Jessica & Ladimer
Wedding Party
Jenna Galvez
Matron of Honor
Jenna and I have known each other since 1st grade! She is like a sister to me, and I truly don't know what I would do without her. We have been through it all together, and I am just so fortunate to have her in my life. I was lucky enough to be the maid of honor in her wedding, and I know she's excited to return the favor. She's a bright light in my life.
Anna Lewandowski
Bridesmaid
Anna and I have known each other since elementary school! Although she already has 3 sisters, I consider myself her 4th sister ;) We grew up to both became nurses-she took the ICU route and I went completely opposite of her to the ER. I'm so lucky to have her to walk through this personal and professional stage of life with. The stories we have could write a book! Anna loves so fiercely and I am so fortunate to be apart of her pack.
Alexa Guest
Bridesmaid
Alexa and I met in high school and continued our friendship into college where we roomed together at Michigan State University. Oh, the stories we could share! She has been a constant in my life, even through having 3 kids. She is the best motivator, my go-to person for advice, and has the best outlook on life when you need a pick-me-up. You can always count on her, regardless of how busy her life is. She always shows up.
Rachel Buckman
Bridesmaid
Rachel and I go all the way back to elementary school. She is the most loyal person; a true ride or die. Rachel will do absolutely anything for her friends, even when she's a mom to soon- to-be 3 kids! She is honest to a fault and will tell you what you need to hear, even when you don't want to hear it ;) Everyone needs a friend like Rachel, she will never steer you wrong and has the biggest heart.
Celeste Rudd
Bridesmaid
The word I would use to describe is comfortable. She is the soft landing after a difficult day. She is the best person to talk to when you need to vent. She knows just what to say or do to brighten your mood. Although life can get busy, our friendship has never wavered and she has been a constant in my life.
Rumsin Givargiznia
Best Man
My first cousin, Rumsin, has stood by me through both the best and most challenging times. He’s been there for so many of life’s moments, from navigating high school to getting into clubs while “allegedly” underage. I made some of my best memories as a kid spending summers with him and his family in CA, until he moved back to our hometown in CT. There, we hosted some legendary parties, and he joined my soccer club, REDRUM, serving as our team captain and leading defender for 8x championship seasons. A couple of years after moving to LA, Rumsin offered me a place to stay, a gesture that opened the door for me to start my next chapter in CA, where I would eventually meet my future wife. Last year, Rumsin relocated to Arizona to join his fiancée, Nahrain, and he’s now just weeks away from his own wedding. Fun fact- don’t act up, because he will have a talk with you.
Ben McDaniel
Groomsman
Separated by only 1 month and 18 days, though technically cousins, we’ve been more like brothers from the very start. Growing up with two sisters each, we naturally leaned on each other as our built-in teammate for just about everything. Ben has been there for so many major milestones in my life, and we’ve shared countless hobbies (plus a fair share of friendly competition along the way). Fun fact, during hockey tryouts, Ben once snuck me a jersey for his team since I didn’t qualify on my own, just so we could play together. He and his wife, Jesse, recently welcomed their twins, George and Oscar, joining their firstborn, Margot. I’m so proud of the life he’s built and grateful to have him standing by my side.
Brandon Style
Groomsman
Brandon is the bridge from my old life to my current one, and I owe him more than any one person should ever have to owe another. What started as a colleague, then hockey teammate (4x beer league champs), turned into a roommate, and eventually a best friend. He welcomed me into his circle, introducing me to a group of friends, some of whom are now groomsmen, and many others I hold at the same level. Over the past few years, Brandon has traded his residency at Santa Monica’s Bungalow for his new life with his fiancée, Leslie, though his other great love remains- Gators football, his alma mater. Fun fact...not many people know about his impressive green thumb.
Tahir Noohani
Groomsman
A friendship that began only within the past decade has grown exponentially ever since. Originally built on tequila, the foundation has since shifted to chai, world travel, and endless camaraderie. I’ve been blessed to watch Tahir evolve from the life-of-the-party type into someone living a more halal lifestyle, focusing on the things that truly matter, like quality time with his recent wife, Tracey, and a devotion to his religion… except on the golf course, where the Lord’s name is taken in vain after every slice (often). Fun fact, Tahir once purchased a boat to bring his friends together… without actually knowing how to operate it. That’s Tahir in a nutshell: heart first, logic later.
Jon Reich
Groomsman
They say if you repeat “reposado” three times, Jon will appear. Powered by Joe’s Pizza, C4 Energy, and Latin women, you never want to miss an outing with him. An entrepreneur in the nightlife industry, I’ve seen the likes of Marshmello, Tiësto, and The Chainsmokers ask for his spot at the clubs. Though a Miami native, Jon never hesitates to join me on a travel adventure. We’ve explored well over a dozen international destinations together, adding to his personal list of 50+ countries traveled. Anyone fortunate enough to be in Jon’s circle knows there’s absolutely nothing he wouldn’t do for you. Just be warned: if you hand him the aux, Maluma is up next. Fun fact, he’s surprisingly well-balanced on electric scooters, our preferred method of travel while overseas.
