Jenny & Nathan

June 1, 2024 • Huntington Beach, CA, USA
Kalee Chau
Kalee Chau - Matron of Honor
Kalee met Jenny prior to classes through the UOP pharmacy Facebook group. When school started a week later, in came a girl in red, sitting down next her - the girl on Facebook! Who would have known they would then become study buddies, roommates, mutual shopping spree enablers, and lifelong besties who talk about just everything! Kalee has a completely opposite personality to Jenny, but they both enjoy arts, exploring, and indulging in good food and boba. Kalee is thrilled to be part of Jenny's big day and she looks forward to many more years of friendship to come.
Vincent Siu
Vincent Siu - Best Man
Nathan and Vincent first met at Burlingame Intermediate School and bonded over video games, butterfly pen tricks, and trading card games. Their friendship continued to grow, and, even though they live apart, they still keep in touch often with video games and Discord. Some highlights of their adventures include travelling together to New York to visit friends, going to anime conventions to buy tons of merch, and helping Nathan propose to Jenny! Whenever they are in the same town, Nathan and Vincent always make time to eat ramen and drink boba.
Celina Chang
Celina Chang - Bridesmaid
Celina is Jenny's lifelong struggle buddy, getting through some of the toughest times together. They met through their first trial - freshman year roommate selection (which was like speed dating with a 1 year commitment); they found each other, and the rest is history. Together they faced countless challenges: classes like ochem and microbio, many battles on the rift, and even finding love. Through the good and bad, laughs and tears, Celina and Jenny struggle infinitely stronger together.
Michael Wong
Michael Wong - Groomsman
Nathan & Michael's relationship dates back 27 years. As the youngest brother of four, Michael always looked up to his older brothers in different ways. Nathan, in his quirky & whimsical ways, was always a pillar of assurance. While very different people, Nathan & Michael bonded through various things throughout their lives - from sharing the best strategies to winning a game of League of Legends, wishful sport aspirations, to reciting random things together as kids. One of the oldest/fondest memories they have together is the piggy bank story -- if you want to hear more about it, ask them at the wedding 😉.
Esther Yi
Esther Yi - Bridesmaid
Esther met Jenny in undergrad during her quest for friends within the halls of the Southwest dormitory. They quickly bonded over Vestside (Southwest and friends) adventures, K-pop, and all things cute. Not only is Esther proud to have contributed to Jenny’s growth as a gamer and weeb, but she is also proud to call Jenny her lifelong friend
Daryl Zhao
Daryl Zhao - Groomsman
Daryl and Nathan first met at BIS in the 7th grade where they shouted their school's chant "We Feel Good". During high school, they bonded through their love for anime and League of Legends. From college and after that, Daryl and Nathan went on trips together, spent hours on Discord chatting and listening to K-pop, and thus deepened their friendship to what it is today. Daryl is ecstatic to be one of the groomsmen on Nathan and Jenny's special day.
Elizabeth Vo
Elizabeth Vo - Bridesmaid
Elizabeth and Jenny became fast friends in college due to their shared appreciation of Vietnamese culture. Many spontaneous road trips, Target runs, and late night phone calls later, Elizabeth is proud to say Jenny’s incredible zest for life has rubbed off on her - that and her love for all things cute, punny, or delicious!
Robert Mitsuda
Robert Mitsuda - Groomsman
Robert and Nathan were two little weirdos who met in elementary school ඞ ඞ. They would often walk home from school together—little did they know that would be the start of a decades-long friendship. It all began with Naruto, Super Smash Bros, and after-school Top Ramen. Robert was fortunate to discover a friend like Nathan, a fellow anime nerd to practice Naruto jutsu with during recess, a boba enthusiast just as excited to wait hours in line at Tpumps for some tea, and a regular companion at the local ramen spot after late-night gym sessions. Robert looks forward to their continued friendship until they’re old and grey. Cheers to many more years swooning over noodles, adventuring the lands searching for the best boba, and raging over League of Legends!
Hana Lee
Hana Lee - Bridesmaid
Hana and Jenny became close through pharmacy school, but any outside perspective would believe they have been friends for longer. Taking the not-so-little, introverted Hana under her little extroverted wings, Jenny and Hana bonded over nom runs, school events, research labs, carpool rides, tasteful tea (not the drinking kind), and “angy” rants. Forever the Pato to her Puff, these two friends have and will continue on for many more years of growth together.
Brandon Ye
Brandon Ye - Groomsman
Brandon and Nathan met in 7th grade homeroom class, and shared many adventures growing up in Burlingame. From exploring the watersheds of Burlingame to building a miniature medieval trebuchet, they could always rely on each other to be great adventure buddies. Brandon and Nathan also have a shared appreciation for Chinese culture and took part together in making the Mills High Dragon come alive in the San Francisco CNY parade and singing 朋友 at Mills High's CNY dinner. Brandon is excited for Nathan's life milestone and looks forward to many more years of being 朋友s!
Siu Kwun
Siu Kwun - Bridesmaid
Siu met Jenny during the first two weeks of pharmacy school, and the two quickly formed a study group. They bonded over many nights and days of helping each other with midterms and finals. Jenny always had the juiciest stories to share and the most daring questions to make us laugh during our study breaks. Jenny’s generosity, loving nature and positivity in life is what Siu wants her 2 kiddos to have when they grow up.
Kevin Leong
Kevin Leong - Groomsman
Kevin and Nathan first met via Theta Tau, a professional engineering fraternity at University of the Pacific. They quickly discovered several mutual interests including Pokemon and League of Legends, and Nathan joined Kevin's family line as brothers. Kevin and Nathan were able to sustain and deepen their friendship after college, thanks to the combined powers of K-Pop, Discord, and responsible amounts of alcohol. Two years ago, Kevin had Nathan as one of the groomsmen at Kevin's own wedding! Kevin is overjoyed to return the favor and celebrate Jenny and Nathan on their special day.
Abby Sabotta
Abby Sabotta - Flower girl!
Fun fact: Abby graduated pharmacy school with us! Or rather, she was along for the ride when Siu crossed the graduation stage.
