Christina & Phillip
Wedding Party
Ellie Hong
Bridesmaid
Ellie and I met in high school at Kent and we continued our journeys together at Johns Hopkins. It is safe to say that my formative years would not have been the same without her. She continues to be the source of light and laughter in my life...not to mention the best person to go on food adventures with! I am so honored to have her by my side on this special day!
Brian Gildea
Groomsman
Lawman, history buff, and grill master. Brian Gildea is many things and also one of my best friends. Brian and I met on the sixth floor of University of Maryland's Easton Hall. He's one of the first people that introduced himself (he asked if I wanted to go get food at the dining hall, I said no), and we've been close ever since.
Isabelle Vidro
Bridesmaid
Isabelle and I met in high school during Sophomore year and we quickly became the best of friends! We always have so much fun together whether we're eating delicious banana bread in the Kent Dining Hall to watching sea otters hold hands in Portugal. In addition to being so lucky for having her in my life, I am so so excited that will be by my side on the big day!
Ian Shepherd
Groomsman
I decided that Ian would be my friend before we actually met. I was looking through a Facebook group for incoming University of Maryland freshmen and saw that Ian grew up in the town next to mine. During one of the business school's orientation activities, I talked to Ian and we "organically" found out that we lived 15 minutes away from each other. Imagine that!
Sam Friedman
Bridesmaid
Sam and I met while studying abroad in London at LSE during our Junior year of college. We spent that year roaming the city with our girls drinking Pimms and eating everything in site. She is one of the kindest and most driven people I have ever met and I can't wait to spend this special day with her by our side!
Jason Summer
Groomsman
When I initially met Jason at Maryland, he had chinstrap-style facial hair and was on his way to becoming an architect. In spite of that, we grew together as friends while we were pledge brothers. After college, Jason helped to nurse me back to health in a foreign country after I crashed a mo-ped. Even though Jason has since moved to Colorado (where he is from, and he'd be happy to talk to you about it), I'm thankful that we've been able to stay close.
Sunrise Chiu
Bridesmaid
Sunrise and I have known each other since grade school. She has always been there for me whether it was walking around Monterey Park to get chili cheese fries and boba or when I was homesick in high school. She is someone I consider to be my sister and I am so honored to have her by my side on this special day!
Luke Zimmerman
Groomsman
Luke and I became acquainted during KPMG's associate new hire orientation. A couple months later, the engagement I was on needed another set of hands and I pulled Luke into the project. Luke and I spent about 10 weeks sitting three feet apart, having a ton of fun every day. I'm thankful that Luke and I grew from colleagues to friends and have been able to remain so even though we live across the country from each other.
