost care for all those she holds dear to her heart. I’m so honored to be a part of her happily ever after journey & can’t wait to spoil her with all the love she deserves!
Michael Angelo Schaba
Best Man
My name is Michael or as my close friends call me SCHABA, my girlfriend Charlotte & I live out in SacTown but both of us were born & raised in the Bay Area. I enjoy fishing, kayaking, spending time with my pup Chester & mall crawling in the new TRD as Lisa may call it. I’ve know Manny since back in 06’, in our early Safeway days. We worked together for a brief time until he later quit/got fired for not wanting to cut his hair. Although he no longer worked there we managed to still stay close friends regardless of his raggedy hair. We went to college together for a few years not knowing what the hell we were doing, but just trying to do something with our lives fresh out of high school. As the years went on and how we’ve grown older, Manny & I’s friendship never seemed to fade away.  
Samuel Ton
Groomsman
What’s up! My name is Sam, born and raised in San Jose, CA. Currently I’m a fireman here in the Bay Area. When I’m not working, I like to spending time lifting weights, going to Home Depot, taking naps, working on my truck, and annoying my wife. The first time I met Lisa was as far back as middle school and the first time I met Manny, we instantly became bros. Lisa and Manny are our amazing friends and we are extremely honored to be part of your special day. We can’t wait to see what amazing adventures you two will have ahead!

There was a serendipitous moment with my wife (Char) and Lisa around 2014 when they were reunited after years of losing touch. This was also about the time Lisa and Manny met and the rest was history. Manny and I share the love of cars/trucks, golf, watches, beer, and good vibes. We've all kept in touch and remained the best of friends despite moving to several different cities (away from The Bay area).
Jimmy Nguyen
Groomsman
I met Lisa through my ex-girlfriend, Mai, and I met Manny through Lisa. I don't remember meeting Lisa anymore, but Lisa's always been the most outgoing person we know. Her adventures always seem a bit crazy at first then end up being some of the most memorable experiences ever, like the time we went to Burning Man. My earliest memory of Manny was when a few former friends of ours wanted to go hiking. They lied and said the hike was <4 miles and all flat, when the actual hike was around 13 miles with steep inclines and declines. Thinking it was less than 4 miles, we brought a bottle of Jameson that Manny carried the entire hike without a single complaint. We never even opened the bottle.
Isreal Alvarez
Best Man
I enjoy taking the boat out to the lake in the summertime and seeing everyone smile as they splash in the water. I also enjoy disc golfing with family, friends, and new acquaintances. I enjoy being active and love surfing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, working out, mountain biking. My family is my life and my hobbies take my mind away from the empty feeling of being away from my best friends and close family. Even though I live miles away from Manny, he still is and will always be one of the best friends that I have the pleasure of knowing. Whenever we link up , it is as if it was just yesterday… we were having the time of our lives without a care in the world. I love you bro, and I’m so very happy for you and Lisa and congratulations on the next chapter of your life… Marriage!
