Amy Chen
Bridesmaid
Amy and Laura met while working together at Tokbox in 2017. After interviewing Amy, Laura recommended to NOT hire her but was overruled by their boss, Calvin. It took a while for this friendship to gain momentum but eventually the two learned they loved a lot of the same things: yoga, pilates, eating. The two love traveling & have taken trips together to London and Morocco and even coincidentally ran into each other in Vancouver. Amy lives in Fremont works in FP&A and is a michelin star chaser, avid traveler, and a phenomenal artist - be sure to bring a pen and paper and ask her to sketch something if you see her during happy hour.
John Carpenter

John Carpenter, Daniels groomsman and our officiant! John and Daniel met each other as kids through Daniels cousin but reconnected in their college years when John went to Fullerton. The two have since stayed close friends who still love to grab a beer at Kellys, shoot some darts, and mountain bike. John lives in So-Cal with his wife Jacqui. Fun fact, John's actually the main connection that forged Daniel & Laura's friendship.. it all started with a chicken parmesan dinner party.
Natalie Butler
Bridesmaid
Laura and Nat met in 2012 when they became roommates through another mutual friend. Crazy roommates and the love of laying out on the sunny beach for hours is what kicked off this friendship, but even after all these years and distance between the two, they've kept in touch. Natalie is one of Laura's closest friends who she can always rely on for honest good advice and to have a fun time out. Throughout 10 years of friendship theres so many great memories to think about from weekends dancing at Marlarkys to wine tasting in Temecula or attending festivals like ACL and Stagecoach. Natalie now lives in Boise with her fiance Todd and adorable pup Rainey.
Brad Moore
Groomsman
Brad and Daniel met in high school when Brad transferred to Orange Lutheran. Even though they played different sports, the two of them became fast friends. Brad lives in Scottsdale AZ with his wife Alexis. Even though these guys don't get to see each other as much as they like, they still make it a habit to keep in touch and when they do get together, it's like no time has passed
Jizell Lopez
Bridesmaid
Laura met Jizell in 2011 through Jizell's fiance, Kelly Wilga (also, Daniel's groomsman). Brought together by their partners for a Mike Posner concert, the two hit it off. Laura always has a blast, probably too much fun, when Jizell is around. Jizell lives in Sacramento with her fiance, Wilga, and sweet dog, Kaia - she is a lawyer - so be prepared to say 'allegedly' a-lot. She loves a good Bloody Mary and can make a mean queso-bean dip and salsa when asked (which is every time Laura sees her). Also fun fact that Laura loves to tell everyone, Jizell is the only person to ever beat Daniel playing Edward Fortyhands... be sure to ask her about it.. and him.
Dylan Habing
Groomsman
Daniel and Dylan met in college when Dylan went to Cal State Fullerton. Dylan and Daniel share the same sense of adventure and love for watching and playing all sports. Dylan lives in Gilroy with his fiance Sarah
