Wedding Party
Harout Semerdjian
Father of the Bride
In Memory of my Dad Dear Lord, please keep a spot for him, he should have the perfect view. His little girl is a bride today and she’s counting on you. Please let her feel his presence as she journeys down the aisle but as well notice his absence, if only for awhile. Let her stop to think of him as she is given away and know that if he could, he would be with her today. Dear Lord, please clear a spot for him, he should have the perfect view and if he should get sad today, Dear Lord I count on you.
Esgouhi Semerdjian
Mother of the Bride
My heart is filled with love for you, my teacher, my friend, my mother. For everything I am today, your love showed me the way.
Nazo Semerdjian
Accompanying the Bride
Meet Nazo, brother of the bride. Anyone who knows him knows he is the smarter sibling of the two. They shared rooms until Middle School, fought a lot while living under one roof and now he’s the one person Arpi shares too much information with and the first person she calls when the TV stops working, when the internet goes down, has car trouble...you get the picture. Fun facts: Arpi and Nazo were once confused as being a couple on their sister/brother bonding trip on a cruise to Europe. Nazo is also a new dog dad to a Rat Terrier who he named, Eyvor (ask him about it).
Seta Jenabian
Maid of Honor
Meet Seta, the bride’s best friend and sister from another mister. If you don’t know the story, they met through a mutual friend at 15 years old and basically were unofficially adopted into each other’s family shortly thereafter. They’ve been told more than once they sound like an old married couple. Seta is a major foodie and will try any cuisine at least once and hopes to one day find a friend with a more sophisticated pallet unlike Arpi’s. Her two favorite places are Nordstrom and Hawaii.
Chanelle Ortiz
Best Young Woman
Meet Chanelle, beautiful daughter of the groom and the apple of daddy’s eye. Chanelle loves to read, make jewelry and bakes some pretty amazing cupcakes, which Arpi and Pierre don’t leave in the kitchen for too long.
Violette Gonzalez
Junior Bridesmaid
Meet the youngest of our bridal party, beautiful Violette, goddaughter of the bride, who happens to be Seta’s daughter and the one person Arpi does not say the word “no” to, often. Violette loves animals and aspires to be a Veterinarian one day. Her current favorite pastime, however, is talking on the phone and playing video games. She’s been eating sushi since she was 3 and loves ramen and seafood.
