Timothy & Michelle
Wedding Party
Eric Kim
Best Man
My favorite memories of Tim were when we'd get bored out of our minds and make lots of random videos. From Mexico's Next Top Model to Davis Rangers to karaoke songs in the dorm laundry room, making videos together was something that bonded us from high school to today.

Hello! I’m Jessica, Michelle’s older sister. Having known Michelle since Day 1, it’d be impossible for me to choose just one favorite memory. When we were kids, we loved to make up dance routines to 90’s pop songs (think Britney Spears and ‘N Sync) and showcase them to our parents after many rounds of practice. It still remains one of my most vivid childhood memories to this day. As we grew older and started traveling more as a family, Michelle went from being my main dance partner to being my main travel buddy. We went from doing many road trips to LA/Disneyland when we were kids to doing our own road trip from Chicago to Boston just last year. It was a week long excursion that included a 3-star Michelin restaurant, huge roller coasters, a musical, and of course, tons of good eats!

Growing up with Tim there was never a shortage of fun. We've shared memories from when we were just kids playing hide and seek, becoming Pokemon Masters on our Gameboys and then going through college. The distance was never a huge issue for us as we would share memories in SF/NY and now this big day. Tim will always be like a brother to me and life would be dull without him.

Favorite memory? That's difficult as we have many silly ones living together in college. But one that sticks out is from our senior year. As usual, we were burning the midnight oil at our apartment. I was anxious heading out into the "real world" and having that student identity challenged. Despite us both being sleep deprived and loopy, Michelle took the time to encourage and point me back to God. It was a small moment, but it was a reminder to me of God's love and grace through others. Over the years it's been a joy to witness Michelle grow in her walk with the Lord. Also thankful that Tim was brought into her life to expedite sanctification (even if unwillingly like it is with most relationships haha). So excited to see how God will use their marriage to bring glory to His kingdom!

Growing up with Tim (and Nick), we did a lot together from Yu-Gi-Oh cards, games, camping to Tahoe trips with our families, etc. We have countless memories (literally). I know Tim to be a very fun, loyal, outgoing, and bright man who will do great things in life. He is family.

Michelle and I love to travel. We would often meet up in random cities around the US. After a gourmet food tour during a visit in SoCal, we strolled down this beautiful path at the Anaheim Packing District and started to do what we do best; come up with weirdly entertaining ideas. Wanting to take advantage of the beautiful scenery, we decided to be full fledge fashion models. After a few iPhone shots we concluded that modeling was probably not our cup of tea and we should stick to something we know best...and at that moment we became the #uglyODs

Tim, my bougie kohai, and I bond over the finer possibly debt inducing things in life. There was one night we went to a Michelin star restaurant, hopped whiskey libraries, and also met Grant Achatz. Our wallets did not like us after that night.

Michelle and I go waayyyyy back to when I was in my mama's womb. Growing up together as cousins who lived 15 minutes away from each other, we formed a close friendship over the years through family gatherings, sleepovers, Kpop dancing/Korean drama parties, spontaneous hangouts, you name it. I am grateful for Michelle’s ability to connect to and empathize with people, and her willingness to be vulnerable to others, showing me that what others deem as weakness can actually be a strength and encouragement to those who are struggling in similar ways. For those lucky enough to be in her life, she loves hard and she loves well. I am thrilled to stand next to Michelle on her special day as she weds Tim, and excited to continue walking through life together!

My favorite memory with Tim is when we went out that one night in December and discovered (our now favorite bar) Existing Conditions. Although we had been living together for almost a year, we usually hung out in group situations. But during that moment was the first time we were hanging out without the company of others, and I felt like we really got to know each other on a close level. We discovered our favorite bar, our favorite drink, started our Instagram ( @finaldaysnyc) and talked until the bar closed and kicked us out. A night that originally started as a botched attempt to get into the comedy cellar turned into one of my favorite memories of New York, of us being roommates, of us being friends.

Shellie and I go way back. We did the normal sister things (we are cousins btw) of fighting almost everyday about the dumbest things to playing pretend house with Barbie dolls to playing horsey (I was the horse she was the rider haha). Thankfully I can say we aren’t the same but all these experiences AND MORE has made her one of my dearest friends and family who I can talk to for hours (or Shellie talking for hours..especially sleepovers), running errands, or just slipping inside her bedsheets as we catch up and look at her glow in the dark star ceiling. Love you dearly Shellie.

Michelle and I have known each other since elementary school. We have so many memories going back, it’s hard to narrow down to one. We grew up together, traveled the world together, and have been there for each other through all the highs and lows. Though I love all of our collected memories together, some of my favorite moments were the quiet ones. Like when we would walk over to each other’s houses to hang out, telling ourselves we would do homework but end up talking for hours on end instead, smiling and laughing at something silly. The memories, conversations, laughter, and tears we have shared are some of my most prized possessions. I’m thrilled and honored to stand by her side on her wedding day and excited to add this to our collection of memories.
