Lisa & Justin
Wedding Party
Corinna
Maid of Honor
Corinna and I met studying abroad in Shanghai. We bonded over our love for avocado pizza, freshly cut fruit from the fancy shop next to our dorms, and Shaun T workout videos in our tiny apartments. We've traveled the world together, ran several half marathons side-by-side, and made many memories in SF. We are always on the same wavelength, and I'm excited to have her by my side as my Maid of Honor!
Ron
Best Man
Ron and I met in the same starting class at Deloitte right after college. Even though we've only known each other for a few years, we've made so many memories together, and I feel like I've known him forever. We've explored SF together, seen 100+ music artists together, hiked in Iceland together, and I know we're just getting started. Ron - I'm so excited and honored to have you (aka MY MAN) stand by my side as my Best Man!
Catherine
Bridesmaid
Catherine and I have known each other since the third grade, making her my longest and dearest friendship! She is miles apart kicking butt in med school AND in her kickboxing classes (#bosslady), but still makes time to send the loveliest handwritten cards and letters every holiday. She flew all the way from Ohio for the engagement and I couldn't help but ugly cry when I saw her.
Alan
Groomsman
Alan and I met in Shanghai while we were both studying abroad. We explored a lot of China together, but one memory I'll never forget is climbing Mount Hua. Alan and I both ended up in the Bay Area after college and have become really close friends. Alan - thank you for always being down for anything. You're my "B", and I really appreciate how you always take the time to reach out to see how I'm doing.
Gina
Bridesmaid
Gina and I met in our dorms at Cal. We've shared many memories together, from blurry nights hiding away from our RA in the bathrooms, to trudging through pockets of snowy paths on our backpacking trips, to fun nights eating takeout and watching Field of Dreams. We can dress up and go on large shopping sprees (it's dangerous to put us two together in a store) and we can go 5 days without showering on the trail, and it's always a fun time.
Conrad
Groomsman
Conrad and I met in Shanghai while we were both studying abroad. I still remember the first time we met; Conrad was wearing his bright green jacket, and we small talked about our majors. Since then our relationship has evolved, and today Conrad is one of my best friends. From biking to our dorms in Shanghai to making the protein window to partying it up in Miami, it's always been a blast. Conrad - thanks for always lifting me up on your shoulders (figuratively & literally).
Joanna
Bridesmaid
Joanna and I met in elementary school. We made cheer and powderpuff routines, sweated through 2 rounds of Insanity, worked our first retail jobs measuring people at Victoria's Secret, and kept each other accountable through community college together. I don't know what I would've done without her especially during those two years. We will always find a way back to each other somehow and somewhere, and I know this is a friendship I'll keep forever!
Lukas
Groomsman
Lukas and I both grew up in Cupertino, but we really got to know each other more towards the end of college. Lukas literally changed my life when he took me to my first music festival, Hard Summer, which has fueled my passion for live music. Lukas - thank you for being one of my best friends. You've taught me how to live life in the moment, and I know we'll always have each other's back.
Kristani
Bridesmaid
Kristani and I met in the 5th grade. I thought she was so cool because she was a gamer, and I bought the Everquest expansion pack so she could teach me how to play (the expansion pack doesn't work without the actual game). She forgave my noobness and thus started our friendship! We spent countless hours on the phone, played all types of RPG games together, and just enjoyed each other's company, even if we were just doing our own thing.
Rayshone
Groomsman
Rayshone and I have known each other since middle school, but didn't become close friends until we both went to Cal (Go Bears!). Rayshone is one of the smartest and most hardworking individuals I know. If it weren't for his help in college, I wouldn't be where I am today. Rayshone - thank you for always being there for me. I'm so thankful for our friendship and honored to have you as one of my groomsmen.
Nicole
Bridesmaid
Nicole and I met in the 6th grade. She is the warmest person I know, and hands down, the most hardworking person you'll ever meet. Many memories spent lip-syncing to High School Musical songs (all hidden on YouTube), baking goodies in her kitchen, and countless trips to Great America. Though her, Kristani, and I live in different cities now, we always find a way back to each other. #KLN forevs.
Thomas
Groomsman
Thomas and I met right after college through Gina (one of Lisa's bridesmaids!). It's because of him and Gina that Lisa and I got into backpacking! Every year we go on a backpacking trip, and it's always a highlight. From getting our clothes caught in waterfalls (Lisa!) to singing karaoke at the top of our lungs at Jaguar, we always have a blast. Thomas - I'm so thankful for our friendship, and I know there are more memories to come!
Wenyi
Bridesmaid
Wenyi and I met in 2014. Her and Justin met through Deloitte first, but I quickly stole her from Justin :) She is so considerate, organized (seriously, her Excel skills are insane), and fun-loving. We've danced through Bourbon Street in New Orleans, swam in the Blue Lagoon (and absolutely ruined our hair), and took turns napping and eating our weight in Costco snacks through 2000+ miles on the roads of Iceland.
William
Groomsman
William and I met in Shanghai while we were both studying abroad. We had a blast going out in Shanghai, but it wasn't until Will moved to San Francisco that we became best friends. From partying all night at EDC to backpacking across Southeast Asia, we've done it all. Will - you'll always be our third roommate, and I'm excited to have you stand by me as one of my groomsmen!
