Wedding Party
Trinh Bui
Matron of Honor
Meet Trinh! Trinh, a creative type, is married to Phat Lieu, a non creative type, which works out perfectly! She has two wonderful children named, Theodore and Elodie. They are extremely energetic which means the house looks like it got hit by a tornado 80% of the time. It’s usually wild with the Lieu family but always extremely fun! Trinh, "This isn’t a story about how I met Loan, but my growth with her. She is my first cousin, which means we were automatically each other’s first best friends. From days of playing house in cardboard boxes, to pretend back yard weddings, we experienced a pretty joyful childhood with one another. Now many years later into adulthood, we are still each other’s best friend, living real lives in real homes. And this time around, I won’t be standing beside her in our backyard as she marries the boy in our neighborhood, but instead, to the love of her life! I am extremely thankful for our friendship and look forward to our children getting to experience the same as what we had."
Vincent Pham
Best Man
Meet Vincent! Vincent is very easy going person who enjoys fitness and working out (sometimes to the extremes). Vincent finds family a huge part of his life and he would do anything for the ones he loves. Vincent, "You ever meet somebody in your life that no matter how long you guys go without talking, the second that you see that person, you pick up exactly where you left off? Andy has been that person for me for 20+ years. We've been through everything together and will continue to go through more. Us meeting was more of a formality since we are cousins, that seed grew into a beautiful friendship consisting of idiotic ideas, funny moments, and even more serious troubles. We are truly best friends in every sense and I can't wait to share in the joys of this next chapter in his life."
Jamie Lee
Matron of Honor
Meet Jamie! Jamie enjoys taking spontaneous trips and eating good with her husband Peter. Mom to Jules & John Paul aka "JP" (cats) and Stitch (dog). She spends her free time designing and finding furniture hacks for their new build and loves spending time with her family and friends and serving others. Jamie, "I met Loan in the 1st grade in religious education class at The Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Seeing both Loan and Trinh every week and church becoming our 'hangout spot' on the weekends, we quickly became known as the trio. Since they were cousins, they took me in as their own family and claimed me as an official 'cousin' because best friends just wasn’t enough and we have been inseparable since. Loan has been my travel buddy since we were kids from being summer camp counselors to cruise ships to all inclusive trips, she has always been my favorite person to go on adventures with, but now our travels are even greater with our favorite men to come along and experience this beautiful life with. I am so grateful we can always be forever young and continue these next chapters, together!"
Brandon Vong
Groomsman
Meet Brandon! Brandon has always been the adventurous type who is ready to push the boundaries on the creative, physical, and mental outlooks in life. His boldness comes from the charismatic older figures in his family who have taught him to be passionate about the little things in life and compassionate for those around him. Brandon, "What’s a brotherhood without a little bit of competition, or a lot of it? For as long as I can remember we were always competing in one way or another. It’s what drove our sanity when we were bored and it’s what made us the brothers we are today. I’m not really sure when we stopped competing for petty wins and started to compete for a better life for mom and dad but I’m so glad we did. It’s in our competitive nature to give the loved ones around us a better life, and it always will be. I am beyond grateful for the experiences we’ve shared together and cannot wait to see what the future holds for our expanding family as you marry your best friend."

Heather Caraway
Officiant
Meet Heather! Heather lives in Austin, TX with Luke, her husband of 9 years, and two boys Deacon (4yrs) and Easton (9mos). Heather and Luke met in high school and have known each other for over 20 years. Their favorite things to do together as a couple and family are traveling, new food experiences, new adventures, and quality time. Heather, "I met Loan in the Starbucks café at Dell in Oklahoma City. I covered her sales segment and her leader connected us as he thought we would have a lot in common and could help each other in our budding careers. Little did I know that a 30 minute coffee would be a match made in friendship heaven. Loan and I quickly became very close. We bonded over our mutual love of killing ourselves with a good work out, good food, bingeing Netflix in bed (especially reality television), and openly sharing our stream of conscious thoughts with each other (this means we rarely stop talking). Loan has shown up for me in so many ways over the last four years and I am so honored and excited that I get to show up for her and Andy on this very special day. She is one of those friends that you come across only once in a while – one that makes you better just by knowing her - and I feel beyond lucky that our paths crossed and for the friendship we have today."
