Wedding Party
Kimberly
Matron of Honor
The sister of the bride, Kim is the oldest of the three Chang siblings and has ruled over the other two with an iron fist since they landed on Planet Earth. She and her husband Ty have 3 adorable little girls: Ava, Emma, and Bella.
Josh
Best Man
The groom’s older brother, Josh has played a variety of roles in Jake’s life: from daily taxi in high school to role model and mentor. These days, Josh has settled down with his wife Lainey and 4 kids aged 3-19.
Patrick
Man of Honor
Brother of the bride and youngest of the Chang siblings, Pat has the unique ability to communicate with Valerie using only facial expressions and sibling telepathy. Pat lives in Santa Monica with his emotional support wife, Grace.
Gary
Groomsman
The groom's pharmacy school classmate and later his co-resident, roommate, and coworker, Gary has known Jake since his days of being a shaggy-haired skater/surfer bro. Gary was Jake's taste-tester, designated driver, and partner-in-crime in some of his core memories of the Pacific Northwest. He now lives in Portland with his wife Megan and their baby June.
Michelle
Bridesmaid
One of the bride's two best friends, Michelle has known Valerie since middle school and is singlehandedly responsible for introducing her to anime & manga. She is the bride's go-to companion on food adventures, which Jake is now welcome to third wheel.
Brad
Groomsman
The groom’s pharmacy preceptor in Portland and later his coworker and teammate, Brad (and his family) were Jake's COVID bubble during the pandemic, where they co-conspired on the best way to make baked goods. Brad lives in Portland with his 2 teenagers and their dog, Malu.
Jessica
Bridesmaid
One of the bride's two best friends since middle school, Jessica was Valerie's college roommate and therefore knows the most embarrassing stories about the bride. (Please don't say anything, Jess, I will repay you with bacon!) She lives in NorCal with her husband Marshall, their boy Miles, and their dog Churro.
Marcus
Groomsman
Marcus met the groom in pharmacy school, where they forged bonds over doing just enough studying and enjoying all San Francisco has to offer. He now lives in Sacramento with his husband Lucas and dog Porter. They make a point to get together with the groom each year, especially if Kaskade is on tour.
Grace
Bridesmaid
The bride's sister-in-law and Pat's wife, Grace is originally from Taiwan and is therefore the group's resident "real" Asian. An excellent amateur boxer and real estate expert, she is also #1 co-owner to Whiskey, Valerie's Belgian Malinois dog-daughter.
Jason
Groomsman
The groom's coworker early in his Portland years, Jason quickly became a close friend to Jake over shared interests such as golf, traveling, and of course, music. Jason lives in SF with his wife Jenica and their new baby girl Astrid (who has the most incredible hair!).
Whiskey
Pup of Honor
Sixty pounds of jubilant enthusiasm, Whiskey is the bride's dog-daughter and a certified good girl. While she won't be attending the wedding, she is thrilled that Jake is joining her pack and will be celebrating with us in spirit.
Paul
Groomsman
Paul's is another friendship forged in the trenches of pharmacy school. As one of the few of Jake's old classmates living in SoCal, he is subjected to a great many ramen adventures. These days, Paul and his wife Gloria happily dote on their son, Ezra and their 2 French bulldogs.
Mark
Groomsman
Mark became friends with the groom in the 5th grade playing Pokemon on Gameboy and debating who would be the first to achieve Super Saiyan level 1. Funnily enough, while he introduced Jake to the idea of pharmacy as a profession, he also tried to convince him to be an accountant after he switched majors. Mark now lives in Rancho Cucamonga with wife Magie and their 2 girls.
