Haju & Kongcheng
Wedding Party
Jung Sun Kim
Mother of the Bride
She is brave, independent, intelligent, talented, and the most godly woman in Haju's life. She is kind and has a huge heart for people. She taught Haju the Lord's Prayer, tons of hymns, how to take care of others, and the beauty of poetry. And most importantly, she taught Haju how to live before God through her own life. People thinks her as Haju's older sister. (as you can see why) Kongcheng sometimes claims her as his mom and that is how the war starts all the time. And Haju wins every time.
Megan Yang
Mother of the Groom
She is energetic. She has come a long way in life to be where she is--thanks be to God. Her life embodies God's saving grace and miracle. Though there are a lot of hardships that have come her way, she always got back up. She's a prayer warrior and loves to help people.
Choung Hwan Kim
Father of the Bride
He loves God and the Church. He taught Haju how to go to library, check out books, ride a bike, and be polite to people around her. He's always on fire to have theological conversation with you. (only in Korean) He's dream is to build a small and cozy library to open to the neighbors.
Cha Ger Yang
Father of the Groom
This is the man in which God has blessed throughout his life. His life is also a miracle from God. He is a learner that has tenacity. His love to learn continuously makes him wiser and experienced. He loves to joke and giggle--and you can be sure that his Dad jokes are so bland that it'll just push you to also laugh along.
Nicole Romero
Maid of Honor
Warm-hearted sweet human being. She is Haju's best friend! She loves tea, tea, and tea! Oh and otters too. She has a huge passion for God and people those around her. She is such an intelligent women who love God's gift of diversity. She has a cute boyfriend and they are the cutest together.
Seob Kim
Best Man
This guy has been with us since day one. Not once did we ever have a dull moment with this amazing man. He seeks to find interest in others above himself, and he is very comfortable to be around with. However, don't mess with him when it comes to theology--he might just humble you.
Sarah Parler
Bridesmaid
She is Haju's American mom who actually cares for her as family. She always got Haju and Kongcheng's back whenever they go through hardships. She is such a wise and godly woman who has overflowing love for others. She love the British Baking Show. Her smile will melt your heart. She also is an awesome mom to her five (soon to be six) children and a loving wife to Branson.
Eric Schalk
Groomsman
He's the one to love you... with teases and harshness. What a man. His love to his interns goes like this--"I can fire you." In all seriousness, Eric is A-W-E-to-the-SOME! He is one of the coolest pastor we have ever met.
Sarah Fredricks
Bridesmaid
She is such a delightful soul. Haju loves Sarah dearly even though they cannot hangout often. Their humor code fits like gloves that Haju always end up crying and gets sweaty by the time they go home. She loves people, culture, and traveling. Sarah is one of the most precious friends of Haju who points her to Jesus.
Kongmeng Yang
Groomsman
Known as KM. He's also Bro Bro. He cool! He cool! But watch out for his contagious funniness. He'll just make you laugh whether you want to or not.
Rev. Branson Parler
Officiant
He is Haju's American dad who is also her professor at Kuyper. He is well known as one of the harshest grader at Kuyper, BUT that is only when you BS through your school work. He sees his students with love and fair mind. He loves theology and philosophy but he is not one of those boring smarty pants. He is funny and so down to earth. He loves his family. Sarah P. and Branson are married and they are one of the cutest couple we have ever seen. He loves hard/intriguing books and interesting theological & philosophical conversations. He also has a huge passion for football and comedies.
Eliana Parler
Flower Girl
She is the cutest bookworm we have ever seen. She absolutely love reading. Her worst nightmare is being banned to read books. She chats like a little bird that follows around you. She loves her family so much. She is loving her school this year too. She loves God so so much. She is such an energetic goofy angel who loves making jokes. If you want to be her friend, laugh at her jokes with her!
Ruby Parler
Flower Girl
She is such a creative pumpkin. She loves dancing and showing people her performance. She also loves to write and draw. She gives people the cutest little notes which warm their heart. She is a unicorn lover too. She appreciates alone time because she needs time to be more creative!! She is a little human but her heart for God is not so little.
Marigold Parler
Flower Girl
She is such a cutie pie. Her little arms will give you the best hug ever (if you can get to that level first). She can be sassy but she is such a funny little goofball. Currently, she is having Elsa/Anna fever. If you can sing 'Let It Go' well and wearing the Elsa dress, she will be your BFF.
Christian Parler
Ring Bearer
This little guy loves to wrestle. He also loves to play and hangout. But watch out! Though he's shy at first, he'll love you outgoing-ly once he's comfortable around you. He loves Spiderman and Legos. Though his spirit animal is a cat, he can be a best snuggle buddy when he thinks you are his friend. When you see him, you will love his shy and slight smile that he tries to cover away from you.
Elisabeth Carrel
Honor Attendant
When Haju first met Elisabeth, she was holding a huge bag of Skittles snacking them. The next time Haju saw her was at her tutoring session. Elisabeth has helped Haju through freshman survival. They became good friends as they found out how much they feel connected to each other. She is the most sweet and kind soul you could find around you. She is intelligent, thorough, funny, humble, and lovable. She is going to be a mom this February 2020!
Eli Vang
MC
This guy has been with Haju and Kongcheng through the good, bad, and the ugly. He never holds his love back and always makes sure that the one he loves knows that they are love. He has been such a faithful and encouraging friend to Haju and Kongcheng. He is sassy but kind. He loves to bake and cook. He bakes the best brownies ever. He is so gifted with words that he can write a beautiful poem and letter to you. You might even cry. p.s. according to Haju, he is one of the most dramatic person she has ever met. Of course Eli does not agree with Haju.
Christianna Ransom
MC
Her giggles are contagious. When Haju and her hangs out, they always end up crying and get sweaty because of their excessive laughter. She has such a tender heart who knows how to appreciate little things. She loves different cultures and different cultural food. Her love language is sharing her playlist. If she does, then it means she loves you. She loves dancing, hanging out with friends, and traveling. If you need any fashion related advice, she is the person to go to! She is incredibly fashionable.
Vince & Mika
Photographers
These people are one of the MOST hospitable people we have ever known. Vince is such a funny and goofy person. He LOVES to tease Kongcheng since he usually believes most of what Vince says. Vince is a fantastic cook who always invites people for meals. Mika is a sweet sweet person. She knows how to make others smile with her. She is very kind and warm. Her heart-warming soul will make you feel cozy. They have helped Haju and Kongcheng so many times out of hard times and have stayed with them. H&K have learned Christ-like love from them through and through. They have been taking the engagement pictures, and the work has been such a masterpiece!! If you see them, please tell them how much of an AMAZING job they have done. They truly make the magic happen ;)
