Maid of Honor
Loren has been by my side since literal birth. Growing up, we fought about everything you could possibly imagine but I like to believe we have always, and still do, appreciate having each other - our one and onlys.
Best Man
Dan and I first met when he started coming out to check out my bible study group when we were in college. I made my best effort to make him feel comfortable and welcome him into our group. He switched bible study groups right away. It's all good though. We're in the same one now...forever.

One day in Korean school when we were kids, Loren said, “Hey, let’s play together sometime.” I responded, “Okay, you should come over to my house next week.” Since then, our friendship has continued to grow so effortlessly and exponentially, yet also so genuinely.

Dan and I met in undergrad at Temple. We were known as the nomads of RCF because we were the only commuters. We’ve ate, studied, and alternated who would sleep on the nicer couch. I always won, since I was taller and couldn’t fit on the smaller couch. Thankful for his sacrificial love.
Bridesmaid
Not only is Loren my cousin but my built-in best friend since Day 1. We’ve been through all stages of adolescence together, from embarrassing choreography performances to high school prom, and everything in between. She has always been my rock and moral compass (lol), and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to be by my side through thick and thin.

I first laid eyes on that handsome face our freshman year of college. We didn’t talk often, but the few that we did were certainly a delight. I remember thinking to myself how well I’m going to get along with Dan because he was always straight forward and honest; I was most certainly correct. When people like to say how much energy I have and how much of a “party animal” I am, I always say, “Wait till you meet Dan.”

I remember being scared to start high school. Not knowing anyone is one thing; not being fluent in English is another. I knew Loren from church but we didn’t know each other well at the time. Later I found out we were going to the same high school, so we decided to take choir together. I couldn’t have been happier to be in the same class with someone who could understand me. I spent the entire semester saying all that I wanted to say and more than she ever probably wanted to hear. Since then, we’ve become lifelong friends.

Johnny and Dan met as freshmen in a cramped church van. They served together in college ministry all the way through their undergrad years. Through serving, shared meals and hangouts, they became good friends and brothers in Christ along the way!
Bridesmaid
I met Loren our freshman year of college. I honestly thought she was so cool from the start because of how pretty her long ombre hair was. We would always pass by each other on campus or near our apartments and always mention that we should meet up and grab food, but you know how that can go sometimes. We didn’t even have each other’s numbers! One day I saw her walking to class and literally said ‘yo give me your number’ and we exchanged numbers and met up for dinner and literally clicked from the start. We always had a battle who would pay for dinner but I think we did a good job taking turns. She is someone who I continue to seek for advice and can’t thank her enough for helping a sister out during hard times.

I got to meet Dan during my time in college. Although he was quiet at first, he slowly opened up and our friendship has grown ever since. I'm excited for his future endeavors and am honored to be a part of his wedding.

Julia and Loren sat next to each other at a choir dress rehearsal in Freshman Year of college and they started to meet for coffee every week afterward. Coffee dates turned into living together, and the rest is history <3

The Third Roommate. You were technically a commuter but you were also technically our roommate. We’ve had some outrageous and fun times together. It’s an honor to stand beside you.
