Christine & Jonathan
Wedding Party
Seenae
Matron of Honor
Don't let the role confuse you... there is NOTHING matronly about the older sister of the bride! She is the most amazing person that Christine knows. She is the most intelligent, caring, fierce, and BEST sister anyone could ask for. Others may say that they have the best sister, but they are mistaken. Also, Christine is convinced that if she and Seenae were to compete in The Amazing Race, they would definitely win it all.
Serina
Maid of Honor
Serina and Christine have known each other for basically their entire lives... and have been best friends since high school. Their mutual awkwardness and love of pandas and Totoro solidified their friendship very quickly. Weirdly, they somehow choose the same shade of hair color as well without ever consulting each other first.
Kristin
Bridesmaid
Kristin and Christine have known each since they were wee ones in Korean school. Kristin remembers Christine's love for JTT. Kristin and Christine have traveled together and share a love of eating and having as much fun as possible! Christine is always in awe of Kristin's ability to make anything sound sweet and nice.
Marina
Bridesmaid
Marina and Christine were resident advisors together at UC Davis when Christine was a junior and Marina was a sophomore... and then it was game over. Being on staff together made for some ridiculously fun days, nights... everything really! Marina is her Spanish speaking, Mario party playing, delicious brunch eating partner in crime.
Matt
Best Man
"I have known Jonathan for 21 years. Meeting in 8th grade math, we quickly became friends that next summer. Along with Ethan, the three of us were great friends throughout school, building memories only found in a small town. Unlike most school friendships that fade, Jonathan and I were able to remain close in spite (or maybe because of) the physical distance between us. Through the emotional growth of college and first jobs our friendship grew to a level equal to brothers. Living close by again since 2009 has kept our friendship strong and gave me front row seats to see his beautiful relationship with Christine begin, blosom, and flourish. I'm honored to be part of Jon's life. He does not let everyone into his inner circle, but once he does you'll find no one more loyal and giving."
Ethan
Best Man
Jonathan and Ethan were fatefully introduced on the first day of middle school when they just so happened to sit down next to each other in their "Skills for Adolescents" class. The ingredients for a lifelong camaraderie quickly evolved out of countless get-togethers, sleep overs, game nights, trips to the lake, and other shenanigans you would generally expect from middle and high school aged boys. As their communities naturally merged, a unique brotherhood was formed, which included Matt. These three amigos continue to share a special friend connection years later, seeing each other through many pivotal life events along the way.

"I met Jon for the first time freshman year at the University of the Pacific. We started off as roommates, and little did I know that I would be making a lifelong friend, one of my best friends. Anyone who knows Jon would tell you that he's a good natured guy with a really great personality and energy. He's also intelligent, down-to-earth and has possesses a very witty sense of humor (quite often sarcastic lol). He is someone that inspires me in many ways to be a better person. Jon and I have been on many adventures. Some great memories include: hanging out at Lake Folsom, road trip to Portland, and hanging out in L.A. It's been a great journey bro, and an honor, definitely excited for more good times in the future as well!"
