Wedding Party
Alisa Pham
Bridesmaid
Alisa met the bride freshman year as her college roommate. She remembers the endless ping pong-induced hysterical laughter, learning how to do the Hook ‘Em sign correctly at their first UT football game, and sharing weird moments of clipping toenails together in their dorm.
Daniel Siqueira
Groomsman
Daniel met the groom in a dungeon that Georgia Tech insisted on calling a dorm their freshman year. He remembers pulling all-nighters, eating Chick-fil-A fries to recover from the all-nighters, and the time they procrastinated so much they taught themselves how to read Greek.
Katie Koerner
Bridesmaid
Katie met the bride freshman year of college, but they became close when they shared an apartment junior year. She remembers their crazy adventures from (unknowingly) crashing a party bus, jumping into Jacob’s Well, and letting Liana practice IV insertion on her arm.
Sam Di
Groomsman
Sam met the groom freshman year of high school in "Introduction to Journalism." He remembers sneaking out of school early to go to Burger King, long debates over the quality of various a cappella groups, and exploring the mean streets of Jackson, Mississippi on countless math and science competitions.
Elizabeth Vasquez
Bridesmaid
Lizzy met the bride while both working at Camp Longhorn. She remembers floating on the lazy river, dance parties when everyone was out, and afternoon naps they took at the cabin where Liana snored, but she didn't care because Liana's wonderful laugh made up for it.
Dexter Lee
Groomsman
Dex met the groom in elementary school but really became close friends freshman year when they both joined the high school soccer team. He remembers bonding over being bench warmers together in below-freezing weather conditions every Friday night for four months.
Allison Leung
Bridesmaid
Allison met the bride in college. She remembers sunbathing on beautiful beaches in Puerto Rico, having home-cooked dinner dates, and going through nursing school together, especially the times when Liana would fall asleep during class and then proceed to ask what she missed.
Alex Mullen
Groomsman
Alex met the groom when they were elementary school classmates. He remembers kicking Bruno's butt in karate, goofing around while working on the high school newspaper, and surviving a post-college road trip to California together.
Carlos Lo Chau
MARRIAGE WITNESS
Carlos met the bride at birth and is her older brother. He remembers Liana holding onto him by his pinkie as a child, actually listening to him while growing up, and sneaking out of the house in the middle of the night to get Taco Cabana without letting their parents find out.
Wen Zhang
MARRIAGE WITNESS
Wen met the bride in middle school. He remembers the time when Liana dared him to do something silly, so he decided to stick his left foot out of the driver’s window while still driving. She laughed so hard that tears came out! Even until today, he's still not sure why she thought it was so funny.
Bella
Ring Bearer
The bride and groom adopted then-six-year-old Bella in 2016. They originally planned for her to walk down the aisle as ring bearer but she unfortunately passed away in October 2018. Although Bella will not be at the wedding physically, she will always be the ring bearer in the couple's hearts and they will continue to dedicate this honor to her.
