Our Wedding

Justin Ying Choi Lau was born on August 11, 1980 as the first child to David and Judy Lau. He grew up in Andover, Massachusetts outside of Boston and like any good Bostonian has a deep love of the New England Patriots. On any given weekend he can be found outdoors either racing , golfing, snowboarding, or sitting on the couch watching YouTube videos about those three.

Justin

Andrea Lauren Allas, born on September 22, 1990 to Nestor and Maria Allas, is full of youthful energy. She has 4 loves in life - sleeping, boba , shoes, and Justin - yes, in that order. At least Justin comes before snowboarding, her only athletic past time. Other hobbies include planning elaborate trips around the globe and visions of grand real estate renovations. Of course, this is all in between her many required daily naps - having so much enthusiasm for life and grandiose ideas requires a lot of energy and recharging.

Andrea

Andrea and Justin first met while they were working together at Cerami. She likes to think that her excellent skills at laying out speakers on a floor plan are what caught his attention. While he likes to think it was his "suave" dance moves that caught hers. Somewhere in the middle is probably where the truth lies. Together, they love traveling the globe or even just taking short weekend escapes domestically. When not traveling, they're usually napping on the couch together, watching Formula 1, or trying all the local dining options.
