Chie & Jonathan
Wedding Party
Sarah Anazawa
Maid of Honor
Chie and Sarah go waaaaay back since birth. (no, seriously) Often mistaken for sisters, Sarah is Chie's best friend who has been there for her through it all, including a road trip from TX to LA. From going to each other's birthday parties growing up, to countless Vegas trips where Sarah once broke Chie's heels, Sarah is Chie's most trusted confidant and partner in crime. Always on the same wave length, if Sarah and Chie's eyes meet across the room, they know exactly what the other one is thinking!
Davis Yu
Best Man
Davis and Jonathan have known each other since middle school but ironically, they hated each other for most of the 6th grade. It wasn’t until Jonathan sold Davis some stationery he got from his latest trip to Taiwan did they become friends (remember when lead pencils were a thing?). From stuffing their faces at HomeTown Buffet to spontaneous club adventures (back when they were both single), the two shared countless memories together. 20 years later, Davis is one of Jonathan’s most trusted friends, always reliable and is a self-proclaimed “blood brother”.
Tiffany Vu
Bridesmaid
Chie met Tiff during her first year of college, where they both dormed in Whispering Wood. (Yes, that was the name of our dorm.) They got to know each other even better after Tiff joined the same sorority as Chie and they became roommates during their 2nd year of college. Over the course of the past 14 years, Tiff is one of Chie's most supportive and caring friends. Tiff and Chie can go from deep life talks to singing Gryffin songs out loud in a matter of minutes (even at the club). Also nicknamed "Shot Fairy", Tiff is the life of the party. As long as Tiff is there, it's a guaranteed good time!
Omar Kader
Best Man
Omar and Jonathan met during their first year in college when Jonathan needed notes for a class he never attended but thankfully for him, Omar did and was great at taking notes. Over their college years Jonathan was often Omar’s biggest (and only) fan at his DJ events. The two of them lived together, partied together, traveled together and almost got arrested together – but that’s a story for a different time and you can ask Davis about it. Today, Omar is a big time DJ and has a lot more fans now but is someone Jonathan can count on to show up even if he’s almost always late.
Helen Park
Bridesmaid
Helen is one of Chie's first friends in college, after joining the same sorority freshman year. Coincidentally, the first picture Helen and Chie took together was when Helen was dressed as Batwoman and Chie as Superwoman! Helen is the best storyteller who recaps "last night" with hilarious details and (very) accurate sound effects. On top of being funny, Helen is kind and driven, someone who accomplishes everything she puts her mind to. When Chie is hungry, she can always count on Helen to join her on any food adventure!
Justin Nichols
Groomsman
Justin and Jonathan grew up minutes away in Diamond Bar, went to the same middle and high schools, shared classes AND were on each other’s AIM buddy lists but never actually spoke to one another…until one fateful day when Justin stopped by Albertsons for sponges and happened to ask a confused Jonathan who just started his first day at Albertsons. Over the years, the two of them became close friends and have always been on the same wavelength about life. Justin is one of Jonathan’s most supportive friends and can always be counted on for advice about life, mindfulness and growth.
Barbara Ly
Bridesmaid
Barbs and Chie met during their third year of college when Barbs joined the same sorority. Both April babies, they have held countless birthday bashes together over the years. Barbs and Chie ran the 2015 San Francisco Nike Half Marathon together. Arguably one of the hardest physical activities Chie has ever done, running side by side with Barbs and crossing the finish line together is a memory Chie will never forget. Always cool, calm and collected, Barbs is one of Chie's most reliable friends who always gives the best advice!
Brandon Ma
Groomsman
Brandon and Jonathan first met at the club when they shared a table with some friends. From there, it was only inevitable - I mean don’t all healthy relationships start at the club? After all, that’s how Chie and Jonathan met. Over the years, Brandon and Jonathan formed a friendship and love talking investments and finance with each other like a couple of nerds. Brandon is known for his easygoing personality and is always down for a good time, which is probably why he’s able to get Jonathan to come out whenever he’s in town.
