Michelle & Chris
wedding Party
Kristen Quan
Maid of Honor
I am beyond thrilled and honored to support my favorite sister in her wedding, marriage, and life! She has seen me at my best and worst and I'm happy to help her make this the best day of her life (since my birth, of course). My Maid of Honor duties can be considered payback for all the times I stole her clothes in middle school. Should you have any inquiries about logistics, the registry, and especially day-of requests, please feel free to shoot them over to me!
Gabriel Chu
Best Man
Hello everyone! I am Chris’ annoying little brother who he can’t shake off. We met in the 90’s and, after all the years of torment that I’ve given him, he still keeps me around. We used to be roommates, too, for about 10 years until he got sick and tired of my nonsense. But in all seriousness, Chris always had my back when we were growing up. He supported me throughout my academic career and throughout my life. I am thankful for the opportunity to stand by his side on one of the biggest days of his life.

Michelle and I met in high school PE when we both wanted zero part in soccer or school issued ugly shorts. We went shopping at Stonestown and she didn't stop me from buying these ugly jeans with questionable back pockets and I knew we were best friends. You are my number 1 co-conspirator and soulmate and if things don't work out with Chris you always have a backup. #MICHELLECHRISFOREVER+HILARY

I have been friends with Chris for over 15 years since we were freshmen in high school. Throughout the years, I have given him many names: best friend, closest friend, my skinny Chinese friend. Or, as I liked to call him, he is one leg of a tripod. He was given this name along with the others because he has been a huge support and influence in my life. Through the good and bad, I always know he will be there.

Bridesmaid
Michelle and I locked eyes from across the room in college and I knew she would be the avocado to my toast for years to come. I trust this Coupon Queen with my life, including dying my virgin hair years ago. Our love affair with ramen and cajun shrimp helped nourish our relationship in the early days. Nowadays, her love for cardio, my hate for cardio, and our love for Bo and Berns keeps our friendship as strong as Bo's appetite.

I first met Chris during my junior year at UCI. It was nice to know he grew up in the Bay Area so we instantly had a connection. First impressions of Chris? Chris seemed to be quiet and reserved, but this is NOT TRUE. There is a wild and deep dark side to him. Michelle–BE CAREFUL. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Of course, I am just joking. Chris is honestly one of the most genuine and kind-hearted people I know. Over the years, Chris has frequently reached out to me, even if we were hundreds of miles apart. He even took the time to listen to my issues when it had nothing to do with him. Chris is simply someone you can count on no matter what happens. I am blessed to know Chris and consider him as one of my closest friends. Chris and Michelle, I wish you a lifetime of joy and I am so happy for you.

Bridesmaid
Michelle and I met in high school, back when baggy sweatshirts, flared jeans & extreme highlights were all the rage. We had lunch together every day, climbing through an illicit hole in the school's fence to get to Stonestown, sharing stories and our love for Boudin's Dutch crunch & Hot Cheetos. One summer, we took Health Ed, and our friendship was solidified the day we had to demonstrate to the entire class how to use a sponge as contraceptive. Even as friend groups shifted through high school & college, Michelle remains one of my best friends. We have seen each other through life's highs & lows, with a few drinks (and several bottles of wine) carrying us through, and I know we will stay in each other's lives through the next chapter and beyond. Who else do she and Chris know in Oakland?
Viet Nguyen
Groomsman
Viet and Chris met in their 3rd year of college, after Chris transferred to UC Irvine, and was adopted into their group of friends. They bonded over late night hangouts and K-Pop, though Viet could never hope to match Chris' dance moves. Viet shares, and definitely surpasses, Chris's love of wine and Michelle's healthy obsession with dinnerware. You can find him roaming around with a drink in hand.

As Michelle previously shared with me, “We are sisters through our misters!” I could not have said that any better. Familial ties aside, we are truly sisters in spirit. It’s rare to find a friendship and connect so well early on, yet we have developed a mutual understanding for just about anything in such a short amount of time. It’s great to find someone to just click with and that is definitely what we have here!
Khang Vu
Groomsman
Friends since college days, and first bonded over gaming – specifically StarCraft. Instead of going separate ways after graduating, both returned home to the Bay Area. They probably developed a taste for whiskey around the same time.

Bridesmaid
Michelle and I met at Lowell- some of my earliest and best memories were of the two of us going on McDonald's expeditions during photography class and hanging out at our secret cove in the science building. We've had numerous life changing adventures and I can confidently say we wouldn't be the women we are today without each other. We've grown out of our (what seemed like daily) fried chicken chases; you can now find us at Veganburg instead.

It was love at first sight! I knew right away that Chu was my evil twin brother. There was just a two-letter difference separating our names, among other inconsequential differences. We survived 3.5 years of public accounting together! It was a journey filled with difficult situations, decisions and long work hours. But Chu was supportive/helpful by listening to my troubles and suggested solutions. His support was a one of the main reasons why I lasted so long in public accounting. As a friend, he encourages me to try new things, while respecting my comfort zone. I really appreciate that he keeps me in his thoughts. I would return the favor by playing video games with him, but he is so bad that he never wins. :)
