Wedding Party
Anna Marie Mores
Maid of Honor
Annamarie was my very first friend back in Pre-K. Our moms basically arranged it, and luckily, it stuck. From track meets and basketball games to our adult adventures, she’s been by my side, always showing up as her authentic, goofy self. She's the definition of a real one: she’ll give you a good laugh, a solid gym pump, and create social media content for you like a pro.
Tiffany Nguyen
Matron of Honor
Tiffany and I have been inseparable since freshman year of high school. She’s my soul sister, my sounding board, and the first call when I need the latest tea. When we show up together, it’s guaranteed good vibes and just a little bit of chaos. She’s loyal, the queen of the roast, and a master prankster, so don’t believe everything she says!
Lindsay Fowler
Bridesmaid
Lindsay and I met at Texas A&M in Aggie Gems and instantly clicked! She’s been one of my lifelong friends ever since. I can always count on her for honest opinions, endless laughs, and solid advice. She’s incredibly smart, a total force on the dance floor, and even inspired me to complete my first half marathon. If you're ever in need of a great read, she’s your girl - she’s TikTok-famous for her book recs!
Sophia Le
Bridesmaid
Sophia is my cousin by blood but truly a sister by choice. She's always had my back, whether I deserved it or not. We did everything together.. I even dragged her to her first house party, which ended with a police visit and a very awkward ride home with her parents (you’re welcome). She’s now taking over NYC as an attorney, proving that bad decisions do build character.
Cherie Nguyen
Bridesmaid
I first met Cherie when I was living in California through her (very lucky!) now-husband, Austin, and immediately thought, wow, what a catch. She lights up every room with her warmth, beauty, and kindness, always putting others first and inspiring us with her healthy lifestyle. No matter what, I can always count on her to show up, sometimes even flying in for less than 24 hours!
Victoria Nguyen
Bridesmaid
Victoria and I met in college and instantly bonded over our shared love of a good time (and a good happy hour). She introduced me to all the Houston hot spots: Oishii’s legendary happy hour, wine and hookah nights at Mary’s, and even handed me my very first fake I.D., a true rite of passage. Through every milestone, she’s always been my biggest cheerleader.
Patrick Ching
Best Man
My real blood—my younger brother and lifelong partner in crime. We’ve been inseparable since the days before smartphones, when fun meant BMX bikes, backyard tackle football, and spraying each other with the hose… which usually ended in a fight, but then playing again five minutes later. We were always at the restaurant bored, but we always managed to find something to do like going outside and throwing rocks at each other. He’s also the first person who put me on to fashion—gave me the slickest tux, and the rest is history. Growing up with him gave me some of my best memories, and I wouldn’t trade our bond for anything.
Zephaniah Seung
Best Man
He was the coolest cousin—hands down. My brother and I loved following him around. When we got into his car it meant windows down, rap music blasting, full music video energy… until we got back to his parents’ house and got busted for the explicit lyrics. Next thing you know, we were reciting Bible verses and, on our knees, praying as punishment. The same guy who introduced us to hip-hop and gangster rap somehow also Made Christianity Cool Again! Our late-night convos in my parents’ living room were legendary: deep talks, nonstop laughs, and, of course, picking on Patrick. Even though he’s in New York now, he’s still my go-to for advice and support.
Tim Kuo
Groomsman
I met this next guy at the Roadrunner Café for the first time and the first thing he asks me, “Do you want to go to a party in Austin?”—and that pretty much set the tone for our friendship. At first, we weren't that close, but I’d see him playing tennis every day (still not sure how with that body shape), and eventually we started hooping and hanging out more. He took me to my first basketball game, my first concert, and even gave me my first... well, let’s just say he “expanded my horizons.” Jokes aside, he made college unforgettable and showed me how to really enjoy life.
Will Lee
Groomsman
My college roommate and the first Taiwanese guy I thought might actually be my twin—we clicked instantly. We were both tall, loved sports, and were so competitive that we’d sometimes stop talking after a tough loss in Madden or pickup ball. Together, we helped turn Epic Movement at UTSA into more than a campus ministry—it became a whole social scene, with late-night gym sessions, hangouts, and the legendary Turkey Trot Bowl. College wouldn’t have been the same without him.
Austin Tran
Groomsman
This next guy is someone I’ve known the longest—he was my brother’s childhood friend who naturally became mine, especially since there weren’t many other Asian kids around growing up. Our go-to hangout was Lifetime, where we’d show up late at night, annoyed the workers, hooped, worked out (or so we thought), hit the steam room, then the sauna, and finally end in the jacuzzi—always in that order. We always gave the poor night shift workers a hard time because we were the only ones that came to the gym at midnight and screwed things up. The night was capped by raiding his dad’s 7-Eleven for expired sandwiches and free Slurpees. Those late-night missions and gym sessions are some of my favorite childhood memories.
Dean Ong
Groom
I first got close to him after he came to me heartbroken from a breakup. I had just gone through one myself, so I invited him out to help take his mind off things. He wasn’t much of a partier at the time, but after a few wild nights—and me pretending I was already at the party to get him moving—he caught on to my humor, and we’ve been inseparable ever since. From hitting raves to making unforgettable memories, somewhere along the way he transformed into a full-on energizer bunny who somehow never runs out of steam. These days, we even work together in real estate—and truthfully, he’s helped me more than I ever could’ve imagined.
