Matron of Honor
Home, 1990. Michelle's older sister. Good at everything. Michelle's role model from birth to now. Supermom (to angel babies Bennett and Ruby, aka ring boy and flower girl).
Maid of Honor
UCSD, 2010. Simultaneously head-in-the-clouds and down-to-earth. Fellow lover of pretty but impractical things (e.g., pop-up Little Prince book). Prayer warrior. Amazing writer. Even better friend.
Bridesmaid
UCSD, 2008. College (but really, forever) roomie. Sweet, steady, sensible, spontaneous. Put up with Michelle's snoring and overeating in college. Has definitely made Michelle a better person.
Bridesmaid
CPC, 2008. Humor: edgy but loving. Outlook: optimistic yet realistic. The life of any party. The sweetest, realest, and most devoted friend to those blessed enough to know it.
Bridesmaid
UCSD, 2008. The sweetest person you'll ever meet (for Michelle, one of the first people to make college a little less scary). Friend to all. Ceaselessly loving and artistically talented. A genuine gem.
Bridesmaid
Home, 1991. Best cousin. Co-creator of countless games, holiday plays, and songs about farts. Privy to a side of Michelle few have seen (probably to their benefit). Driven, disciplined, thoughtful, loyal.
Bridesmaid
UCSD, 2008. Introduced Michelle to a kind of intimacy without which she would not quite be who she is today. Unapologetically herself: that is, raw, real, wildly expressive, and intensely loving.
Best Man
Alex's younger brother. Alex met Chris at the age of 2 and tortured him until middle school. Chris has since grown taller than Alex and become WAY cooler. Straight up JalSengKyuSsuh. Intelligent, not to mention tall. Trifecta.
Groomsman
High school friend. Met coincidentally in Art class and haven't looked back since. Bonded through games and anime. Has the only phone number Alex STILL remembers. All in all, a lovely man. Astute, Reliable, and Sexy.
Groomsman
High school friend. Just happened to sit next to him in AP Euro when he had emo hair and gorilla-like posture. Made fun of the fact that Alex was always late and out of breath because he ran to class. Roomed together at UCI. Rebel without a cause turned Pastor. Passionate, Devoted, Spectacular.
Groomsman
Alex's high school friend. Joel was a friend of a friend and then simply became irreplaceable. Has a contagious personality and makes everyone around him feel loved. The envy of all our friends. Through and through a wonderful man. Daring, Perceptive, and Exhilarating.
Groomsman
Alex's childhood friend from church. Countless LAN parties, retreats, and shenanigans brought the two together over the years. There are famous stories about the two friends that include a kidnapping and Canadian arm-wrestling. May the good times and memories keep rolling long after March 10th. Dashing, Fun, and Charismatic.
