The Wedding Party

Xiaopu's Bridesmaids

Alice Huang

Maid of Honor

My sista! What can I say? We've laughed, cried, ate, slept, fought, shared, and done all sorts of common-day-things with each together. She'll always be part of my life and I couldn't imagine how life would be without her. Alice, although clueless and really lacking common sense at times, is a sweetheart. I'm proud to have her as my Maid of Honor.

Ellie He

Bridesmaid

I've known Ellie since grade four. By grade nine we could finish each other's sentences. She's been one of my bestest-best friends and although we spent less time together in university, the sentiments of our friendship will never go away. We spent so many hours of our life together that she's part of who I have become.

Jean Lu

Bridesmaid

Jean is so easy to get along with that I don't know why the whole world hasn't become her friend yet. She's truly a loveable character. Whenver Ellie and I used to eat teddy bear cookies improperly, she'd shake her fist slowly at us while being unable to keep an angry face because she was too sweet. Btw, Jean, you still haven't broken up with your six year bf... ;)

Jane Huang

Bridesmaid

Jane's my better twin in university. I'm super glad we were in the same program 'cause she's been a terrific friend to hang around with. Everyone loves Jane! Who doesn't? The best part about Jane is that she'll break into Disney songs just as randomly as I would.

Joseph's Groomsmen

Derek Hall

Best Man

What can I say? Derek's a great friend – in fact, you could say he's mighty! Derek and I met in high school, and have been hanging out ever since. He's been my co-consipirator and my DM, my confidant and drinking-buddy. To Derek: Thanks for being here for me once again.

Ryan Consell

Groomsman

I've known Ryan the longest of the party member. Ryan's been both an inspiration and an enabler (plunger cannon anyone?) while always being a breath of fresh air. He's also the first of my friends that Xiaopu ever met (we were both in the Tae-kwon do class where I met Pu). To Ryan: The ride wouldn’t have been nearly as awesome without you.

Jeff Lewis

Groomsman

Jeff is the man behind the name of the company where I work – the Lewis from Lewis Media. He and I first started working together on a volunteer basis at the turn of the century. From cowboy programming to fighting crime in Paragon City, he's been a great friend and partner. Jeff: Glad you can be here to celebrate with us!

Andy Bauman

Groomsman

Andy somehow manages to be both bookends on the spectrum of my friends. This dude makes his own beer and is the king of a massive barbeque... and turns to mush when he sees a puppy. I met Andy through a leadership program where we managed to successfully crash attend a wedding... Andy: you're part of this one, so please no crashing it ;)
