The Sacred 7

Sometimes the most awkward part about weddings is choosing the bridal party. There's the question of "is she going to ask me?" that looms over the friends of the bride. But I must say that was one of the easiest decisions for me. My girls didn't really need to be asked, but for the sake of formality, I did anyways. I don't think any of them were surprised to be asked which in turn reminds me that I have some of the bestest friends in the world. I have very special relationships with each one of them individually and I could not be more happy to have them stand by my side on our wedding day.
Matron of honor: My sister, Yuri. My soul sister. My other third, I should say.
Maid of honor: My little sister, Alex. My baby girl-that's not such a baby anymore.
Bridesmaids: Chung Yee, my best friend of 18 years from high school. There really
aren't words that can describe my friendship with her.
Jennifer, she's like my long lost sister whom I met through an ex! You
never know when and where you'll meet people that will impact
your life.
Stephanie, she's my twin. Quite literally! My girlfriend from church
who shares many of my joys and passions of life. No wonder
she's my twin. She's expecting in October!
Judy: Yet another best friend of 18 years from high school. We've
been through 2 decades of just about everything. She is one of
sweetest people I know and you'll know what I mean when you
meet her.
and last, but not least,
Fannie: Another high school best friend of 18 years. Fannie reminds
me of what friendships are about. She's intentional and takes
care of the people that are close to her and I am so grateful
that I've been a part of it.

I am overwhelmed by the friendships and the sisterhood that I have been given and am the luckiest girl to have them be a part my life.

Our Photographer

We have chosen our photographer! We are very excited to have signed a contract with the amazing Tara Rochelle. My girlfriend, Judy used her for her own wedding and her photos were nothing short of perfect, so it was an easy choice for us. Tara is very easy going and down to earth and that's the one thing we were looking for in a photographer. She truly is AMAZING!

The Reception Site

We wanted that feeling of "this is the place" and that's what we felt when we walked into the Sheraton Delfina of Santa Monica. It's got a modern, simple feel and that's what we were looking for. It's not grand, nor is it very formal, but we think it's just right for us. It's a small boutique hotel so it's a little different from other Sheratons. This is where we will have the people we love most share our big day with us.

Our Church

So we are 13 months out and we have chosen our church! We are going to be married at Trinity Baptist Church of Santa Monica. After meeting with Pat Allison and looking at the church we have decided that this is the place our day will begin...

The Future Wongs

Our dear friends Lu and Alan celebrated our engagement with us tonight. How sweet are they! We headed out to K-Town for some Korean BBQ at a new place called Mu Dong Lu Pao Po Kamidahhhhh. It's so fun to be with people that are in the same boat as you are. Lu and I spent 87% of dinner talking about our future plans for our weddings and there is no one that understands or can appreciate the joy of engagement than another engageeeee. This is one pair that we can let our hair down with. Anything goes when we're together and that's what makes our friendship unique. Tommy and I always love being with these 2. From "the best weddings ever" and to conversations of armpits - we always walk away with a fond/funny memory that will go down in the books. Thanks Lu and Alan for a wonderful night out. We are so happy to have you in our lives.
