Wedding Party
Kathryn Paterson
Maid of Honor
Older sister and maid of honor. Basketball and soccer teammate. The only one who could tease me and somehow get away with it. A natural leader who paved the way for the rest of the siblings. Amazing role model and idol who I've always looked up to and emulated.
Maliena Guy
Maid of Honor
Younger sister and maid of honor. Childhood minion and partner in imaginative games while growing up, including setting traps to catch Santa in the fireplace. Yali's buddy during college at UC Berkeley every Wednesday between classes. The instigator for all fun things especially games, the force that brings all friend groups together.
Aurelia Guy
Maid of Honor
Littlest sister and maid of honor, the baby who grew up and impressed every single one of us. The valedictorian of her class, always giving 110% to everything that she does. The kindest, sweetest sister who always listens and makes you feel heard. She may seem soft-spoken, but she is the most steadfast, determined person I have ever met.
Foya Tavangary
Bridesmaid
Sister of the groom and Hermosa bestie of the bride. Lives just a few blocks away and is the best neighbor, friend, and plant whisperer in the world. The sweetest sister-in-law a girl could ever ask for, always considerate and kind with the ability to brighten up the room and put smiles on everyone's faces around her.
Ashley Scott
Bridesmaid
Best friends since college at UC Berkeley, roomies freshman through senior year. The one who introduced me to boba, Thai food, and Australian Vegemite. Genuine, pure, and golden-hearted, my friend who would dance with me in our dorm room blasting our favorite throwbacks from the 90's without caring how embarrassing we looked.
Nicole Kay
Bridesmaid
Best friends since college at UC Berkeley, 4th-year classmates and premed study buddies. We would go to the library every weekend studying all day long, and then would go out for socializing with friends after! So down-to-earth and real, someone who always asks questions about you and genuinely cares. The core of all of her friend groups, the one who brings everyone together.
Aliya Esmail
Bridesmaid
Best friends since college at UC Berkeley. We met during our writing class freshman year and quickly became best friends and roommates the following year. Someone who is so genuine and open that you feel like you've been friends forever after just meeting. Gregarious and charismatic, drawing you in with her deep and thought-provoking conversations.
Sunnie Uranga
Bridesmaid
Best friends since college at UC Berkeley. In the same theme program freshman year called: "Women in Science and Engineering." The one who always impressed us with doing it all - from chemical engineering to sorority to somehow finding time to look glamorous after only a few hours of sleep with the most respectable work ethic.
Erfaun Parsiani
Groomsman
Best friend of the groom since the womb. Born 4 days apart and thick as thieves since day 1 (day 4 for Erfaun). Grew up together in Beaverton finding any excuse for a sleepover to play N64 into the night and raid his family's legendary snack pantry. Fellow churner and dealma$ter.
Bayan Parsiani
Groomsman
Born 2 years after his older brother, Erfaun, and rounded out the triumvirate of besties with the groom. Growing up, when they weren't busy getting kicked out of swimming pools for playing dodgeball with strangers you could find them safely cruising the streets of Beaverton going the speed limit in their RSX and RX-8.
Nicolai Safai
Groomsman
College roommate, fellow bio-psych major, and best friend of the groom. Taught the groom how to shred on all kinds of boards and instilled in him his love of untz untz music. When they weren't installing 1000W subwoofers to pair with a 140" projector in their 800 sq ft apartment in Isla Vista you could catch them adding avocado to every food item possible.
Aubtin Saedi
Groomsman
College roommate, fellow ER doctor, and best friend of the groom. A walking Farsi thesaurus and medical encyclopedia. When they aren't lifting steaks and eating weights together you can catch them wow'ing crowds with their table tennis prowess, shredding a local parking structure, and sharing foreign body stories from the ER.
Nicolas Kahl
Groomsman
Fellow UCSB Gaucho, ER doctor, and best friend of the groom. Spent 6 of the best weeks traveling together in Australia, Bali, and Thailand before starting residency. Had a simply sensational time getting lost diving The Great Barrier Reef, defeating local beach volley legends, and avoiding getting mauled by Balinese monkeys.
Dhruv Jagasia
Groomsman
Fellow beach volleyballer and best friend of the groom. Always down to order at a restaurant like it's a checklist rather than a menu. When they aren't staying up way past their bedtimes playing Halo because "you have to finish on a win" you can catch them practicing their Indian accents together, much to Dhruv's irritated amusement.
K-Min Lim
Groomsman
Fellow beach volleyballer and best friend of the groom. Serendipitously met on the sands of Hermosa Beach as he was drawn in by the groom's' vertical and ethnic ambiguity. Since then their friendship has grown leaps and bounds, fueled by pun-ishingly bad jokes and a healthy dose of medical banter.
William Guy
Groomsman
Brother of the bride and soon to be brother-in-law of the groom. Baseball star, pool basketball ace, and Spikeball pro. The only thing more impressive than his raw athletic ability is his ability to keep up with his 4 Guy sister siblings. When he's not wow'ing thousands on TikTok with his musical ability you can find him playing some sort of sportsball.
Matthew Pimblett
Groomsman
Fellow beach volleyballer and best friend of the groom. Fortuitously met on a snowboard trip and have been on countless trips ever since, even once spending 3 days stuck in Bishop, CA together en route to snowmageddon 2023 and have since been known as the “Bishop Boys”. When they’re not shredding fresh pow you can xcatch them on the sand or terraforming mars.
