Hellur, hellurs, how yurr doer? You may know me as Vorani, Davis, David, Vovo, Voraunchy, ranivo, Boy, Kakut Thom Thom (formerly), Ka mahp, or the many others monikers I’ve been predisposed to throughout the years. I’m the youngest-lewking and least financially responsible of the tree Khoonsrivong siblings. Besides being in constant existential dread, here are tree other quips about me:
1. I’ve developed my own lingo and it drives everyone absolutely bonkers.
2. I believe in the Killer!
3. I’m an absolute whore for the hottie pottie.
Hello~! I’m Rebecca Sok and I first met Cathy and her family through her grandma really. Her older kin knew my older kin and they decided their kids should be friends and BAM! Suddenly she and her brother are carpooling with me and my brother back home during middle school. Basically, a divinely orchestrated friendship that none of us had a say in, but it all worked out because we all still like each other after all these years. Also, don’t tell her brother, but I think she’s the better dancing partner of the two.
3 facts about me.
1. I would eat sushi everyday if it weren’t for mercury poisoning and inflation. A rainbow roll anywhere should not be more than $12.
2. I think anyone who enjoys mind numbing, tongue burning, bootyhole throbbing spicy food is a masochist.
3. I’ve terrible navigational skills. “But Rebecca how did you get anywhere before GPS?” A route that was supposed to be 10 minutes could easily turned into 30 and tears were almost always shed.

Hello, hellur, hola, sa bai dee, sawadee krap, chum reap sour, (insert hello in your language preference )… I’m the bride-to-be’s big-little sister — those who know, know. I can’t 100% remember when I met Brandon, but what I do know is that he’s a lucky man to be marrying my sister! Ayyyyeeeee!
Here are my 2 truths and a lie… I’m kidding they’re all lies
1. During a camping trip when I was a child, I was bitten by a mosquito on my eyelids. That’s right, not one, but both. It was miserable; I could hardly open my eyes, they were itchy as heck and my cousins didn’t want to play with me. We laugh at it now.
2. Any time I see chocolate Santa’s during the Christmas season, I remind Cathy of how she ruined my first Christmas. She ate my very first Christmas present by herself. Can you guess what they were; that’s right — chocolate Santa’s. There’s video evidence.

Hello y’all. My name is Josh. Brandon and I met on the MOVE trip that happened before our freshman year of college and have been friends ever since. We bonded over shared taste in music. I met Cathy through Brandon and hanging out with a bunch of his music friends (I was an engineer) before they started dating.

1. I am an engineer for Northrop Grumman up in the frozen north that is North Dakota.
2. Brandon hit me with a spatula once totally unprovoked. It was also his fault that my room was covered in ants. Again totally unprovoked.
3. I helped Brandon practice for his Pacific Ambassadors tours by him giving me tours and could almost do the tour myself by the end of it and tell him what he missed. Also helped him study his flash cards for music history. Will always remember that “Bach’s death marked the end of the Baroque period” because of that. For some reason that will be stuck in my brain forever.
Hey, what’s up! I’m Robert. I met Branthy (Brandon & Cathy) at UOP where we studied music together. I was a music therapy major and then a music management major so I had classes with both Cathy and Brandon and we’ve remained close friends since then! We are now fellow board game and D&D nerds.
