Wedding Party
Esther Jacobe
Matron of Honor
Esther was one of Uriah's first friends she made when she moved to LA over 12 years ago! They've been through many seasons of life together. Their friendship sparked over their love of swing dancing, R&B and Gospel music. Although Esther is a busy mom of two, Uriah and Esther's friendship has been marked with intentionality over the years and is always filled with laughing, singing, crying, joy, and of course Christ.
Esther Shin
Bridesmaid
Esther is a dear friend of Uriah's. From the moment they met, there was an instant connection and tenderness between the two. She is someone who has always been a safe space for Uriah to be her true self. Esther is a busy mom and wife, but she is one of the most loyal and true friends, and their friendship has always been marked with honesty, vulnerability, compassion, support, and Christ-like love for one another.
Hannah Cho Park
Bridesmaid
Hannah is one of Uriah's oldest friends, established 2004! They both attended UC Davis together and also lived together for two years. Although they live in different states, time and distance hasn't changed the honesty and love in their friendship. They have been through thick and thin together and she is so blessed to have her friend (who happens to also be a mother of 4!!) stand next to her on her big day!
Lesley Jewe
Bridesmaid
Lesley and Uriah met in 2014 and have grown a strong and deep friendship based on trust, compassion, and support. Their connection sparked over their love of Disneyland and a three-hour line waiting for Tower of Terror, where tears were shed… not because of the long wait although it might have had something to do with it! They’re friendship continued to grow as they served many years together singing and dancing in Ekko kids worship team. Throughout the years, they have laughed together and cried together and each day they continue to speak truth to one another.
