Wedding Party
Greyson Stanton
Ring Bearer
"Little Grey" is the bride's second-cousin's son. He's a handsome little gentleman who's responsible for walking the couple's wedding bands down the aisle. He's great at throwing pebbles into streams, stomping in rain puddles, and rocking baby Yoda attire.
Scarlett Nguyen-Phan
Flower Girl
Miss sassy Scarlett is the bride's college friend's daughter. The bride has known this beautiful girl since she was born and cannot imagine a more special flower girl to walk down the aisle sprinkling flowers! She's a bigger foodie than her Aun-Thi and rides in a fabulous plaid Tesla. She's traveled to more countries than the bride and groom has combined!
Shawn Michael Ahern
Best Man
From Day 1, Shawn has been present in Chris and Thi's lives. Not only is Shawn Chris's older brother, Shawn is Chris's only sibling, so the bond has been special and close-knit from Chris's first day on earth. As they say, "I am my brother's keeper", and in this family -- Shawn and Chris are definitely each other's keeper as they grow up in life.
Eva Tran-Ahern
Prettiest Girl in the World
Eva is a husky-lab canine who came into the bride's life at 8 weeks old. She has been with the bride throughout college and her young adult life until her mommy met her papa, the groom. Eva now loves the groom more than the bride, somehow, and the bride is often jealous of that relationship! The couple has been together for 7 years, now, and Eva has been beside them every step of their relationship. To many more years with you, Eva!
Tito Tran-Ahern
Most Handsome Boy in the World
Tito is a rescue kitty who came into the couple's life around the 5th year mark of their relationship. He was sitting in an adoption cage at an old pet store the bride worked in and the couple was in the shop to pick up food for Eva. When the bride reached into the cage to say 'Hello', Tito (formally named Teddy) immediately hugged her fingers and she fell in love with him instantly. After a long moment of convincing, the groom caved and let the bride call the lady in charge of the rescue and start the paper work to adopt Tito. Because the relationship between the rescue lady and bride was close-knit, the bride was able to return to the shop the next day and take Tito home! He's been a loving, playful, and appreciative kitty.
Trang Tran
Matron of Honor
Being the bride's only sister sibling, Trang is still 16 years older than the bride! The bride is lucky in this aspect as not only is Trang a sister, but a bonus mom for Thi. These sisters have been inseparable since the bride's birth and hang out almost every week now since they live a city apart. There is no greater honor for the bride than to have her sister by her side as the Matron of Honor on the couple's wedding day.
Christopher Ryan Ahern
Groom
Chris was born in Northern Virginia and was a whopping 11 pounds! He has a natural affinity to sports and looked up to his dad as his coach for the majority of his younger athletic years. Til this day, Chris knows the basic rules to almost every major televised sport, especially football. Like his mom, Chris has an eye for interior design and dresses fashionably - casual or formal alike.
Truc-Thi Tran
Bride
Thi was born and raised in Northern Virginia. She was raised by her Vietnamese parents, three siblings, and has 4 wonderful nephews. She adopted her dog Eva in college and rescued Tito while living with Chris in Haymarket. Like her parents, she tends to be a workaholic, but also has a knack for cooking - Asian and American cuisine alike.
