Stacy & Stephen
Wedding Party
Rena Song
Maid of Honor
The sister I never asked for and the one person who knows all my secrets. She and I were both bound by our family ties, but our mutual annoyance of each other some how ended up being the strongest bond in our friendship. If I'm in ANY emergent scenario and Suin is unavailable for whatever reason, call Rena Song. Don't call my mom, don't call my dad, definitely not my brothers or grandparents... Call Rena Song because she will get to me faster than the ambulance.
Sally Kwak
Bridesmaid
We met when she was a freshmen in college. Basically, I forced my friendship on Sally when Suin would leave me over the weekends to go back home to his family and I was too afraid to sleep by myself. We connected over Secret Garden (OG KDrama) and our mutual obsession over desserts. Sally is the empath queen and through her, I learned and am still learning, to respond better to people crying around me.
Jane Cho
Bridesmaid
We met in UTD through mutual friends and I never thought she would become someone this important in my life. Jane is hilarious and she doesn't even realize it. You text her 'how are you?' and she'll text you back how she is... weeks later. She's that 1 friend who only shows you how much she wants to and it can take years before you really get to know her, but Jane is worth the wait.
Alison Lee
Bridesmaid
Name another completely opposite duo; Alison and I are complete opposites, but we really fill in each others' missing pieces. When I was home sick in college, she welcomed me to her home and we would drink while cooking kbbq in her living room floor with her adorable mom. Alison sets me straight when I hesitate and I set her straight when she's being difficult.
Jinyeob Kim
Best Man
We met in college at UTDallas and have seen each other grow into somewhat decent human beings from children at the ripe age of 18! Once a lost soul, now a homeowner with a steady job and always striving for the best - JY is someone irreplaceable to us both. He's a great and compassionate person who will go the distance for us when we need him the most!
Eric Chang
Groomsman
Can't speak of another person who's got the grit to overcome anything that gets thrown his way. I met Eric in medical school and we've been there for each other ever since. He went to Vanderbilt and is only one of two humans that I know who went there. Although he lives in Michigan, thousands of miles away, he's always available for consultation by phone call.
Dean Bhula
Groomsman
A part of the big 3 during residency, we spent more time at the hospital than at home in training and got to know each other as friends and as colleagues. Often awake at 5am and asleep by 8pm, he is always dependable and will drive your drunk ass home after a night out, tuck you in bed, and set your alarm.
Suneel Veerwani
Groomsman
The other part of the big 3 - Pretty much a glutton for punishment doing cardiothoracic anesthesiology, he is an honest and genuine person who I'd let administer me anesthesia if I ever needed surgery. There is not much known about his past life, but people speculate that he is prince of Pakistan.
