Maya Ikuta – Maid of Honor

Maya Ikuta

Maid of Honor

Carly's sister, professional hypewoman, and the only person trusted to tell the bride when she's being unreasonable.

Steph Mah – Bridesmaid

Steph Mah

Bridesmaid

Met Carly years ago and still generously pretends to laugh at all of her jokes, which shows true dedication.

Christina Nguyen – Bridesmaid

Christina Nguyen

Bridesmaid

Designated holder of the emergency snacks and the only one who actually read the wedding itinerary.

Tori Grant – Bridesmaid

Tori Grant

Bridesmaid

Grew up down the street from each other in Bonavista, so they really had to become friends just to maintain the neighborhood peace.

Megan Bach – Bridesmaid

Megan Bach

Bridesmaid

Agreed to wear the dress, but will be changing into sweatpants the absolute second the photos are done.

Jenna Sie – Bridesmaid

Jenna Sie

Bridesmaid

The true wildcard of the group. If anyone goes missing at the reception, she probably knows where they are.

Hayley Sherriff – Bridesmaid

Hayley Sherriff

Bridesmaid

Will absolutely start crying before the ceremony even begins. Please do not make eye contact.

Josie Paarsmarkt – Bridesmaid

Josie Paarsmarkt

Bridesmaid

The group's designated voice of reason, though considering the group, that really isn't saying much.

Mikael Astejada – Best Man

Mikael Astejada

Best Man

If you need someone to agree to a wildly impractical weekend trip across the globe at a moment's notice, Mikael is your guy.

Brandon Peterson – Groomsman

Brandon Peterson

Groomsman

Always wants to party. Treats the wedding open bar less like an amenity and more like a personal endurance challenge.

Miguel Jimmenez – Groomsman

Miguel Jimmenez

Groomsman

The ultimate 'yes man.' Will agree to absolutely any terrible idea Eugene pitches before he even finishes the sentence.

Hugh Otsuka – Groomsman

Hugh Otsuka

Groomsman

Older brother and personal hotline for whenever Eugene works on a car and somehow ends up with three 'extra' parts that definitely belonged somewhere important.

Questions & Answers

A few details to make planning your trip to Canmore easier.


When and where is the wedding?

Our ceremony and reception will both take place at The Vista at Canmore Nordic Centre Provincial Park. All of the timings are listed in the Schedule section of this site.

What is the dress code?

Dress code is semi-formal. Think cocktail dresses, jumpsuits, or a shirt with dress pants and a jacket. Please keep the mountain setting in mind and choose footwear you’ll be comfortable in all evening.

Can I bring a plus-one?

If your invitation or e-invite includes a guest by name or mentions a plus-one, then absolutely. Otherwise, we’re keeping numbers limited and won’t be able to accommodate additional guests.

How should I RSVP?

Please use the Find Your RSVP link on this website to lookup your invitation. Please let us know whether you can join us, and to share your meal choices and any dietary restrictions.

When is the RSVP deadline?

We kindly ask that you RSVP by August 1, 2026 so we can confirm numbers with the venue and our caterer. Any late responses will not be accomodated.

Where should I stay?

We have arranged discounted accomodations. You’ll find all of the options and booking codes on the Travel section of this site.

What will the weather be like?

Mountain weather can be unpredictable - think cool evenings and the chance of changing conditions. We recommend bringing a light layer or jacket for getting to and from the venue.

Can we take photos during the ceremony?

We’d love for you to be present with us during the ceremony, so we’re hoping to keep it mostly unplugged. After the ceremony, feel free to take and share photos from the reception!
