Yen Tran
Maid of Honor
Yen met Hien in Vietnam in the early 1990s. Yen actually really wanted a little brother but her mom brought home Hien instead. But having a sister wasn't all that bad because she has someone to give all her old dolls, clothes and makeup to. Yen is currently a pharmacist working and studying in Phoenix, Arizona. If you see Yen at the wedding, you can ask this handy pharmacist for Pepcid if you have the Asian glow
Tran Le
Bridesmaid
Tran grew up in the same village with Hien in Vietnam. Since there wasn't much to do in this small town, she used to carry Hien on her bicycle as they would take joyrides around the village. It was supposed to be a team effort, but Tran was always the one pedaling on the bicycle. But all that pedaling finally paid off when Hien introduced Tran to her now husband 10 years ago. If you see Tran at the wedding, give this registered nurse, dedicated mother and unwitting bicyclist a high five!
Angela Nguyen
Bridesmaid
Angela met Chris when a stork delivered her to his family. To her dismay, Chris would mix milk and orange juice in her baby bottle to see if she would notice. Angela got her brother back over the years, however, by chasing him down with her nerf gun. Angela is excited to welcome Hien into the family. If you see Angela at the wedding, please say hi!
Fatima Maqsood
Bridesmaid
Fatima met Hien when they both started medical school. They partnered up for their first-ever anatomy lab where Fatima was blown away by Hien’s smarts. They quickly became friends over post-exam ice cream runs and their search for the best burgers and sushi in Arizona. Fatima could not be happier to see Hien and Chris embark on this next chapter. If you see Fatima at the wedding, say hi!
Tran Nguyen
Bridesmaid
Tran and Hien are god-sisters and close friends. Fun fact! Their moms are also best friends. Tran lives in Minnesota with her husband and two beautiful children. Hien was Tran's bridesmaid at her wedding, and Tran is excited to be part of Hien's special day.
Chau Doan
Bridesmaid
Chau and Hien are god-sisters, and they have known each other ever since their days in Vietnam. Chau lives in San Jose with her husband and 3 handsome boys. Hien and Chris were bridesmaids and groomsmen at Chau's wedding. Chau is very excited for Hien and Chris to tie the knot!
Lucas Nguyen
Bestman
As his younger brother of one year, Lucas quickly learned from Chris at an early age that in life, you must always bite back. Lucas was often a test subject for Chris's machinations like attaching airplane wings to his helmet to ride the bicycle faster. Fortunately for him, Lucas was able to fly - fly far away from Chris during college to pursue something not in healthcare like the rest of his family. If you are looking for juicy stories about Chris, Lucas has plenty ready to share.

Hirav Ghandi
Hirav met Chris in high school, but they became lifelong friends after being roommates in college. When Hirav could pull Chris away from his books, they trolled the campus with their political signs and planned massive water balloon fights.
