Natasha & Alex
Wedding Party
Erin Klubek
Maid of Honor
Erin and I met at MidAmerica Nazarene University while studying music together, and from the very moment we bonded over opera, we’ve been inseparable. She is literally my other half. I’m not sure how I would have navigated life without her by my side. We’ve shared countless unforgettable moments, but some of my absolute favorites are the times when we just break into song and sing our hearts out, whether it’s opera or musical theater. We also love to watch Bridgerton, sip tea, and enjoy sandwiches. And, of course, we’re always bingeing rom-coms and laughing so hard we can’t catch our breath. From duetting Mozart to singing on stage in Italy, to now having you stand beside me on the most important day of my life, our friendship has only grown deeper. Erin, you will always be my favorite duet partner. I’m beyond grateful to have you here today, and every day. Thank you for being the amazing, supportive, and irreplaceable friend that you are.
Jason Kurtzman
Best Man
I met Jason two years ago, and honestly, it’s crazy how much we’re alike—it’s like we’re literally two of the same person. He’s my other half, I swear. We bond over everything from computers and hacking to games and tech. If you walked into a room with Jason and me, you’d probably find seven different computers and way too many books about technology. When Jason’s over, we always end up in my "tech layer"—a room filled with gadgets and gear. We can easily spend hours in there, just messing around with computers and talking about tech things that nobody else understands. Our families probably think we work for Microsoft because we’re the go-to guys when something breaks. As I always say, Jason is like my brother from another mother. I’m beyond grateful to have him by my side on this special day. His friendship means the world to me, and I’m incredibly lucky to have him in my life.
Elizabeth Seals
Bridesmaid
Liz and I met through Erin, and the three of us quickly became inseparable. Some of my favorite memories with you are when we watch the Chiefs together and paint our nails, or when we get lost in Barbie movies and sing along like no one’s watching. And let’s not forget, Liz—you have the best Preminger voice of all time! We also share a love for makeup and skincare, and when we’re together, we’re usually shopping or grabbing some food. There’s truly nothing better than a girls' bond that lasts a lifetime, and I’m so incredibly grateful to have you by my side on this special day. Thank you for being a part of this journey with me—I honestly couldn’t imagine it without you.
Benjamin Krause
Groomsman
I met Benjamin in a Slavic language class at JCCC, and from that moment, we became great friends. As you all know, Alex “stole” him away, and now he’s one of Alex’s closest friends. Together, we share a deep passion for our Ukrainian heritage and food. Benjamin is the kind of guy who’s always playing Slavic music and bringing over European alcohol to share. On weekends, you can often find us at Ukrainian cultural meet-ups, enjoying delicious food, sipping drinks, and soaking in the music. I’m so grateful to have you by my side, Benjamin, and I’m honored to have you in my life. Thank you for being a true friend and for being there for us through it all.
Cassidy Bingham
Bridesmaid
Cassidy and I met through work—we started at the same time, and from the very beginning, I knew she was someone special. What started as a simple work connection quickly turned into an incredible friendship, and even though we’ve only known each other for a year, it feels like we’ve been friends forever. Cassidy is the kind of person you can truly count on. She’s been there for me through everything—whether it’s work challenges, life struggles, or just the everyday ups and downs. I can talk to her about absolutely anything, and I know she’ll always listen with an open heart and give the best advice. She just gets me on a level that’s hard to find, and I am so grateful to have her in my life.
Max Roh
Groomsman
My brother, Max Roh, has always been one of the most important people in my life, and I am so incredibly grateful that he gets to be part of this special day. Having him stand by my husband's side is so meaningful to me because this wedding isn’t just about the two of us—it’s about family, love, and the people who have been there through it all. Max and I grew up together, and during our time in Ukraine, I took care of him in many ways. He has always been my little brother, but also my greatest friend. We’ve shared so many moments, from childhood memories to life’s challenges, and through it all, our bond has remained unbreakable. He is kind, strong, and someone I am endlessly proud of. To have him by our side as we take this next step in life means the world to me. From Alex I am so excited to have Max standing by my side on our wedding day. Over the years, we’ve developed a truly special bond, and I am so grateful for the relationship we have built. He is more than just my brother-in-law—he’s like a brother to me. Max and I have shared countless conversations, and I know that he can always come to me whenever he needs advice, support, or just someone to talk to. I feel honored to have been a part of his life and to have played a role in helping him grow. Our friendship is something I deeply value, and I’m beyond grateful that we get to share this important moment together.
