Wedding Party

Linh Nguyen

Maid of Honor

We met in high school and bonded over the international club events and academy of finance program. We have since worked and travelled to countless countries together. Our travel bug commenced when Linh visited me in Copenhagen during my study abroad and we toured 3 countries in a week. I'm grateful for the trip and can't forget how sweet she is! I remember telling her that I missed frosted cheerios since the Dane's cereal options are all sugarless. Little did I know, she packed several boxes to last me through my studies. Linh has always been one of the most thoughtful and kind friend I could have asked for. Besides traveling, we also share mutual interests in real estate investing and cricut craft life.

Kevin Ford

Best Man

Kevin and I met freshmen year at Lehigh and were roommates or neighbors for the following four years. While we initially met due to our passion for Super Smash Brothers and dislike of drinking, at least one of those things has changed over time. Beyond various college adventures, Kevin got me into running and helped me immensely in training for my first half marathon ten years ago. We've run a bunch of races together since (though I prefer to lag safely behind him). Kevin runs pretty much every day of the year while also keeping busy doing cool [redacted] work at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab and being a proud cat parent along with his wife Katie.

Crystal Nguonly

Bridesmaid

We met way back in middle school and passed paper notes to each other every day, when handwritten notes were still a thing. Although we moved away from each other multiple times, we have always reunited through our girls' trips. Whether they are short weekend trips on the other side of the coast or weeklong international trips, we always managed to have so much fun because Crystal is such an adventurous and easy-going person. I love her spontaneity and appreciate the dedication to our friendship after all these years. Crystal currently lives in California with her boyfriend Chris.

Andrew Heeter

Groomsman

Andrew and I met in high school - despite attending different high schools, we both played golf and competed against each other in Lincoln Douglas debate on a regular basis. Along with a few others, we also became heavily engrained in an underground poker league, which included various all-night tournaments around the Mechanicsburg area. Andrew and I also both lived in the DC area after graduating college, and I lived together for a year along with his now wife, Laura. While we were both busy professionals, we did find time to play a fair bit of cornhole and invent the famous (and now sadly defunct) British Open drinking game. After brief stints in Chicago for his MBA and New York, Andrew and his wife Laura now live in Richmond VA.

Phoebe Yung

Bridesmaid

We met on the first day of college orientation and were inseparable in college. Phoebe is an ambitious and adventurous gal who is a lot of fun to be around; although catching her in one place could be difficult. Phoebe has managed to live in very exciting cities: Hong Kong, NYC, Beijing, DC, Paris, and London. Phoebe's newest interest is her startup which aims to connect dogs with dog lovers, check out her doggyday.co site! Phoebe currently lives in Brooklyn, NY and recently adopted a rat terrier.

Andrew Kump

Groomsman

Andrew (a.k.a. Kump) and I also met freshmen year of college. We ended up spending much of the next five years in all the same classes as we had the same major (Systems Eng.) and ended up doing the same Master's degree (Quant Finance). Throughout, we worked on pretty much every group project together after being paired as two of the "Four Wise Men" who created the "Auto Rise Dresser" during our Freshmen product development workshop. Andrew has lived in New York working that consulting lifestyle since then, but recently moved out to the suburbs with his lovely wife, Shway. Andrew and Shway are also new parents to Bodhi (shown here).

Rachel Brinson

Bridesmaid

We met in class freshman year and hit it off right away due to our similar personalities. In fact, we were almost in every class together. Since then, we have celebrated every milestones together! Rachel is very thoughtful friend and has an amazing way of bringing people together. One of my fondest memories is the tradition that she created so we could still congregate post college. Patrick and Rachel would host an annual 30 miles bike loop to St.Michaels followed by a crab feast. Mind you, Rachel does not eat seafood! She is truly a one-of-a-kind friend! Rachel and Patrick have two beautiful daughters and a new puppy.

Kai Fei

Groomsman

Kai and I worked together at APT back in 2013-2016, with Kai starting as an intern who got thrown into a demanding project for a private equity firm. Once he joined full-time, he had the misfortune of working with me helping Chico's more effectively sell clothing to older women. After years of working together, Kai and I were both leaving jobs and we decided to start a company together. Thus, we created WeAchieve: a fantastic goal setting and habit tracking app... that went nowhere after about a year and a half of work. Despite the outcome, it was a great experience. Kai now lives in New Jersey with his wife Muran. He is currently finishing up an MBA because a Harvard Math degree will only get you so far these days apparently.

Amy Tsai

Bridesmaid

We met at a bachelorette in Cancun and have been travel buddies ever since. Amy and I have been to 17 countries and countless cities together! I remember her mom always saying, "you again?" when we would head off on our trips. I love that she is open to trying new things and goes with the flow. Aside from being an avid traveler, Amy enjoys painting and golfing.

Chris Mackay

Groomsman

Chris and I are currently neighbors down in the great city of Dallas. We first met after inviting people to our Halloween party back in 2019. Since then, Chris and his wife Sam have been some of the best neighbors one could have during a pandemic. What started with cautious, socially-distanced happy hours in our driveways progressed to deep sea kayak fishing two miles into the Atlantic. As that was my first time ever fishing, you can tell Chris is a talented salesman. He's had to be especially creative this past year as he currently sells parking software to large event organizers like sports teams. He and his wife Sam still live right next to us in Dallas and have an adorable puppy named Joey, who sadly won't be able to attend the wedding.
