Teresa Hoang - Maid of Honor
My best from from high school who has put up with all the craziness from cosplay to International Baccalaureate to undergraduate together. It feels like just yesterday everyone was mistaking us as each other and we were like sisters. Could not have asked for a better partner in crime and friend!! Off we went to Medical School and now turning the final chapter in our lives into adulthood.
Katherine Ngo - Bridesmaid
My sister and long time friend who has been through everything from personal issues to crazy fanatic crazes with anime to gaming and staying up late until the early hours of the morning playing Audition or FlyFF where we were leveling partners. Although we have grown up and grown apart as we reach different stages of our lives, you'll always have a special place in my heart and always there when the going gets tough. Happy to have you as one of my bridesmaids!!
Emmeline Ngo - Bridesmaid
My little sister who was always so full of energy and we would ban together to bully Katie (just kidding) but was all in good fun! Thanks for being there although we were in different age groups but we could always rely on each other and talk to each other when it came to relationship issues. Has been a blessing knowing you and I am excited as you go onto a new journey to graduate school although you are now so far from home, but I know you'll be an excellent provider. Glad to have you as one of my bridesmaids!
Nicole (Nikki) Wells - Bridesmaid
My medical school best friend who took me under her wing when I first moved to Florida and adopted me into her family as I was so far from home. I am truly grateful to have met you and even though we now live across the country from each other, it feels like just yesterday when we talk about our ongoing issues from administration to now our work load as attending physicians. Grateful for our friendship and glad for you to be one of my bridesmaids!
Charles Newton - Best Man
Michael first met Charles back in middle school and soon after found out they lived in the same neighborhood. It didn't take him long to realize Charles was unhinged and to stay far away. Jump forward a decade, by random encounter, Charles asked to tag along on a backpacking trip on the High Sierra Trail. Been exploring the mountains of California to the canyons of Utah since. Been in life and death situations and have always trusted Charles' sound judgment.
Taylor Smith - Groomsman
Another lifelong friend Michael met in middle school who just happened to live in the same neighborhood. We first bonded over our love for legos and bike riding. I won't forget the time you stood up for me against some bullies at lunch and managed to get my lego figure back. Spent all of high school playing lacrosse, messing around with chemicals, in general just causing trouble (still very much surprised with what we got away with). Learned alot from this fool and he will always have my respect.
Joshua Clarke - Groomsman
One can not have enough childhood friends from grade school, Josh being the third delinquent of the neighborhood. Michael and Josh grew up biking to the park, beach and on occasion, through South Coast Plaza (security has got nothing on us). They saw one video on backpacking and thought it was a great idea to go on an 11 day backpacking trip and an ice breaker. Some of my fondest memories are with this bro.
Luke Adea - Groomsman
Michael met Luke working in a molecular laboratory. Whether its machines breaking, test failing, or some variation of chaos happening in the lab, Luke manages to keep everyone spirits up with an out-of-this-world renditions. Like the rest of Michael's close friends, Luke has fallen for his lies about an "easy" backpacking trip. However, Luke's made the yearly backpacking and camping trips better since. Glad to have you here as a groomsman and unofficial bouncer.
