Hanbits & Joseph
Wedding Party
Cindy Choi
Maid of Honor
Cindy is Hanbits' life partner (sorry Joska). Hanbits and Cindy first met as pre-teens when they liked the same boy, but sisters are better than misters, so their friendship remained strong. After going through college together, Cindy learned how big Hanbits' heart is. Ask Cindy how big at a nearby Taco Bell after the wedding, where she'll be with Hanbits, living más
Matthew Lim
Best Man
Matt is not only a best friend to Joseph, but a brother as well. Joseph wasn't always the brother Matt dreamed of, but his contagious laugh and magnetic personality made it hard to separate. So much so that Joseph followed Matt through high school... and then college. And through those years their relationship deepened with shared memories of laughing, crying, anger, and joy. Now Joseph is coming back to Orlando. He says it's for a job, but they both know who he's coming for.
Klhee Bang
Bridesmaid
Klhee and Hanbits first met at the tender age of somewhere between 8-10 at Klhee’s house where Hanbits was forced to attend a dinner party thrown by Klhee’s family. Klhee said “let’s play cards” to which Hanbits replied “this is boring mom when can we go home”. That fateful meeting somehow led to a beautiful friendship that no distance can keep apart (shoutout to msn messenger, AIM, Oovoo, imsg, Kakao). Klhee is overjoyed to be celebrating one of her oldest/bestest friend's start a life with the love of her life and look forward to having dinner parties of their own.
Simon Park
Groomsman
Simon met Joseph in the beginning of college through random events here and there but weren’t really friends in the beginning...until Matt Lim left. Simon saw a confused, sad college student who didn’t know what to do when Matt left. When Simon noticed this, he decided to befriend him and become his second Matt Lim. After hanging out and spending every moment together, he found out that Joseph had a huge heart and loved coming in 2nd with whatever we were doing. From that point on, there was a brotherly bond that formed. After college, not only did this bromance continue to remain strong but still keeps growing until this day.
Eileen Kim
Bridesmaid
It's not certain when or exactly why Eileen and Hanbits became such gr8 friends... it must have been their love of Taco Bell and cat naps that drew them together. Regardless, their friendship has been full of laughter, tears, rolling around, slushees, and Crunchwrap supremes. It's been amazing to see how much Hanbits has grown as an individual and seeing the love she has for Joska. Eileen has been well prepared and waiting to stand by Hanbits' side for the big day! Joska best understand that a life with Hanbits also includes a life with Eileen.
Andrew Im
Groomsman
Joseph, was Andrew's student/apprentice throughout their relationship going way back to our middle schools days - present. Andrew taught Joseph everything he knows, especially basketball. In all honesty though, Joseph is one of the most goofy, funniest guys Andrew knows and he appreciates the laughter, great times that Joseph has brought into his life. Who would’ve thought that they’d cross paths, not him. But he is so grateful for everything they've been through and glad to call Joseph one of his brothers. Joseph deserves the best, Andrew.
Eunice Lee
Bridesmaid
Eunice first met Hanbits at a winter retreat during their senior year of high school. Hanbits was definitely too cool for Eunice but too bad for her because they were assigned to the same small group and forced to be friends with each other. Luckily for Eunice, they both were accepted to the same university where they spent 4 years together being young and dumb whilst getting their degree on the side. Many hours of rolling around in bed together somehow blossomed into a beautiful and enduring friendship that Eunice cherishes with all of her heart. Eunice has been waiting for the day that Hanbits walks down the aisle to a man who is worthy of her wonderful personality and big heart!
John Kim
Groomsman
John met Joseph on a Sunday when he first stepped foot in our country. When you grow up in church you hang out with the same kids every week. No one just comes into the circle. However, Joseph imposed his will fitting himself right in. He tried to say the words we said, laughed when we laughed, and even thought his name was Joska. They bonded right away because John would constantly beat Joseph in basketball 1 v1. Joseph has become a loyal friend that John has learned a lot from. John can’t wait for the Kims to come back home.
Kristine Fernando
Bridesmaid
Kristine was fortunate enough to meet Hanbits shortly after she graduated from UF in 2014. Hanbits’ parents moved to California, where Kristine and Hanbits met at a church they both attended. Their friendship was instantaneous; spending days getting boba, eating lots of yummies, going on LA adventures and exchanging pictures of boys they matched with on online dating apps. They continued to remain close throughout the years, leaning on each other during heartbreaks and hard times in life. Regardless of the busyness of life getting in the way from time to time, both Kristine And Hanbits continue to share each other’s joys and celebrations with one another! Kristine has had the pleasure of witnessing Hanbits and Joska’s love story unfold and cannot wait to celebrate their big day with them!
Kailey Back
Bridesmaid
Kailey is Hanbits long lost sister. Lost in Jupiter, Kailey came back to earth to realize Hanbits is everything she needs. Inseparable since 2018, sisters know they sisters. Kailey will dance crazy and suffocate Hanbits with no music just to show her how much she loves her. No music? No problem. Kailey will love her with conversations no one wants to hear. Oddly enough Hanbits is intrigued by Kailey’s conversations. This is how Kailey and Hanbits are 5ever 4lyfe.
Daniel Chang
Groomsman
When Joseph and Daniel first met, Joseph was the older brother in church who bullied daniel and made him get water when Joseph was thirsty. Daniel always did what Joseph asked (even when Joseph made fun of him), and for some peculiar reason Daniel loved to do anything to make Joseph like him. As they got older, their friendship deepened and matured into a loving brotherhood in which Daniel taught Joseph everything he knows now. Love you Joseph! BRATHA’s for life.
Kevin Lee
Bridesman
Kevin is secure enough in his sexuality to take upon the esteemed role of Bridesman. But more importantly, he loves Hanbits and would do anything to ensure her happiness. Kevin and Hanbits have gone to heck and back and will forever be pressing on. They're ride-or-dies, and they ain't dead yet.
John "Ilwoong" Kim
Groomsman
Joseph and John first met in college. They maintained a simple friendship, and that friendship grew into a brotherhood when they both ended up in the same small group. It was then when both would encourage and challenge each other. Joseph and John would continue to build upon their relationship through late night food runs and endless conversations. Despite being separated by adulthood, the two continue to maintain a strong relationship. This is proven by the fact that John is still an active member of the LOL chat group. As Joseph now enters the next chapter of his life, John is extremely happy for and proud of how much Joseph has overcome. He hopes Joseph can continue to lead him from afar, and to one day, reside in the same city.
Timothy Park
Bridesman
Timothy is Hanbits' younger brother. Timothy met Hanbits while going to church together back in college when she moved to California from Florida. Timothy and Hanbits had a deep connection that they shared due to losing a loved one and that's how they got so close. Now they laugh together, yell at the same people together, and also cry together. That's what family is, no?
Bryant Kim
Groomsman
Bryant met Joska in 2012 during college. As people usually are in the beginning, they were civil and polite to each other. Time passed and the two became more comfortable with each other — this is when their friendship evolved into a pattern of trash-talking and bickering. The turning point of their relationship was in 2016 when Joska somehow convinced Bryant to take a 3 hour bus ride from Chicago to Champaign, help him move out of his apartment, and drive his car 1,200 miles with him to Orlando. To this day, Bryant has no idea how he was convinced and why he was such a sucker back then but he does know that Joska and him had many good talks during that painful cross-country trek and that they had become friends for life. Today, they still bicker a lot but with Hanbits as the referee.
