Our People

Michelle Jong

Bride

Joel Julian Ramos

Groom

Andrew Lee

Officiant

Andrew has been a close family friend for nearly two decades. He is the godfather/uncle to our kids and even shares the same birthday with the groom. Don't let his modesty fool you! He is a phenomenal event planner, a trustworthy advisor, and the most amazing best friend anyone could ask for. We are so honored that he is able to join us together in marriage on our big day!

Evaline Huang

Mother of the Bride

While she is not exactly the bride's biological mother, Evaline has all but raised the bride over the years as she and Michelle go way back to when Michelle was only 4 years old. We've been through countless moments together - both good and bad. Through it all, Evaline has been a constant support in Michelle's life. We couldn't think of a bigger inspiration in our life to ask to walk her down the aisle. Thank you for decades of adventures and friendship. We are looking forward to so many more!

Sharell Chance

Best Man

As a best friend and a brother to the groom, Sharell has been a consistent and true friend in the groom's life since he was 10 years old. Since becoming friends, life has taken both Joel and Sharell through so many trials and, with the support of one another, they have conquered the obstacles that have come their way. Looking back over the 15 years of memories and brotherly love, we are elated and grateful to be able to celebrate one of the biggest days of our lives with Sharell right beside us!

Jennifer Chen

Maid of Honor

In fitting with the Neighborhood Crew theme, Jennifer has been best friends with Michelle since they met at the bus stop in elementary school. Since then, life has taken us on all sorts of roller coasters, but Jennifer has always been a rock and a perfect example of the good in the world that we all strive for. As such, we couldn't imagine having our big day without her involved! We are so happy that Jennifer is able to join us as a part of the wedding party!
