Jinwoong & Rebecca
Wedding Party | 들러리
Faith Huh
Maid of Honor/Sister of the Bride
Becky was my personal doll the moment she was born and then the annoying little sister who followed me around everywhere. But in the 27 years of first hating each other just for breathing and then laughing and crying through life, she has now become my best friend and someone I respect and adore. It is an honor to now see her become the most beautiful bride this fall. As possessive as I am of my baby sister, Jinwoong has been the best addition to our family. In many ways he’s been more present in our day to day lives than my brother who’s always off in Africa. I know for a fact that Jinwoong has shoveled the snow in our driveway more times than the aforementioned person has. I am so lucky to soon call Jinwoong family and cannot wait to see how their beautiful love continues to blossom.
Hyuk Tak
Best Man
My name is Hyuk Tak. I’m a member of New York Beloved Church, which is where I met Jinwoong. I would say he is one of my closest friends and like a brother to me. He is one of the few that I could trust to share my feelings and concerns. He’s been there during my highs and lows. During my highs he celebrated with me and was happy for me. During my lows he was there to encourage me and tried to find ways to get through the problems with me. He is a guy you could rely on to be there for you. My most memorable moment with Jinwoong was when we went on a roadtrip to California. During this trip we got to know each other more and got closer than before. I’m glad that he met Rebecca and sees that she is the right one for him. I could see how much Jinwoong has changed and improved after meeting her. Can't believe he's already getting married. Time flies!
Amber Min
Bridesmaid
There's no one quite like Rebecca-- she was always a super-human. She's able to juggle her responsibilities, the responsibilities of others, her doggy Holy, and more-- all while looking ethereally beautiful. Throughout our 10 years of friendship, I've been able to see her grit and dedication to the people around her in both New York and Atlanta. I'm so blessed to have been able to walk together in both our physical and spiritual lives. I'm so, so happy that she has Jinwoong to be the superman to her superhuman, and give her the strength and compassion that she has so willingly given all her life to others. Outside of following Rebecca across state-lines, you can find me talking to my cats Beef and Chicken (please ask me for pictures!), monching, sleeping, and/or obnoxiously laughing at raccoon memes!
Daniel Sung
Groomsman
Jinwoong, or most known to me as Lita, is getting married... Absolutely crazy to think he's asked me to be his groomsman, I've never even met the guy! My name is Daniel Sung and I first got to know Lita sometime in the early 2010s. I was introduced by my childhood friend Eric, who is another groomsman, online through video games. We hit it off great and were playing daily, hours on end, and frequently with no sleep. While people were panicking about the world ending in 2012 we were out there worried about finding the next win. I think we can all agree that he's found one of the biggest wins in life, being the support to his carry. Eric and I know all too well how much of a dead weight Lita can be. For real though, I still can't imagine finding another friend like Lita. From how we met to the type of brotherhood we have formed. Cheers to your marriage and new beginnings with Rebecca!
Karen Shim
Bridesmaid
Rebecca and I met in college, where we started off as barely acquaintances because we were (and still are) so different. Over time, and with a bit of Faith’s help, we learned to appreciate our differences and have since formed a lifelong friendship. One cherished memory I have of Rebecca is when she nursed me back to health when I felt deathly ill during college. She accompanied me to urgent care and cooked me homemade 죽, an act of love I had not before experienced from a friend. When I’m not working as a data analyst, I’m often exploring things to do in Washington DC, playing ultimate frisbee, desperately reading books from the library before they expire, or playing games with friends.
Eric Lim
Groomsman
Hi my name is Eric. I met Jinwoong 15 years ago on a game. While we’ve never officially met, we met online on a game 15 years ago. Through fun (and sometimes rage-inducing) online gaming experiences, to even just being a supportive emotional friend, he’s been an extremely important person in my life. Lita, I hope you and Rebecca carry through this beautiful relationship, the same way you (sometimes) carry our games.
Ellen Shi
Bridesmaid
Ellen lives in Atlanta, where she spends her time playing board games, listening to audiobooks, and picking up new hobbies like crochet and beading. Ellen was Rebecca’s fated college roommate. Cramped in Harris Hall, they pushed together their lofted beds in the middle of the room and slept side-by-side like a married couple for all of sophomore year. Now that position must be conceded to Jinwoong.
Sungho Yun
Groomsman
My name is Sungho and I belong to New York Beloved Church like Jinwoong does. I first met him at the church and found that we were in the same college. Ever since then, we were getting closer to each other and sometimes do chimaek and play golf together. I am so happy that now I have a good friend who I can share life of marriage with. Welcome to the world of 유부남!
Ester Choi
Bridesmaid/Sister of the Groom
The earliest memory that I have of my brother, Jinwoong, would be him giving me Starburst and me constantly following him around. I probably would have been voted as the #1 most annoying sister who constantly looked for her older brother. Jinwoong has always been there for me when I needed him and has fulfilled three different roles in my life: an older brother who I respected, a father that guided me through my youth, and a friend who always listened without judging me. He has always been a great brother to me and I am so overjoyed that he has found his soulmate, Rebecca, who is a new addition to the family and such a blessing. I'm very excited to have her in the family! I wish them both a lifetime of happiness!
Ronald Mak
Groomsman
My name is Ronald. In college where I met Rebecca, we had a lot of fun together with Ellen (we called ourselves the threeo) like making crème brûlée, eating donuts, and watching movies. We share all the dramas we went through and comfort each other, but it’s mostly Rebecca sharing all her dramas. I have no idea how a person can have that much drama in her life until I meet her. I am so happy for Rebecca to have Jinwoong with her to carry her burden and to share her drama. I can still remember the time when Jinwoong, Rebecca, and I decorated the house with Christmas light, seeing how Jinwoong is so loving he is to Rebecca and accepting all her ridiculous commands with a gentle smile. I can’t wait to see how their love for each other grow in their daily life.
