Kanika is my longest-best friend, and I have known her since we were in grade 6. From our time as mission companions and coworkers to living together and navigating university life, we've truly been through it all. We’ve shared countless moments that have shaped who I am and created a bond between us that feels unbreakable.

Jerry and I go way back to my first semester at BYUI. He became my mentor and long-time best friend. From doing hackathons together, late-night snow skidding drives in the Walmart parking lot, cooking awesome Mexican food under his guidance, and hanging out and playing Magic the Gathering or video games, we have grown a friendship that goes past college. We've been through the highs and lows together and created an awesome bond as brothers.

Phenich has been my longest-best friend in church since we were 12 years old. From the very first day we met back in the primary at a church activity, I knew that our friendship was something truly special. We’ve laughed, cried, and created a million memories I will cherish forever. You’ve been more than just a friend to me; you’ve been a sister, a confidante, and someone who has always had my back.

Gavin and I instantly became friends when we met during an Intermediate stats class at BYU-Idaho. That time marked an amazing friendship beyond the classroom and onto so many adventures as well as nerdy talks about Data Science, talks about spiritual doctrine and relationships, and our ongoing friendship beyond college. He is always someone I can go to and has been with me through both our highs and lows. Gavin is a "brother-from-another-mother" to me and someone I am grateful to count as my best friend.

Pasi is my beautiful islander girl from the stunning Island of Tonga. Our friendship started when I looked back at all the time we’d spent together, from our days at Gateway PCC to now working side by side as RAs. I’m filled with gratitude for the incredible friendship we’ve built. You’ve been more than just a coworker to me; you’ve become like a sister who knows me inside and out.

Alex is my fiancé's best friend's boyfriend hailing from a part of the City of Angels called Rancho Cucamonga (same place where my friend Jerry is from fun fact). Our friendship started from our first meeting when Channa introduced me to Nika who introduced me to him. He is such a patient and funny person who we both have grown to become brothers on the island of Oahu!

Pamela is my best friend and Temple partner. .Our time at the temple has been especially meaningful, and I’m so grateful for the bond we’ve built through our shared faith and love for the Lord. Your big heart and Christ-like love for others are truly inspiring, and I am so thankful to have someone like you in my life.

Sunnara and his wife June were so kind to let me stay with them when I came to the beautiful islands of Hawaii to visit Channa. We have been great friends bonding over our love for Japanese culture and spear fishing. He is such an amazing individual and has been a big part of our love journey.

Raklin is our unwavering pillar of support in our love journey. You have been a big part of our love journey of both of us. I want to create more memories with you as I move to the next step. I want to share a special moment and am thankful to have you in my life.

One of the funniest and humblest dudes I have met and such a huge support for Channa and me hosting me to stay with them during my visits to Hawaii. He and Raklin are the sweetest and an amazing duo I am so grateful to have met.

Rachael is Trevor's beloved younger sister and my soon-to-be sister-in-law. You are a remarkable woman who means the world to Trevor, and as we celebrate our special day, I am honored to have you stand by my side. I want to create more memories with you as I will become part of your family. I am thankful and blessed to have someone like you in my life.

Sreng is a good friend to Channa and me and was one of the first people I met when I visited Channa for the first time in person. He is an awesome individual and such a great friend and support to Channa.

Jay is my favorite Filipina best friend. It feels like just yesterday when we first found out that we were going to be roommates, and we were both so excited! From those late-night talks about everything under the sun to all the laughter, tears, and random adventures we’ve shared, our friendship has grown into something truly special. You’ve become more than just my first roommate—you’ve become one of my dearest friends.

Michael is such an awesome person and friend to Channa and I. He drove Channa down to meet and pick me up from the airport when I came to visit her in person. He is super funny and a dear friend to us both. We are so happy to have him as one of the groomsmen. :)
