Becky & James
Wedding Party
Bianca Fung
Maid of Honor
Bianca is Becky’s younger sister and her unofficial cookie critic, taste tester, and occasional baking victim whenever she gets swept up in one of her cookie-baking frenzies. Bianca won't hurt you physically but will do some damage through her critiques. With her big heart and love for animals, she frequently enjoys pet-sitting Becky’s dog, Oreo, and Darlene’s cats, Maple and Maru.
Darlene Fung
Maid of Honor
Who does Becky bribe when she wants to try a new restaurant/cafe but doesn’t want to road rage in LA traffic? Darlene. She is Becky’s youngest sister, boba connoisseur, and drug dealer (jk she’s just a pharmacist, lame). Darlene is also a world traveler and Becky lives vicariously through her snapchats while she's living her best life.
Katherine Fang
Bridesmaid
Don't let James know but Katherine has been known as Becky's soulmate! Possessing the same humor and passion for travel, they've gone on food adventures together since their high school years and have become travel buddies as adults - from leaf peeping in Vermont to fulfilling their boba dreams in Taiwan, and many more to come! Fun (or scary) fact: she watches horror movies with a blank expression.
Laura Dam
Bridesmaid
Beep beep! Laura is Becky's unpaid chauffeur around town for their shenanigans (mostly boba runs). They spam each other daily with memes that neither party can ever catch up on, and gossip about the latest celebrity drama. Also, if you need someone to be your enabler to buy that expensive bag on your wishlist, she's the person to hype you up.
Jennifer Liang
Bridesmaid
Having met in elementary school, Jennifer is one of Becky's oldest friends. They lived one block apart from each other for most of their childhoods, and attended the same schools up until college. Without Jennifer, there might be no Becky and James—she was the one who introduced Becky to the Coffee Meets Bagel app, where she herself also met the love of her life!
Ted Curtiss
Best Man
Boiler Up, Hammer Down.....the best man is none other Purdue Alumni Class of 2017 Ted Curtiss. Together Ted and James have brainstormed countless one-line zingers, comedy bits, and, catchphrases throughout the years. They first met as freshman at Wiley Residence Hall. Ted and James share great intellectual conversations daily on a plethora of topics. They always have a great time with each other, whether it be at the dining court at Wiley, "shredding the 'gnar gnar'" (i.e. skiing) the slopes of Colorado, during a mid-distance swim sess, or while traveling through Europe.
Kristian Almberg
Groomsman
Probably the whitest guy at this wedding, but we absolutely love him. Kristian and James met way back in the day of club swimming. They quickly bonded over theirs shenanigans during swim practice. Together they have successfully stolen the Statue of Liberty (...the small one from Las Vegas), but still desire to one day steal the moon. He brings a kindness and compassion that James is lucky enough to have in a friend. Kristian is known to bring that massive party energy... he also has a taste for finer things in life.
Alex Trompke
Officiant/Groomsman
"Hi I’m Alex, please feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn". Alex is James' oldest friend since the days of summer league swimming. No one is more dependable than him. Alex and James have been through thick and thin, through the serious and the silly.....you name it. They once thought themselves to be the world's greatest hikers upon hiking down the Grand Canyon in 120-degree weather, but was swiftly humbled the moment they had to hike back up. The social butterfly of the group, Alex's hospitality is unmatched, bar none. Alex also spearheaded the event of the Wolfpack getting matching tattoos.
Tanner Schelling
Groomsman
Don't be fooled by the flowers, Tanner is easily the strongest dude at the wedding. James and Tanner first met during high school swim and was James' first friend at Centennial High School. From sharing their love of chasing the pump in the weight room to being in the same book club, Tanner is what you would call the modern-day Renaissance man. Back in high school, Tanner helped James reach one of his lifelong goals of a one rep max bench with two plates on each side, but these days they're enjoying sporadic boyz trips, whether it be on a boat out in the open seas or at the casinos.
Josh Brooks
Groomsman
James and Josh, collectively known as "J Squared", first met as freshman at Purdue University. Being both swimmers and students aspiring to get a degree in electrical engineering, it was a winning recipe for a friendship. They also share a fondness of eating large amounts of food in one sitting; this was best highlighted one day after practice in Florida where they both downed an entire dozen of Krispy Kreme original glazed doughnuts, EACH. Back in college, they both decided that they would hyperfixate in the caffeinated world of coffee......so perhaps this was the catalyst of James using Coffee Meets Bagel to finally meet Becky.
