Amie Howell
Maid of Honor
I've known Amie since we were in Kindergarten! Needless to say, we've been through a lot together. I am thankful to have her as my maid of honor, not because she'll look freaking HOT in my bridal party, or that she'll make a rockin' speech during the reception, but because I love her and she is one of my closest and dearest friend! We plan to have our kids at the same time so that we may raise them together and that they too will be each other's best friends!
Amie is currently a high school English teacher working on her Master's Degree. She has two adorable cats, an eye and stomach for great eateries and the best penmanship that God could bestow on anyone!
Mindy Le
Bridesmaid
Mindy has just graduated from nursing school and will soon follow in my footsteps! lol. Hopefully, she'll find a murse like I did too! Mindy is very adventurous and is a lot more gutsy than I am when it comes to trying out new things! She once took a backpacking class where she camped out under the stars and carried a thirty-pound backpack! The youngest of five sisters, Mindy is the most daring, bold and bravest of us all.
Avi Morales
Bridesmaid
Avi is slow at everything! She's slow at getting ready in the morning, she's slow at eating, she's slow at being slow! Yet she has a mind that is quick (minus calculating simple math problems), witty and funny! You could make fun of how slow she is, but she's quick to pull out a comeback out of nowhere! I'm thankful to have her as one of my bridesmaids. We've been through a lot together and it was obvious that I would want her to be a part of the wedding. Now to work on getting her to be there on time...
Rabia Mirza
Bridesmaid
Rabia is the most giving and selfless person I know. I met Rabia our first year in college at tennis class. We immediately hit it off! From there, I decided that our friendship was a miracle (something that Amie still mocks me about to this day!). We just had so many commonalities and unique coincidences that it seemed as though we were destined to be friends! Rabia currently works as a social worker and because of her field of work, it comes to no surprise that she is patient, understanding and calm at situations that can be chaotic! I am thankful to have her as one of my bridesmaids.
Athena Dang
Junior Bridesmaid
Athena is currently in seventh grade and her hobbies include reading, shopping and listening to music. She is definitely related to this family of mostly girls because of her love for shopping! She even gives suggestions to me and her mom! I am so proud of Athena and all of her accomplishments. Athena is growing into such a beautiful and intelligent young lady!
Meggan & Madison Pham
Flower Girls
My two little nieces are the cutest little girls in the world! And I'm not just saying it because they're related to me, it's true...even Alex agrees! They love each other so much and they get along so well together.
Meggan (on the right) is a loving, nurturing, caring big sis that's always looking our for her younger siblings. She is 9 years-old and entering 2nd grade this year. She has an amazing artistic ability and loves to swim, dance, sing and go on roller coasters!
Maddie (on the left) is a rambunctious, energetic and affectionate 6-year old that can sometimes get into a little mischief! She just recently decided to give herself a haircut, so now her bangs are choppy and uneven, but it gives her punk-rock look!
We love my little nieces and can't wait to see them dressed up and cute on our big day!

Tranor, my little big brother; he is a big guy with a big heart. I am very proud to have him as my best man. I know that Tractor would be there for me through thick and thin, although we are 2,225 miles apart (I mapquested it).
My favorite part about Tranor is that he is a big goof like me. He has grown into a great, respectable and generous man. I can only hope that I have impacted him in a positive way.

Favorite Quote: "Hey uh...could I get that money, yeah, I believe you owe me $2.13"
Status: Single and a rockstar!!
Comments about Mark:
We have had a great friendship for many years. It was funny that I initially thought Mark was one of the stuck-up high school baseball players, until we found a very common ground...music. Not only did we both enjoy playing guitar, but we were into the same heavy rock/metal bands! We have played in multiple bands together ranging from garage bands to professional bands such as Ellerman. It has been a pleasure hanging out with Mark and sharing great memories together. Even though he can wear a thick skin sometimes, I know that deep down inside he is a great guy!

-Comments about Michael:
This picture says a thousand words and if you were in nursing school with us, you would know exactly what I mean. Blood, sweat, tears, famine, and beer = nursing school. Michael is a very bright, kind man. I could trust Michael with anything of mine. However, never expect him to be on time, although I'm not very punctual myself. I look forward to a great friendship with him for the rest of our days!

Age: 26
Hobbies: Drums, writing songs, and going to the beach.
Favorite Quote: "Dude, I'm over it"
Status: Single, well, kind of
Comments about Jason:
Jason...Yes, he is shirtless. In fact, he is often shirtless and when I met him, he was probably shirtless (typical drummer!). I met Jason from an ad in the Los Angeles musician classifieds. I was looking for a drummer to jam with at the time when I first moved out to Orange County in 2004, and that was when I stumbled across Jason. Who would have ever thought that you could meet such a great friend through classifieds?! Haha. Jason is a very talented drummer and hopes to find the right band soon, as he is driven for the passion of playing in a professional band. Hang in there dude! I know that we will be great friends for a very long time.

Comments about Quintin:
My little bro is going to be someone famous. He is so multi-talented, he can do anything. I can't wait to see him all grown up, even though he has grown so fast already. I am proud to have such a funny little dude for my brother. I know that we will also have a great friendship and bond the rest of our lives!
Jimmy Le
Bride's escort down the aisle
Jimmy is my twin brother and is the only brother in a sea of women! He is the complete opposite of me, yet we get along so well. Jimmy is outgoing, funny and very independent. He could be a total lady's man at times, but also a guy's guy too! He has grown into such a handsome man and I'm looking forward to having him walk me down that aisle!
