The Gals
Debbie Nguyen - Maid of Honor
She’s the closest thing to a sister I could ever ask for. From day one, she’s stood by me—even in moments when I didn’t deserve it. With her big heart and unwavering honesty, she truly is the best. From childhood adventures to grown-up heart-to-hearts, Debbie has been there through every laugh, every tear, and every milestone. Her love, her strength, and her unwavering support have always been a guiding light in my life. Having her as my Maid of Honor is more than a title—it’s a celebration of the bond we’ve shared for a lifetime. I couldn’t imagine walking down the aisle without her by my side.
Paola Montez - Bridesmaid
She’s been my friend since college—one of the sweetest and smartest people I know. While her mom was out clubbing, we were hitting the books, and I was keeping her fueled with snacks (she always lit up when food appeared!). Through those clubbing days and study nights, she’s proven to be one of the most dependable friends I could ever ask for. I’m beyond grateful to have you standing with me on my wedding day—it means the world.
Choulaphone Soundara - Bridesmaid
It only took her 10 years to finally get on board with the relationship—but now she’s not just a bridesmaid, she’s a great future sister-in-law. She’s the perfect mix of fun and “old lady” vibes, and I can’t wait for all the future SIL trips we’ll share together. I’m so glad to have you be a part of my wedding day.
Snow Huynh - Bridesmaid
We’ve shared over 20 years of friendship—through times when we were far apart and moments when we were inseparable. From the clubbing days to the quiet ones, she’s always been a constant in my life. Her loyalty and her positive outlook on life have carried us through it all, and I couldn’t imagine this day without her by my side. 💕
The Boyz
Sean Ho - Best Man
Some friendships are built to last — and ours began back in middle school. From awkward school days to life’s biggest milestones, we’ve been through it all together.
He’s been more than a friend — he’s a brother, a confidant, and now, my best man. Whether it was late-night talks, wild adventures, or just being there when it mattered most, he’s always had my back.
Having him stand beside me on this day means the world. It’s a celebration not just of love, but of loyalty, laughter, and a friendship that’s stood the test of time.
Phong Nguyen - Groomsman
Every great adventure needs a partner — and for me, that’s been Phong Nguyen.
From early morning fishing trips to late-night drinks and deep conversations, Phong has been a constant in my life. Whether we’re swapping recipes in the kitchen or exploring the great outdoors, he brings energy, laughter, and loyalty to every moment.
Our bond was built on shared passions — the thrill of the catch, the joy of cooking, and the peace found under the open sky. Phong’s been there through it all, and I’m honored to have him standing with me on this unforgettable day.
Richard Young - Groomsman
Richard’s been more than just a roommate—he’s been my big brother, my late-night therapist, and my go-to partner for midnight coffee runs and impromptu dinners. From the chaos of 924 to the calm of early morning hangovers, he’s always been the one holding it all together. He’s the guy who keeps the lights on, the fridge stocked, and somehow still finds time to grab a drink when you need to unwind. And if something breaks—car, bike, or even your spirit—Richard’s the best mechanic you could ask for. Always dependable, always down, and always looking out for everyone else. If this wedding had a logistics manager, it’d be Richard. I’m lucky to have him in my corner—and even luckier to have him standing beside me today.
Shawn Nitao - Groomsman
Shawn was my original roommate, my partner mischief, and the unofficial ringleader of our early-twenties chaos. If you’ve ever seen someone tear across a parking lot in dress shoes yelling “I got this!”—yeah, that was him. He’s the kind of guy who turns a quiet night into a full-blown adventure, especially after a few drinks. But beneath the party vibes and valet hustle, Shawn’s got a heart bigger than his bar tab and loyalty that never quits. I wouldn’t trade those wild nights—or his friendship—for anything. Just maybe keep a fire extinguisher near the open bar.
Special Mentions
Jonathan Nguyễn - Officient
Sweet, dependable, and always down for a good time—whether it’s a Vegas weekend or a football Sunday—Jonathan brings a whole lot of laughter to every moment. He's been a steady presence in our lives, the kind of person you can count on for support, good vibes, and more than a few unforgettable nights. We couldn’t imagine anyone better to lead our ceremony—mostly because Jonathan experienced all the chaos through the years and still agreed to do it.
Nathan Del Rosario - Ring Bearer
Nathan is my gentle, lovable "son" with a heart as big as his smile. He’s sweet, brilliant, and radiates warmth in every moment. On the big day, he’ll walk down the aisle with Tenji, adding a tender touch to a moment already filled with love. We couldn’t be prouder to have Nathan in this role—he’s the perfect little gentleman to help us celebrate something so special.
Mia Del Rosario - Flower Girl
Mia is my brilliant, spunky "daughter" who brings joy wherever she goes—and just enough sass to keep everyone on their toes. She’s fun, fearless, and whether she’s tossing petals like a seasoned pro or simply soaking up the spotlight, she owns every moment. Her energy is electric, her charm is magnetic, and her flower girl swagger? Absolutely next level. This celebration wouldn’t shine nearly as bright without Mia lighting up the day in her signature style.
Tenji Soundara - Ring Bearer
The sweetest dog ever, with a heart full of love and a brain full of smarts. He may be “selective” about his food (just like his mommy), but he makes up for it with endless naps and the most chill personality (just like his daddy). Today, he’s not just part of the family — he’s carrying the rings that seal the deal.
