Bridal Party

Olivia Leung
Olivia Leung - Maid of Honor

A Tale of Two Queens

Olivia and Carolina's friendship has flourished for nearly a decade, starting back in college when they first met while working under the same boss. What began as a typical co-worker relationship quickly evolved into a lifelong bond.

If their friendship were a book trope, Carolina would be the bold, outgoing, adventurous "Hot Heroine", always speaking her mind, while Olivia would be the sweet, bubbly, yet strategic "Planner," calmly watching the chaos and plotting the perfect exit.

From Microprocessors to Mario Kart

Romina, one half of the Maid of Honor duo alongside Olivia, could easily be called "Carolina 1.0," since they’re often mistaken for sisters. They first crossed paths in a computer science class and later became colleagues in the university's IT department. Their friendship has survived indoor skydiving, international travels to the UK and France, and countless video game nights, where the two of them dueled for digital supremacy. If you want to test your mettle in Mario Kart, challengers are accepted...

A Friendship For Life

Haroldo and Nina have been friends for eight years, since Haroldo’s early days as a Hardware Engineer in the retail space. Their friendship started off like any other but evolved through ups and downs, becoming one of Haroldo’s most cherished relationships. Though busy, they still make time for laughs, life updates, and offering support through the chaos of life. Over time, Haroldo has seen Nina flourish as a person, as a friend, and as a partner, especially with Steven by her side. He is thankful that she has found someone who not only brings balance to her but loves her for all she is. He’s thrilled to welcome Steven into their circle and grateful to be part of their journey together.

From Babies to Bridesmaid

A friend of the bride since babies, Bea and Carolina (or Nina as she's always called her) share some of their fondest childhood memories together. Often thought of as a sister at heart, Bea has watched Nina grow from a little girl to a brilliant woman and couldn't be more excited to celebrate her and Steven's union—partly because it’s a beautiful love story, but mostly because she's also very familiar with the struggle of passing the 'strict dad approval test;) Congrats Steven, you did it!!!

Two Decades of Brotherhood

Steven and I have known each other for 20 years now. We grew up together and went to school together and I am honored and humbled to be the best man at his wedding as he marries his forever person. It was incredible to see Steven and Nina get engaged on a rooftop in Tokyo and now I can’t wait to see them tie the knot and have a great time with both families. If you see me, come say hi!

Game On, Panthers On, Friendship On

Daniel and Steven’s story goes all the way back to high school, where their friendship was built on a steady diet of video games, sports talk, and endless jokes. Whether it was celebrating a Florida Panthers win or just hanging out, the bond only grew stronger with time. Now, after years of laughter and loyalty, Daniel is thrilled to stand by Steven’s side as one of his closest friends takes the biggest win of all—marriage.

NHL Online Legends

I met Steven—aka "Death"—back in middle school through Shane. Right from the start, we bonded over two things: our deep disdain for Canadian hockey teams and our incredibly mature sense of humor. Fast forward to today, and it's been a joy watching Steven and Nina grow together as a couple. I’m beyond honored to be part of their wedding day, and I can’t wait to see what wild adventures the future holds for them!
