Katherine's attendants
Cathie Banayo, Matron Of Honor
Cathie was one of the first members of Don's family that Katie met when she and Don returned home from their European adventure. She has always been like a big sis to Katie and was instrumental in helping Don choose the ring. She is a Super Mom of two amazing kids with a career, a stellar sense of style, and is an awesome cook to boot. She does it all and makes it look effortless.Jane Chai, Bridesmaid
Jane and her husband Jason have become fixtures in Don and Katie's life in SF. They are also the genius masterminds behind the design and artwork for Don and Katie's save-the-date card. You can view their other designs at TelegraphPress.com. Among many other things, Jane has some serious skills in practicing yoga, planning trips, designing stationary, cooking, and eco-conscious living. She can also rock Beyonce's dance moves like nobody's business.Linnet Bautista, Bridesmaid
Linnet is Katie's BFF for life. She is a lot like Don in that she encourages and inspires Katie to pursue her interests. She is also Katie's shopping soulmate as they share a strong connection in all things related to style and fashion. Katie is inspired by Linnet's social grace and natural charisma. The world is a better and happier place with this beautiful person in it.Helen Lee, Bridesmaid
Katie met Helen through Cathie many years ago and vowed to have this pint-sized dynamo in her bridal party one day. Helen is sweet, a little sassy, super stylish, very generous, and one of the funniest people you will meet. Don't let her petite size fool you; she will disarm you with her lightening-fast, razor-sharp wit. This girl is the whole package!
Donald's attendants
Young Park, Best Man
Don has known Young since he was the tender age of 14 and has been his best friend ever since they were pimple faced, wide eyed, and timid youngsters. He was always there with the most practical or objective views, cup of coffee, comic relief, and good ol' round of Tekken or Puzzle Fighter to get through the tough times.Emmanuel Banayo, Groomsman
Manny is the eldest of the Banayo trio. He has a Pony Boy heart of gold and is probably the best dad Don knows second to their own of course. He has always been adventurous and one of the most honest and dedicated people that Don has had the privilege of knowing. He flows in and out of hobbies but that just makes him interesting.Patrick Banayo, Groomsman
Rick is a clever lad who excels at being a man of pure substance! He has rapid fire banter with a wit that will cut right through butter and uses some references that Don can't even catch. Was that from a dream? a memory? a movie? tv show?...moving onJason Chai, Groomsman
Jason is a marketing genius, who along with his wife Jane Chai, make up Katie and Don's table of four during their various culinary adventures. Jason is one of the most thoughtful people that Don and Katie have had the opportunity to meet. He does have a tendency to pull the bait and switch while ordering his meals, which eliminates his food choice as a factor when selecting one's own. Having said that, Don and Katie hope to be sharing family-style meals with Jane and Jason until the day they can benefit from Senior Citizen Discounts.
Honorary Groomsman and Honorary Bridesmaid
Despite not standing right next to us, these two are special people in our lives and in our hearts, and were right beside us on our special day.
- Steven Joe, Honorary Groomsman
Good Ol' Steve is a man who people follow! He's Katie's brother who Don is happy to say is his brother too. He got Don to keep up with sports talk, venture out to live concerts, and develop a keen taste for scotch/craft brews/local eateries. Steve has had a pivotal role in the build and development of the Man Cave which has served as Don's sanctuary
- Doan (aka Lana), Honorary Bridesmaid
Doan (or Lana) is the recent addition to Katie's family. She is the girlfriend of Katie's brother Steven. She and Katie both share a love of Sephora and Korean skincare products. She also introduced Katie to Korean Dramas, much to Don's dismay. :-)
