Alexa & Lucas
Wedding Party
Robert Williams
Best Man
A relationship groomed from the grounds of undergraduate biology, George and Lucas quickly became best of friends over their unique sense of humor, true passion for medicine, and video games. While the two have been devastatingly separated for medical training, the comms and frequent phone calls rivaling the lengths of their female counterparts show the true love stays strong. There is hope the two may come together for future training but only time may tell - chaos is everywhere.
Jennifer Sticka
Matron of Honor
Jenn and Alexa were set up on a playdate by their moms in third grade and never looked back. They played 6th grade volleyball together and went through the awkward hair straightening phase of 7th grade, only to be separated when Jenn moved to Oregon their freshman year of high school. Only it didn't really feel like they were separated by hundreds of miles because their friendship, love, and appreciation for each other only grew deeper. Jenn is a rock for Alexa through voice notes, texts of encouragement, and hours on the phone together. How lucky they are to have a friendship that makes saying goodbye each time so hard :')
Kyle Chen
Groomsman
A relationship old enough that it would scare the Wolf on Wallstreet, Kyle and Lucas are another EKC OG byproduct - growing up together since the yung age of 4. Winning Best Roommate of the Year from 2016-2020, Kyle introduced Lucas to the Xbox, CoD, and pizza rolls. While the two don't wake up to each other's lovely faces anymore, every meetup feels as if time has never passed - a sign of true day one homies. Each week, the two can be found risking their lives fighting the forces of communism, heretics, and terrorists for the greater good of the humankind.
Priscilla Chiang
Maid of Honor
Priscilla and Alexa's friendship dates back to days together in Pullman, Washington, and the thing Alexa will always remember about how it all started is how much they laughed together. Being roommates, world travelers, and swimming enthusiasts, Priscilla and Alexa have been on countless adventures that have only brought them closer. No matter what is going on in life, whether it's throwing epic themed parties, falling asleep in class together, pursing individual career paths, or celebrating small successes, it has all been done with joy, love, and laughter. Knowing each other like the back of their hands, Alexa feels so thankful to have Priscilla by her side for another sweet milestone in life.
Aaron Wu
Groomsman
Where do we begin with our glorious Pookie Bear King Aaron Wu. Lucas and Aaron grew up together as EKC OGs. While the focal point of their interests have changed over time from nerf guns to Warzone and the NBA, the friendship has not. Lucas always appreciates the pearls of wisdom Dr. Wu has to offer as he struggles with reading EKGs, managing LSSI, or other rudimentary practices of medicine. Whatever the conversation entails, at the end of the day, it's just two day 1's shooting the excrement.
Nicole Cramer
Bridesmaid
Since the day they met, Alexa has been a mini Nicole in the making. Following in Nicole's footsteps, Alexa both played frisbee in college and decided to get a masters in Public Health. Sharing her wisdom and taking Alexa under her wing, Nicole opened up Alexa's eyes to what life in Seattle could look like and a loving community she could be a part of at a giant university. Ever since, they've fostered a deep friendship sharing a love for competing, painting, outdoor activities, head massages, and food Tian cooks. Through all of life's ups and downs, Nicole's friendship has always been a place of joy, comfort, and inspiration for Alexa. Engaged for life through peach rings, sorry Tian!
Edward Lou
Groomsman
Not gifted with the genetics to excel at a sport, Edward and Lucas first met at the plastic disc hobby team in high school. Since then, the two have "enjoyed" many seasons of frisbee together and even experienced life as roommates (+alexa!) without the usual falling out afterwards. Off the field, Edward and Lucas grow their culinary skills together from the humble beginnings of meatballs in the dorm kitchen to miso black cod and steak of today. It would be remiss to omit their love for the NFL and NBA, often a center point of their culinary experiments today.
Ciara Thoreson
Bridesmaid
Alexa met Ciara sophomore year of college and from the very beginning it was so easy to tell she'd be a friend for life. She is fiercely loyal and someone you simply just always have a good time with. Through being neighbors and living with their closest friends (shoutout the ppals), sharing a love for watermelon margaritas, and going to husky games, their friendship blossomed. Alexa has been lucky enough to have continued to experience so much of life with Ciara by her side. A ride or die for life.
Ameya Gadkari
Groomsman
The BigBoyAmeya x LoocasChen collab was birthed in 8th grade at International School. As a midseason transfer from another school, Lucas quickly found himself alone. Fortunately Ameya took him under his wing, coaching him on the basics of physics and computer science - where their friendship blossomed. Since then, the two continue to grow in their constant pursuit of athletic competence and gaming excellence. Despite residing on opposite sides of this great country, these two always find a way to catch up through Ameya's love for all things asian.
Stephanie Phillips
Bridesmaid
From the moment they met in college, Stephanie and Alexa were quite simply obsessed with each other. Having played frisbee for 7 years together on multiple teams, they have no better way to put it other than "we've lived lives together." Steph's joy for life and people was instantly contagious and since 2018 she has been someone Alexa has constantly leaned on for motivation, advice, a good laugh, a listening ear, and so much more. In it together, everywhere they go.
