bao ly, bridesmaid
Bao is Aileen's childhood, life-long friend. Aileen and Bao met when they were about SIX years old at Chinese school. Aileen and Bao lived in different cities, went to different schools, and went to rival colleges (USC is better than UCLA). However, Aileen and Bao have managed to stay in touch for many years. Aileen's childhood/adult memories are filled with laughter and great memories shared with her. Bao is beautiful inside and out. Bao has always been the quiet and shy person. Aileen was fortunate to see Bao's personality grow, especially, when she met her husband Juan. Juan has influenced Bao in many great ways and Aileen is happy to have witnessed it. Bao has been Aileen's constant rock and confidant through the years. Aileen is lucky to have a friend like Bao to share in life’s different chapters. Together, Aileen and Bao like to eat, drink, and share their love for their favorite boy band, Backstreet Boys! BSB rules!
mary lee, bridesmaid
Mary is incredible and fills Aileen's life with lots of laughter. Aileen and Mary have so many great memories together. Aileen met Mary through some mutual friends and became roommates soon after. Aileen and Mary initially bonded over their love for Disneyland and the comfortable-ness of TOMS shoes. Aileen does not know Mary her whole life but shes feel like she does! Mary brings so much life and joy to Aileen and many others. Mary has been a fan of Aileen and William from Day 1. Mary became a witness to the budding relationship between Aileen and William. Aileen is grateful for Mary's constant support of her as an individual, and them as a couple. Whether it’s been days or months since Aileen and Mary have seen each other, they always continue like they never skipped a beat. Mary is super thoughtful, considerate, and down-to-earth.
minnie j Hula, dog of honor
There are so many things to say about this furball. She is so silly and very much enjoys a belly rub. Not to mention, she enjoys endless amount of petting. She likes to stick by your side or better yet sit right in your lap. Aileen and William met Minnie at the Carson Animal Shelter. It was love at first sight. Aileen and William loved her the moment they met her and knew she will be a great addition to the HuLa Clan. She once ate a chocolate cupcake from Sprinkles and gave Aileen and William a BIG scare. From that on Aileen and William knew she is a ninja when it comes to food and has an IRON-STOMACH. Aileen and William love to travel with her and try to take her with them everywhere when permitted. She is Aileen and William's little adventure pup. Even though she is small, she always tries to protect Aileen and William. Minnie will love Aileen and William unconditionally and the feeling is mutual.
Jesse Chen, Groomsman
Jesse is William's oldest friend. Together they've spent numerous hours playing Gran Turismo to the song 99 Red Balloons and only to that one single song. Buffets, road trips, camping trips, lounging around, ups and downs, and licking varnish. Jesse is definitely someone whom William values deeply and is greatly honored to have him by his side. Jesse is the kind of friend who would do the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs with!
Anthony Huynh, Groomsman
Anthony is one of William's oldest friends. They've spent many hours inhaling paint fumes and sawdust. William and Anthony has, at least on one occasion, saved Jesse from freezing to death! From shooting archery to watching him get drunk from one adult beverage, their friendship is very important to William. Anthony is the kind of friend who is definitely not a stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder! (ignore the picture, that scruffy beard is a faux knitted beard!)
JJ, best pup
"Pet me!! Pet me!! If you do not pet me, I will nudge you until you pet me!!!" - JJ
This furball is a brat sometimes. Aileen and William loves JJ so much. Aileen’s family rescued JJ from Baldwin Park Animal Shelter. JJ is the first dog in Aileen and William's couple life and brought forth lots of good memories. JJ is both active and silly all the time. JJ loves to follow you around to make sure everything is all-good. JJ ran 13.1 miles with Aileen and accidentally ran on the Pacific Coast Highway near Santa Monica. Dangerous, but JJ stood by Aileen the whole time to make sure she was okay. Even though Aileen and William cannot understand JJ verbally, they know he loves them unconditionally and the feeling is mutual.
Sheng Xu, Darth Vader's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate AKA The officiant
Shenghis, the slum lord, the buffet eater, the Australian Chinese pop star, the only Asian American actor to win an award for staring in a daytime Telemuno Novela, and so many other things. Who is he? No one will ever know. Aileen and William simply know him as THE Shenghis.
Sheng is a dear friend to both Aileen and William. Sheng was Aileen's roommate for a period of time. Aileen and Sheng grew to be close friends and she treasures the time when they hangout. Aileen does not exactly remember how they met, but throw them some beersss, foodsss, and firearms to shoot some clay discs. If all of those requirements are met everything is ALL-GOOOD. Sheng is thoughtful, dependable and a great friend.
