Thank goodness for Kate...  She is our wedding coordinator, and boy- did we need her!  She has helped keep us organized and at peace (sometimes with each other- haha!)  She's so diplomatic and attentive, this one.  Kate is an event planner, and makes it a habit of hanging with the celebs!  I am excited that mine is the first wedding she has ever worked on putting together, so when she makes it to the big leagues, I have bragging rights!

My friend and "sister" I know this is one person I will be in touch with til I am a little ol' lady off my rocker.  She is kind and genuine, fun and full of surprises. 

Thank you again for all you do, Kate!  You are loved and appreciated beyond words.

Blair came along in the nick of time!  She has been a friend to the bride for a couple of years, having met through a photography referall.  When asked if she would consider helping decorate for our party, she enthusiastically and lovingly replied with a "Yes!" and a "Yippee!"  We are honored to have her join our peeps.

Madicine is Vona's niece and yogi in training!  Her enthusiasm, bubbly personality and natural glow for life make her the perfect person to greet our guests at the door.  Help her do her job by signing our guest book upon arrival.  Don't be surprised if she ends up knowing you by name or giving you a hug!

After losing our father in 2012, Eric (my little brother) became the "man of the house" at age 16.  We asked him to stand beside me on the most important day of our lives so far, because he is the other man in my  heart!  Our dad will be proud to look down from Heaven to witness the bond that continues to grow between us. 

Sarah and I have been been besties since we were 11 years old, trotting down the halls of middle school together.  I don't even have to go into detail about all the many life experiences we have shared together... it's not secret to the world the many reasons why she will stand with me on my wedding day.

When I first saw April, I was at yoga training in Los Angeles.  I found out that I was going to be rooming with her, and at first I was skeptical.  I thought she was so pretty and athletic (perhaps even intimidating), and wasn't sure if I was going to like her much.  

It turned out that the time I spent with her was some of the most memorable moments of my life, and as fate would have it, she is one of my closest soul sisters.  Love ya, Ji!

I met Sarah when she was interviewing for a job at a place where I was working during college.  Of all the people who had interviewed for her position, she was the only one who spoke to me.  (The others were too busy kissing butt to the manager)!  We even realized we had the same hairdo and we were wearing the same earrings, too!  

I was so happy when she was hired- those were the days that we bonded quickly, and have been in each other's lives since.  Camron has even been the third wheel during some girls' nights with her.  

I was honored to also serve as her maid of honor just a couple of years ago. 

Kadence is my sweet niece who I can't wait to watch walk down the aisle with me.  She is so fun and upbeat that giggling is contagious when she is around.  Kadence actually approached me one day and asked me if she could be my flower girl if I ever get married (months before Camron proposed).  How could I say no to such a cute face?

This lovely lady is Camron's niece, and even shares his birthday.   I am proud to say that I got to meet her the day she was born.  One of the most special cuties in our lives, we are sure she will steal the show at one glance of her curly locks.  Being the baby, I am pretty sure she is the boss of her household. 

These ladies are Camron's nieces.  They are sisters and best friends.  We look forward to seeing them every year, as they always shower us with the best hugs and kisses around!  

Kayvon is my older brother and one of the funniest dudes on the planet.  (We can't wait to hear his speech)!  Of all people we know, he is one guy who won't let you down if you are ever in need.  I remember calling on him a few times and without hesitation he had my back.  I am honored to have him stand beside me on a day that matters most. 

I look up to Rick as a good friend and a hardworking family man.  I have known him since 5th grade (how many years is that)?!  We have a lot of memories skipping school and riding in souped up cars together.  Now I've got him into riding bikes and he is starting to kick my butt.  Don't worry, Dude, I will catch back up.

He got me in a lot of trouble.  Need I say more?

Just kidding, Bro.  He has always been a good friend- there in good times and rough ones.  Besides that, he has helped me get through many a race and he sometimes plays the role of "personal trainer."  

That is why he will be there when I marry my girl. 

I've known Oy for ages... we became friends when we met in Saturday school (to make up for the days I missed for skipping with Rick!)   He's a great dad, and makes some damn good sticky rice. 

This is one cool dude.  He hung out with me all summer.  We may have to serve burgers at the wedding just for him!  This kid is super smart, and quite the negotiator.  We think he will be a lawyer or a salesman one day. 

Everybody be careful.  Lucas is coming to the party.  Hide your wives! Hide your dinner!  

Trey Shodja, a little athlete in our family, touched our hearts from the minute he entered our family.  Camron's cousin's son, though he refers to us as "aunt" and "uncle", this guy is full of sweet charm, good looks, and can score a touchdown to boot!  He will usher our parents to their seats on our wedding day- and for them, what a treat!

Alex, (Vona's nephew) is the first of many nieces and nephews who would steal my heart!  With his blonde hair & blue eyes, most people thought he was my child as a baby.  Now that he is older, I can no longer carry him on my hip, but it is my pleasure to have him escort our parents to their seats on our wedding day!
