Maggie and Jawad met in September 2012 in Shanghai, where they embarked on their academic journey for their Master of International Business. They knew they were going to be good friends early on when they received the results from their 200+ question personality assessment and their result maps were nearly identical when overlain on each other’s results. Little did they know how far along their friendship would grow and strengthen over 12 years!

What Jawad loves about Maggie and Jeff is their mutual care, concern, and companionship for each other and looks forward to them completing this milestone through their journey through life together.

Jeff and Bryan have known each other for 25+ years. They met in high school and became fast friends. From there they have experienced many major life events together and watched each other grow into who they are today. Through the good and the bad that life has thrown at them both they have always been there for each other and will continue to do so in the future. Bryan is happy that Jeff found Maggie and he is finally settling down. They both deserve the happiness they bring each other.

Maggie and Szuwei met in middle school where they stuck together for an ungodly amount of time despite being in different grades. During joint P.E., the two of them would ‘run’ around the track in Almansor Park. Both said, “Nope,” to running 8-minute miles. (Note, however, that Maggie went on to do half-marathons and races like Tough Mudder)


Twenty years later, despite often being separated by hundreds, if not thousands of miles, the two have remained the kind of friends you can share your worst hottakes with.


It brings Szuwei great joy that Maggie has found in Jeff a partner she can share even hotter hottakes with. These two are gonna go the distance—just look at how many miles they drive for all their trips to LA!

Maggie and Jeff are both passionate, driven, and exceptional individuals. They compliment each other perfectly, making them such a fun couple to be around. I have always loved the experiences we have shared and the memories we have made when the three of us have gotten to spend time together. I am looking forward to making more at the wedding in Southern California!

Similar to the feeling when you run into a great sale on chihuahua cheese at Costco, unexpected but beautiful. Maggie and Angela met through a mutual friend. Due to their mutual love of dumplings, their friendship started to bloom after their first camping trip in Oregon. What Angela loves about Maggie and Jeff is how they show up for the ones they care about, no matter the distance! Whether it was a surprise baby shower in Portland or our son’s first birthday party in Chicago, Maggie and Jeff were there! Angela is honored to stand by Maggies side on her special day, holding her hair as needed and collecting all the red envelopes from Jeff!

I've known Jeff since the days that I used to live in Fremont CA. I had the opportunity to be Jeff's roommate when we decided to start our college life at DeVry University. Our friendship started when we realized that both drove Nissan 240SXs and as we got to know each other, we've discovered that we shared many things in common: great food, outdoors, and success. These memories have remained sentimental in my life because it was the first time we both moved away from our families, and although we live hundreds of miles apart, he always will remain like a brother to me. I am looking forward to finally meeting Maggie on her wedding day and thankful to be a part of their celebration.
