Wedding Party

Brenda Nguyen

Maid of Honor

Brenda is not only Tee's cousin but the older sister Tee has always wanted. She is one of the most important and supportive people in Tee's life. She has been there through it all with Tee ever since Tee's family came to Texas in 1997! She's seen Tee's growth and have been there with Tee through all the hardship. The two have always been close and have always kept a positive relationship. If there's a person that can write a biography about Tee, it would be Brenda. She's the number one person who shares the same humor with Tee. She is also sharing her 33rd birthday on our wedding day! Please be sure to give her a birthday greet! To simply put it, Brenda is definitely the crème de la crème. GOAT.

Jacob Albritton

Best Man

Jacob and Nick were roommates throughout grad school and both in the BioE program. They've seen each other through the best of times and the miseries of grad school and can now look back and just laugh. There’s no one better to have witty and insightful conversations with, especially over a Saint Arnold’s Endeavor Double IPA. He probably has more dirt on Nick than anyone here, so buy him drinks at Nick's mercy. :) Nick and Jacob were also each other's first shift partners at Valhalla during the dreaded midnight - 2AM shift on Wednesdays, and they had our fair share of laughs entertaining the drunk MBAs. Fun fact: he can whip up a mean cheesecake.

Julie Huynh

Bridesmaid

Tee met Julie at The University of Texas School of Dentistry. If there's anyone that can make Tee laugh relentlessly it would be Julie! From sharing each other's food during lunch time to giving each other recommendations about common interests, they click harder than a button. Julie is extremely supportive and has always given the best advice when needed. She contributed to making Tee's school experience pleasant and full of life. She is also always looking out for Tee to fill her beverage needs! Julie is truly one of Tee's favorite people to hang out with because it's always going to be a good time.

Siva Ramarathinam

Groomsman

Siva has known Nick longer than anyone here, with them meeting literally in elementary school! He's seen Nick progress through my middle school and high school days, so you know he will have some good dirt on him. He's always been a great friend, from the lunches they used to have during high school, to their "yearly" catch up session whenever Nick is home for Christmas break. They still manage to keep in touch all these years, and Nick couldn't ask for a better friend throughout the years.

Claudia Perry

Bridesmaid

Claudia and Tee go wayyyyy back to the Golden Corral days. The two used to be servers at the awful buffet while juggling school. Claudia is the first person Tee became friends with when she moved to Houston in 2013. Soon after, the two worked together at a dental office and that's when Tee was introduced to dentistry. Tee's time spent with Claudia is filled with the type of laughter that fills a person's eyes with tears and leaves them gasping for air. Claudia is the type of friend you can call and start the conversation with "GIRL..." and you both would bust into laughter before you even being talking about what happened. Claudia is one of Tee's oldest friends and the two share so many timeless memories together.

Kavan Reddy

Groomsman

Kavan and Nick were in the same program during college, and they both suffered through an insufferable year-long group project, with too many stories to count. Now Kavan is a big-shot consultant at a top consulting firm, and Nick's not surprised at all! Nick and Kavan are both travel fans and they've done a lot together, from skiing in Park City Utah, to raging at a rave in Puerto Rico, to floating the Texan rivers, to even climbing the Great Wall of China. He has taught Nick a lot about how to view the world in a more cultured lens, and Nick look forward to the day this quarantine is over and they can plan another trip! "Most likely to become CEO of a Fortune 500 company."

Cindy Voson

Bridesmaid

Cindy is an April baby just like Tee. She is the type of person that could try to sell Tee anything and Tee would buy it. Tee can wholeheartedly trust Cindy with anything. The two met in dental hygiene school and have become great friends. Cindy is one of the most wholesome and nurturing people Tee knows. She the type of person who would go out of her way to check on a friend if they're sick or if they had a serious knee injury during dental prom (yikes). Tee is able to connect with Cindy on a deeper and more intimate level and for that, she finds herself so lucky to have a great friend like Cindy. Cindy isn't sweeter than candy, she is candy.

