The Wedding Party

Maid of Honor
Clara Nghiem
Clara is Tasha's sister and is a dentist practicing in Brighton and Aurora. One of Clara's favorite memories with Tasha is actually a collection of memories from their Sister Trip to Maui. They had the absolute best time, they’ve never been closer, and they were girls together. The most memorable part was Tasha running to the beach in full clothes and proceeding to get in the water with said full clothes just to get pictures of the turtles. The picture of Clara in a bikini and Tasha in a full long sleeve and pants in the ocean will live in Clara's brain until the end of time.

They experienced UCLA together as roommates for a year before beginning their long distance friendship. One of Melinda’s favorite memories with Tasha is waking up from a nap at 10pm and violently craving kbbq.

That was the moment both of them knew they'd be friends for life.

In such a short period of time, they became inseparable best friends. Among many great memories, Cynthia cherishes their gym workouts, laughing at odd encounters, and pushing each other's physical limits.
