Wedding Party
Samantha Casiano
Matron of Honor
Lilian and Samantha met at Fountain Valley High School and have been the best of friends for over 15 years. From DIYing school dance outfits, celebrating birthdays, going on epic Disneyland adventures and girls trips, to watching each other fall in love, Lil and Sam have witnessed, supported and celebrated all of each others' life milestones. It's only fitting that Sam is Lil's Best Woman.
Lianne Tasato
Bridesmaid
Being Taurus twins, Lianne and Lilian were inseparable during their college days. They spent their early 20s dancing the night away with their epic girl gang, getting tan poolside and scouring the streets for post-bar food to snack on. They just loved a good time and good people! And, although Lianne moved to Hawaii where she later married the love of her life and had two of the sweetest children, Lil and Lings always have been able to reconnect like no time has passed.
Marylinn Gunawan
Bridesmaid
Marylinn and Lilian met through mutual friends in college and hit it off right away. Marylinn is the silliest, most fun and caring person you'll ever meet so their friendship quickly took off. After Lil moved to the Bay Area, they only kept in touch here and there, but their friendship reignited after Lil moved into the same building as Mar once she was back in Southern California. Since then, they've been closer than ever and have been there for one another for all of life's big moments.
Esther Ching
Bridesmaid
Twin flames is how Lilian describes her connection with Esther. Lil and Ess met only a few years ago but became fast friends from the beginning. Ess's ability to uplift the people around her and her commitment to always being down to do something silly and fun are just some of the reason Lil found an instant connection with her. There aren't any birthdays, anniversaries, holidays or any days that pass where they don't come together to celebrate + spend quality time. If Ess is involved, get ready for a crazy fun time and fancy homemade cocktails.
Brooklyn Paxson
Bridesmaid
Brooklyn and Lilian met Freshman Year in Algebra Class and became friends instantly. They spent their classroom time gossiping about boys and complaining about teachers, homework and parents like typical teenagers do. After high school, they continued to remain close making sure to always met up for dinner when the other was in town. And no matter how many months have passed or miles between them, they've only have gotten closer throughout the years.
Andrea Ricafort-Uchida
Bridesmaid
Andrea and Lilian met through Chris (Best Man) and Arthur (Groom) when they lived together in the Bay Area. With their guys being best friends since middle school, it was only fitting that Dre and Lil grew closer over the years. Dre and Lil are the ultimate dynamic duo when it comes to instigating a good time with a little bit of tequila. From Laker games, music festivals and sitting on the couch and playing Drawful to marrying our best friends and supporting one another with our life goals, Lil couldn't walk down the aisle without Dre by her side.
Christopher Wong
Best Man
Brother to the Groom, Chris and Arthur have been through it all together. Their relationship came with its ups and downs like typical brother relationships do, but they did practically everything together growing up. From learning to play basketball, to reenacting WWE in the living room, to playing video games until the sun came up, to supporting one another throughout college and living with one another in the Bay Area, they've only gotten closer as the years have passed. It's no surprise that Chris will be Arthur's Co-Best Man.
Christopher Uchida
Best Man
After meeting in Elementary School, Chris and Arthur became fast friends. 20 years later, they still are able to maintain their best friendship all while being 350 miles a part. Their die-hard love for the Lakers and their core friend group has kept them close, even when life gets busy. When Chris got married to the love of his life Andrea, Arthur was right by his side, so it's only fitting that Chris is now returning the favor as Co-Best Man.
Kelvin So
Groomsman
Arthur met Kelvin during his Freshman Year at UC Santa Barbara as he was rushing for the Delta Sigma Pi fraternity. After bonding over their love of NBA 2K and drinking Hennessy, Kelvin became a "big brother" to Arthur, not only in the fraternity, but in day-to-day life as well. From making sure Arthur was eating throughout Finals to getting him through some tough break-ups, Kelvin has always been consistently present in Arthur's life.
Ker Moua
Groomsman
With a friendship lasting over 10 years and counting, Ker & Arthur have been clowning each other since they became friends at UC Santa Barbara. With Ker being from Sacramento and Arthur being from LA, they were never supposed to be "friends"... They built a friendship rooted in a hatred for the other's favorite basketball team. But, all jokes aside, Ker has been one of the most kind and consistent people in Arthur's life; showing up when it matters most. To this day, Ker and Arthur still talk daily – though most of the communication is through memes.
David Griniage
Groomsman
David and Arthur met in the early days of UC Santa Barbara in the dorm rooms. They connected over their affinity over basketball and began to to play pick up and intramural games together. After college, they both moved to San Francisco and eventually lived together with some of the other Groomsmen. They spent their 20s bar hoping in the Mission, clubbing at Origin and playing 2K for hours on end so it's only fitting that David is standing by his side on his special day.
Christopher Nguyen
Groomsman
Arthur met Chris (aka Biggie) while visiting Co-Best Man, Chris Uchida, when he was attending San Francisco State University. Arthur remembers Biggie as being one of the most out-of-pocket and inappropriately funny people in the room. But, weirdly enough, Arthur loved that about him. After college, Arthur moved up to the Bay and lived with Biggie and some of the other Groomsmen in the notorious Niantic house. And, now after years of friendship, Arthur would still consider Biggie as the glue of the friend group – always bringing the people we all love most together.
