Dung Phan

Matron of Honor

Jennifer and Dung have been friends since high school and have ever since been the best buddies even after going to different colleges in different cities. They experienced driver’s ed together, shared ALL the secrets, and have been there for each other through the best of time and also the toughest of time.

Robert Valdez

Best Man

Robert and Evan met in 1994 and have been through a lot… of bottles. The 1st at a friend’s house in middle school, a few more when a friend got a fake ID in high school, tons from the state approved liquor stores while roommates in college, and maybe one or more times as adults. It was while in proper form that Evan shared the news that he was dating Rob’s cousin, Jen and that their friendship from the beginning was all a ploy to allow Evan to get close to her. Of course, Rob already knew from the start and wanted Jen to be with someone as devoted, smart, and universally loved as Evan. Rob’s grand vision of getting his best friend to marry his cousin is nearly complete and he is beyond excited and honored to be a part of this journey and officially be family.

Elizabeth McDaniel

Bridesmaid

Elizabeth and Jennifer met in grade school and have been friends ever since. Fun fact: She was part of Jen’s dance crew that performed a “perfectly” choreographed dance to N’SYNC and Destiny’s Child songs at her debut. Let’s hope that video no longer exists! Elizabeth is delighted to stand next to her friend again as she says, I do.

Brent Hanada

Groomsman

Brent is a first cousin to Evan. They would go fishing together in the summer for bass and salmon. Hasn’t fished as much as him, (Evan isn’t a seasoned fisher like Brent) but luck has a way of working itself to granting them fish on the boat most of the time. They both share the love for Jaegermeister. Brent is considered the youngin growing up but continues to learn from Evan.

Jessica Young

Bridesmaid

Jen and Jess met in high school and became closer despite attending rival colleges (Go Dawgs!). They have had some fun memories over the years and have watched one another grow. Jess is definitely honored to be part of Jen and Evan’s special day and wishes them both a lifetime of adventure and love!

Kyle Hanada

Groomsman

Evan and Kyle have been close friends/cousins since the very beginning of life on this earth. They also have a lot of common interests such as sports, family gatherings, going out to clubs in the early days lol, and the main thing they have in common is the passion for fishing! They would try to fish whenever they had free time and were fishing partners! But Kyle recently became a fishing guide captain and has not been able to go out with him as much as he could want to. They also were in boy scouts together and would go out camping and talk about life. Glad we finally got Evan down the aisle! Congrats!

Nichole Gonzalez

Bridesmaid

Nichole and Jennifer met during college at WSU and became roommates their senior year. Many great memories were made during our final year in Pullman. With continued friendship after college we will continue to be a big part of each other's lives. Whether it's crabbing in the Puget Sound, clamming at the coast, or buying her first investment home we will remain forever friends. Nichole had the pleasure of working with Evan for a short time before COVID hit and was able to get to know him more. You guys are such a great match and I can't wait to see you both flourish in this thing called life! Excited to share this special day with you both.

Joseph Heuschkel

Groomsman

From Mercer to Franklin and from Venom to Azeroth, me and Evan have been kicking it for a long time. Like a long long time. Old guys. We’ve worked together for a long time too; his favorite rapper is Kendrick Lamar and mine is J. Cole. But we both can agree that Weezy is the greatest rapper alive. Stupid fruity swag like a MF runt! It will be an honor and an absolute pleasure to stand next to my guy as he marries the love of his life! Congratulations!

Vanessa Tran

Bridesmaid

Jen and I met in High School, 20 plus years of friendship. She has always been a sister to me, we would spend countless hours staying up late on the weekends laughing, crying, and making endless memories together. Though we separated in college, we kept in touch. I am grateful that our friendship continues to blossom. I am so happy for her to enter this next chapter of life and watch her grow old with Evan.

Clarence Pine

Groomsman

I met Evan when I was in elementary school. We hung out a lot ever since then, in pretty much every grade- playing basketball and video games, trading cards; always finding things we like doing together. When I found my first job out of college we helped each other get into shape by working out every night at 24 Hour Fitness. He has been a huge part of my personal growth and he never complained (much) about cleaning up my puke in that Uber. I’m so glad my friend is marrying someone so warm and kind. Jenn has always had my back and Evan has great taste.
