Jeehyun & Gerardo
Wedding Party
Sarah Atkinson
Bridesmaid
Sarah and I met freshman year of high school in Orchestra, and through a mutual love of volunteering ourselves for more than we should, spent most of our free moments throwing ourselves into Orchestra activities. Sarah introduced me to my first movie marathon, making us celebrate her birthday by watching 13 hours of Lord of the Rings while she fed us endless amounts of snacks (#CrescentSquares), and my first (of MANY) midnight releases of Harry Potter movies/books. we continued these traditions of over-volunteering for Orchestra events (starring and directing in MDT) and movie releases and marathons as roommates in college. I would never have been able to survive college without Sarah two steps away, and I still continue to feel that love and support even living states away.
Ellen Hayes
Bridesmaid
I met Ellen freshmen year of high school, and since then we have spent endless amounts of hours talking about everything and nothing at all hours of the day and night. Ellen was always willing to just drive around town with me (back when gas was cheap), go on random adventures, and play (very silly) pranks on people. This sense of adventure continued through college, when I visited Ellen during her freshman year in college for ACL, and we wandered around Westlake Hills, lost, for hours, and again during her first year in grad school, when I gave her a couple weeks of living in Seattle before I showed up and demanded to be shown around. My friendship with Ellen always reminds me that not everything needs to be planned, and if we are open to adventures we usually have a lot of fun.
Sergio Segura
Groomsman
This is my brother. I've known him for 39 years. We have lived together more than half of our lives, shared a room growing up, shared an apartment for years and then bought a house together. We grew up always playing and competing. Always shared a love of sports and always being each others biggest fan. Where I have always been a huggy type person Keko has not. There is nothing I love more than annoying him by giving him a big hug and kiss on the cheek. He was always the more extroverted sibling. He was always more outgoing and always getting me to go out and be more social than I ever wanted to be. I will always be grateful how he has challenged me to try to get out of my comfort zone and be a bit more adventurous.
Sonia Segura
Groomswoman
This is my sister. I've known her for 37 years. Growing up I was a typical big brother doting on my baby sister and always giving her what she wanted. Me and my brother would always try to include her in our games but as we grew older we weren't as close as we could have been. As we grew older and both were in our twenties we started to grow a close bond. We hung out constantly. Always going to concerts and music festivals together. Staying up all night watching Buffy or Avatar marathons. We were confused for boyfriend and girlfriend much more than we liked. I can't go too many days without calling her and bugging her for no reason. I know that if we are apart for long we will always pick up like we haven't missed a beat.
