Wedding Party
Kian Kameli
Bride
Timothy Martoccio
Groom
Bianca Kameli
Co-Maid of Honor
Bianca is my sassy little sister and of course my Co-Maid of Honor! No matter the occasion, Bianca is the first person to jump on a plane to be there for the good times and to support her loved ones during life's challenging times. Her ability to stay connected with friends and family is inspiring- I am lucky to have her as a sister.
Dwayne Carter
Co-Man of Honor
I have known Dwayne for 25+ years; we have shared trials and tribulations, literary, personal, and professional. As an early mentor in my life, he helped me see the errors of my ways; this paved the path to an important lifelong friendship. Dwayne has always been a couple of steps ahead, beta-testing what I have yet to experience in life.
Ariana Kameli
Co-Maid of Honor
My oldest sister and as Imaan (my little brother) would say, my unofficial womb mate. We aren't twins but I would say our bond is just as strong! Whenever we are together, I know that we will have some of the best laughs- we feed off of each other's comedy.
Laurenz Sanagustin
Co-Man of Honor
As my oldest friend, Laurenz may know me the best, no matter the curve balls life throws in our direction; we always find a way to prioritize our great friendship. Whenever I need a sounding board or a fresh perspective, he is there to support me.
Eliza Samuelson
Bridesmaid
I met Liza in our 6th grade homeroom class- we became friends when she shared her potato chips with me. Some of my fondest memories with Liza were from the YMCA, High School Football games, cruising around in Calypso (my PT Cruiser) and eating bags of chips and ramen noodles while watching reality TV.
Imaan Kameli
Groomsman
I have known Imaan since before he could "legally" drink, and now he is approaching his mid-20s! In the relatively short period I have known Imaan, I have been impressed by how he has grown and matured into a very respectful and kind-hearted individual; he has accepted me as his future brother-in-law, and I appreciate his support and friendship over the last 6+ years.
Olga May
Bridesmaid
I met Olga in my college days at UIC. We both joined Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority and were part of the same pledge class so we immediately bonded. I have always appreciated her honest and oftentimes blunt feedback. I was her Maid of Honor for her wedding and I am so happy to have her as one of my Bridesmaids.
Neal Patel
Master of Ceremonies
Very few times in life do you encounter a friend whom you can thoroughly pick up where you left off six months later, and you both do not miss a beat in a conversation or thought. Neal is a friend whom I can rely on to keep the topic of life, lite and fun with a side of whimsical meme-inspired unrestraint.
Nader Kouklan
Bridesman
I met Nader when he was working at my Uncle's Law office- we went out for drinks and have been great friends since then! He was the only friend that I had in Arizona before we moved and we eventually bought a house 3 blocks away from his apartment. Fun Fact: Nader actually introduced me to Tim (more than once) when we all worked together!
Blake Meisenheimer
Groomsman
In our early 20s, Cory introduced me to Blake; since then, we have been great friends. Blake has always been that guy who always saw things threw a unique lens and has been able to predict the craziest of outcomes; he is definitely the modern Nostradamus of the group. I very much value our ability to not let distance get in the way of our friendship!
Yesenia Fernandez
Bridesmaid
I met Yesenia at work- you could always find us at our corporate office bar on Friday afternoons mixing up a cocktail. I'd say that we are oftentimes on the same wavelength. We are both 2023 Brides with our weddings one month apart!
Cory Chrisinger
Groomsman
You could not ask for a better friend than Cory, and the fact that he is a Greenbay Packer fan may give some credence to the fact that I am willing to overlook his one flaw. However, I do cherish our many years of friendship and his counsel. Cory has a great heart and a wonderful perspective on life. He is always there to comfort me when my Bears lose!
Diana Kameli
Mother of the Bride
We are so happy to have my mom with us on our wedding day! My mom has made tremendous sacrifices throughout her life for her kids. She recently moved to AZ to be closer to us and support us on our new journey and we are extremely thankful. From our house renovation to picking out my wedding dress, I never regret my mom's advice and guidance.
Nader Kameli
Father of the Bride
My dad has taught me so much throughout my life. He has given me his driven and determined work ethic, his unwavering love for family and his curiosity and desire to learn. My dad also taught me the importance of doing things for myself and that I have the strength within myself to be my own Superhero.
Taher Kameli
Officiant
My Amoo (uncle) Taher will be our Officiant for our American ceremony. My uncle is best described as a force of nature. He has the power to light up every room he enters and I can't wait for him to light up the aisle with us! We became incredibly close during my college years and remain close to this day.
Nasser Kameli
Officiant
My Amoo (uncle) Nasser will be our Officiant for our Persian ceremony. Amoo Nasser is the comedian of the family. Growing up I knew that I would get in some great laughs whenever he was around. If you have time during our wedding, I highly recommend taking a tequila shot with him!
Liam Ornelas
Ring Security (Bride's nephew)
Liam was the first baby of my generation and he came at the perfect time in my life. I needed him just as much as he needed me! I spent much of my Senior year of college cuddling and taking care of this little man. My love for him runs deep!
Damen Ornelas
Ring Security (Bride's nephew)
Damen was the second baby and a great addition to the family! He is the funniest, sweetest free spirited little man that I've ever met. Watching him grow up has been inspiring- I am constantly impressed by his heart and character.
Franceska Bacerott
Flower Girl (Groom's goddaughter)
This little girl has overcome more at her age than most of us can achieve well into our mid-20s; she clearly gets her strength from her mom and her loving grandparents! We are extremely proud of Franceska and we look forward to having her ROCK the Flower Girl responsibilities this fall!
