Wedding PartyWedding Party
KatrinaKatrina
Maid of Honor (she/her)
Katrina met Ming while working in 2017 and was instantly wowed by her humor, amazing hair, and ability to schlep doorstopper fantasy novels across Union Square. They’ve since inflicted various terrors upon each other, from Chinese Drama obsession (Ming’s fault) to rabbit parenthood (Katrina’s fault). Ask her about her unmanageable menagerie.
EdwardEdward
Best Man (he/him)
Nicks Older Brother - he first met Nick as a small three day old infant and didn't get the hype. He is an accountant who relocated to London and now adds the letter U to words like Color and insists on using the metric system for everything. He's a big fan of making Indian feasts and pizza at home (though never together - yet!) As him about chicken LIBOR
FionnaFionna
Bridesmaid (she/her)
I’m Ming’s cousin and I just moved out to the East Coast from Colorado. I’m a science journalist covering all kinds of chemistry. I have a growing collection of indie boardgames and would love more recommendations. I’m also getting into fiber arts—ask me about 2D needle felting.
Matt RossiMatt Rossi
Groom's Party (he/him)
Matt and Nick first met through a mutual friend at a board game cafe. He and Nick quickly became good friends, bonding over shared experiences in the tech world, and a mutual love of hiking and nature walks. Matt is also perhaps one of Nick's most well-travelled friends - ask him about his latest trip abroad!!
LeontineLeontine
Bridesmaid (she/her)
The younger twin of Ming's sisters. She didn't want to write her own bio or provide her own picture so here we go: Ming will never recover from the fact that the baby of the family is taller than her. Ask her about where she got the audacity and if she'd agree to having her ankles cut off to get her below Ming's height
David-EvanDavid-Evan
Groom's Party (they/them)
Hiya! My name is David-Evan and I am Ming’s younger sib, which is how I met Nick. I am an environmental engineer for the water department in Philadelphia and I love to garden in my spare time. I am a huge fan of the WNBA so please come ask me anything New York Liberty related!
MiriamMiriam
Bridesmaid (she/her)
the older twin of Ming's sisters. She didn't want to write her own bio or provide her own picture so here we go: she's only one with any sense of direction in the family; every single person in the family has at one point or another gone to their knees begging Miriam to figure out how the heck we're getting home. Ask her how you're getting home
Matt RosenthalMatt Rosenthal
Groom's Party (he/him)
Nick and I met at Brooklyn College! While we had different majors and hobbies, we were always supportive of each other's interests. Nick once memorized the entire discography of my favorite band the night before coming to their show! Nowadays, we enjoy playing board games together, talking about robots, and engaging in general tomfoolery. Ask me how many guitars I have...(a lot).
CynthiaCynthia
Bridesmaid (she/her)
Ming has been one of my dearest friends since high school. We founded a manga and anime club, devoured mountains of dim sum, became pet parents, were in the Room Where It Happens, and continue to ground and lift each other. Ask me about being in a centrifuge.
AutumnAutumn
Groom's Party (she/they)
Nick and I met in college, roaming similar halls in the comp sci department and hanging out in the time between classes. We’ve bonded over games and the general absurdity of life. One time we won water guns in a poetry writing contest and took them to a massive water gun battle in Central Park. Ask me about my cats: Panini 🐱 and Boba 🐱!
MimiMimi
Bridesmaid (they/them)
I met Ming and Nick at another wedding, believe it or not! We love to talk about D&D, help out one another through the wild ride of life, and most importantly, play board games. I am excited to help and celebrate with Ming and Nick, as they have done the same for me and my wife, Charlie, when we got married. Ask me about Touhou and/or my cats, Yama and Ludo!
PatrickPatrick
Groom's Party (he/him)
Tigers, Wolves, and Bears! Oh my.. all the way back to the world of Cub Scouts is when Nick & I first met. (Ask us how long ago that was!) Bonding on camping trips, on a battleship, to bonding over board game nights with a little bit of Halo that would last till the sun rise, and sometimes till the next sunrise & sometimes till the next sunrise…
AndrewAndrew
Ring Bearer (he/him)
Ming's brother. He's forgotten more about dogs and big cats than you could ever have hoped to learn in your entire life. Ask him about his service dog Jango!
TildaTilda
Flower Girl (she/her)
Ming's sister. The real star of the day, Tilda is a budding gymnast who would be thrilled to show you her floor routine any day of the week. Ask her about how she's going to be the next Simone Biles
RaeRae
Officiant (she/her)
On her first week at Amplify, Rae was greeted by an origami sloth, a welcome gift from Nick which kicked off a friendship that would last even outside of work. When Rae met Ming, they also became fast besties bonding over their love of Broadway and big hugs! Ming officiated the wedding of Rae and her now-husband Matt, so now it's Rae's turn to unite two of her best friends. Ask her about corgis.
