Kazhal & Vincent
Wedding Party
Gelareh Berahnegard
Maid of Honor
AKA Queen B, AKA G - If you don't know who she is, then you're in trouble. Known for her rendition of Mariah Carey’s ‘MY ALL’ , Gelareh is Kazhal's best friend and baby sister. The most fashionable out of the two...or so she likes to think. Gelareh has been by Kazhal's side through it all - the multiple international stalking sessions of the Backstreet Boys, memorable holidays, the laughs, the tears, and now will be by her side on the happiest day of her life. Likes to have imaginary arguments with Mary-Jane...a lot.
George Chai
Best Man
George Chai has known Vince his entire life... well technically even before birth..since the twinkle in his eyes. Not only he has raised the groom to be the person he is today, but is his best friend, confidante and hero.
Shima Eghanian
Bridesmaid
Shima and Kazhal met 2 weeks after Kazhal moved to Toronto and have been inseparable since. Shima has been her rock, her love, her plus one and her partner in crime from day one. Shima was there when it all began with the bride and groom to be..and asked Vince to take care of her on the fateful night they reconnected...and boy did he run with that request! Shima always looks out for Kazhal like a sister and pushes her out of her comfort zone.
Simon Wong
Groomsman
Self-nominated Best Man (as he wants credit for introducing the bride to the groom)...given time prob will even try to convince people he brought Vince's parents together. One of the horsemen that has been traveling the world with the groom and introduced Vince to the NYC living.
Anna Budge
Bridesmaid
AKA Banana. Kazhal and Anna met 11 years ago when they'd both recently moved to London. Kazhal moved into the same house share as Anna, and Anna seemed to be the most sane one out of them all....which said a lot about the house. They are both co-creators of the drink 'Wynodka? TM' ...and still don't understand how it didn't gain global recognition!
Joe Astemborski
Groomsman
(AKA Rock, AKA brother nightmare) College roommate/fraternity brother/tormentor of all unsuspecting pledges. Joe made Vince Godfather to one of his sons....he must have been drunk...his wife probably still gives him &*%$ about it ......just kidding Ilene!!!
Jeyda Yilmaz
Bridesmaid
Kazhal and Jeyda met back in 2012 when they worked in recruitment together and instantly hit it off. Since then Jeyda has been working on getting Kaz to grasp the concept of the indoor voice, but has failed consistently.
Walter Ho
Groomsman
Another member of the horsemen, Walter has been balling and traveling with Vince for the past 20 years. Prior to meeting their significant others, Walter and Vince were known best to people as the old arguing married couple. Vince knew Kazhal always wanted The Backstreet Boys to be a part of the wedding...the best he could was the Asian knock off of Brian Litrell.
Jamie Whelan
Bridesmate
Jamie and Kazhal clicked instantly when they started working together around 5 years ago. He is her calming voice of reason, of logic and someone who has been by her side supporting her through good or bad decisions...mainly bad. Always there for her with a drink in hand and ready for an adventure.
Peter Eng
Groomsman
Last and most stylish of the horsemen, Peter was lucky enough to have bunked up with Vince on all their trips...mainly because Peter is only the one that can deal with Vince's snoring. Vince and Peter have had some amazing nights out.....or so they have been told.... #blackoutmuch?
Allen & Michael Chueh
Groomsman
Identical twins - if you want to know what the other one looks like - squint harder. OG Jersey boys. Vince has been partying with the boys from Delaware Ave (Philly) to ATL to Boracay. It was music to Vince's ears when Mike decided to move away from Allen, because then he had twice the amount of places to visit.
