Danny Tse
Groomsman
When I go to a wedding, people always ask me if I have a brother because we look alike. Kevin is my brother and I met Steph through him.
Jennifer Chang
Bridesmaid
I've known Steph and Kevin since they were high school sophomores when I would sometimes third-wheel them on the 7 train and Q27 home from school. From there, I have clocked in countless milestones with Steph, from being post-college roommates traveling the world to surviving deadly stomach viruses together on the couch. Steph and Kevin are my chosen family and I am so honored to be a part of their special day and cannot wait to rip up the dance floor; I still dream of video vixen fame. I also love dogs and hate strawberries, ask Kevin for more info.
Kevin Chan
Groomsman
I love to eat but I lost 30lbs in the span of 3 years. I am obsessed with fries, in fact you'll know I like you if I share some with you. My childhood crush was Britney Spears. I am childhood friends with Kevin. The first time we met was randomly ending up in his apartment one day after school and playing a game of basketball. I might have made him cry a little when I started to dunk over him on his hoop that was glued on his wall.
Cindy Chen
Bridesmaid
My name is Cindy and I am from the hood and slowly converting to South Harlem life (still hood). I have two cute ass dogs, Benji and Hobo and will never let a cute moment pass by without taking a quick photo. I met Stephanie in college as we were both pledging Kappas and vividly remember the multiple times we stuffed 8 people into her Civic, or 9 people in my Highlander. Throughout these years, I have learned that Stephanie is a great listener who will listen to all my dumb boy problems and also one of the best people to ask for life advice. Kevin is the guy that will never turn down some goood whiskey. I know he will take care of Steph forever and even in the next lifetime if he can. I am so grateful that I met these two amazing people and that I get to be a part of their wedding day.
Harry Chiu
Groomsman
I’m a part-time alcoholic, I wear 2 pairs of socks most of the year, I have an insatiable hunger for seaweed, I was once poop bombed by dozens of pigeons, and I wrote this at work within 2 minutes. Kevin won our respective hearts in high school through a consistent supply of homemade pork fried rice and noodles. He’s since sustained our admiration through the years by providing a healthy dose of teasing and overall comic relief. Stephanie has been in our lives for almost just as long. Initially accepted simply as part of the packaged deal, she has since proven her own unique and admirable qualities. These include but are not limited to– inability to consume alcohol, efficient production of matcha rice krispies and admirable attempts to produce a cultured Kevin.
Joanne Chih
Bridesmaid
My name is Joanne. I laugh (and cry) at almost everything. I enjoy cooking. I enjoy eating. Contrary to most, I don’t really crave bread. I can pack an extraordinary amount of stuff into a single carryon. I can pick up languages quite easily. I first met Kevin at Sigma classes. He was one of those smart ones who got top marks and got the best prizes. His future wife, my longtime childhood friend (a sister essentially) and “Twinnie”, Steph! One of my first memories was asking Steph to share her string cheese with me, which she quickly refused! She later shared not only string cheese, but many a snacks and many more memories! Over two decades of friendship later, she’s sharing one of the biggest days of her life with me and I couldn’t be more happy for the both of them!
Alvin Flete
Groomsman
I worked as the college mascot (Wolfie), once snagged a flight to Hawaii for $115, and cannot remember lyrics to a song for the life of me. I met them through Kevin - met Kevin at MetLife.
Jenny Hua
Bridesmaid
Hi! I’m Jenny and I recently moved to SF about a year ago from NY. I met Steph through our college years and our relationship developed through our shared love for food, tv marathons at her apt and endless nights of adventures around the city. We’ve stuck by one another through thick and thin and the distance won’t stop us (secretly waiting for her to move here!).
Sonny Kung
Groomsman
Sonny lives in the East Village in NYC. He first met Kevin and Steph in 2004, in Ms. Daves’ high school chemistry class. Ionic bonds weren’t the only things formed in that class 😉. Since then, he’s had countless bbqs and ski trips with the lovely couple while also being on the receiving end of over 150 of Kevin's signature teases. Sonny once played a small but critically acclaimed role as a pimp in a short film for Steph (iMBD). He eschewed the acting spotlight to focus his pursuits on rock climbing and trying all the pizza in NYC.
Carmen Lau
Bridesmaid
I am a full time banker who doubles as an ice cream connoisseur. I’m a little too obsessed with my dog Ginger, a shiba inu. Hong Kong, Szechuan, and Thai food is the way to my heart. I met Stephanie in college over 10 years ago! That’s when I met Kevin as her other half. Stephanie and I pledged the same sorority in the same semester, inducted a class of “kids”, and caused some trouble and had lots of laughs along the way. Fast forwarding, we’ve gone on numerous trips together as couples and now even live in the same apartment complex. Trying to fulfill real life ‘Friends’ (the TV show) goals, one step at a time.
Bo Liang
Groomsman
I like roller coasters, water activities, hiking, and to snowboard. Kevin is my cousin. I live in Brooklyn.
