Wedding Party
Lauren Uyeno
Best Woman/Panko Handler
Lauren is Keith's older sister. Although they didn't always get along when they were little (Keith could be quite a pest), he's always looked up to Lauren for her humor, positive vibes, and outside the box thinking. And now that they're adults, they find commonalities in their love of dogs (Lauren is quite the dog whisperer), cooking and booze. _______________________________________________
Sharon Liao Enomoto
Matron of Honor
Sharon is Allison's sister-in-law. The two of them have spent countless hours bonding over games, food, and everything Disney. When Allison was still living in Southern California, Sharon would often visit her (and Disneyland) with Allison's family. Now that they live closer, Sharon and James often visit Allison and Keith on the weekends. They have become spoiled by these visits as Sharon often cooks them delicious feasts and entertains Panko with endless games of fetch the ball. _______________________________________________
Justin Matsuura
Officiant
Justin has been with Keith and Allison since the beginning of their relationship. They were all accepted into Jodaiko (UCI's taiko group) the same year and have been great friends since. They spent numerous hours studying, eating out, and going to Disneyland during their time together at UCI. Even though Justin still resides in Southern California with his wife and daughter, the three of them have been fortunate to keep in touch throughout the years at their annual hangout every holiday season. _______________________________________________
Panko the corgi
Best Dog/Dog of Honor
Panko is Keith and Allison's playful corgi. He is a teenager (in dog years) and is definitely in his rebellious stage. Panko enjoys playing fetch for hours to distract his parents from their work, ripping his new toys to shreds within minutes, barking incessantly for no apparent reason, and stealing/eating everything he is not supposed to. But at the end of the day, he loves a good cuddle session and can be the sweetest/most affectionate pup there is. When he looks at you with his big smile and wagging nub, you cannot stay mad at him for long! He has brought so much joy into Keith and Allison's lives and they would not trade him for the world! _______________________________________________
