Ha Ram & Beulah
Wedding Party
Gabriel Christopher Gonzaga
Best Man
Gabe! He is our best friend who has been there with us for all the time (after high school). We would say he is honest and genuine friend who you can trust and depend on. We trust him so much that he will be our children's godfather. He has been best companion (other than Beulah) in my life. I had many meaningful and deep talks with Gabe that he and I are beyond just friend. He cares and listen! Just for ladies out there, he is still single, and he is ready to mingle ;). Also he is really passionate man that he will never lose his interest in you!
Sarah Lee
Maid of Honor
Sarah! My #Roomie4Lyf. She was my roommate for 5 long years and I couldn't have asked for a better person to live with. From Beijing, to Grand Rapids, to a brief stint in Hungary, we've made a lot of memories together. Sarah is the life of not only the party but of anywhere she is. She's unexpectedly caring, deeply understanding, and always down for whatever. I would not be who I am today without her. Still ##roomies4lyf!
Eun Sung Kim
Groomsman
Eunsung! He has been my (kind of) Mentor. I always look up to him with his way of life style. He is very caring and giving guy. I learned few things from him to become a better person through conversations. He and I had life provoking talks about random things when I was rooming with him. He is also a clown which I think he is funny, but a lot of people don't see him as a funny guy.
Joy Vaz
Bridesmaid
Joyous lil' Joy! We met back in 2004 when we were neighbors and made a knocking code to talk between our two rooms. From being silly kids to being barely-adulting adults, we've had many good times and memories. Although she is distracted most of the time, Joy creatively makes every interaction with her into a memory. She's always looking for adventure. She's also the smartest person I know. She's probably going to be world dictator one day and finally solve all our problems. Just wait and see.
Ju Pyung Chung
Groomsman
Ju Pyung! or should I call him Jup ? JP? He is very sarcastic and funny when you get to know him. He always acts like he doesn't care but he secretly have nice heart towards you. I wonder if he is secret fairy of mine. If I would plan a party, I will definitely call him up with other groomsmen to have fun. Ju Pyung is an honest friend who I can ask for his honest opinion. He will make sure I will make right decisions or wise decisions!
Jinha Kim
Bridesmaid
Jinha! We were best friends during elementary school and miraculously ended up at the same college! Jinha taught me everything I know about flirting and looking like an acceptable woman in society. HAHA. But really though, she saved me during many college performances and events by doing my makeup and hair and picking out clothes. She's someone you can come to and talk deeply about everything from rants to questions of the future. We've personally had many good rants together. I miss you Jinha, move back to Michigan ;)
Bumm Kim
Groomsman
Bumm! Athletic man. Bumm is probably one of the buffest Asian man I met. We usually don't talk much because he doesn't talk much. He always gets up with my goldfish memory. Even though I annoy him much, we had fun memories together spending time and talking to him. He was definitely intimidating at first, but he was the kindest guy I met.
Jeremy Kruis
Bridesman
KUYA! If I ever boast about anyone it's my brother. He is the best human being I know and I'm sure everyone is in agreement on this fact. He is the kindest, most caring, funniest, most creative person I know. He made my childhood good, my college years good, and my adult life not good because he moved back to the Philippines. But thanks to him I call home more often and he still finds ways to take care of me from there. Anyways, this isn't an ad, sorry ladies and gentlemen, he's taken.
John Bak
Groomsman
John Bak! I always say his full name when I call him. He has been friend since high school. He had been my roommate for all 4 years of college. If I did not room with him, I don't know how I would have survived my college life. He taught me how to think deeply through conversations. Also sometimes his dating (?) philosophy is annoying, but he has been consistent with his views. John Bak is like a husband material. D:
Michael Hsu
Bridesman
Michael! He is the loyalest person I know. Ever since our awkward friendship began in junior year of high school he has not stopped annoying me. His favorite things are late night conversations over food, being on and behind the camera, traveling, and making new fraaands. He always wished that he could be New Guy like Jess on New Girl with me and Sarah, but sadly that time has passed. But I know that Michael will always have a presence in my life because he has wormed his way into being friends with the people that mean the most to me. And ladies, I think he's single? Idk? I think? It's complicated? Idk.
Yesong Choi
Honorary Mention
Our beloved friend Yesong Choi, who is also a groomsman, is currently serving the military in S. Korea. He can't make it to the wedding, but Beulah and I know that we are blessed to have him in our lives. He has been a good friend of mine and of Beulah. He is a charming man who can be chill all the time no matter who he is with. We will be happy to see him when he is done with the military!
Hayeong Kang
Bridesmaid
Hayeong! I've always wanted a little sister, and now I have two! And I'm so glad to have had that sister relationship with Hayeong while she was here the past four years. I've learned a lot from my conversations with Hayeong and I'm glad we can be so vulnerable to each other! And I'm glad you'll be here for at least two more years to make more memories together!
