Jennifer & Daniel
Wedding Party
Jennifer Fok
Bride
Jenn. The Bride. She's a self-proclaimed workaholic, foodie, and avocado lover, who enjoys walking around supermarkets, exploring nature and slowly becoming a plant mom. Graciously loved by the Lord and striving to become more like Him!
Daniel Lok
Groom
Dan. The Groom. Aside from marrying the love of his life, his interests include the 3 Cs: cars, coffee and Christ. He enjoys working on his car, adventuring the outdoors, learning new things (i.e., making pour over coffee), and eating!
Coanne Ko
Mother of the Bride
Lover of health, badminton and akagai (sushi surf clam). As the bride's mom, Coanne won't let Jenn ever forget the long hours she had spent in labour carrying her. Besides being her mom, she's been a sister, a friend, a superhero and has also constantly encouraged Jenn to love & lean on the Lord. Coanne's coworkers sometimes call her CoCo (yes like the BBT store) because of her first name and the energy she brings to the office. She's excited to dance the night away in celebration of her daughter's marriage!
Terry Fok
Father of the Bride
Lover of HK style milk tea, to-do lists and unagi (eel). Over the years, Terry has worn many hats... from teaching Jenn academics, helping her cook & clean to leading their family/household in loving the Lord and keeping Christ as their foundation... but being Jenn's dad was the most important role. He has truly demonstrated the meaning of sacrificial and selfless love. His joyful nature, humble/gentle heart, and love for the Lord is so inspiring and something that she'll always be in awe of!
Tabitha Allman
Bridesmaid
Best friends since the fourth grade, Tabitha and Jennifer have done everything from pulling pranks together as children to travelling hundreds of miles to visit each other in college! Their friendship has truly stood the test of time and distance! They say that the mark of a true friendship is the ability to go over to the other person’s house and literally just take a nap, and they have done this... numerous times. Tabitha loves exploring new places, deep conversations, and a good tub of mint chocolate chip ice cream (which, by the way, does NOT taste like toothpaste)!
Cheery Attia
Bridesmaid
Jenn first met Cheery in grade two, along with another bridesmaid, Tabitha Allman, where they've stirred up quite the shenanigans. Their friendship continued to grow throughout high school and despite attending university in different cities, their bond has transformed into the sisterhood they share today. You can be sure to expect Cheery cooking up some fun at the wedding!
Joanna Zhang
Bridesmaid
Jo and Jenn met on a beautiful sunny day on a driveway -- no, really! What started out as finding solace in each other’s company during weekends spent hanging out in parking lots (shout out to Dan!) has flourished into an everlasting bond of fun times and non-stop banter. Long car rides going out to consume baked goods would not be the same if not enjoyed together, and they’ve definitely enjoyed their fair share! Jenn has been grateful to have found a sister, who knows her so well and has shown so much love & care towards her. According to Jo, she is looking forward to their next “Bachelor & BBT” sesh (you heard it from here first!), but secretly already knows nobody will beat Jenn and Dan for cutest couple.
Brittany Koornstra
Bridesmaid
Brittany met Jenn while they were both studying business at Laurier and bonded over a love for learning, adventure and fun times. Despite the distance after graduating, they've kept in touch through downtown dinner dates and making time to see each other in various cities! Jenn can't wait to continue growing their friendship over the next 1000+ years, and has loved the sunshine that Britt has brought to her life ;) A self-professed plant mom, Britt keeps it real and can’t wait to bust a move on the dance floor to celebrate the couple that’s FINALLY tying the knot!
Melissa Younis
Bridesmaid
Jenn and Melissa met in their first year of university during their Economics class. They were initially both sitting alone, until Jenn decided to ask Melissa to join her. Ever since then, the pair have been great friends and even became roommates throughout the remaining years of university. Living not too far away from each other's hometowns (Vaughan & Richmond Hill), Jenn has loved being able to still keep in touch and grow their friendship! Melissa enjoys going on hikes, long drives, and spending days at the beach. She can’t wait to be by Jenn’s side as she celebrates her wedding this October.
Jessica Claudio
Bridesmaid
Jessica is not only one of Jenn’s bridesmaids, but the girlfriend of her older brother, Raymond. Jess loves art, photography and reading. Once, she finished Harry Potter’s 5th volume within 12 hours! She enjoys classic movies (black and white movies are NOT boring), deep talks and eating delicious food. Jenn has truly appreciated the love & support that Jess has shown her throughout the years they've known each other. Jess still remembers the first time Dan came over and was introduced by Jenn. Time truly flies! She is really excited to witness their special day!
Alex Leung
Groomsman
Alex and Daniel first met in the most unlikely of circumstances... at Dan's house. They had never met before, but they shared a similar passion for cars and that's where their friendship began. They had initially chatted about the car that Alex once owned and Dan now owns. This random meeting was just the beginning of a great bromance: parking lot chill sessions, weekend drives, food crawls, summer road trips, and weekly cooking sessions.
Ryan Luck
Groomsman
Ryan met Daniel in their first year of college. As a lot of you reading these “bios” will notice, automobiles are what brought a lot of Dan's friends together. Ryan had thought of himself as some guy with bad taste in cars, who needed to be shown the ways of "tasteful" car modification and proper school ethic from Daniel. Some of that may have been true (haha!), but Dan truly cherished his friendship with Ryan - working together on many school projects, never failing to put a smile on his friends' faces and entertaining with his simulation & real racing skills!! Six years later, the two have become lifelong friends and have become as close as family.
Lester Liu
Groomsman
Lester first met Daniel when he was a young lad in church fellowship. Lester was one of the youth counsellors there, and he led a small group that Daniel was in. Daniel looked up to him back then because he drove a black rusty manual Integra. He obviously thought Lester had the coolest car ever and that’s how they first connected. Some of their memories include fixing cars together, and discussing Daniel's love life over a nice Hong Kong style breakfast on Saturday mornings. Lester was very excited to watch Daniel grow from a young teenager and now taking the next step into marriage.
Raymond Fok
Groomsman
Ray is Jenn’s older brother. He is a part-time movie-goer and a full-time Pokémon trainer (Snorlax!). He is a lover of food and is always excited to try out new restaurants around the area. He is a self-inflicted life-long learner whose studies have given him the opportunity to travel to London, UK and Philadelphia, USA. During this time and distance, Jenn and Dan have missed him, but have been super proud & excited to see Ray's growth and accomplishments (shout out to technology!). Ray has been grateful to have been able to share many of these moments together with his family, and now, he is excited to witness Jenn and Dan’s monumental day.
Reagan Yeum
Flower Girl
Reagan is Daniel’s niece. She loves her uncle Dan and her auntie Jenn. She loves to show her new toys to them. Reagan can’t wait for her new auntie and newly married uncle to give her red pockets for next Chinese New Year. ✌🏻
Sully Liu
Ring Bearer
Sully is 3 years old and shares his middle name with Daniel. He is Lester's (one of the groomsmen) son. He loves making pretend feasts for Daniel and Jenn when they come visit.
