Stefanie is my younger sister by 2 ½ years. I am proud to say that she is one of my closest friends. Because we both attended Cal, she and I have spent most of our lives together. Stef and I are constantly sharing tips on new books, recipes, movies, folk singers, and the latest styles at the Gap.

Stefanie is currently a dental student at UOP School of Dentistry in San Francisco. She is a very gifted artist and musician, and is also a fabulous cook.

I met Anna during our pledge semester at Delta Gamma. Anna is a friend that can liven up a party, yet can also engage people in a great conversation. She and I have enjoyed many hours of mental aerobics contemplating such issues as feminism, relationships, and international politics.

Anna is currently a law student at UC Hastings in San Francisco. She is a talented artist and a very supportive friend.

Sara is the woman who got me through law school. She was my study buddy and my support system during those three long years. Sara is a role model for me because she is a positive, caring, and generous person. She has also shown me what it means to be a good friend.

Sara is a practicing attorney specializing in business litigation and bankruptcy law in Los Angeles. She enjoys heath and fitness, and participates in fitness competitions.

Gina & I met in the dorms at Cal and later pledged Delta Gamma together. Because Gina & I have a lot of the same interests, we have shared many an adventure. We have experienced lots of art, music, and dance; experimented with different types of fitness (belly dancing); and tried various genres of food (many of them were on our recent trip to Spain).

Gina currently lives in Manhattan and works for an investment bank. She is a budding guitar player and jewelry maker.

Alisha & I try to remember how we became friends way back at Lincoln High School, but we can never come up with an answer. All we know is that one day we didn't know each other, and the next day we were hanging out all of the time. Even today, Alisha is involved in most aspects of my life -- whether it be with college friends, law school friends, or my career. When I spend time with Alisha, it is hard not to smile.

Alisha is a law student at Santa Clara. She is a fabulous golfer and an even better shopper.

Andrea & I became friends our junior year of high school. From that day on, I spent nearly every day at the Louie house. Over the years, I have enjoyed visiting Andrea wherever she has lived. She has introduced me to the "LA scene" and to deep-fried okra in Dallas. Andrea has also personally taken it upon herself to help me improve my wardrobe. I don't like shopping without her!

Andrea is a buyer at Neiman Marcus in Dallas. She likes to play golf and to do charity work.

Jen & I first "bonded" working on our high school newspaper. Then, we went on to Cal to become Delta Gamma pledge sisters and roommates for two years. I was also a bridesmaid in her wedding this past May. Jen & I both have the gift of gab and giggle. We can spend hours at a time talking, and our similar sense of humor keeps us laughing.

Jen works in human resources at Hume Lake Christian Camps. She is a Cal Bears fan and an active follower of politics.

Debbie and I met in the 3rd grade, and have been friends ever since. In elementary school, we were both Barbie enthusiasts, and would spend our entire weekend playing together. In high school, we took joint guitar lessons from my mom. I was also a bridesmaid in her wedding in 1999. Today, we only get to see each other about every other year. But, whenever we meet up, it's like time hasn't passed at all.

Debbie is a kindergarten teacher in Colorado. She loves scrap-booking and the great outdoors.

Ryan is my little brother by 3 ½ years and is a close friend. Since he started attending Stanford, we developed a healthy rivalry consisting primarily of my bad mouthing Stanford while he reminds me of the Cal vs. Stanford Big Game record over the last 7 years. Ryan and I have grown up together sharing almost everything from our 1969 Toyota LandCruiser to an appreciation of theater.

Ryan is currently finishing his Masters in Biology at Stanford and plans on attending medical school starting this fall (hopefully in California, we all have our fingers crossed).

Like all my other groomsmen I met Kenny at Sigma Chi. After graduation from Berkeley, Kenny and I were roommates for three years while Mindy attended law school. During this time, Kenny has become like my second little brother, pulling off pranks and helping me relax in times of stress. Kenny has been a huge help in putting this wedding together and although we are not following his suggested color scheme of baby blue tuxedos for the men, it is Kenny's hard work that created this website.

Kenny is currently a Marketing Manager for Hotwire in San Francisco, and is probably responsible for at least some of the spam you receive via email. Kenny is also the only truly eligible bachelor in the wedding party so watch out ladies.

Another fellow Sigma Chi pledge brother, Jimmy is a true friend. While living in Sigma Chi Jimmy was my first roommate in the fraternity. Sharing a love for skiing, Jimmy and I have spent countless winter days skiing in Tahoe. Also, it is thanks to Jimmy's impeccable study habits in the UC Berkeley library system that ultimately led to Mindy and my first date.

Jimmy currently works in Sales for Bloomberg out in New York, but he spends his free time flying around the country to spend time with his girlfriend June who currently lives in Chicago.

I met Robert on the first day of orientation at UC Berkeley and he is my first friend from college. While in college it was Rob and his family who would invite (and still do) our friends over for dinner for a tasty home cooked meal. Over the years, Rob and I have spent many frustrating afternoons on the golf course trying to become golfers.

Rob is currently a second year Medical Student Hahnemann in Philadelphia, where he spends most of his time freezing in the cold weather or studying in the library.

Renzo is my only groomsman who is not a pledge brother. But, over the past eight years both during and after college we have been close friends. Either on the tennis court playing doubles against my brother and mother or eating Cuca's in Santa Barbara, Renzo is always ready for a good time.

Renzo currently works as an Investment Banker for CSFB in San Francisco where he spends much of his free time on the phone or on a plane visiting his girlfriend Heather in Boston.

Another pledge brother from Sigma Chi, Pete is the only other engineer in the wedding party. Both during and after college, Pete has helped provided guidance and advice while at the same time helped to keep life in perspective.

Pete currently works as a Sales Engineer for Xtime in Burlingame; however, he plans on attending Business School at Wharton starting in this fall. When Pete isn't working, he spends much of his time with his girlfriend Anna who is also in the wedding party.

Tyler is truly the only responsible member of this group. I met Tyler and his wife Katie on my second day of orientation at UC Berkeley and we have all been friends ever since. Over the years, Mindy and I have spent some of the most enjoyable and memorable evenings with Tyler and Katie, from their apartment in Richmond to their home in Redondo.

Tyler is currently a Creative Advertising Designer at Team One Advertising in Los Angeles.
