Wedding Party
Luna Guinto
Matron of Honor
Longtime best friend since high school. Some of my life's "Best Hits" are with her. Luna is kind, thoughtful, fiercely loyal, and never afraid of standing up for what's right. I'm so grateful to have her in my corner, forever and always. Teenage Annie always imagined getting married with Luna by her side and here we are... can't wait to grow old and be glammas who bottomless brunch and cry on the uber ride home.

Albert Luo
Groomsman
Puoting. My older (and only) brother. Growing up, people thought we looked like twins. Now we just act like it. He used jump out from his room around the corner at the top of the stairs to scare me. But he got nicer as he grew older, and even though I'm the taller one now, I still look up to him for life advice and coffee recommendations. Pump up song: ?
Donald Wong
Bridesman
I've known the guy since (his) birth and there's something special about growing up with a built in best friend for 27+ years and knowing that regardless of how unsure the future is, I have him for life. Donald is inquisitive, creative, and optimistic. So proud of him in pursuing his passion for interior design and will most definitely be bugging for a friends and family discount when Eric and I have our first home.

Will Grospe
Groomsman
Will. As loyal and thoughtful as they come... I'm damn glad to have this man in my inner circle, and forever grateful to have gained a friend like you at Troy. I'd like to think 30 year old us will look back fondly on all the good times we've shared and appreciatively for all the growth we've gone through. He can either confirm or deny this for me at the time of the wedding, because he'll have literally just gotten back from spending his 30th birthday in Japan. Pump up song: Shakira - Hips Don't Lie
Holly Chang
Bridesmaid
My first friend who loved me even when I had thick glasses and bangs. She is an only child and tried to absorb me (and Donald) as her siblings. Glad she was needy because I am grateful for this friendship who has withstood the test of time - even if she made me (what seemed like) rappel "hike" up a mountain in Korea. Coolest thing about her? Follow her chicken mom journey at @changschickens. Fav pump up song (or podcast, I guess): Healthier Together Podcast by Liz Moody
Julian Xu
Groomsman
Julian. This guy esquires. One of the original trio of BAMF Entertainment. This worldly dude has studied everywhere from Santa Barbara (where without him and Holly, not sure if Annie and I would've gotten back together 🤷♂️) to Edinburgh to Ithaca. But I'm glad he's back in SoCal now, where we'll be able to hang out at his DB house to work on Spanish projects in perpetuity. Pump up song: FLOW - Go!!!
Cindy Chang
Bridesmaid
One of my best cheerleader and hypewoman but also my most low maintenance friend. She's down for a night out but she's also down to veg on the couch with snacks and a random TV show. Grateful that TASA/college has brought her into my life (who even is Eric??) Cindy is forever supportive and understanding. Things are always effortless with her and I treasure every minute of it - can't wait to do more of life together, my strawberry queen. Fav pump up song: "Work From Home" by Fifth Harmony
Faiz Mirza
Groomsman
Faiz. Coke Zero addict and wearer of Gucci slides. We were pretty good friends in high school but became even closer friends from college onward (after Annie enabled our hookah hangouts). Super appreciative of this guy for all our convos... and for the fact that Annie has someone else to go to Taylor Swift concerts with. Pump up song: Shoko Nakagawa - Sorairo Days
Megan Thai
Bridesmaid
Us in freshman bio learning about mitochondria being the powerhouse of the cell couldn't have possibly imagined us now - both engaged and about to be married!! So many of my high school memories are speckled with her and the boys and #neverforget that green VW bug. She is my favorite person to gossip with, take personality tests with, and as a true Ennnegram 6, the person I go to when I want to say bad things without any judgement. Can't wait for Dr. Thai to come for my future cavities! Fav pump up song: "Reminder" by The Weeknd
Winnie Shuster
Groomswoman
Winnie. Dog mom of @kikidapom. Friends since sophomore year of high school - throwback to Milord's pre-calc class and straight goofin' in computer science with Cogli. Always down for deep dives and intellectual debates. I'm glad I have her to rant to/with about the U.S. sick care system. Pump up song: Woodkid - Iron
Shannon Polley
Bridesmaid
My PA school roomie who turned out to be so much more. Going through the pandemmy and PA school together meant that we saw the most stressed out versions of each other but I guess I still tolerate her. Jokes aside, Shannon's energy is magnetic and brightens up any room. She is also annoyingly good at anything she remotely tries at. Thankful for Tufts for giving me two degrees, a job, and her. #Shannie forever Fav pump up song: "Turn Down for What" by Lil Jon
Amos Byon
Groomsman
Amos. One of the most dependable people I know (until the alchy fairy strikes...!) and a aficionado of the finer things in life — Japanese whisky, jamón ibérico, tech products, and more. Look forward to seeing him pull up to the wedding in an autonomous car. Pump up song: Anderson .Paak - CUT EM IN
Katherine Brandt
Bridesmaid
Sweetest gal from the Badger State (for those of you from California, that’s Wisconsin). My PANCE study buddy and post-PA school do nothing buddy. Now she's a bad ass emergency medicine PA! Kat is a much better friend than I am, from bringing us puppy chow to occasionally texting me to check in to snail-mailing me cute photos of us from our trips. Couldn't have made it through the past 4 years without her- one of the many blessings from moving to Boston. Fav pump up song: "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen
Brian Kim
Groomsman
Brian. An all-star in everything he does. Crazy to think I've actually known this guy since elementary and middle school... and he's always been one of those people you can't help but admire for his tenacity and genuine goodness. While not philosophizing and writing raps for fun, he's conquering half marathons and the start-up world. The dance floor ain't ready for this one! Pump up song: Apashe - Lacrimosa
