The two men are a perfect match not only because of their Chinese background, but also because they are a perfect match in terms of appearance and background: they are talented and beautiful, tech giants and financial executives who complement the teams at Stanford and Berkeley.
The bride Gloria Zhu is not only Jp.Morgan Private Bank is the vice president and his personal advisor, and the groom, Stanley Tang, is one of the founders of Doordash, better known to us.

The bride's sister, Gloria Zhu, was a first-generation Chinese-American, and her parents migrated from Shanghai to Missouri, so she was born near St. Louis.

She spent her childhood in the Bay Area and was educated at the University of California, Berkeley. She started her career with fintech businesses such as Numeg and Block (formerly known as Square) before moving into family office and asset management.
She has worked with some of the world's most influential families at ICONIQ Capital and has worked as an advisor and engagement manager at Blackrock, advising financial advisors on how to apply technology in their hands.
The groom, Stanley Tang, was born in 1992 and spent his childhood in Hong Kong. Later, he moved to the United States and completed his bachelor's degree in computer science at Stanford University.
In 2013, he teamed up with Tony Xu and Andy Fang to create what is now known as Doordash.
Doordash completed its initial public offering (IPO) in December 2020, and by December 2020, Tang's net worth was estimated at $2.2 billion, and at the age of 30, he has become a billionaire completely.
Some say he has a keen interest in poker, but his level is just average and can be considered a hobby:
The two first met in 2015 at a mutual friend's birthday party at Bar Basic in San Francisco.
At the time, Stanley had just moved to San Francisco from Palo Alto, and his friends advised him to spend more time socially and meet new people.
Stanley recalls his acquaintance with Gloria and finds it full of drama: "It was shocking because I don't drink alcohol and Gloria prefers to go to bed early. But that night, for some reason, we met unexpectedly. ”
Stanley explains: "That night, Gloria walked in alone and my friends and colleagues started pushing us together constantly. "I think she's a very special woman, she's always joking with us. "It really reminds me of that episode from 'The Romance of Mom and Dad.'" After only five minutes of chatting, Gloria started joking with me, and I knew she was different. ”
Gloria still vividly recalls the night they first met, and to her deep horror, she barely went there. Because his arrival made her feel very fresh, "How can this guy not come?"."I just wanted to send birthday wishes to my friends, but I didn't expect that a simple greeting would allow me to find the other half of my life”
The two quickly developed a deep friendship in a short period of time and embarked on an eight-year love journey.
Both of these people don't like to show their affection very much on social ** and are quite low-key.

On November 21, 2021, Stanley proposed to him and another person.
At the time, the home they shared was being renovated, and Stanley felt that the new home would also mark the beginning of a new life for the two, so it would make sense to propose here.
Although the house was not completely renovated, Stanley added lights, candles and flowers to the backyard to make the proposal moment special.
In September 2023, in their eighth year of dating, they chose to hold their wedding at Stanley Ranch in Napa Valley.
Stanley expressed this sentiment: "It's a really unique feeling because we're celebrating our eighth year with you, which could be a sign of fate. In Chinese cultural traditions, 'eight' is regarded as the most auspicious number, representing wealth and prosperity. ”

The couple's wedding design is very creative, skillfully incorporating elements such as food, ** and poker, while also pushing the combination of Chinese and Western cultures to a new level.
With the theme of "Organic, Farm to Table and Whimsical," the wedding dinner chose lavender, green and gold as decorative elements for the ceremony, which complemented the picturesque lavender fields and vineyards of Stanley Ranch.
The Wedding Planner features notable Colin Cowie clients, including Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian, and Tom Cruise, among others.

The guest performers at the wedding were carefully selected by Gloria, and singer and guitarist Kina Grannis, who performed at the wedding in the movie Crazy Rich Money, also sang during the ceremony between the two.
Gloria elaborated on this point: "Given the cultural symbolism of the film for the AAPI community, it is crucial to pay homage to the work and to Kina. She also covered Elvis Presley's song "Can."'t help falling in love》。”
Throughout Gloria's history, her parents have always learned more about American cultural traditions. Under the influence of her parents, she has loved ** and dancing since she was a child. The first CD she received, Elvis Presley's Selection, was a gift from her parents. This song not only made her successful, but also made her realize the true meaning of life. On the happiest days of her life, she chose this song to show her gratitude to her parents for all they had done for her.
I vividly recall that my dad whispered to me, "Ah, no, why did you choose this song?"."I noticed that his eye sockets seemed red, and this song means a lot to us. ”
And the Maroon 5 brings even more shocking surprises. The couple are both big fans of Maroon 5, and when discussing inviting guest performers, they both thought of Maroon 5!

During the show, Maroon 5 was also very much in line with the occasion, singing Sugar's Wedding Divine Comedy, right?
The wedding is full of strong elements of Chinese culture.
For example, Stanley proposes to place a pair of beckoning cats in the wedding bar and hang red lanterns. He is a senior designer for a company. He introduced himself as a Hong Konger, a sign of respect for the Chinese-American heritage.
Tables are indispensable.

It's really interesting to show the beckoning cat. The beckoning cat is a sculpture with movable arms, and the beckoning cat is actually waving his hand, bringing it wealth and good luck. When we started dating, Gloria also had two orange tabby cats, which was perfect for that. We wanted to bring our luck home and bring it to our living room. ”

After taking off her wedding dress, Gloria changed into a striking red silk dress. "This color represents happiness and prosperity in Chinese culture," she said. I made a special modification of the garment to include a Chinese collar as a nod to the traditional cheongsam. I love combining modern tailoring with traditional Chinese details. ”

Stanley's mother presented Gloria with a complete necklace and bracelet set. "I think they're very special, one is a gold ring and the other is a silver earring, both of which are very delicate pieces of jewelry. Gloria explains: "The combination of these two gold bracelets has a traditional Chinese symbolism. "They represent the dragon and the phoenix. In Feng Shui, the dragon and phoenix are seen as a perfect match. ”
In an interview with Vogue, the newlyweds seem to have not fully adapted to their new identity.
"This wedding has come true of my dreams," Stanley said. "We both did a lot of preparation before we got married, including learning how to face difficulties in life and dealing with various relationships. Now I am fully integrated into this new family and have the opportunity to share the joy of life with my wife!"I am very happy to be able to start a new chapter in my life with my wife. Oops – dear, it's going to take a while to get used to. ”
Indeed—I still habitually call you my spouse," Gloria further explained. "Your wife is my wife, and I will always love her!"I can't control my smile every time!I was very fortunate to have met someone I loved so much, who is still filled with happiness and excitement to this day, and we truly cherish every moment. ”
I wish you all the best.
