Wedding Party

Laura Lanier

Attendant of Honor

Laura and the Bride met their freshman year in college when they became sorority sisters. They have been best friends ever since. They have been able to share many special memories over the past decade from scavenger birthday hunts, to hiking trips and more. And even though they are now on opposite sides of the country, they still take time to call and chat about anything and everything.

The bride got to be a bridesmaid in Katie's special day and now is happy to have her here to do the same. They have bonded over their love of nerd things and of course Dragon Con.

Kathryn Moore

Attendant

Kathryn and the Bride met in college at their sorority Alpha Phi. Kathryn looked after the bride and introduced her to college life and what it meant to be in a sorority. Today they are great friends. Both have enjoyed getting to spend time socializing during the monthly book club meetings and dinners out on the town. She is also the reason for the Bride's love of bachelor nation - all it took was one Bachelor Fantasy League and the lure of wine.

David Wu

David and the Bride met in college through mutual friends. They were always able to goof off and hang out with each other. As silly as they can be, the Bride knows that she can always count on David to be there for her. He's been there through break ups and bad nights to the grief of losing her brother. He is an amazing friend and its so nice to see him transition into the role of amazing father as well.

Emily Lee

Emily is the Bride's cousin and she has watched her grown into an amazing young woman. They have spent many holidays and family vacations together watching the craziness of family antics and of course playing lots of cards. Be careful playing her in hearts... she seems so nice till she sends a queen your way.

Valerie is a beautiful dancer and the Bride has loved hearing all about her successes in the dance world and looks forward to seeing her future endeavors. Obviously she's going to be the most graceful out of all of the wedding party on the dance floor.

Alex Morris

Attendant *In Spirit*

Alex is the Bride's brother. He was lost to them in 2018, but he is carried with the families in spirit and memory. Because of the close bond he and the Bride shared, he is of course listed amongst the wedding party. Despite him not being there in a physical sense, the Bride knows how excited he would have been to be there for Aulelia and John's special day. He would of course be up to some wedding day shenanigans if he were here. And the Bride and her brother would go exploring on the property to look for any critters they could find.

Chris Rogers

Attendant

Michael Thao

Officiant

Michael is a mutual friend of both the Bride and Groom. He met the Bride through mutual friends and is one of the Groom's fraternity brothers. Michael is the kind of friend that you can always rely on whether its someone to have fun with or the person you go to for help. He has an amazing spirit and has been there from the very beginning of the Bride and Grooms relationship. There is no better person to officiate them stepping into a new chapter of their relationship.
