Jimmy & Diana
Wedding Party
Debbie
Mother of the Bride
Diana and Debbie enjoy spending time together traveling, going to karaoke, and having tea parties! One of Debbie's favorite memories took place when Diana was in fifth grade. She was given the school assignment of teaching the class how to do something. Diana taught the class how to make kappa maki (cucumber sushi rolls). Half the class had never eaten sushi before! Something that was very important to Debbie was to make sure that Diana grew up knowing she is loved,that has the skills to be an independent thinker, and the joys of being a self-sufficient person. "I wish Diana and Jimmy all the best that life has to offer and look forward to becoming one big family."
Cas
Father of the Bride
Diana and Cas enjoy spending time together watching anime, going to conventions, taking trips to the archery range, and cooking together! One of Cas’s favorite memories took place on Diana’s first birthday. Cas and Debbie had gotten Diana a cake for her birthday, and eating it would be a first for Diana. After one bite, she gave them a look that said “wow you've really been hiding the good stuff from me huh?” And dove into the cake face first! Something that Cas has found important was to make sure Diana always felt safe and supported with a family that truly loves and cherishes her. "I wish Diana and Jimmy all the happiness in the world. To know that they have each other and can support each other is comforting”
Jack
Father of the Groom
Jimmy and Jack enjoy spending time together talking about cars, sharing favorite kung fu movies, and eating together. One fond memory between the two was when Jack would pick Jimmy up from grade school in his 1989 Toyota MR2. All of Jimmy's friends would say how cool Jimmy's dad was. When they got closer to home, Jack would let Jimmy sit on his lap to steer the car. Jimmy remembers that fondly and might have been how he fell in love with MR2s! It was important for Jack to show Jimmy that he shouldn’t be afraid to speak up for what he believes in. Jack wanted to encourage Jimmy to learn lots of different life skills so he could be well prepared to help both himself and others as well. “I wish my son and his wife to have a happy life together!”
Tuyen
Mother of the Groom
Jimmy and Tuyen enjoy spending time together through conversation, going shopping, and sharing a meal together. One of Tuyen's fondest memories was when Jimmy was still attending school.

To be patient and handle everything in life with care. “I wish Jimmy and Diana happiness together and to always feel love from both sides of his family”
