Wedding Party
Laura
Maid of Honor
Growing up, Laura and I fought only like sisters can, but somewhere along the way, arguments turned into laughter and she became my best friend. Laura is a true go-getter, never afraid to chase after what she wants, and her loyalty is unmatched. I couldn't ask for a better person to be my maid of honor as I say "I do", and know that just like every other moment in our lives, she will be there with love, strength, and maybe a few happy tears :) And the favor will gladly be returned when she marries her fiancé Benson in the future!
Dylan
Best Man
A tale as old as time, a playground fight leads to a life-long friendship. Dylan is soft-spoken but quick-witted, a great friend, but an even better husband to his lovely wife Erika (who is so wonderful, we HAD to mention her too!) and the best father to his children, Jonathan (my Godson) and Naomi. Dylan and I share many years of memories playing video games, disc golf, and just sitting in silence- one of Dylan's favorite activities. Unfortunately for him, he will never get rid of me, and I am so lucky to have him as my best man!
Kate
Bridesmaid
Kate is Tucker's older sister, and has a heart of gold. Her, her husband Drew, and her son, little Drew live in Philadelphia. She will always go above and beyond for the people she loves. Kate is also absolutely hilarious, and I am so incredibly lucky to have her by my side for my special day, and to gain her as a sister in every way that matters!
Anthony
Groomsman
Another elementary school friend who is irreplaceable to this tight-knit friend group and me. Anthony is the one who is always down for an adventure. There is no shortage of memories with Anthony from bowling club, to Charger's football, to all of the memories in Maine. Anthony is extremely loyal and supportive of his loved ones. He is also the only person who has ever lived with us! Him and his beautiful dog- Jasmine are both so precious to us!
Samantha
Bridesmaid
Samantha is a one-of-a-kind. She is extremely friendly, helpful, and has exquisite taste in ice cream. She is the best mom ever to her two gorgeous daughters, Elianna and Amalia. Her better half, Leroy also deserves a shoutout, as the only other person to ever steal Tucker's heart.
Kyle
Groomsman
Yet another old friend, I met Kyle playing youth football (undefeated with Anthony and KJ). Kyle and I are quick to make each other laugh, and even quicker to insult each other, a bond that can't be broken. Kyle has grown into a thoughtful, and caring man, and I am Honored to have him by my side on my future wedding day. Kyle is married to Rachel who is another close friend in the group, and they did me the honor of having their first born on my birthday. (Love you, Claire)
Tipp
Bridesmaid
Tippawan is my dental-hygiene SOUL SISTER! Our friendship is irreplaceable to me! Since graduating our brutal dental hygiene program, she is now living the dream of motherhood to her two perfect little boys, Brendan and Patrick.
Mike
Groomsman
Mike is outgoing and deeply caring for his friends. One might say he is even the glue of the friend group. He is adventurous, has visited and lived all around the world, and not afraid to jump straight into a new journey! Mike is always willing to do anything to bring a smile to people's faces. We know that many laughs will be had whenever Mike is around. And hopefully, his mom will pack us a nice snack on the wedding day in case we get hungry.
Tina
Bridesmaid
Tina and I were friends freshman year in high school, but then reconnected in dental hygiene school, almost like it was fate to be together! Anyone who knows her knows that she is incredibly funny and smart. She loves her friends and family fiercely, and is never afraid to stand up for what is right! Tina is admirable in many ways, and I am so proud to call her a great friend, and a bridesmaid. Tina and her fiancé Andrew will be getting married in November of 2025!
Tommy
Groomsman
Tommy is very friendly and a great conversationalist. He is quick to make a stranger feel welcome. We've been to many concerts together, and it is always amusing to see Tommy name the song after the first note. It has been a pleasure to know him for many years, and to watch him grow. Him and his girlfriend Angela will be expecting their first bundle of joy very soon!
Ashley
Bridesmaid
Ever since we were six years old, running back and forth across the street between our houses, I knew I had found a lifelong friend. She is, without a doubt, one of the funniest people I have ever met. Someone who can turn any situation into a comedy show. Beyond the jokes, she is also the best listener, always there with an open heart and the best advice. She truly is one of my favorite people in this world!
KJ
Groomsman
Another Charger's OG. There is so much I can say about this special man. I am always amazed by how much he's grown, and the life he's made in San Diego. Even though he is extremely busy, he never misses an opportunity to check in and catch up with his friends and family across the country. Him and his wife Tori are newly weds, and genuinely amazing people!
Priscila
Bridesmaid
Priscila was brought into our lives when Johnny and her started dating. She is a great addition to the family, very sweet, loves to help people, and loves all things to do with beauty and better living! She is adventurous, loves to travel, and is a great dog mom to their baby Jazzy!
Johnny
Groomsman
Johnny is Lina's older brother, and Priscila's husband. He currently has been bit by the travel bug and enjoys spending his time in new locations, and is doing his second cross country road trip as we speak. We can't wait for him to come back to spend more time with him and hear more crazy stories about all things food, military, or dog related!
Neka
Bridesmaid
Neka is Benson's little sister, and a great addition to our family! Since meeting her, we just started off on the right foot together... or maybe it was the left. She loves animals and just adopted her puppy named Colby. She will be completing nursing school very soon, and we are so proud of her, and cannot wait to celebrate more of life's accomplishments together.
Benson
Groomsman
Laura's fiancé and better half. Benson is always quick to lend a hand to friends and family. Whether it is doing a quick stop to NY for sandwiches, or eating pho at family dinner on Sundays, Benson is always up for anything, and will bring a radiant smile with him! We have gotten closer as time has gone on and I am happy we will both officially become family!
Jill & Tucker AKA Papa/Grandma
Parents of the Groom
These two have been married for 40+ years, and together, have 3 children, and 4 grandchildren. They are each others' best friends and are a great example for what a marriage should look like. Throughout all the craziness that happens in 40 years, they still are inseparable!
Sang & Tuoi AKA Mami/Babi
Parents of the bride
These two have been married for 30+ years and together, have 3 children. Both of them individually, as young adults, left their country-and everything they know- to move across the world and start a new life. When you think about their story, it is hard not to believe that everything happens for a reason! Their courage and hard-working nature is something to admire. Any time you need a home cooked meal, their door is always open.
Judy AKA Granny
Grandmother of the groom
The sweetest soul you'll every meet, Granny has a heart full of love-for people and animals alike. She is an artist who creates beautiful handmade cards for every occasion, each one filled with thoughtful words and her signature warmth. Whether she is painting, crafting, or spoiling her cat Roxy, she brings kindness and creativity to everything she does. We are so lucky to have her as part of our special day!
