Wedding Party
Ashly Kim
Matron of Honor
Sherry and Ashly are like fine wine and good cheese. They age gracefully, they've known each other a long time, and they love being at social gatherings where their's juicy gossip, deep conversation, and good vibes. Fine wine is always teaching good cheese new things, like how to handle alcohol better, how to tell Ross you're mad at him, and how to sing the harmony of a duet. We may not know what good cheese has taught fine wine, but we do know that they just go well together and they can't wait to celebrate fine wine's ultimate pairing with her wagyu beef.
Julie Zheng
Matron of Honor
Our friendship story is sort of like a childhood fairytaile. We first met as little preschool buddies then took a brief detour at different elementary schools-only to be reunited in middle school like it was meant to be. From there, our friendship only grew stronger through high school and all the way to college, where we became roommates for five whole years! People say living with your best friend is risky, but we proved everyone wrong.
Alice Li
Bridesmaid
Sherry and I go way back- all the way from middle school homeroom! From cowriting a song about a breakup (that, honestly we have no idea how we created at middle school age) to late-night adventures, karaoke sessions, and even becoming doggie pawrents together, we've shared it all. Sherry is the natural spark of every gathering and the ultimate superhost, making sure everyone has a drink in hand, a smile on their face, and a fun secret to tell by the end of the night. But more than that, she is an amazing friend-always ready to listen, laugh, and celebrate. I'm beyond ecstatic to stand by her side as she says "I Do" to the love of her life!
Leslie Wong
Bridesmaid
When Sherry’s sunshine meets Leslie’s moonlight, memories start breathing. From after school hangouts to overseas adventures (literally, cause we all from da a’ina), their friendship simply clicks. 相知无远近，万里尚为邻 - 张九龄 (唐) "No distance parts true friendship, even oceans apart, we remain neighbors at heart”. This Tang Dynasty verse still captures them perfectly today. And if you look around, you’ll spot Leslie—ever the observer—quietly taking it all in next to her gentle giant of a husband.
Grace Lu
Bridesmaid
Grace and Sherry first met in the fourth grade, but their friendship really took off in middle school when they decided to form their own girl pop group with 4 other friends - complete with one original song and endless K-pop dance routines in the orchestra room. Their musical bond didn't stop there - they played in the orchestra together all the way through high school.
Ross Tanaka
Best Man
Even though my face sometimes shows disgust when Evan displays affection towards me, we all know that deep down, I enjoy it. Sherry and Evan are the reason I met my wife, whom I now share a wonderful son with. He'll never let me forget that I owe my family to him. Jokes aside, he knows I love him and I'm so happy to be sharing this special moment with him as one of his groomsmen (again, despite what my face is showing).
Teng Yu Wang
Groomsman
We met through Sherry and Julie, whose close friendship naturally brought all of us together. At first, we were just familiar faces at the same gatherings, but late-night hangouts soon changed that. With drinks in hand and endless games, out conversations and laughter turned into a real friendship, strengthened by unforgettable trips to Japan and Vegas. From dancing and gambling, every adventure brought us closer, turning casual meetups into a bond on wild nights and lifelong memories.
Christopher Okawa
Groomsman
Chris met Evan through Ross, his housemate at the time, during the peak of the pandemic. The heightened time of social distancing, ironically, was the driving factor behind the start of one of their closest friendships. One “hangove... I mean hangout” turned into two, which quickly became weekly get-togethers filled with endless laughs, games, deep conversations, and of course, the karaoke. My god, do they both love karaoke. Their shared love of singing eventually led to the formation of Chris' Angels, their band with the bride, Sherry, as the other main member of the trio. A bunch of dinners, holiday hangouts, birthday celebrations, bucketlist concerts, vacations, and trips to Toma Karaoke later, Chris is honored to stand by Evan as a friend, band member, drinking buddy, and Groomsman.
Kyle Sakai
Groomsman
Kyle is Evan's younger brother. Having known Evan the longest of anyone here, he's excited to add a S.I.L. to the family, as well as commends Sherry for having already spent a decade of her life with him. Jokes aside, Kyle is honored to stand by his brother's side during this happy occasion.
