Best Man
Energetic. Kind. Caring. Inventive. Imaginative. Empathetic. God-loving. This is what makes Isaac. Met Jesiah at Disney and became fast friends. Makes people smile wherever he goes. Surely has a future in making people happy.
Maid of Honor
A loving soul Jen Ning is proud to call her beloved friend and sister in Christ. Ever eager for the cause of peace, Sarah is an inspiring prayer warrior and someone Jen Ning very much looks up to. Sharing a flat with Sarah was one of the best experiences Jen Ning could have ever had in her college experience!
Groomsman
The dancing philosopher and constant friend. Gavin holds a special place in both Jen Ning and Jesiah's hearts. Just talk to him about Hume, Dante, or Michael Jackson, and he'll entertain you for hours.
Bridesmaid
Ning's roommate for the last half a year. A soul that loves the earth and loves people well. Hannah's a wonderful artist and even more wonderful friend. She is also one of the hardest workers Jen Ning knows.
Groomsman
Jesiah's oldest brother. Always dependable for a good pun and a whole lot of musical knowledge. He is one of the smartest and most talented people that Jesiah knows. Joe, along with his wife Maria, will someday take the world by storm with their music. Look forward to a taste of that music during the ceremony...
Bridesmaid
The eldest of the Quan siblings, Jenai is a researcher, but also an avid knitter. Catch her watering her little garden and introverting and staying at home with her husband, Peter, long before COVID-19 made it cool.
Groomsman
Jesiah's older, but not oldest, brother. Always one for bringing life and energy into a room. A very talented musician as well as a very caring brother, Josh and his wife Taylor are some of the warmest and kindest people Jesiah knows, and are always great for some board game time or deep conversations about life and the world.
Bridesmaid
Ning's second eldest sister; unfortunately unable to come because she'll be studying the days and nights away to be a good doctor. Not a boring one though. A fun one. Probably'll prescribe you wine. Always sending her love from an ocean away.
Groomswoman
Jesiah's younger sister. A terrific dancer and massive fan of Timothée Chalamet (most of the time). She is one who is always full of life and energy and is always up to date on the latest TikTok trends. Sometimes a dramaqueen and sometimes a goofball, she is Jesiah's sister through and through and Siah and Ning love her greatly.
Bridesmith
Ning's darling, little baby brother whom Ning is still in denial about becoming a teenager. (Seriously, stop growing) A naturally empathetic soul. Jeremy was Jen Ning's first baking partner and partner in crime. He'll also be a professional football goalie someday, just you wait.
Mother of the Groom
Jesiah's mom. A strong, intelligent, and caring woman of God. One of Jesiah's heroes. Works hard as a doctor, as well as a worship leader and mother/wife. She loves her children, including those who have been married in, with an unquestionable and unwavering love and leads her family with an ear towards the Holy Spirit.
Mother of the Bride
Jen Ning's mother and a super mum of four kids that are more than a handful. Full of wisdom and grace, she laughs at the days to come and trusts God through uncertainties and trials. She first taught Ning what love was meant to be like, then modelled it to her children. She's Ning's first best friend, reliable midnight snack companion, and an incredibly thorough homemaker. Don't let her "grey hair" (as she says) fool you, she's basically a child at heart.
Father of the Groom
Jesiah's first best friend. Known for his quick wit, his passion and talents for all things percussion, and his motivation for self improvement. He follows after God in his love for his family and his own personal life journey. His passion for both God and music have greatly impacted the same passions in Jesiah.
Father of the Bride
Jen Ning's father and a seasoned businessman-cum-traveller. The most giving person Ning knows. He taught her the importance and virtue of generosity. Jen Ning is forever thankful for the sacrifices he's made to give her the best life he was able to. If you ask Ning, she'll have a whole treasury of funny anecdotes to tell about him.
Best Cat
Princess. House cat.
Cat of Honour
Furry baby.
Officiant
The lead pastor at Imago Dei Church in Downey, CA where Jen Ning and Jesiah attended before the Coronavirus brought them up to Washington. Jen Ning and Jesiah are so incredibly thankful he is able to come and officiate the wedding.
