Wedding Party
Ayianna Hopkins
Maid of Honor
Ayianna and Grace met through their boyfriends (Chan & Danny) who happened to be roommates during college. Ayianna and Grace saw a lot of each other at the shared home, and spent quality time getting food, and talking about life. After opening up to each other, forget the boys!!!! It was all about the girls and their friendship. Ayianna is a friend that Grace can lean on. Their low maintenance (but important) friendship means the world to Grace. Ayianna is someone that came into Grace’s life by chance, but that chance became a new path to a life long friendship.
Niko Huynh
Man of Honor
Niko & Grace were inseparable since the day they met (no literally, they had to work together almost every day). Niko was the first “adult” friend that Grace made in her early 20’s. Niko has guided Grace in her toughest times, gave her the confidence to be her own person, and gave unforgettable advice that Grace lives by to this day. Niko has been the person that Grace can come to for anything without judgement, and has been a safe place for Grace since the day they met. Being best friends was a given, but being family was a choice.
Olivia Park
Bridesmaid
Although Grace never wanted a younger sister, her parents gave her the gift she never thought she needed. Olivia is mature, strong, motivated and determined; and she inspires Grace every day. Having a 7 year gap never stopped them from having fun and being best of friends. Their two very different personalities work well together, giving each other different outlooks on life. Grace is thankful to have a sister like Olivia, and their bond is unbreakable.
Julie Do
Bridesmaid
Julie & Grace met through Niko, and instantly bonded over their love for food and yapping. Julie has been the older sister that Grace has never had; being the person thats real and true to her. Julie has welcomed Grace in her home (whether Niko was there or not😉) and lets her eat all her food😏 Julie has seen Grace in her good and bad times and chose to stay by her side no matter what. Grace finds herself saying “I’ll do it if you do it” when she’s with Julie. Julie has shown Grace what true friendships looks and feels like.
Jain Jung
Bridesmaid
Jain is one of the first that Grace formed a bond with while she started her flight attendant job. Jain and Grace were bonded through being roommates all throughout their career in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Their similar and yet very different personalities matched well, and they found themselves aligning their schedules to work together. Grace is grateful for the way Jain is caring and sensitive towards those she cares for. The countless red eye flights, hawaii trips, and the middle-of-nowhere trips have become memories for them to look back on. Grace hopes to retire with Jain someday, after having all the adventures they can. Grace cannot imagine loving her job as much as she does without Jain.
