I met Jessica when we were roommates...
in Los Angeles. I am so happy that our friendship stayed so strong throughout the years, and I am honored to be a part of this special day. Christian and Jessica are the epitome of true love, and I wish them many years of happiness.

I first met Jessica at SF City Hall...

and we became instant friends, most likely because we consider something like reading through the City’s budget book as fun and intriguing!

I've known Jess since...

our days at Berkeley when we were young and fiery. I've cooled down a bit, but she hasn't lost any of her fire - watch out Christian! :) She is one of my closest friends and one of the few people in the world I consider my family.

Hi everyone! My name is Jonathan...

and I always felt that Jessica and I shared the goal of changing the world for the better. I have appreciated our journey to the stars, and I am glad that we have supported each other through the hard times and the good times.

Hey folks, my name is Wes!

As a San Francisco native who hates the term “San Francisco native”, I also attend the University of Washington. I got to know Jessica & Christian when they first moved up in 2018 as I was interning for (and eventually working alongside) her in the Sunset. As I’ve grown older, they’ve transformed from some of my biggest influences and into some of my closest friends.

Directions & Map

San Jose International Airport

If you are choosing to fly to our wedding, the San Jose International Airport is the closest airport to Gilroy. You will still need to arrange for ground transportation, however, as it does still take approximately 35 minutes by car to Gilroy and/or the wedding venues. 

Unfortunately, there is no direct public transportation available from the airport, and Ubers and Lyfts can be scarcer than in populated locations. Please arrange for carpooling options from the airport to the wedding venues/hotels ahead of time if possible.

Thank you, and please let us know if you have any questions:

Santa Clara Valley Wineries

If you would like to learn more about what Gilroy has to offer, we would highly recommend checking out some of the wineries in the area. Gilroy is part of the historic Santa Clara Valley, one of California’s oldest wine growing regions and home to more than 35 family-owned wineries and tasting rooms. Even though some of Gilroy’s wineries have been around since the turn of the century, they are still one of California’s best-kept secrets when it comes to wine tasting!

In fact, Verde Vineyards and Satori Cellers are located right next to the wedding ceremony. They are open from 12-5 pm on the weekends, so feel free to check them out before heading on over to the ceremony!

Gifts
婚礼紅包 - Wedding Red Envelopes
Gifts

Dearest Family and Friends,

We are but simple folk.

We do not understand registries, so we do not have one.

Of course, you are welcome to make our day extra special by just bringing us gifts or donations on the day of the festivities. We welcome all red envelopes aka 紅包 as it is the traditional Chinese custom to bring red envelopes to weddings. We recognize that this is the last time we will receive red envelopes since the Chinese custom is for married couples to give red envelopes to the next generation.

Thank you all, and we look forward to seeing all your lovely faces. As always, please don't hesitate to contact us at jessica.jasmine.ho@gmail.com or cj.kropff@gmail.com if you have any questions. Thanks!

~Jess and CJ
