Letitia & Christopher
Wedding Party
Nicole Shinkawa
Maid of Honor
Nicole was one of my first friends in dental school. We quickly bonded over our love for ice cream with one of our first friend dates being at Garden Creamery. Nicole is multitalented, being an AMAZING maid of honor, incredible dentist, and truly fantastic cookie decorator!
Justin Martinez
Best Man
Brother of the groom. Chris and Justin started their friendship roughly 27 years ago! They attend family events together, and sometimes play video games on weekday evenings. Fun fact: Justin is shorter than Chris!
Alana Hindiyeh
Bridesmaid
Alana and I's friendship began while struggling through high school PE. Apart from running the weekly mile together, we spent many of our high school weekends watching Giants and Niners games in her backyard. Alana and I's recent adventures have consisted of some eventful New Year's Eve outings.
Kyle Kastrup
Groomsman
This groomsman has been friends with Chris since high school! Starting way back in cross country and track, Kyle has been with Chris through great times and hard times. This lifelong friendship will continue to grow for years to come.
Rutu Shah
Bridesmaid
Roots has been there for me through some very stressful moments, from running for positions in ASDA to leading meetings in CDA. Roots has always been a source of stability and reassurance. In addition to hanging out with the rest of the Dental Denim girls, Roots and I also love to craft with our Cricuts.
Eric Klein
Groomsman
This groomsman has been friends with Chris since high school! Starting with cross country and track, Eric has seen the best and the worst of Chris. He might be slightly faster, but at least Chris has stunning beauty!
Tanya Tabibian
Bridesmaid
Tanya is more than my bridesmaid, she's also my birthday buddy :). We first met in the UC Irvine Biology program, bonding us over late night lab write ups and preparing to apply for dental school together. A few years later Tanya and I re-connected as she was in the same dental school class as Chris! We've been inseparable ever since.
Luis Vidaurri
Groomsman
This groomsman has been friends with Chris since the beginning of dental school. Within the first few weeks of school, Chris and Luis were inseparable. Studying and hanging out is what got both of them through the challenging times. They will be lifelong friends and dental colleagues for decades to come.
Pauline Tran
Bridesmaid
Truly a vision of beauty and grace, Pauline is another lovely member of the Dental Denim crew, a group of us girls from the UOP Class of 2020. Dental school may have been a struggle but that struggle certainly bonded us in a special way. Pauline is also mom to a cute little hamster, Kapiko.
Matt Ellison
Groomsman
This groomsman was Chris' first friend and roommate in college. They lived together for five years! Chris and Matt studied business in at the University in Reno. They learned to tolerate each others worst attributes, and embrace the best.
Elizabeth Le
Bridesmaid
Elizabeth and I got to know each other through Michael and Chris's friendship. Over the past few years we've made lots of fun memories, celebrating birthdays, 4th of July's, Halloweens, and each other's anniversaries together. I'm also obsessed - in a healthy way - with Elizabeth's dog Oakley. See you on the cruise!
Michael Zhou
Groomsman
This groomsman is one of Chris' dental school buddies. Although they weren't close at the beginning of the four year program, by the end they were always hanging out! Since graduating from dental school, Michael and Chris hang out all the time in LA eating great food, watching movies and playing video games.
