Wedding Party
Bao
Maid of Honor
Bao is Ellen's older sister and has always been a loving presence in her life. In many ways, she’s acted as a second mother—selfless, dependable, and always putting family first, with a kindness and protective nature that have made her a constant source of strength and support.
Stephanie
Maid of Honor
Stephanie is Ellen's younger sister and Irish twin, yet she’s always carried herself like the older one, offering support and guidance along the way. From celebrating birthdays to dressing up like true twins, she brings humor, fun, and genuine kindness into every stage of life.
Gaofeng
Bridesmaid
Gaofeng is Ellen's cherished niece whom Ellen watched grow into the exceptional woman she is today. She is thoughtful and highly knowledgeable, carries herself with admirable respect and poise, while her natural wit brings warmth and light to any room she enters.
Emily
Bridesmaid
Emily is Ellen's beloved niece whom Ellen watched grow into a knowledgeable and respectful young woman. Her pure heart and radiant smile, which effortlessly illuminate any room, exemplify the grace, warmth, and sincerity she brings to those around her.
Chelsea
Bridesmaid
Chelsea is Ellen's dear friend whom she first met through work. What began as a professional connection grew into a meaningful, sister-like bond; Chelsea is intelligent, warm spirited, and she carries an energy that naturally aligns with Ellen's own.
Lindsey
Bridesmaid
Austin's sister-in-law, is known for her generosity. She often expresses her love through cooking and caring for those around her, never expecting anything in return.
Sergio
Officiant & Best Man
Since college, Sergio has influenced Austin with his social skills and natural ability to always have a plan. He matches Austin’s laid-back, ready-for-anything energy effortlessly. And somehow, thankfully, he still manages to put up with Austin’s goofiness without hesitation.
Isaac
Best Man
Austin has known Isaac since high school, and somehow they’ve made it through every phase of life without getting any less weird. Isaac is one of the few people who truly matches his energy... Impressive and slightly concerning.
Jesse
Groomsman
Austin’s second oldest brother, Jesse, shares the same weird/dry sense of humor that most people don’t always catch — but they do. He’s just as big of a gamer and computer geek as Austin, if not more. Whether ranting about games or talking tech, they’ve always clicked over their shared nerd side.
Chase
Groomsman
Chase is Austin’s oldest brother and someone he’s always looked up to in his own way. He loves the outdoors just as much as Austin does — probably even more — and has always had some of the coolest hobbies. Growing up, he brought a sense of adventure to everything they did together.
Eddy
Groomsman
Eddy is soon to officially be Austin’s brother-in-law, though he’s felt like family for nearly 10 years. He got him hooked on board games and introduced a whole new level of friendly competition. Along the way, he’s shared their Hmong culture openly, making it meaningful and easy to appreciate.
Mungy
Groomsman
Mungy will soon officially be Austin’s brother-in-law, though it’s felt official for a long time now. They share the same nerdy interests and love of gaming, so hanging out has always come easy. He’s also been a great source of insight into the intricacies of their Hmong culture.
Quinn
Ring Bearer
Quinn is our son and is always ready for whatever adventure comes next. Whether it’s heading out on a camping trip or diving into his favorite game, he gives it his all. And no matter what he’s doing, he’s usually trying to crack a joke or pull a little trick on us along the way.
Aela
Flower Girl
Aela is our niece and easily the most energetic person in the room at any given moment. With what might be the largest collection of princess dresses imaginable, she brings nonstop energy and sparkle wherever she goes.
