We're getting married!
Wedding Party

Our friendship is getting in bed and chatting until 4am. Although we’ve never lived in the same state since graduating college, keeping up this friendship is so easy with her! I love that we are opposites yet understand each other perfectly. From buying me my first legal drink in Korea to standing next to each other at our weddings, Jiwon has been someone I can count on to be there for me through the different stages of life. She is the kind of friend that supports you and cries for you, and I can’t wait for my turn to be by her side and shed some happy tears for this beautiful couple!

I have known Ted for 12 years and have had the pleasure of being his roommate for 8 of those years. We’ve shared great laughs, amazing achievements, and heartfelt talks about our life and the future. He has always been the life of the party, the luckiest hand, as well as the most understanding person. But, he has never been able to accomplish one thing, share a willing and meaningful dap with me. On his wedding day, I shall help him fulfill his life long wish, which is not getting married to Jiwon, but partake in 1 full dap with I, Patrick S. Congrats

I’ve known Jiwon since college and she’s always been a sister who I can count on, talk non-stop for hours, and eat yummy food with (she seriously has the best recs of food places). I love how she cares for her friends, has contagious laughter, who can be real with you. I can’t imagine what my life would be like without a friend like her. Doing life with her is SO much fun and I cannot wait until she marries her best friend! 🥹

It’s hard to believe it’s been almost ten years since I first met Ted during our undergraduate days. I think one of the first memories of meeting Ted was when I was at DX and I got punched in the face by a random drunk guy while I was throwing away my trash. At Tech, there was a time when I stayed over at Ted’s apartment more than my own (I probably should’ve paid rent HAHA). It’s been a blessing to have Ted as a friend as we share many of the same interests and dumb humor (which I know Jiwon loves). Being Ted and Jiwon’s designated third wheel for all these years, I’m so happy that they are finally getting married!!!

From our vtech days of being careless college kids to learning how to adult together in NYC to now being (soon to be) married & settling down in the burbs, Jiwon and I have experienced lots of life together. In the past 10 years of our friendship, we’ve spent many nights celebrating each other’s wins and just as many nights consoling one another when life didn’t quite go our way. She’s been by my side during every major life event of mine and I’m honored to stand by hers as she marries her one and only!

I honestly don't remember our first encounter during our freshman year at Tech, but we became close pretty much instantly. One of the main thing that brought us together was our weird sense of humor, that happened to match perfectly. He would also come over to our dorm all the time to play games or study (aka play more games), and we even moved in together for the rest of our college years. Both during and post college, there were many nights where we just ignored our responsibilities and played way too many games and I would never trade away any of those nights. I would consider him one of my closest friends and I will cherish all the memories we made and will make in the future. Jiwon being one of my closest friends as well, makes this wedding so much more meaningful. They truly are perfect for each other and I couldn't be more honored than to be a part of their wedding day. Love you guys.

I remember the first time I met Jiwon in college back in 2014 - she was the new transfer student with thick square glasses and a contagious ratchet Richmond laugh. We weren’t close yet in college but I have one distinct memory of Jiwon at one of those Hunter’s Ridge house parties; she came up to ask me for advice about Ted (why ask me? Idk LOL) and of course, with my horrible memory, I don’t remember what advice I gave her but clearly it worked because fast forward 11 years and they’re about to get married. So you’re welcome, Ted ;) All jokes aside, I’m so incredibly grateful and proud to call Jiwon one of my closest friends. I can’t imagine my life without her friendship and I’m blessed that we got to spend our mid-twenties together in NYC - growing, learning and leaning on each other in both our lowest times and happiest moments. Ted is so lucky to have you and I can’t wait to witness one of my dearest friends say “I do” to forever with her soon-to-be husband. I love you guys!

I met Ted in a church small group, and at first, I thought he was the nicest, most holy person you could find. But little did I know, behind the good-guy church facade was a complete, unapologetic guy who loved to have fun, dance, and get drunk. When Ted moved to Centreville, we started spending every weekend together, creating memories, and getting drunk without a care in the world. However, our weekend routine came to an end when he shared the news that he was moving to New York, and while I was sad to see him go, he has always been one of my most dependable friends, someone I could share anything with and seek help from. Our weekends were a blur of unforgettable moments, and despite everything, that chaotic, fun time will always remain a cherished part of our friendship.

2018 Lydia had no clue what kind of friend Jiwon would become the day they grabbed lunch for the first time. She didn’t know that in three months, she’d impulsively book a trip to Cancun with her. Or that in three years, she’d move to LA but still hang out with Jiwon every other month because of how often she visited. Or that in seven years, she’d be one of Jiwon’s bridesmaids, watching her marry the very guy she cried about in year one (LOL). But 2025 Lydia knows~ and can confirm that Jiwon is the absolute best kind of friend to do life with.

Ted and I met freshman year at Virginia Tech and immediately hit it off. We spent a ton of late nights at WAJ, talking about anything and everything while procrastinating. Eventually, that evolved into playing CS:GO and LoL (only ARAM, of course) while still procrastinating. Once we actually got to work, some of the “best” memories I have are pulling all-nighters and struggling to figure out why our code just wouldn’t work. I’m so happy to have met Ted and grateful for his friendship. His fun and goofy personality never failed to make me laugh, even during the toughest times.
