Wedding Party
Briana Mittleman
Maid of Honor
My brainiac sister. The smartest person I know. Duke University graduate, PhD from University of Chicago, recent Stanford Law school graduate, professional learner. She’s finally going to actually start working, or is there another degree in her future?
Mike Shapiro
Best Man
The dog father! You can find him either in the kitchen making charcuterie boards or on walks with his dogs: Benny and Angie. My older brother.
Melissa Burzler
Matron of Honor
My walking buddy. Instant connection from the first time we met in Greensboro. Always enjoy our long conversations and watching her be a mother to Adina.
Artur Shapiro
Best Man
The real father! New dad to a baby boy so has no time for anything else but he still won’t miss a Celtics game. My twin brother.
Sophia Ruby
Bridesmaid
My polar opposite, a total free spirit. We became friends in room 233 and were co-editors of our high school yearbook. She always puts a smile on my face and reminds me not to take things too seriously.
Bradley Mittleman
Groomsman
My “big” little brother. He still doesn’t know which one is Roman. Master of getting free merch and products, love using all his connections. Amazing tennis and pickleball player. But, I still can’t chew gum anywhere near him. And yes, we recreated this picture in 2016 and smooshed Briana.
Meara Waxman
Bridesmaid
My dependable friend. Friends since my sophomore year at Elon. She’s there whenever I need anything no matter what, including tying all the bows on my invitation, upside down because she's a leftie!
Halim Hage
Groomsman
The officer! We met in high school freshman English Class where I learned about his family and had a strong connection. We then went to college together. I taught Halim how to make his first screwdriver. He has two dogs and they walked down the aisle at his wedding in June 2023.
Jordie Weiss
Bridesmaid
My travel partner in crime. Friends since our Birthright Israel trip in 2016. Many fun trips together over the years making memories. Most memorable was our month spent together during Covid with the mission of finding boyfriends/future husbands. (it worked!)
Frank Zhang
Groomsman
The traveler! From the first school bus ride in middle school to the roulette tables at Mohegan Sun, Frank and I have been best buds since 14 but really since we were 5 at his parent’s restaurant (It was meant to be). Frank is always traveling and has lived in 6 states.
Devon Cross
Bridesmaid
My long time friend with the most caring heart. We met at Camp Taum Sauk and spent many summers together on the Black River, being campers, CITs and then counselors. Since that wasn’t enough we also went to college together.
Joel Simonson
Groomsman
The most recent groom! Joel and I have known each other since preschool and have been friends ever since. He can talk to anyone and always has a smile on his face.
Lydia Cole
Bridesmaid
My horse-loving friend. She introduced me to the world of equestrian competition, who knew? My freshman year suitemate. So many fun times together in Global and at her college townhouse.
Mike Atamanuk
Groomsman
The longest friend! From sleepovers when we were little kids to roommates in college. He is a hard worker and enjoys traveling. Our parents have also been really good friends for just as long.
