Wedding Party
Kelsey Yen
Maid of Honor
My favorite little sister. She is full of snarky malarkey and hilarious movie references. She is patient, compassionate, and helpful. And such fun! Ask her about Broadway musicals, mechanical engineering, and Michigan weather.
Arielle Hanna
Bridesmaid
We worked together at Nothing Bundt Cakes (Ingrid Kuo's Pasadena location). Times together often consist of wine, Disney, and Trader Joe's snacks. She is faithful, determined, and supportive. Ask her about Port Salut and cozy weighted blankets.
Morgan Klein
Bridesmaid
We met in junior high, bonding over a book report on Jane Eyre. My forever companion in everything Jane Austen. She has the most encouraging, gracious, and hospitable heart. Ask her about the Pacific Crest Trail and how to bake an excellent choux.
Ashley Mason
Bridesmaid
We met in high school, the beginning of many late night cups of tea together. She is well-travelled and well-read. She is kind, courageous, and so intelligent. Ask her about neuroscience or about anything really (she'll know).
Vanessa Mok
Bridesmaid
We grew up together, until she left me for college in New York and then Disney in Florida. She inspires me by how she follows her dreams. She is thoughtful, generous, and hardworking. Ask her about snails and The Night Circus.
Jordan Yoshihara
Bridesmaid
We grew up as family friends, with many Christmases of home plays and witty limericks. We tried starting a food-pun-based Etsy shoppe that never took off. She is gentle, creative, and smart. Ask her about C++ and constructing desk fountains out of bundt pans.
Jason Cao
Best Man
Brother from the same mother (and father). We used to go into each others' rooms when we were bored and exasperatedly exclaim: "Entertain me!". Love the quirky way he looks at the world. Ask him about tennis and that one time he caught a fly in a special way.
Chris Botros
Groomsman
We met when he moved into the house and bonded over mangos (gotta get those non-fibrous, fleshy ones). Sharing a desire to be intentional carried over into many a man-date. Love the way he cares for his fellow man. Ask him about growing mangos or for great surf spots.
Keith Jourdian
Groomsman
We met half a lifetime ago at church before I was a Christian. We have played Magic: The Gathering for the entirety of our relationship. Love his compassionate heart and enjoy his surfer-like speech pattern. Ask him to try to explain a complex concept in a simple way.
Kevin Tanaka
Groomsman
We met at a young adult bowling event in DTLA. We started a group-led small group together with a few other people that met for about a year. Love his low-key demeanor and sense of humor. Ask him for food recommendations or about his experience with Habitat for Humanity.
Cary Wong
Groomsman
We met at Trinity Church when he visited one Sunday. I had the honor of baptizing him and am so proud of how he continues to grow in Godly character. Ask him about his photography projects or how he selflessly serves the youth.
Andrew Yen
Groomsman
Lauren's favorite big brother. We met at a family dinner party. We both like minimalism and are pretty thrifty. Love the way he prioritizes family. Ask him to see pictures of Kylo Yen or for board game recommendations.
