Julie & Joey
Our People
Victoria Nguyen
Maid of Honor
aka my cousin, my sista from anotha mista, my GFL, my blood Victoria is my cousin from my mom's side. Her and I fought a lot as kids (I have video footage), but somehow we found ourselves planning entire summer trips at each other's houses, getting cold stone, carl's jr. and having movie nights any chance we got. She'll do anything for family and I can always count on her to be my #1 supporter.
Andrew Suarez
Best Man
Drewski, The party animal 3rd oldest brother who took care of me growing up and continues to watch out for me. Andrew is the crazy party animal that loves to party until the sun comes up and admires French Bull dog videos and boujee fashion brands. You can catch Andrew at Coachella or any where that is a party.
Melanie Tang
Maid of Honor
aka oneinamillion Mel and I's friendship goes back to 2005. We use to swap lunches in middle school, get in trouble in class, ran for class office together and never needed to always talk or see each other everyday, but always knew the other one was there. She's a true friend (*cue Hannah Montana song). You can always count on her to never pick up my FaceTime calls.
Brady Chau
Best Man
Brady Brady and I became really great friends in high school from late night kick backs to Costco food runs and basically from there our friendship took off. Brady and I have a bond that no matter how many days we don't talk or hangout with each other that things never change between us. I can always rely on Brady when we talk about work, life and relationships (mainly to vent about Julie).
Luiza Andrade
Bridesmaid
aka brownie, aka lu Luiza is so good at indoor and beach volleyball that we had to take her from Brazil. She is the most loyal and caring person to those close to her. She currently lives in Naca-Nowhere, but we are working on getting her back. You can always count on her to never pronounce swirl or squirrel correctly, but she’s working on it.
Vincent Suarez
Groomsman
Supreme Leader 2nd oldest Brother (aka Calvin's dad, aka. Supreme Leader). Growing up I always thought Vince had so much swag that I used to borrow his clothes and shoes even if they never really fit, but now he borrows all of my stuff. Vince is just as excited for this wedding as he is when he calls or texts to remind me off upcoming SNKR or Supreme drops.
Jamie Hirai
Bridesmaid
aka brownie, aka fobby Jamie was one of my first friends on the San Jose State team. She is a Hawaiian native, was the smallest outside hitter for SJSU and doesn't like to say I love you to people. She is so sassy, but I wouldn't have her any other way. You can always count on her to not want to hug you.
Johnson Taing
Groomsman
Big J, Legolas Johnson and I met in middle school where we both walked home together. Johnson and I would talk about anything from school, games, and even our crushes. I would say without Johnson, I don't think I would have met Julie in the Summer of 2009. I can always count on Johnson to be there.
Lori Kwock
Bridesmaid
aka lo, aka drinking instigator Lori recruited me to play 9-Man volleyball where our relationship flourished through drunk late night talks. Lori is a competitive, dog-mom and the most down to earth person I know. You can always count on her to cover the tips over my block and then yell at me when I try to reach back and get it.
David Gabriel
Groomsman
DMG David and I met on the first day of 4th grade and ever since then we were the only two that were Filipinos within our group of friends. David was always down to kick it and occasionally be the party animal, but he's toned down a bit and retired from that life. All I can say is I can rely on David to be a reliable and honest friend to be around.
Sara Hibbs
Bridesmaid
aka shibby shibbs Sara is a free spirit and one of the funniest people I know. This was an unexpected friendship, but she has helped me find laughter in life. You can always count on her to talk with her hands a lot and squat down just to take a picture with her short friends.
Ethan Trinh
Groomsman
Look a like Matty Ice, Loose Lips Ethan is one of Julies cousins that I have gotten to know over the years and can say that we have shared some fun memories every time we meet up and occasionally party. Although he lives on the East coast, the best way I stay connected is asking him why he's an Atlanta Hawks & Falcons Fan (28-3).
Tyanna Roy
Bridesmaid
aka TT, aka exotic goddess Tyanna is always down for a night out and a good time. She and I always have fun together, wherever and whenever. She always has my back. You can always count on TT to get you into bars and parties you never thought you'd go to. She is a true ride or die. 4eva evaaaa.
David Ngo
Groomsman
Davy, Little D, softie. Not much to say about this guy, but how our friendship has grown these past few years. David came into my life like a little baby out of no where, but I can say that he has become one of my most loyal and trust worthy (sometimes) friends.
Breann Robinson
Bridesmaid
aka bun, aka swolemate Bun and I's friendship was also unexpected, but buddha brought her into my life to bring more light and joy. She is a baller setter and always down for a good time. I can always count on her to push me to work hard in the weight room and throw some big girl weights around!
Chris Truong
Groomsman
The Boy Scout Chris is one my oldest and best friend since Kindergarten. As we got older our lives are still connected to this day, the both of us went to the same schools all the way throughout college and eventually became coworkers as top flight security guards at Google. Until this day, Chris and I continue to reminisce on old memories and continue to make new ones.
Rececca Dietz
Officiant
Meet my aunt Rebecca. She is married to my uncle on my mom's side and lives in Maryland. I use to spend months at their house in the summer and always made Maryland feel like my home away from home. You can always count on her for great advice and listen to your problems.
