Pangchia Yang
Bridesmaid
My name is Pangchia and I am wife to a wonderful husband, Nepin and mommy to a smart 7 years old son, Nexus. Mary and I met in high school freshman year in House 41B. We got really close during sophomore year during Upward Bound and later on learned that we were related. The best part of our friendship is that we can be miles away from one another and still pick up right were we left off. It is rare that you have someone that you deeply connect with and I am happy to say that I have found that in Mary. Her creativity, her heart, her nurturing spirit, her beauty both inside and out makes her the total package. She is my forever friend. We have stood by each other through many life events and I can’t wait to stand with her on another major life event, her wedding day.
Fong Vang
GroomsKnight
My name is Fong Vang, a long time friend of Harry Vue. A little about myself, my wife, Janiey, and I are parents to a beautiful baby girl, River. I work in the service. A hobby of mine is growing plants. I first met Harry in Colorado. He was initially a friend of my brothers and a gamer then, but we became friends. In our younger years we hung out a lot, got to know each other well and became like brothers. Those early days were great times, we partied, drink and went out together quite often. I like Harry for he has a good heart and cares about others. As the years passed we grew and matured, he remains a dear friend of mine. I am so happy for Harry, he has finally found his wife and is able to share his journey through life with someone he loves.
Duzong Yang
Bridesmaid
Duzong met Mary at college in the Fall of 2007, and haven't stopped hanging out since then. Over the course of 10 years, it has blossomed into an amazing friendship full of support, laughter and inspiration and shall continue for many more years. There are too many favorite memories with Mary, but the ones that are most memorable include dancing with Mary to the The Peacock Princess soundtrack for the cultural show, pageant adventures, and all those failed attempts at completing the INSANITY workout program.

I grew up in Denver where I met Harry through Lisa, my wife. Harry and I were roommates for 2 years and been friends ever since. I think he is stalking me because after I moved to Minnesota, he moved to Minnesota. I married a Xiong Girl and then he is marrying a Xiong Girl. 🙂 I look forward to being friends with Harry and Mary until we grow old.

Maicha Vang
Bridesmaid
My name is Mai Cha. I am a free spirit who loves watching anime and reading manga. There are not enough words to describe my appreciation for Mary’s friendship throughout the past 10 years. It is inspiring to see Mary blossomed from a quiet high schooler to a proud woman who does not shy away from confrontations and speaks up for her rights. A character trait that stands true against time is her stability in supporting her friends. Mary showed me time and time again what a true friend is. I am beyond happy to see Mary's big day coming up and am excited to be a part of it.
