Jae & Chrystina
Wedding Party
Andrew Cho
Best Man
Sexy, smart, funny, and cute at the same time. A rare breed one might say. God spent a little too much time on making this man, but it paid off. With a little bit of Korean American mixed into his blood, this Godly man is single and ready to mingle. Ladies if you want a man of this caliber you just need to pray because it ain’t going to happen. I’ve known this man since we went roofing in middle school where we bonded over our faith and shared testimonies. He has been my right-hand man since. Praise God for his salvation! Walking with me through the thick and thin I love this man. Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Crystal Pham
Matron of Honor
Crystal and I have been through a lot together... she's known me for my entire life and she's seen the best/worst parts of me. I always looked up to my sister growing up and I always wanted to be just like her. Now that we've grown up I realize that I am the complete opposite of her! Despite our differences I'm thankful that we are united through Christ. Thankful that God gave me a sister who is so hard working and faithful.
Gagan Gill
Best Man
Curry, Chicken tiki Masala, Naan bread, and many more. This Native American is my left-hand man. Growing with this man has been such a blessing. We’re so different and yet we are united through Christ and Christ alone. I thank God for putting a man like him into my life, and although we’ve had many ups and downs, he is truly my brother. I don’t think he would take a bullet for me, but that’s fine being that he is way too skinny so the bullet would probably miss and hit me instead. But in all seriousness, I love this brother in Christ. He's someone that will rebuke me, and tell it to me straight. Praise God for Gagan and our friendship over the years. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Jennifer Kim
Maid of Honor
This woman is a God sent friend. Jenn is such a precious friend to me who is just filled with so much joy. We first met our freshman year of college because we were floor mates. When I think back to that time all I can really remember are our awkward small talks in the bathroom. Anyways, fast forward to now and I can confidently say that she is one of my best friends who is constantly there for me, encouraging me and also just someone who I can share much laughter with. Thanks to her I learned more of what it means to be a friend that is caring, patient and loving.
Clay Dizon
Groomsman
I know what you're thinking. Isn't Clay just a type of fine-grained natural soil material containing clay minerals? Well yes, but this Clay is a person. But more than just a person, he is one of my best friends. I used to go over to his house almost every day in middle school, and funny thing was, he would never talk to me. He would be upstairs playing games, while I would be downstairs talking with his mom. But I couldn't make Maiette one of my groomsmen so I chose him. Clay is such a kind-hearted person. And he challenges me to love others more. We've been through so much together, and although we differ in many ways, he's someone that I can always count on whenever I am in need of anything. Isaiah 64:8 We are the Clay, and you are the potter; we are the work of your hand.
Geneva Lum
Bridesmaid
Oh boy, where do I even begin? From our early 5am gym hangouts to our late night study sessions, I have enjoyed every moment and memory that I got to share with this friend. Geneva is such a kind hearted and loving person who teaches and reminds me what it looks like to be joyful in the Lord. There is never a moment when I don't see a smile on her face and just a heart of thanksgiving for everything that she has. So thankful for this friend.
Joseph Li
Groomsman
Look at those dimples. Can this man even possibly exist in real life? And yet he does exist. His smile melts the hearts of both men and women but don’t get it confused ladies, he is straight like a nail. 6 ft tall and built like a tank. I can only hope to be like him one day. He’s a little awkward but that’s okay because he’s cute. Making over 6 figures a year, ladies he’s the complete package. Godly, smart, athletic, and laughs at the most simple things. So thankful for this brother and how we've grown so close in such a short amount of time. He always asks questions (sometimes a little too much) but that's because he really cares for others. Luke 10:27 Love the Lord with all your heart, soul, strength,mind, and love your neighbors as yourself. He's also a Tesla owner.
Heewon Kim
Bridesmaid
Heewon is a friend I never thought I'd have... literally... never thought I'd ever be friends with this woman. On a real note, Heewon is someone who truly has a desire to make God more and herself less. She has such a big heart for God's people that encourages me so much and is just a fiery woman for the Lord in general. We started to get closer when she became my roommate for the summer and during that time I think we were both praying for someone who could keep us accountable in prayer and memorizing scripture. I think it's safe to say that the Lord truly answered our prayers and put us in each others lives to walk alongside one another and I couldn't be more grateful. She is a friend who teaches me what it looks like to surrender everything to the Lord so that He can be glorified.
Ezra Lee
Groomsman
We knew from the moment that we met that we were meant for each other. Ezra invited me to his house to eat ice cream with him, and he was the first friend that I made in San Diego. And although you need to schedule months ahead to hang out he would always make time for me. Praise God for growing our relationship and allowing us to live together this year. It's been so encouraging and such a fun time. He's always challenging me to love better, and to seek the Lord above all things. Again it is our unity in Christ that brings us together and although we disagree I love him and I know he loves me. Thank you Lord for the book of Ezra and the Asian Ezra Romans 8:32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also along with him graciously give us all things?
Kara Lo
Bridesmaid
Kara and I met at Gospel Community Church the end of our freshman year of college. I thought she was this very shy girl but turns out she's very loud and goofy. She's one of those friends in your life that just makes you laugh over the littlest things. We laugh so obnoxiously together sometimes over something so small and that's something that I cherish about our friendship. Kara and I grew a lot closer when we lived together one summer and I was always so encouraged by her desire to know more of Christ. She's someone who I've seen really value and prioritize her alone time with the Lord. It's something I always admired about her. So thankful to have a friend like her in my life.
Matias Lin
Groomsman
From Argentina to San Diego. This man is not single, but just because there is a goalkeeper doesn’t mean you can’t score. He works at amazon, speaks four languages, and is just super cute. He also is a man of God and is super wise for his age. I trust this man with my life, and even though we’ve known eachother only for a little, we’ve grown so close because he is friendly and just so loving. I always knew he was my type, but this was made clear to me when I went to Seattle to visit this man during the summer. Waking up everyday and reading the word first thing in the morning, to the way he carries himself as a man of God, to the love that he shows to others. He really is the complete package. John 3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease
Nicolle Lo
Bridesmaid
Nicolle is a friend that everyone needs. One that can encourage you, build you up and listen to you for hours with a heart of truly wanting to be there for you. She is a ball of energy and her laughter is contagious. Im so thankful for all of the meals that we got to share together and for all the moments where we just got to figure out/ do life. Nicolle isn't someone I get to see often but she's a special friend to me in that even though we don't get much time together because of our busy lives I know that if I ever needed her she would be right there for me at any moment. She is a friend who teaches me how to be selfless and to be in prayer at all times.
Noah Meeks
Groomsman
Eh I don’t really know him, other than he lives with me. (Just Kidding) If I had one word to describe Noah it would have to be the word kind. He is a simple man. A man who only cooks quesadillas and loves Red Robin. He's always willing to listen to me, whether it is me complaining, or just talking about my day. Whether I am sad or happy. Even if he doesn't ask, "how are you" he always just listens. I'm so thankful for him and praise God for just allowing our relationship to prosper. There's a lot to learn about contentment and simplicity as you look at his life. Thanks Hebrews 10:24 And let us consider how to stir one another towards love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging on another, and all the more as you see the day drawing near.
Elisha Kim
Bridesmaid
Elisha and I met my freshman year of college and I distinctly remember the first interaction because we were both wearing green hoodies. Elisha is a friend who I can genuinely just laugh with and have fun with no matter what we do... even if that means we're both in bed on our phones. We became roommates my sophomore year of college and became closer through our late night talks and just being absolute goons together. Even though I moved away to San Diego and we were miles apart she continued to be there for me and has always been by my side whenever I needed a friend.
