Wedding Party

Tyler Carlsen

Groom

For those who haven't met Tyler yet, I always joke that he's the personification of a cat. Quiet and curious at first, but as soon as he warms up he's loyal, protective, loving, and doesn't stop talking.

Jennie Pham

Bride

Elizabeth Pham

Maid of Honor

Being born 12 years apart, Jennie and Liz had a bit of a rough start to sisterhood. But after Jennie was done being a baby, a brat, and then an angsty teen, their relationship bloomed from being just sisters to ride-or-die best friends. Jennie is extremely grateful to have had an older sister to guide her through her younger years (and pay for everything), and Liz is thankful Jennie got it together and now constantly raids her free makeup and skincare drawers.

Jerica Magbitang

Bridesmaid

Jennie and Jerica met in summer school for Algebra 1 (they're both a lot of things, "good at math" isn't one of them) and immediately bonded over the fact that they have the same birthday, June 8th! If you've met one, you can say you already know the other. Jerica and Jennie are like twin flames, soul sisters, and forever friends.

Patrice Miranda

Bridesmaid

Jennie and Patrice met freshman year of high school, in 2011, because people kept telling them they looked alike (not true, they just both wore beanies and side braids). Throughout 14 years of friendship, they've been there for each other to cry through heartbreak, laugh through inside jokes, and cower through the countless scary movies they keep watching even though they're both terrified. Remaining close despite now living in different time zones, different countries, and leading extremely different lives, growing up together doesn't mean they've grown apart--rather the opposite, they're like sisters.

Tristen Solon

Bridesmaid

Despite having just met in 2022, Tristen (T) and Jennie immediately hit it off and even became roommates in 2023. In 2 years of living together, they've traveled to Chicago, New York, and San Francisco! And while they very much have their differences--T being a Virgo, logical, eldest sibling type-A who would spiral if all her luggage doesn't match, and Jennie being a Gemini, crybaby, youngest sibling type-B who hasn't backed up her iCloud in 3 years despite social media being her job--they're similar in the best unhinged, semi-chaotic, "do it for the plot" ways. When people say "opposites attract", this applies to platonic love as well, and you can absolutely see it in Jennie and T's friendship.
