Wedding Party
Kimberly Gleason
Matron of Honor
Never have I EVER met someone so similar to myself. I am so lucky to have met her in 2015 on a crazy floor at the Queen's Medical Center. Our favorite thing to do in our free time is go to every single craft fair on the island and talk on the phone for hours. She has three children and they know me as the "Baking Aunty."
Daniel Kim
Best Man
Dan married my sister and became a part of our family over 10 years ago and our relationship has grown so much. He and my sister were also my roommates for 5 years! And in that time, I learned a lot about what it takes to have a strong marriage. The hardships, the love, the sacrifices and the importance of God in this sacred relationship. His cooking rival that of Chef Roy, and his creative mind is truly remarkable. He is an amazing artist, husband, father, and I would love to have a family just like his and my sister's.
Courtney Yamane
Bridesmaid
We call each other "Hubby." She is the only person that can match all of my facial expressions to a tee, especially the triple chin. She is my go-to for when I need a fellow foodie and we are constantly sending each other new food places to try. Plus, her daughter, Luna, is one of my BFFs!!!
Bijan Mandanizadeh
Groomsman
My oldest friend. Our relationship is so old, the line between brother and best friend blends together. He is smart and hilarious, and keeps me level headed. I can't count how many times this man has been there for me and my family, and you wouldn't know me if you didn't know who Bijan was. I know his appetite for success will always keep him hungry to achieve more, and I wouldnt expect anything less from him.
Kristina Tangalin
Bridesmaid
She is my #cabgurl808 from Kaua'i. We met in nursing school and have been inseparable since. I can always count on her to be down for all food and any trips. We are a dynamic duo when we are out on the town. There's no stopping us on the dance floor!
Kalani Thompson
Groomsman
Kalani is one of the most talented people I know. He is the definition of putting your mind and heart into something and excelling at it. He put all his love and focus into music and Rocket League. He reached the level of Grand Champion and now works for one of the top producers in Hollywood. Kalani is the type of friend you want standing next to you through adversity or adventure, and I'm happy to have him by my side.
Kelcie Gokan
Bridesmaid
If you ever want to meet someone that has more energy than I do, meet Kelcie. She is the best hype woman you could ever meet! She’s an engineer by day and a plant woman by night. I am so lucky to have her as my friend and Tequila buddy!
Bao Nguyen
Groomsman
What a gangster! Bao always has your back. He may put up a strong front, but don’t let this man fool you, he has the heart of a golden retriever, and the loyalty of one too! All those times I just needed a friend, I could just call Bao and he would be there, for anything.
Val Youkhana
Bridesmaid
A few phrases that sum up who Val is. These are what I like to call “Val-isms.” What is our governor’s name? Hagi, Guy Hagi right? IT’S DARTH VADER? I thought it was Dark Vader because he wears black. This might be a stupid question but...how do you call the fire department?
Kenani Sasao
Groomsman
My big brother, with the biggest heart, and kindest soul, who doesn't love Kenani? All you want is for him to just hug you, and you knew everything would be okay. I had many moments where I relied on him, and knowing he was there always made me feel more comfortable. My surfer buddy, rave partner, and adventure friend, I could always rely on him making everything more fun.
Tobi
Flower Girl
Tobi is a 9 year old Pomeranian/Dachshund that loves to cuddle and play. Her favorite words are chicken, eat, walk, and car ride. She is a full time beggar and lazy potato.
Leo
Ring Bearer
Leo is a 10 year old Schipperke that was adopted from the Humane Society. He was formerly a gangster roaming the streets of Waianae. He likes to bury his treasures and enjoys zooming around the house. He is a full time spazz.
