Wedding Party

Mary Chen-Huang (Matron of Honor)

I met Mary during our first year of college since she lived across the hall from one of my high school friends. Our friendship started over early morning cramming sessions for our chemistry exams and blossomed over our countless late night studying and snacking sessions. Mary graduated from UC San Diego with a major in Microbiology and studied Dental Hygiene at USC. She has been happily married for two years and is currently working as a dental hygienist.

Isah Dualan  (Bridesmaid)

Isah and I met when we both interviewed for fellowships at UC Merced. Even after spending just half a day together, we kept in touch. As luck would have it, we both ended up getting positions at UC Merced and grew to be very close friends during our year of work with the university's inaugural class. Because we manage to finish each others thoughts and often get confused as sisters, people started referring to us as twins. Isah graduated from UC Davis, received her Masters degree in Biology from Hofstra University, and is now working as a Research Associate in Forensic Psychiatry.

Sirena Ung (Bridesmaid)

Sirena is my younger sister and has always been there to support me through life's ups and downs. She graduated from UC San Diego with a major in Art and is now doing freelance work as a Graphics Designer.

Diem Vo (Bridesmaid)

Diem and I have been attached since we met in the sixth grade. We played tennis and soccer in high school together, graduated the same rank from high school, and went to the same college at UC San Diego. Even though we are no longer taking the same career paths, we have remained close friends. Diem recently finished her last year of medical school at Western University of Health Sciences and is currently completing his first year of residency in West Virginia.

Cliff James De Vera (Best Man)

I met CJ in high school at Bosco Tech. Because we were both in Materials Science technology and lived relatively close to each other, we hung out a lot. CJ graduated from UC Irvine with a major in Economics. Through college and after school, we have always been in touch with our regular happy hours. CJ currently works at a video gaming company.

Dong Dao (Groomsman)

I met Dong while pledging during pharmacy school. He was one of the reasons why I got so involved in school. He 'convinced' me to run for different leadership positions through school. He and I survived "two years of board" which is no easy feat. He completed his pharmacy residency at Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach and is a newlywed.

Leroy Le (Groomsman)

I met Leroy while pledging during pharmacy school. He sat in the row behind me for almost 3 years. Leroy loves everything and anything to do with Vegas and is the friend to call when in need of a "road trip". He is currently working as a pharmacist at Kaiser Permanente.

Patrick Shin (Groomsman)
I really got close to Patrick during my 3rd year of pharmacy school when we were on fraternity board together. He is the funniest, most creative, best-dressed, chill person I know - and he's single. =) Patrick is the feel good kind of person that you want to surround yourself with all the time. Patrick completed his first year pharmacy residency at VA West Los Angeles and is currently doing his second year residency in drug information at Kaiser Permanente.
