Haiya Qare & Jason Simpson
Wedding Party
Chandler
Best Man
My right hand, brother from another. My brotherhood with Chandler dates back to 2009 and is forever.
Nadeen
Maid of Honor
My soul sister and my diary wrapped up in one, we are cousins by chance but best friends by choice. She is one of the smartest people I know and will keep you on your toes with her quick witted responses and sense of humor. She was there the night Jason and I met and now is the one standing by my side the day of our wedding.
Julian
Best Man
I cried when I was told Julian was being born but I could hardly imagine life without my "bigger little brother." My Best Man.
Lina
Maid of Honor
We met in middle school and have been inseparable ever since. We've shared many shopping and sushi dates as well as hours of accumulated voice notes detailing our days. My best friend of 20 years and counting, we've been through many milestones side by side and I couldn't imagine this day without you right next to me.
Jordon
Groomsman
Kindest, biggest heart that I know. Loyal to the bone, my brother Jordon.
Ivana
Bridesmaid
My little cousin and roomate who never fails to surprise me. Ivana will always say whatever comes to mind without a second thought but that's what I love about her. She teaches me about authenticity and fearlessness. She's currently working on her Masters Degree in Psychology so watch out for her psychoanalyzing at the reception.
Andre
Groomsman
Andre was the person who's every movement I emulated. Ran track, the fashion, everything was cause of him and "Lil Twit" was my nickname cause I was his younger brother that did everything he did.
Meghan
Bridesmaid
Meghan and I met in the 6th grade and have remained close ever since. Meghan is the type of friend they write books about, the sweet gentle kind that you always want in your corner. She has the sweetest heart and warmest smile and is also getting married in August 2024! It's almost unreal we manifested being brides together as kids and it came true for us 20 years later.
Elias
Groomsman
Elias is my future brother in law but has grown into one of my friends. Quiet when you first meet him but hilarious once you get to know him. If you are looking for a good political conversation or debate, this is your guy.
Alyssa
Bridesmaid
I met Alyssa in Elementary School when I was new to Oddstad and she was one of the first people to approach me. Soft spoken but hilarious once you get to know her, Alyssa is one of a kind and the longest friendship of mine. If you want to know what I was like growing up, this is the girl to ask.
Hiytham
Groomsman
One thing I have grown to love about Hiytham is how much he loves his sister. As new member to the family, he has embraced me with the same warmth. Lucky to have gained another brother.
Amany
Bridesmaid
The first time I met Amany she asked me to straighten her hair and I've been her permanent hairstylist ever since. Hilarious and the life of the party, Amany will make sure everyone around is having the time of their life.
Hubert
Groomsman
Moving to California and not knowing anyone, Hubert "my cousin," was a weekend well spent. Learned how to "Jerk" from Sherb.
Sammah
Bridesmaid
My little cousin and goddaughter, Sammah has always been like my little sister. Her personality has always been larger than life and she will never shy away from telling you exactly how she feels. She's never been a bridesmaid before so I'm beyond honored to have her as one of mine.
Lloyd
Groomsman
Lloyd and I have grown much closer as we have gotten older and I appreciate his perspective and loyalty.
Alicia
Bridesmaid
My future sister in law and I feel so lucky to call her that because Alicia has been nothing but warm and loving towards me since the moment we've meant. Though we live on different continents, our bond has grown so much and I am excited for it to continue. One of the wittiest people I know with an infectious smile, if you want some fun banter she's your girl.
Osa
Groomsman
Little do people know, I met Os in high school when we played football against one another. From there a rival turned into a roommate and great friend. And if you know the story, Osa was there the night I met Haiya.
