Maid of Honor
Yuri and Michelle first met in middle school and have been best friends ever since. Their friendship blossomed in high school and they were inseparable. They did everything together whether it was sneaking off during their lunch period to get Thai Cottage, quick runs to Chick-fil-a or the mall, piercing each others ears, or sneaking out of the house to go clubbing. Everyone pretty knew them as a 2 for 1 special! Yuri was Michelle's inspiration to apply to the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and even though they were separated halfway across the country when they went off to college in California and NY, no distance could come between this friendship. Fast forward to today, both are now reunited in California and happy to report that they are still 2 peas in a pod.

Michelle's first vivid memory of Carol was at the age of 8 when their dad's pretty much forced them upon each other at dim sum one day. Carol was wearing a ballerina outfit and offered to let Michelle make a bracelet from her string box and knew from that point on they would be friends forever. Their friendship has endured countless sleepovers, hours of journaling, fishing trips in Galveston, and Spice Girl dress up parties. Not only are they God Sister's, but they are also hiking/camping partners in crime. Carol showed her the ropes of camping and really roughing it on their first camping trip together to Death Valley. Carol's carefree spirit and Michelle's slightly OCD planner personalities compliment each other like peanut butter and jelly.
Bridesmaid
1 of 3 of the original RBF trio. Michelle first met Christina through their close mutual friend, Steph aka Skan/Skanimal, in NYC while Christina and now husband, Vincent, were visiting. Not long after Michelle moved back to Houston from the Big Apple, Michelle and Christina soon bonded over their love for Lululemon, yummy food, cooking, spin class/yoga, hatred for heels, and embracing the granny life. When both are not busy being home bodies, you'd occasionally find them out in Houston making an appearance at the Commoner, Concrete Cowboy, or partying and and trying to relive their college days in Vegas. All the mentioned occasions were EXTREMELY rare, but when together they always have a fun time :)

A meeting through destiny when both Hanna and Michelle were hired as seasonal educators at Lululemon in Houston, little did they know that their meeting would become a lifelong friendship. From the first moment Hanna whispered to Michelle as she ended her shift that day at Lulu "hey you should text me" she thought to herself "who me?" *eyes looking around*... That day on, they texted and snapped each other about EVERYTHING! #longestfriendsnapstreak Not only did Michelle gravitate to Hanna's warm and inviting personality, but also Hanna's family, whom are amazing (shout out to Ellie and Madeline). They shared their love for The Bachelor and Halo Top and can always count on Hanna to send her funny but extremely true memes. Their friendship is nothing short of laughter and gossip.

In a city as large as New York City, Michelle managed to make 1 out of a small handful of true genuine, tell you how it is friends. Michelle and Judy actually first met in a night class at FIT and Michelle thought Judy was this know it all smarty pants Asian chick who kept raising her hand in class asking way to many questions. That class led to another shared class and then they soon bonded over their love for fashion, the beach, food, and adventures of finding the best sweet treats in the city. They explored the city together for years, but both realizing their love hate relationship with the city led them both to end up in sunny California. You'll most likely find them hanging out at the beach the entire day, that's right, the ENTIRE day, that's friendship!

Won-Joo and Michelle actually first met through Yuri in high school and soon enough the 3 became best friends. Michelle and Won-Joo both admired the finer things and life and were never shy of shopping sprees at the Galleria or enjoying a nice meal out together. Although they've basically lived half their lives in different states, nothing stops the 2 of them from picking up right where they last left off. Michelle can always count on Won-Joo to put things into perspective and is the rational one in the friendship. Even though Won-Joo is the responsible one, Michelle could always count on her to make her laugh and ensure they had fun anywhere they went. Let's just say, Won-Joo could probably out drink anyone she knew!
