iris lee

Iris was born in California (New Year's baby!) to her parents, David and Yehrang Lee. David and Yehrang already had a son named Sherwin at the time. Iris's family moved to the opposite coast (FL) in 1988, where they eventually settled in Satellite Beach. Iris's favorite hobby growing up was dance - tap, ballet, jazz, gymnastics, and pointe. She attended numerous competitions as well.

After graduating from high school in 2003, Iris moved to Gainesville, FL, where she became a Florida Gator and attended the University of Florida. Iris graduated UF in 2007 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. In the fall after her graduation, she participated in the Disney College Program as a Character Performer, rekindling her love of performing and beginning a long-standing career working with guests in theme parks.

In January of 2008, Iris started an accelerated nursing program at the University of South Florida in Tampa. She graduated with her Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree in the summer of 2009. After weeks of studying and preparation, Iris took her NCLEX and became a Registered Nurse in June 2009.

Iris has since then worked in a few local hospitals, but she found that she was happiest when working at theme parks. Throughout her adult life, Iris has worked as an educator at SeaWorld, a customer service representative at SeaWorld, continued working in Entertainment at Walt Disney World, and worked as a RN at Wet 'n Wild Health Services. 

Iris currently works as a RN at Health Services at Universal Orlando Resort and loves her job there.

Iris enjoys living in FL and all that it has to offer - especially the warm weather. She enjoys checking things off her bucket list with her fiancé, Paul.

Paul lalli

Paul was born and raised in Western Massachusetts. His parents, Frank & Janet Lalli, are also the proud parents of his three siblings, Michael Lalli, Jessica (Lalli) Biskup, and Megan (Lalli) Sevvom. He also has a fourth sibling, Amanda Rose, whom he met later in life.

Leaving Massachusetts after High School in 1997, Paul moved to New York to attend college at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, eventually earning his Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. He stayed in the Albany, NY area until 2011. At the time, he was working from home, for Bank of America. Realizing that he had not actually visited his work office for over a year, Paul sought approval from his boss to leave New York and move to Florida, theorizing that since he visited Disney so often, this way he would actually save on airfare!

In August of 2011, accompanied on the road trip by his sister Amanda, Paul packed up his belongings and hit the road for Florida. Since the move, Paul has discovered that the Orlando area has much more to offer than just Disney and very quickly grew to love his life here.

Paul is a software engineer & web developer at a small company in Casselberry, FL.  In his free time, he enjoys the theme parks, escape rooms, SCUBA diving, and anything new and exciting he can try with his fiancée, Iris.

Melody Lee - matron of honor

Melody is Iris's sister-in-law, wife of Iris's only brother Sherwin. Melody and Sherwin met while attending Georgia Tech. She graduated in 2005 with a bachelor's degree in Polymer Fiber Engineering. Melody is a stay-at-home-mom to three children: Abigail, Micah, and Elizabeth (and the family's two dogs, Luna and Hagrid). She enjoys cooking, art, and tutoring. She also homeschools Abigail part-time. Melody and her family live near Atlanta, GA.

michael lalli - best man

Michael is Paul's oldest sibling and only brother. He graduated from Worcester Polytechnic Institute with an engineering degree in 2007 and quickly thereafter started his journey westward. He landed in Denver where he lived for nearly seven years. While in Colorado he discovered a love for all things outdoors, adopted his adventure-loving pup Kangaroo, and somehow found time to complete his Master's degree. Michael continued his journey west in 2015 and spent two years in San Francisco before relocating to his current home Seattle in 2017. He works for a small tech start-up called Amazon (they'll be big some day, just you wait) and spends any free time he has training for endurance races with his sights currently set on IRONMAN Canada in July, 2018.
