Chris NguyenChris Nguyen
Groomsman
Chris might be the little brother, but his support’s always been big. From late-night Taco Bell runs and quesadillas to volleyball games and bike rides, he's been a constant—no matter the coast. Now repping New York, he’s still tight with the crew, part of the group chat (even if he misses half the messages), and always ready to talk football—especially if the Raiders are involved. Loyal, lowkey hilarious, and never missing a moment that matters, Chris is the definition of family—by blood and by bond.
Heather NguyenHeather Nguyen
Bridesmaid
If you’ve ever seen someone walk into a room and instantly brighten it—chances are, you’ve just met Heather. With her megawatt smile, effortless style, and energy that could power an entire city, she’s the definition of magnetic. Heather is a true East Coast queen—repping New York and New Jersey with spunk, charm, and killer dance moves. She’s the life of the party, the hype woman everyone wishes they had, and the one who always has the perfect Taylor Swift lyric ready to go. She radiates positivity, lifts people up, and has a genuine love for connecting with others. Even though Heather and I are still getting to know each other, I already feel fortunate to have her in my life. She’s made me feel so welcomed and celebrated, and I’m genuinely excited for all the memories and laughs that lie ahead. Heather, I’m not just gaining a sister-in-law—I’m gaining a new sister, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I love you already, and I can’t wait for everything that’s to come. In the wise words of Taylor Swift: “It’s me, hi, I’m the sister, it’s me.”
David NguyenDavid Nguyen
Groomsman
If passports had a rewards program, David would be platinum. From hidden gems in Japan to steak spots across the globe, this man travels like it’s a sport—and eats like he’s winning. Karaoke? He’s got a song for every mood. Drinks? He’s already poured one for you. David may keep things light and silly, but when it comes to bringing the energy (and the steak), he always delivers. With David around, the party’s always boarding for takeoff.
Anellí MartinezAnellí Martinez
Bridesmaid
Anelli became my bosom sister for life when she lovingly stayed by my side for three days straight at a regional convention, comforting me through intense waves of social anxiety and overstimulation. She saw me at my most vulnerable—and didn’t run. That speaks volumes. On the surface, she may seem soft-spoken, but her love and care run deep—steady, strong, and unwavering. She’s the kind of friend I can cozy up with to watch Downton Abbey or Pride and Prejudice, but also the one I can belt out Adele with in Vegas without shame or hesitation. And now, how incredibly special it is to have you by my side on one of the biggest days of my life! Anelli, you radiate grace, warmth and depth- your heart as beautiful as your smile. You are loyalty in its truest form, and the kind of person who always comes through. Always ready to help, always ready to support—your calm and joyful presence lights up my life. I’m so grateful to have a kindred spirit like you. Te quiero mucho!
James TranJames Tran
Groomsman
James is the definition of a down bro—karaoke night? He’s in. Spontaneous hangout? Say less. From Vietnamese love ballads to Korean hype tracks, his playlist hits every time. He’s always the first to say “I’m down,” and somehow the last to leave when the good times are flowing. Whether it’s a night out, a group trip, or just chilling and reminiscing about the good ol’ days, James brings that ride-or-die energy that every crew needs.
Jamie NahilJamie Nahil
Bridesmaid
Jamie, my Jammy Jams, my Jamburger for life—rightfully dubbed “Crystal 2.0” by one of my younger brother’s friends. She entered my life during my Tagalog-learning era and instantly became my better half, my Asian soul sister. It’s a rare gem of a friend who will dive headfirst into creating an Office spin-off episode with you and spend hours perfecting a Blink-182 cover—just because. Jamie is that gem. She gets things done, and she gets them done well. Uber trustworthy, wildly efficient, emotionally intelligent, and calm under pressure—she leads with the steadiest hand. I always know I can count on her to bring clarity and calm to any storm. Thank you for always giving space for my inner chaotic extrovert to shine, and for championing my relationship with Anthony from day one. You were always the first to cheer him on as the walking green flag he is. I am beyond honored to have you by my side on our big day. Mahal kita Jamie!! I love you with all my puso.
Thinh LeThinh Le
Groomsman
If loyalty and laughter had a face, it’d be Thinh Le. This Vietnamese legend is as reliable as your grandma’s rice cooker and twice as entertaining. Whether he’s cracking jokes, belting karaoke, or reminiscing about the motherland, Thinh brings the vibes. A true lover of all things Vietnam—from street food to street wisdom—Thinh is the kind of guy who’ll hype you up and hold your stuff during the photo shoot. Every groom needs a Thinh in their corner.
