Denny & Lily
The Wedding Party
Mandy Lin
Maid of Honor
Mandy is Lily’s Maid of Honor. Mandy met Lily junior year at UC Davis when they shared the same apartment complex. At their first meeting, they instantly connected over “Hello Kitty” and all things girly and the rest was history. Mandy has known Lily for over 11 years now and their friendship has grown and blossomed through the journey of life. From trips to Forever 21 to trips to NYC, time flies when hanging out and exploring the world with your bestie. Mandy has been with Lily through the highs and lows, all the heartbreaks Lily has endured when she kissed the frogs so Mandy is so thrilled that Lily’s has found the real prince, Denny.
David Tran
Best Man
For those of you who don't know David, he's Denny's older and taller brother. David was there the day Denny was born, ready to welcome him into the family with a great big hug and smile. Since that day, they've shared many great memories, from their love for football and sharing a room together until David went off to college. David is super happy that his baby brother Denny met Lily and is excited about what their next adventure is. David is delighted to welcome Lily into the family. Watch out though- The competitive side comes out when the Tran brothers are drinking wine and playing Settlers of Catan.
Cheri Ng
Bridesmaid
Cheri and Lily met at UC Davis, where they both took communication classes. Lily welcomed Cheri into the Girly Girls group and ever since, they've bonded over their love for Disney, arts & crafts, and watching the same shows. Cheri would take a massage from Lily any day if Denny doesn't want it. One day, they plan on starting their own fancy picnic business with all of their event decor supplies.
Allen Chen
Groomsman
Allen and Denny met during freshman year in college. Since the days at Berkeley, they have bonded over Cal football games and getting into all sorts of silly antics. Allen is the primary mischief maker and Denny manages the aftermath (with the occasional reversal of roles).
Cynthia Lum
Bridesmaid
Knock! Knock! Who's There? Lettuce. Lettuce who? Lettuce in and you'll find out! And with Cynthia's knock on Lily's door in Davis, it was the start of their friendship. They clicked right away, became the girly girls, and pretty much hung out weekly, if not daily. After graduating, Lily and Cynthia lived a 10-minute walk away from each other. Though Lily doesn't usually answer her phone, she would always pick up when Cynthia called so that Lily could "walk Cynthia home" after a fun-filled night of fun and laughter. Besides her love for sleep, Lily is a great event planner where she threw multiple parties for friends and a really fun person to hang out with. Cynthia is beyond excited to stand beside Lily as she says I do and can't wait to witness her fun-filled future together with Denny.
Jomar Tadena
Groomsman
Jomar and Denny met at Cal. When they are not spending long nights playing mahjong, they'll hit the green to play some golf and eat some delicious food.
Susan Newswanger
Bridesmaid
Hi! I'm Susan, one of Lily's close friends for over a decade. We met at UC Davis in junior year and grew our friendship throughout our 20s with many date nights, late-night college talks, sleepovers, and Vegas trips! I remember the good times when it was just Lily and I attending an event or party as each other's +1s and had so much fun partying and dancing the whole night away. Susan and Lily invented Work From Home before everyone else did. We were unstoppable! Susan was there to help Lily swipe RIGHT and a match made in heaven happened! I am happy to say that Lily has found Denny, her new partner in crime! I wish you both the best and happiness for years to come!
Paul Urbano
Groomsman
Paul and Denny lived next door to each other during their 1st-year dorms and also in the same apartment building for the other years while they were at Berkeley. Paul always tried to keep up with Denny but he's always been super active ever since they'd met. Memorable events they've done have been the college parties and events, all the Cal football games, snowboard trips, and Thailand.
Ella Tadena
Flower Girl
Ella and Denny go wayyy back (she turns 6 in June). When she's not playing board games with Denny and Lily, she loves dancing, drawing, eating chocolate, and anything unicorn related.
Liam Tran
Ring Bearer
Aficionado of all things with wheels, you can find this four year old going full speed on his bike, talking about Monster Trucks, Superheroes, Transformers, and watching Paw Patrol. Liam loves eating noodles, making a mess with Playdoh and sand. Liam loves playing with his Uncle Denny and Auntie Lily!
Yipeng Li
Officiant
Yip is Denny’s brother-in-law. Shortly after Denny and Lily started dating, Denny invited his sister, Mary, and Yip to lunch one day to meet Lily. The only thing Yip remembers from that lunch is he was the only one that ordered pho because it was damn good. Yip and Mary can't wait for Denny and Lily to begin the next chapter of their lives together. Their 1-year old son, Aidan, can't wait to see the additional square footage in his house once Uncle Denny and Auntie Lily move their storage bins out. Fun fact: Yip also officiated Denny’s brother’s wedding. For those keeping scores, that means Yip will have married every child of Trung and Nguyet Tran.
