MAID OF HONOR - WENDY
Wendy and I met our first year of college at UCLA when we lived on the same floor in Reiber Hall - 2 North! We actually met three times before it finally clicked that we had met each other before. Haha. The 3rd time we met, we were actually at a floor mixer in the student lounge and everyone was told to stick 1 shoe into a large bin. We then each had to pick one shoe from the bin and go find the owner. It must've been fate because I got Wendy's shoe (or did she get mine??)! Since that night, Wendy and I have been best of friends. No matter where we are, we manage to chat few times each week, if not daily. Wendy has the sweetest heart and believes the best in people. I am truly blessed to have her in my life. I love you, Wendy!
BRIDESMAID - JENNIFER
Jen and I met while we both at Loyola Law School. I was lucky enough to be in the same track as Jen and we instantly clicked. I struggled a lot at LLS and Jen was definitely a lifesaver. It's really hard to meet quality people, especially in law school because everyone is so competitive (and not because wannabe lawyers are shady!). Jen is brilliant, well-grounded, not to mention gorgeous!, and an amazing friend. We are kindred spirits. I love you, Jen!
BRIDESMAID - JEANIE
One of my oldest friends, Jeanie and I have known each other since 7th grade at Earl Warren Jr. High in San Diego. We've actually known of each other since 5th grade when we had the same piano teacher (remember Mrs. Godkin, her daughter Masha, the telephone and Madonna??) but didn't become friends until I moved into her school district the summer after 6th grade. Jeanie knows the best and worst about me, and I wouldn't have survived the hardest time of my life without her. Jeanie is fiercely loyal, extremely trusting, and maintains a SAT vocabulary! Jeanie is family to me, and I am so happy that she is one of my bridesmaids. I love you, Jeans!
BRIDESMAID - MICHELLE
Michelle and I met our first year of UCLA (along with Wendy) when we were neighbors. We lived in the last 2 rooms of the hallway. We both had less than ideal roommates (Jeanarta! Valerie! EWWWWW!!) and we bonded by hanging out in the hallway together. Michelle was also sweet enough to introduce me to her friends, who eventually became amazing friends of mine as well, including Charity! Michelle and I took our biology classes together, and while I suffered through LS 1 and LS 2, Michelle flourished through the entire series and became the genius professor she now is today! Michelle has such a generous heart and beautiful spirit. I am so lucky to have Michelle as my friend. I love you, Mish!!
BRIDESMAID - CHARITY
I met Charity our first year at UCLA through Michelle. While Mish and I lived on the 2nd floor of Reiber Hall, Charity lived 2 floors above us. The first night of 1st quarter, Michelle knocked on my room door and she asked if I wanted to go up to the 4th floor and meet her friend Charity. Since that fateful day, Charity has been one of my closest friends. Charity is one of those rare and amazing people who has dedicated her life to helping others. I wish I could be as humble, caring, big-hearted, and so intelligent as Charity is. I love you, Char!!
BRIDESMAID - CONNIE
Connie is the youngest of the bridesmaids (lucky girl!) and is Malcolm's cousin. In the past 2 or so years, I've had the chance to really get to know Connie, and I am so glad that I did! Connie is so talented, funny and well-loved by everyone around her. She just started her first year in college and I know she will do so well. I look forward to wonderful things from Connie. I am so happy that she has agreed to be a part of our wedding. I love you, Connie!
