Wedding Party
Amanda Chun
Maid of Honor
Amanda is not just my younger sister—she’s my best friend. I can still vividly remember seeing her for the first time right after she was born, and the overwhelming joy I felt at finally becoming a big sister. From making her star in music videos with me on the camcorder to dressing her up in princess costumes, I was relieved, knowing that I finally had someone by my side who I knew would always be there, no matter what. Our bond is unbreakable and Amanda truly understands me to my core. I’m beyond lucky to have a sister like her standing by my side on my special day!
Aryana Pourshafie
Maid of Honor
Aryana and I have been inseparable since our leadership days in high school--navigating every awkward phase together, celebrating every victory with one another, and supporting each other through the toughest times. Although we can never pinpoint the exact moment our friendship began, I’ll never forget the instant connection and sisterly bond we shared from the very beginning. Through it all, Aryana has been by my side, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her. I’m beyond thrilled to be celebrating this milestone with my bestie standing beside me!
Ashley Kang
Bridesmaid
Ashley is my cousin and bestie! Since I don't have an older sister, Ashley has always fulfilled that role for me (whether she likes it or not!). This is something I've always been extremely grateful for even if I don't say it enough. She has always been a shoulder to cry on and someone who will laugh at my jokes even if they're not funny. I truly could not imagine our special day without Ashley in it!
Ellen Park
Bridesmaid
Ellen is my cousin and bestie! Ellen's older-sisterly love towards me throughout the years is something I appreciate more than she knows and is something I will never take for granted! I am forever grateful that my best friend just so happens to be my family too and I cannot imagine celebrating this special day without Ellen in my corner!
Haley Gibson
Bridesmaid
Haley and I met at Cal Poly in our sorority, Chi Omega, where I took Haley in as my "little sister". Although we didn't know each other prior to being paired up, we instantly clicked and have been best friends ever since. From late night karaoke to walking around downtown SLO, all of my greatest college memories are with Haley and I am so thankful to have met such a bright ray of sunshine that I can call my forever best friend and lil sis. I am so happy to have her standing by me on this special day!
Alex Poirier
Best Man
Alex is my younger brother and mini me. Ever since we were little it has been monkey-see- monkey-do (which drove me crazy at times). From messing around the house/backyard as kids, to playing the same sports growing up, to both attending Cal Poly (where we joined the same fraternity), Alex has always been by my side. After college, Alex chose not to follow me to San Diego and for the first time ever, I was actually upset that Alex did NOT copy me. As we've grown older, I appreciate Alex's annoying little brother tendencies a lot more than I thought I would and I can't imagine having anyone else next to me on this big day!
Luke O'Neill
Best Man
Luke and I met in pre-school and our parents soon discovered we lived on adjacent streets, about a one minute walk apart. We have gone to school together every single year since, even through college. Growing up we played on countless sports teams together, carpooled to school and sports practices, and hung out most days after school with the other "roque rats". When it was time to go off to college, we decided to attend Cal Poly together and lived together throughout our college days. We have countless memories together and Luke has truly been there for every stage of my life and I can't wait for him to be by my side during this next exciting chapter too.
Nick Lyon
Groomsman
Nick and I attended Cal Poly and lived together for all four years. Luke and I were randomly paired to room with Nick and Alec in the dorms and from day one, it was like we had been friends for years. Nick and I both studied engineering and bonded over late night study sessions and daily shenanigans around the house. We formed a lasting friendship through our similar sense of humor, goals, and countless hours doing anything and everything together. I'm so grateful to have Nick in my corner for this special moment!
Ben Gately
Groomsman
Ben and I met in pre-school and grew up in the same neighborhood. Through the years, we went to summer camps together, had countless sleepovers, and skateboarded throughout the neighborhood together. Though we played different sports in high school and went to different colleges, we have remained in touch throughout it all. I can always count on having a good time with Ben anywhere and anytime. We are each others biggest supporters and oldest friends!
Michael Chun
Groomsman
I met Mike about a year into dating Lauren. We have always gotten along well, bonding over golf, sports, and joking around. Mike's sense of humor and energy is contagious and I always have a good time with him no matter what. I'm proud of the man Mike is becoming and I can't wait to gain another younger brother. I'm looking forward to continuing to build memories together with Mike as an older brother and friend and I'm grateful to have him by my side during this special time in our life!
Alec Rashidi
Special Shoutout
Alec, one of Nico's best friends from Cal Poly, will be away on deployment in May and is unable to attend. We will miss his presence so much, but we know he'll be here celebrating with us in spirit! Thank you for your service!
