Plua & Chengbay
Wedding Party & Family
Lizzy Xiong
Maid of Honor
One of my best friends. We grew up together in church. During our youth group days, all the youth girls had a boyfriend & were taken except us. They all had anniversary dates, so Lizzy & I decided that we should be ‘together’ and made up our own little anniversary dates. Little did we know that even til this day our ‘anniversary dates’ ended up being a regular routine of 'get-togethers' & we still find time to hangout through our busy schedules.
Vue Xiong
Best Man
A friend, cousin, roommate, and housemate. I have known him ever since we were kids. We have done a lot together, especially during elementary. One thing about him is, you can never out argue him. He is too good!
Bao Chang
Bridesmaid
Another one of my best friends. We also grew up in the church together with many hangouts, sleepovers, talk of friendships & relationships, and memories together. Throughout life we were able to catch up through the different seasons of our lives. I’m so blessed to have shared being engaged together & having her by my side as we both stress as brides-to-be.
Houa Vang
Groomsman
He was my go to guy when I needed someone to talk to. This guy is extremely wise in a lot of things he says. He can sing and woo many women's heart, and probably why he is married.
Vee Xiong (Vendy)
Bridesmaid
We became instant friends since high school when she moved to Wisconsin. Since then, we have shared many memories of; almost failing Anatomy and Physiology together at SPASH, our youth group days, talks of boys, relationships, & family, all the way up until she got married, to our interest of photography & fashion. I feel so honored to have her use her talented skills to be the designer & maker of my wedding dress! What a dream come true!
Chu Vue
Groomsman
He will be my go to car guy. We can talk about cars all day! We had played basketball together in a tournament, and was undefeated on the losing bracket. One thing that I will remember most about him is, when my sister Maly was in the hospital, he texted me saying, "you are not alone. If you need someone to talk to, I am here for you. I am praying for you."
Stephanie Thao
Bridesmaid
Stephanie is the youngest sister of Chengbay. She was the first sister to meet Plua at SALT 2015. She played a significant role in our relationship as Chengbay forced her to use her car to drive all the way up to surprise Plua at SALT 2017 to third wheel us. Plua is excited to finally gain sisters as she's the only daughter in her family.
Luke Her
