Elliott & Candice
Wedding Party
Candice Poon
Groom
The bridesmaids and I will either wear Knicks away jerseys or heathered gray vnecks for the wedding. I will not be hearing opposing arguments to this
Elliott Joo
Bride
It takes a commune. This is my commune.
Oatmeal Raisin Pooj
A Good Boy
A big and lanky embodiment of stress and unconditionally obsessive love who will be there in spirit. Full of gas.
Francis Lin
Officiant
A rare born and raised Seattle specimen, Francis embodies what it means to be a part of the community, whether its through his teaching, or taking long strolls around Seattle and drinking Boon Boona coffee. He's the friend that everyone wants to have, and I am honored. You may see him as a serious faced, deep voiced, and handsome officiant + groomsman, but keep an eye out for him on the dance floor or in the bathroom stall!
Tiffany Lontoc
Bridesmaid
This whole wedding might come as a shock to many who assumed that Tiffany and I would be getting married. What can't this Johnson & Johnson award winning technologist do? Tiffany can match bar for bar singing Defying Gravity, win a Dougie off in any dance circle, and still have the energy to dominate the leaderboards in Peloton. Tiffany is the Britney to my astronaut and the elegant mountain on my canvas.
Jason Joo
Groomsman
The person that's seen it all, but also seen so little (for the better...?) at the same time over the decades. Two brothers, one with perfect grades, and one without (that's me!), with differing hobbies and personalities, one staying in SF forever, and the other bouncing around endlessly. Despite this, here we are together!
Selina Tedesco
Bridesmaid
Born and raised right on the border of New Jersey and New York, Selina is a New Yorker but culturally a non-gas pumping New Jerseyan. Between her two jobs strategizing and teaching university students, Selina could moonlight as a private investigator, podcast producer, and Eminem impersonator. I would be remiss to not mention how excited Selina will be to suggest wedding hashtags. She's kept a list since 2013
Peter Chu
Groomsman
A Torrance man through and through, Peter and I hit it off after realizing we (literally) see eye to eye. At a towering 5'5" (+/-1 inch?), Peter is truly full of life and love, and has been from the first day we've met. We actually share the exact same Korean last name character, so he's probably my brother from another great great great grandmother. Peter is one in a million, and I feel bad for those that don't have the pleasure to know him as I do. Be jealous.
Ines Roman
Bridesmaid
On a cold frigid day in Troy, NY, I summoned the courage to ask the remaining super super senior if she wanted to be friends. And likely out of desperation, Ines said yes! From visits to Portland and the eventual move to Seattle, Ferris Wheel terror rides, political pumpkin carvings, Dough Zone binges, and hiding from our demonic puppies, us 16th graders have done a lot post RPI!
Julie Talosig
Groomswoman
The most thoughtful, and the most full of thoughts person I know. She'll keep lactase in her cabinet at home, despite not being weak to it like me. She'll curate playlists to any genre you throw at her, and is probably more into your favorite show than you are. She can turn up just as well as she can turn down, and will always smirk at the dirtiest of jokes. She is a treasure. Ask her about Kit Kat c... nevermind!
Eva Chen
Bridesmaid
Eva Chen or Evan Cheb in the multiverse, can be a shy and nervous gorl to those she's unfamiliar with. But beneath the long lashes and gem nails from TEMU is the dream STEM baddie, Costco deal finder, dazzling pole artist, and the pal you can always count on for a snack or some electrolytes. Eva also is a master linguist, knowing how to say, "I have to poop" in multiple languages and dialects! Impressive!
Chris Dang
Groomsman
A true Montreal frenchman through and through, always down for adventures, whether they're big or small, intellectual or absolutely degenerate. One of the most humbly accomplished and well traveled people I know, just give him a drink or two and let him rant about something interesting. Ask him how to say things in French!
Jillian Kong
Bridesmaid
Jillian Sarah Kong Vemula | Calgary Kong | THE woman of Edge are just a few names that JS Kong will answer to. Jillian Sarah knows how to plan the most wonderful trip to Legoland Florida & California, will be your relentless tank in Pokemon Unite, and show you that it is possible to fall asleep while on the subway or playing Monopoly!
Jenny So
Groomswoman
A fellow serial hobbyist, jumping from one obsession to another with no end in sight. Is this the way to live? The answer is a resounding yes. Jenny will always have a good time with or without you, in her solo travels abroad, crocheting on the couch, dancing on her skates, trying to sell her foldable kayaks, probably still holding on to her wood burning supplies, or making one hundred babies on the Sims and planting bushes everywhere for her Sims to make sweet love and increase their numbers so that she can finally rest. But at the same time Jenny keeps hanging out with us, so we must be kinda fun too!
Shirley Ng
Bridesmaid
The Six's very own Shirley Ng / Winter Forrest is in a league of her own. Shirley's adoption of old Chinese grandmother traditions of drinking herbal teas, tepid water, and only eating fast food once a year has allowed her to grow to an astonishing 6 foot 5. Her body is a temple and a hospice for any unhealthy cell. Her power to manifest is second to none and will be your cool, calm, collected guide out of a building if she hears that the Bon Chon below has caught on fire.
Major Dr President Jeff Ng D.O
Groomsman
Jeff is the kid that your parents compares you to, the Canto version of the Korean astronaut, Jonny Kim. He's an airforce major, podiatric surgeon, BTO fraternity president, first chair clarinet, licensed physical trainer (I think), and a spy. But to me he is a big goofball, that's patient, sensitive, and cares about his friends and tries to do things right, but also tries to do too much. Since college, I've always thought he's a spy for the government, but at least he's our spy. Ask him how to say something Russian, or Japanese, or Cantonese, or Mandarin. See? Spy.
Madison Poon
Flower Girl
Believes Boo is the cutest internet doggy on the internet and is 110% correct
Kennedy Poon
Flower Girl
#1 Moana fan and can be reasoned with if you have a snack (Just like her aunt!)
