Diana Kim
Matron of Honor
Mary Lou and Diana met through the downtown bible study at Trinity Baptist Church in 2016, and have been friends ever since! Early on, they bonded over trying different restaurant happy hours in New Haven. As their friendship has become long distance, they value catching up over weekly FaceTimes. Together, they enjoy traveling and planning a variety of fun trips - from exploring New England, to Disney World in Florida, a day in Italy, and much more in between.
Julianne Rolf
Bridesmaid
Mary Lou and Julianne met in undergrad while doing a summer research program at UC Berkeley in 2014.
