Angela

Sister of the bride! Angela recently moved to Oregon to pursue her dreams of living in nicer weather. She is a pro adventurer and always makes the family vacations unforgettable experiences. As sisters they’ve had lots of fun travelling to see each other, hiking, eating, or just relaxing playing board games. We are so excited for Angela to be a part of our special day.

Anh

Anh and Beverly met through a mutual friend to go rock climbing and discovered they actually lived next door to each other and went to the same church! They have had lots of fun talking, cooking meals together, and having game nights. Anh even helped Beverly make a Halloween costume when she foolishly thought making a Halloween costume out of standard ribbon was a good idea. Anh is also the talented photographer behind the On and Auf Collective capturing photos of Richard and Beverly at Playalinda Beach prior to their engagement. We are so excited for Anh to be a part of our special day.

Emily

Co-counselors for life! Emily and Beverly met as campers at Camp Waluhili and became good friends. Then as adults, they were paired as co-counselors and continued the bonding! Emily and Beverly have also been strong Musical partners, sharing memes, news, and fun shows with each other. They even travelled to New York City to go to a week’s worth of Broadway shows! We are so excited for Emily to be a part of our special day.

Sarah

“Twin” of the bride, Sarah and Beverly became friends immediately upon meeting each other in middle school at Camp Waluhili. Realizing how much they liked each other, and that their birthdays were one day apart, they called themselves “twins” and haven’t looked back! Although they don’t get to see each other often due to living in different states, they always pick up like no time at all has passed. We are so excited for Sarah to be a part of our special day.
