Wedding Party
Yeaeun Choi
Bestie of Honor
Yeaeun is Diana's best friend since the 6th grade! That means they've witness each other's growth through adolescence, identity formation, careers, and versions of each other that no one else remembers. No matter the distance (and Facebook recaps does a really good job of reminding us cringe long-distance interactions), Diana and Yeaeun has always re-synced their friendship like no time has passed. This kind of bond is neurologically and karmically wired, durable and everlasting.
Sophia Mai
Bridesmaid
Sophia is Diana's baby cousin, younger sister of menace cousin David. They grew up together, even living in the same house at one point! They have infinite childhood memories of travels to Iowa and have carried their close relationship into adulthood. What a privilege to see Sophia grow into an understanding, quietly confident, and unbothered queen. One snickerdoodle exchanged and Diana will happily indulge Sophia in whatever hyperfixation hobby she has to share next.
Kaela Bautista
Bridesmaid
Kaela is finally Diana's official cousin after ten years of knowing each other! (Thanks David, you are now more tolerable.) Their relationship over the last few years has newfound closeness through tennis, games, and concerts, even though one birthday, Diana unintentionally brought Kaela a pie with nuts, to which she is allergic to. Kaela is steadfast, tactful, loyal and also strong (unless when Diana is driving). Every Western New Year, Diana would rather celebrate Kaela's birthday because years matter more now that Kaela is in it!
Nina Doan
Bridesmaid
Nina is Diana's even baby-er little cousin, except as adults, Nina is literally someone's occupational therapist. Nina used to carry Diana in games despite having a janky PC, is our one and only arts and crafts queen, and lowkey shares the 'eldest-daughter-immigrant-family' persona with Diana. Nina has grown into an even more compassionate, hardworking, resilient individual. Now with GIRLS' DAYEE bringing us closer together, Diana can't imagine a wedding without Nina being a part of it.
Kimberly Nguyen
Bridesmaid
Kim's one of the most hardworking, thoughtful, down-for-anything friend Diana has! This is evident many times over whether it be through her up-and-coming career as master pastry chef or through her relationship with her family. Together they have traveled to Hawaii, Korea, Vietnam, Missouri, multiple Vegas trips and for sure many more to come. Diana and Kim share the love of claw machines, Singles inferno, their coincidentally 10 year younger siblings who were in the same class, and bullying their friend Andrew.
Celine Noh
Bridesmaid
Celine and Diana must be karmically tied because isn't it kind of crazy to meet someone online playing games, befriend them enough where they then meet you in Vegas, then they move across states to the same city, and then they travel across oceans together? Yeah, that's actually what happened, and we also went with Kimberly. But even if they stop playing games, and Celine moves away, Diana will always hold Celine fondly in her heart for being such an earnest, good-hearted, and emotionally safe friend (though Celine may say otherwise because one time Diana accidentally doxxed her, oops sorry). But that's okay! The party is better with Celine in it!

Jimmy's best friend since high school, he has spent every day in prison.
Andrew Vu

Minion Lover. Shrek Appreciator. Certified Diana Hater.
Danny Vo
Groomsman
MapleStory connoisseur. Fellow enjoyer of playing cute game characters only.
David Mai
Groomsman
David is finally Jimmy's official cousin after ten+ years of knowing each other! (Thanks, Diana, for introducing us.) Their relationship over the last few years has newfound closeness through tennis, games, and fat-chud meals. David is steadfast, tactful, loyal, and also strong (unless when Diana is driving). Every April, Jimmy would rather celebrate David's birthday because... there's nothing else happening around that date!
Steven Ho
Groomsman
Jimmy's cousin since birth. It's true. Lil' band nerd that's grown up before Jimmy's eyes.
