Wedding Party
Sailor Mi Chau
Maid of Honor
Fighting evil by moonlight...Finding love by daylight...Finding friendship by legal work! United by a love of Sailor Moon, Mi is the most well rested productive individual Jahna knows. Lawyer by day, yoga teacher by evening, wedding coordinator by weekend, Mi often feeds Jahna her delicious cooking. Mi Chau was Jahna's first friend to welcome Vince into the fold with her boo bear Jason. The intrepid 4 shared sushi and puzzled their way out of a Scooby Doo themed escape room.
BMOC (Kevin)
Officiant & Co-Best Man
Kevin Fang is one of Vince and Jahna's closest friends. He helped Vince order and resize the wedding ring (twice), he helped Jahna scour the globe for Vince's grail watch. He is the first person Vince and Jahna go to when they need to hide something from one another, so who better to Officiate the wedding than the guy who knows all their secrets. He is also co-best man since he is one of the Best Men we know.
Nhu
Bridesmaid
Nhu is the gracious soul who remembered Jahna loves pickled food and made an entire charcuterie board just for her when Vince was in Ukraine. Ever the sharp witted karaoke goddess chef with a flare for style, Nhu is often found with her numero uno Mozzy the dog, her husband BMOC, and their precious new baby. Nhu has been known to have a trickster streak and in the past has drawn Vince into a practical joke or two on BMOC, especially for Nhu and BMOC's first look. It's a good story.
Takuraba (Todd)
Groomsman
Tak is Vince's closest friend. In the literal sense. Vince and Tak spend 7+hours a week on the mat sweating, fighting, and swearing at one another (and that's just the stretching part of class!). He has been Vince's Jujitsu instructor for 5 years, and Jahna's for 2 years (he's the one that gave her her blue belt!). Thanks to Todd, Vince and Jahna are prepared to Jujitsu their way through any problems that may come up in their marriage.
Aurora
Bridesmaid
It doesn't take a sleuth to deduce that Aurora is a bundle of thoughtful conversations tempered with irreverent laughter and Jahna's number one picnic-sneaking-drinks-places friend. With an unexpected shared Rocky Mountain history and love of combat sports, Aurora and Jahna can often be found snarfing Wolf Nights burritos after trouncing through Manhattan all day. But don't let her happy-go-lucky nature fool you, Aurora met Vince first in their shared line of work. Soon thereafter they became besties bonding over Orson Scott Card and a love of whiskey, and now they are on a quest to find the *very best* wings in the continental United States. Aurora, the kaiju.
Jonny Deal
Co-Best Man
Jonny has been Vince's Best Man since before Vince knew what it meant to be a good man. They served in the Marines together, traveled all over the world, and went to Ukraine together. He gave Vince his first drink of Scotch, his first cigar, and his first hangover. All in the same 24 hour period. Nothing like Guns, Alcohol, and War Zones to create life long friendships. They plan to grow old together, buy a barn, adopt a lion, and buy a secondhand lion if Jahna dies first.
Samantha
Bridesmaid
Insurance saleswoman, gamer, poi performer, Sam most recently fed P.P. clams to manta-rays with Jahna in Florida. Agreeing that manta-rays are the cats of the sea, Sam and Jahna are ready to poke all of the willing/unwitting marine life. When not in the ocean, Sam can be found competing with Vince for the perfect picture on Pokemon Snap. Sam and Jahna also share a long love of Studio Ghibli.
Kevin (GoodGuyKevin)
Groomsman
Kevin (Nice guy Kevin) is a Legend. His feats include rescuing an entire family of kittens from a burning building and nursing them back to health, adopting 36 orphans and paying their way through college, and donating both his kidneys to a single mother of 10 who needed them. He is always available for anyone who needs a ride, money, or a hug. As the old saying goes, "When you find yourself in trouble, you can pray to God or ask Nice Guy Kevin. Only one of these options has 100% success rate."
Lalitha
Bridesmaid
Somewhere at the corner of trouble and fun, Lalitha and Jahna meet regularly. Whether it's late night mini golf, five-day ragers, or cross-country trips with Sepano and Vince, Lalitha is always down for endless giggles and adventure (and coffee). Lalitha is Vince's found sister in their pursuit of premium San Jose dive bars and looking fancy AF in NYC. Somehow Lalitha's makeup is always immaculate and her smile ceaselessly glows.
Sepano
Groomsman
Before you ask, he is NOT single. Sepano is always in for a good time, a good movie, and a good trip. Notorious for his catch phase "say less," he always shows up for Vince and Jahna and takes the party from "just-ok" to "The Bomb!" You can find him at the gym, on the cover of Wine Spectator, or with his wonderful fiancé Lalitha.
Yliza
Bridesmaid
Part of the original Hiking Whores Club with Jahna, Yliza believes in and has benefited from the omnipresent cat distribution system. Beyond baking superb treats, Yliza follows the music capturing artists and friends as a photographer. Yliza has taken gorgeous photographs of Vince, Jahna, and their restored cars Artemis and Roxy in San Jose. Jahna especially loves late night laughs with Yliza *not* stealing darling squishmallows from Costco.
Sam
Groomsman
Sam is one of the best friends Vince and Jahna have ever had, mostly because he's never afraid to get his hands dirty. Call him up anytime, day or night, and he will show up with a shovel, a gallon of gasoline, 10000 dollars cash, and a good alibi. Whatever you need, he's got it or he will find a way to get it. They just don't make them like Sam anymore.
Daniel
Groomsman
One of the best drinking buddies Vince and Jahna have ever had. He's always down for a shot (or 10) and has an open door and an open bar policy at his house. He is one reliable motherfucker, and has never been seen without a smile on his face. He is a friend to everyone, and will do anything for his friends.