Mike Miller

Groomsman

Mike has always been the go-to person for anything culture-related. You want to know the best shows? The best movies out right now? Great food and restaurants? I have always been so impressed and happy to have someone like Mike to give me suggestions, and when we all go out, we always have a great time. Add to that Mike's cooking skills, you got yourself an all-around renaissance man. We've been through a lot of things together, from surviving sinkholes during Hurricane Harvey to partying it up at a VIP Super Bowl party, Mike's been a great friend and I couldn't be happier to have him as a groomsman.

Vivian Le

Bridesmaid

Tee met Vivian in dental hygiene school and the two became closer during their senior year. Vivian is a very supportive friend. She's adventurous and always encourages Tee and their group of friends to engage in new things. When it comes to shopping, Tee loves finding good deals and Vivian is the queen of finding great sales. After many beatings to Tee's pockets from purchasing Bath and Body Works' candles, Figs scrubs, and makeup - Tee can proudly say they were all worth it. Vivian is the type of friend that will stay back with you afterschool and help you clean up your operatory or help search for your lost ID. She is definitely one of a kind and Tee is proud to have her as a great friend.

Ramy Sweidan

Groomsman

Ramy is the real OG bro. He's funny and brash, and when he gets drunk, you know we are all gonna have a good time. He and Nick have had many fun nights together (take the phrasing for what you will), and who would have thought it would have happened, with them meeting as Ramy being Nick's grad school department secretary. He's also a huge gamer like Nick, and playing games with him has been a great way to relieve stress throughout this quarantine together. Although he had to suffer the trials and tribulations of WACO, TEXAS, he made it out alive and is now a functioning human in society, planning the cancer treatments for sick children.

Anyssia (Niecy) Williams

Bridesmaid

Niecy and Tee used to soar the skies together as flight attendants. They both went through similar journeys together. From living in Chicago, to quitting the airlines, to living in Houston, to working in the hotel industry, to pursuing their undergraduate degrees. Niecy is a very supportive friend and has one of the kindest souls. She is one of the hardest working people, a true go-getter and the epitome of an independent woman. Through her busy time and schedule she has always made time for Tee and continuously supports her. She is one of the reasons why Houston was bearable for Tee.

Jordan Eisen

Groomsman

Rachel Murad

Bridesmaid

Rachel is definition of Tee's soul sister. They share a bond that transcends time, space and distance. When Tee first met Rachel at The University of Texas School of Dentistry, Rachel told Tee that she was told that people make life long friends in dental hygiene school. This always stuck with Tee because of the type bond they have. Rachel can read Tee like no one else can. Rachel is a huge support system in Tee's life and they share so many similar experiences. Rachel also has a daughter that Tee absolutely adores. Rachel isn't just always uplifting Tee, she is the uplift in Tee's life.

Emmanuel (Manny) Horsford

Groomsman

Emmanuel (<3) and Nick met when he had a friend strike out with a grad school friend of Nick's, and although his friend wasn't stoked, our friendship burned bright and deep. Nick long for the days that we used to go to raves, including getting belligerent at EDC Puerto Rico (with Kavan!). Shows aside, Manny is one of the most caring dudes you will meet, and his charm and sense of humor help him make friends throughout his worldwide escapes, from Shanghai to Madagascar and even working as a farmhand in Italy.

Heaven Fogle

Bridesmaid

Heaven is Tee's day one girl. The two have been friends since the first day of dental hygiene school. The two are also dating each other's male version of one another. Heaven is CEO of party foul and Tee absolutely adores her for it. She supports Tee and understands Tee in a different way from others. The two share a common interest in stylish clothing and are not afraid to glam up. If there's anyone that will keep Tee in check with her fashion sense, it would be Heaven. Tee has so much love for Heaven for always being there and consistent with their friendship. If there's one person Tee knows that will bottoms up with her, it will be Heaven!

Duffy Elmer

Groomsman

Duffy Michael Elmer, what more is there to say? The man can dance, recite tons of interesting cultural references, and rock a mean Ryan Gosling impression. From housing him in Jacob and Nick's apartment for a month while he was between jobs to attending his recent wedding in Tucson (which Tee and Nick drove 16 hours to and back from Houston to save money!), they have definitely seen a lot, and Nick is grateful for his company and good humor.
