Bride
The Bride! The smart, hard-working and incredible Aleksandra is highly regarded by all of her peers. She made a splash in the Groom's life in the best possible way in Colorado before moving with him to California. She is a diligent programmer and avid dog mom that has adopted the Cali lifestyle of chilling on the beach, surfing, and eating seafood. She loves a good beach day with some champagne on ice, or checking out a nice restaurant with the puppies on the patio. A great cook, friend, and soon to be wife, you would be lucky to cross paths with this wonderful person.

Robert: Accountant by day - Bass-playing Funkaholic by night.
Nina Dooley
Bridesmaid

Nina enjoys watching anime and playing various video games when she isn't studying, and these would be great talking topics. Nina's favorite snack... cheese!

Thomas Sheehan
Groomsman
Austin's oldest friend (they met in 5th grade), Thomas has been around since the beginning. What Thomas lacks in bad traits, he makes up for in good traits. People would say he's a solid friend and reliable person. He's well known in the Bay Area and likes to travel to Burning man once in a while to spin some fire. Fun Fact: Thomas has had a beard for as long as anyone can remember. There is not a date in time where anyone can accurately claim he did not have facial hair.
Camden Santo
Bridesman
Camden is Nicole's partner/boyfriend. He has become a good friend to the bride and groom. The bride and groom workout at CANS (Camden Austin Nicole Sasha)'s gym 3x a week, which is located conveniently in Camden's garage. Together they pump iron both in preparation for this wedding as well as the fun time it is! In his professional life he is a top notch architect. Favorite acronym: ABI (Always Be Increasing) - for those who workout... you know
George Lawson
Groomsman
How else could you describe George but as a wholesome, all around good dude? He's the kind of guy you take home to mom, and will make your dad look bad. George and Austin met in high school playing guitar together, and became good friends soon after. Also, George is from Singapore, that's pretty cool right? George joined the Coast Guard and now lives in Naw'lins with some of the crew. George has dealt with coastal oil spill cleanup, search and rescue operations, and oversees job site safety. So, he's got some good stories.

Mazzy Dooley
Fur Daughter
Austin and Aleksandra's fur child who is very important to them. One of her favorite things to do is walk. Even though she isn't built for that she is first out the door for shopping, walking, gardening, and anything that looks like an adventure.
