Wedding Party
Tina
Matron of Honor
Big-T. The perfect child. My role model. My roomie. My sistafriend. Tina was the one who took me in when I had no home (aka when Teresa was too cool to share a room with her baby sis). She let me share her bunk bed, her soup (mainly because she didn’t want to drink it), and her secrets (just kidding, I definitely read her diary in secret, then got caught). Growing up, I wanted to be just like her. I eavesdropped on her phone calls, memorized her SAT vocab (as a 3rd grader), and even took French in high school just so we could have a secret language Teresa wouldn’t understand. Tina is the definition of style, loyalty, and quiet strength. She never asked to be a role model, but she was the best one a baby sis could’ve asked for.
David
Best Man
Big brother, mentor, and the golden child. Always the better dressed between us, I’ll give you that; but you've never beaten me in a WWE match. I still hold the championship belt thanks to my signature move, “the sit down” (being twice your weight had its perks). You sparked my love for hiking and camping, and your generosity - especially those Giants and Warriors, tickets never went unnoticed. You've always cared for me, motivated me, and believed in me. I couldn’t imagine this day without you standing beside me.
Teresa
Matron of Honor
Middle-T. My confidant. The cool sis. The fun one. The one with the kindest heart and the best laughs. Teresa has always been effortlessly cool, endlessly generous, and somehow both my best friend and my second mom all at once. She’s been there for every single stage of life, going above and beyond to take care of me in ways I didn’t even know I needed. Teresa is my safe place, even when she’s miles away. We have a million memories together - from getting scolded by dad for hyena-laughing too loud (sorry, not sorry) to our chaotic adventures, pretty much anywhere. She knew Andy was the one for me from day one - because sis always knows best. And now, somehow, she and Andy are basically besties too. Honestly? I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Lawrence
Groomsman
When I first met Lawrence, he was rocking a triple XL Yankees jacket, had the most intense RBF I’d ever seen, and his very first words to me were, “Who do you want me to beat up?” And somehow… that’s how our friendship began. Since then, we’ve bonded over dim sum mornings, Iron Chef-style cook-offs (with me as the very official judge), and playing all the sports you can think of. But behind the tough guy persona, Lawrence is one of the most loyal, dependable people I know. He’s the kind of friend who shows up - whether it’s dropping off Tiff’s favorite snack in our mailbox or helping me plan and pull off the perfect proposal. On a day this big, there’s no one else I’d rather have standing beside me than this rock-solid, ride-or-die friend.
Cecily
Bridesmaid
Cecily. My ride-or-die for nearly 3 decades, since kindergarten. We’ve literally grown up together, from playing Chinese jump rope on the playground to taking turns having our dads pick us up from all over SF. Through all of it, she’s been the one I could always count on, no matter what. She’s the epitome of the perfect emergency contact, because I know she’ll show up and follow through, no questions asked. Cecily is the kind of friend who’s reliable, thoughtful, and calm in every situation - basically, she’s the glue that keeps everything together.
Benjamin
Groomsman
He helped seal the deal on my very first home by christening the toilet during the open house - truly, a blessing in his own unforgettable way. Ben’s quirks are legendary, like the time he devoured 7 entrees, 5 sugar-loaded drinks, and 2 lattes all in one sitting at the Pokémon Café in Japan. Iconic. One of my favorite memories will always be the time we perfectly nailed an SNL-inspired live performance - two hungry seagulls narrating their snack-fueled chaos. Our friendship is built on adventure, humor, and unwavering support - qualities I’ve come to count on and deeply appreciate. I’m so grateful to have Ben by my side as we share yet another milestone together.
Karen
Bridesmaid
Karen is the genius behind all my legendary nicknames: Tbunny, Bunny, Tbunz, Bunz, you name it, she coined it. Our friendship started back in middle school and has only gotten stronger through the years (along with a very large collection of blackmail-worthy photos from her digital cameras). She’s the ultimate hype woman - always cheering me on, always showing up, and always bringing the kind of energy that lights up every room. Everyone needs a Karen in their life, and I’m so lucky that she’s been such a big part of mine.
Alvin
Groomsman
The little brother I always wanted. From snowboarding adventures to Mario Party… parties… to tortilla slapping challenges - some of my favorite memories are with Alvin. Through it all, he’s been the cousin I can always count on: down for anything, reliable without fail, and someone who always shows up when it matters most. I’ll never forget telling my cousins at 11:45pm to book flights to three different cities before the midnight deadline - and Alvin just did it, no hesitation. That’s who he is. And now, I’m so grateful to have him standing by my side on the biggest day of my life.
Sheila
Bridesmaid
Sheila. Sheeps. Sheeba. Boyfriend. We were in the same SAT class (Sheila/Tiff/Andy), but our friendship started when we realized we were taking the same 2–3 buses home after school. Turns out, we lived just 3 blocks apart. Sheila would get off one stop early just to walk me home, and once she got her driver’s license, she basically became my boyfriend - driving me to and from school, going on pho dates, and taking me out on late-night boba runs (we definitely had no business staying out until 2AM… sorry Mom and Dad). Sheila was my high school sweetheart in every sense of the word - always there, always thoughtful, and always making life more fun and unforgettable.
Justin
Groomsman
Justin has been one of my closest friends for over 20 years - part of the original three amigos from high school. Whenever I needed a boost, someone to hype me up, or just a good, honest conversation, Jtrou was always there. He’s the kind of friend who’s genuinely down for anything and can spark a conversation with anyone. I will always cherish our English class antics, wrestling matches in the school basement, and countless unforgettable moments throughout the years. Now, I’m honored he’ll be standing beside me as I take on a new chapter.
Kristina
Officiant
We’re so lucky to both call Kristina "friend." Tiffany and Kristina go way back to their middle school days as handbell partners (lol), while she also played the role of Andy's "pretend" IG girlfriend (don't worry, Tiffany's totally cool with their history). From exchanging handwritten letters in French with Tiffany to traveling with Andy, Kristina has been a constant presence in both of our lives. She’s been cheering us on from the very beginning, and her support has meant everything as our relationship has grown. As a group of softies (*ahem cry babies), get ready to see some serious waterworks at the end of the aisle from all 3 of us!