Alejandrina Arevalo MoralesAlejandrina Arevalo Morales
Maid of Honor
In the record books for longest-standing friendship, I met Alex when I crashed her wedding back in ’07. Since then, it’s been a whimsical whirlwind of admiring her nonstop creative genius, spontaneous hot Cheetos and Mexican corn runs (pun very much intended), impeccable music sharing, whiplash-inducing humor, and tireless love for everyone fortunate enough to know her. There hasn’t been a concert with her that didn’t shift my soul, a macaron she’s made that didn’t convince me French unicorns are real, or a hangout that didn’t leave me laughing like a wild hyena. She held my hand when my heart was in pieces and literally jumped higher than I did when true love found me. Her reaction? “I can’t stop jumping and screaming! I’m so excited I almost exploded!” And yes—she started a secret Pinterest board for my bachelorette party before I was even engaged and is always willing to pick me up from LAX. That’s Alex. Thank you for being my Mexican Leslie Knope. I couldn’t say “I do” without you. Te amo!
Tuari VoTuari Vo
Groomsman
Discipline? Tuari invented it. While the rest of us hit snooze, he’s already repping out a 7AM workout like it’s light work. He’s retired from the gaming grind and now lives in high definition—literally, his skin glows like a K-drama lead. A true connoisseur of all things Korean—music, food, fashion—you’ll never catch him slipping. Cool without trying, focused without flexing, Tuari’s the definition of put-together. Every squad needs that one guy who raises the bar—Tuari is the bar.
Nancy PhanNancy Phan
Bridesmaid
Now let’s talk about Nancy—our stunning, strong, and seriously fabulous queenie. Nancy is a total force of nature. She’s a bronzed babe who turns heads and hearts. Confident, fit, and fashion-forward—she somehow manages to slay a workout, serve a flawless makeup look, and still leave people speechless with her presence. She’s also the only person I trust to glam me up on my wedding day—and when you’re putting your bridal face in someone’s hands, you know that’s the highest honor. Her makeup artistry is next level, but what really makes her magic is how she makes people feel beautiful from the inside out. Nancy has been one of Anthony’s closest childhood friends, and I’m beyond grateful that I get to grow my own bond with you now as family. From the moment I met you, I knew you were the kind of woman who brings the fire and the fun—always down for a good laugh, a killer outfit, and of course… an espresso martini. And not just any espresso martini. Because if it arrives without the signature three espresso beans on top, you’ll hear her ask—with full sass and flawless delivery—“Where are the beans?!” And honestly, that’s the energy I want in my life forever. Nancy, thank you for being part of our day, for hyping me up, glamming me up, and being the radiant, confident sis that you are. You’ve got the beauty of a Fenty campaign and the heart of pure gold. Like our favorite cocktail, you’re smooth, strong, and absolutely unforgettable.
Tung NguyenTung Nguyen
Groomsman
Tung lives and breathes stats—whether it’s data dashboards or OKC Thunder box scores. He’s got the heart of a hooper, the brain of an analyst, and the physique to prove he never skips gym day. Catch him at a cozy dinner, never a group chat, and always ready to talk ball over a steaming pot of shabu shabu. With his clean style and chill confidence, he’s as dependable as a clutch free throw. Every team needs a calm, calculated baller—Tung’s that guy.
Kathleen PhanKathleen Phan
Bridesmaid
Last but definitely not least, is Kathleen—Nancy’s older sister, a longtime friend of Anthony’s, and someone I’m incredibly fortunate to now call family. Kathleen has this calm, collected, thoughtful, independent way about her and is deeply intuitive. A true eldest daughter: responsible, grounded, and quietly strong, with a natural grace that’s just as stunning as her sister’s (because wow, those genes!). My first quality hangouts with Kathleen were when she visited Austin and we instantly clicked. We even snapped a little selfie together—just a sweet moment I thought nothing of. Little did I know, that photo was going to make its way straight to Anthony. Years later I come to find out that he had already told her, “You should really hang out with Crystal. She’s VERY pretty.” So in a way, she was part of our slow burn of a love story. We love a stealthy queen! She’s a corporate girlie by day, world traveler by heart—always dreaming of her next Vietnam adventure. And even though she doesn’t wear her heart on her sleeve, her care for the people she loves runs deep. She shows up, she supports, and she notices everything… even the little things no one else does. Kathleen, thank you for being here, for being part of this journey, and for being one of those rare, beautiful souls who moves through life with quiet strength and real love. I’m so glad you hung out with me that day in Austin—and even more grateful that you’re here by my side today.
Olivia HortonOlivia Horton
Flower Girl
Our adorable flower girl, Olivia! She just finished first grade, but don’t let her size fool you—she has a personality big enough to fill a whole room. Her smile lights up every space she walks into, and her joy is absolutely contagious. I still remember the time she danced her little heart out to Ariana Grande—it was full of sparkle, sass, and drama. Classic Olivia! She’s a total girly girl who loves glitter, cats, and reading. She also loves her family so much, and you can tell that love just radiates from her. We’re so honored to have her be part of our special day. She brings so much light and sweetness to everything she does—and we can’t wait to see her shine down the aisle. Thank you for being part of our day, Olivia. We love you!
