Monica & Massi
Wedding Party
Cassandra Yekani
Maid of Honor
My beautiful Sister, Someone who I have always looked up too, Someone who has always had my back and even when I was in trouble she would never tell my parents! :) We were always so close growing up as kids, I always wanted to copy everything she had and be just like her. Yes, I was that annoying little sister :) Whenever I had a nightmare at night, I would always run into her room and sleep next to her and I felt so safe. During our teenage years we had the same circle of friends and we spent every day together. Its crazy to think we are almost 30, and starting our own lives. I cant wait to see our kids grow up together as cousins, and what the future holds for us. You will always be the closest person to me and I'm so excited to share my special day with you as my Maid of Honor.
Sana Rassed
Best Man
My "little" brother but "wiser" brother, he has always been one step ahead of me! As long as I can remember, his talent for fine art expressed itself at a young age and shaped his rich and deep personality throughout the years. Over and over again he amazed us with his great talent of sculpting, painting and drawing. I look up to him in so many ways and can never forget the endless hours we spent laughing every single day! Now a young dad of two incredibly sweet daughters Mila (3) & Ella (1), he is building a successful career in the field of Bionic Research in Germany. So excited for you to be my best man!
Sophia Sayari

I have known Sophia since I was born! We grew up as childhood friends which turned into a sisterhood bond like no other. She is not only my best friend, she is family! My dad looks after her as his own daughter. She has been apart of every chapter of my life and I have been apart of hers from being kids, to teenagers, and to now almost 30! She has a heart of gold, and such a kind soul. The memories we have created together are endless! A friendship like ours will last a lifetime and I cant wait to watch our own kids grow up together just like how we did! I cant wait to celebrate my special day with you, it wouldn't be the same without you there! love you!
Ajmal Ataie

The popular, confident kid in school with the best jokes ? Familiar ? Yes that's him! Developing his charming personality at a young age, he would later take it so far as to ask my sister out on "secret" dates in their early 20s...Until I found out! ;-) Im glad she fell for his charm because today Im so grateful I can call him my brother in law. He is the definition of the man you want for your sister, seriously! Anyone with a sister understands this :) His passion for his family is unprecedented and we have grown to become close like real brothers over the years. A loving father to Kian (5) and Aria (2) he is also leading a successful career as a government official in Germany.

Andrej Plancic
Man of Honor
Living in Spain is probably one of the best experiences you can share with one of your best friends. From sharing apartments to classrooms to endless hours of beach volleyball, we bonded to create an amazing friendship that lasts until this day, regardless of distance. We also studied for our exams, at least I did. Up to this day, his Spanish skills are rather average but he quickly makes up for it with his charm and personality! Now a modern definition of cosmopolitan, he has enjoyed more beaches, experienced more cultures and dived in more oceans than I will ever be able to, all while building an executive career at one of the worlds tech giants Google.
Shanna Shindler
Bridesmaid
Shanna and I have known each other since we were kids! We grew up as childhood friends and now she is one of my best friends. Our parents have been best friends now for over 20 years! Shanna is always the one friend you can count on for going the extra mile in the relationship, and truly caring for her loved ones. She is a free spirit, with a beautiful loving soul. Over the years, we have created a strong bond between one another and I've seen beautiful qualities in her. I am blessed to have a genuine friend like her in my life, and excited for the many more memories we will create together. One of the memories being my wedding day with you by my side! love you!
Shaun Alan-Lee
Man of Honor
2014 World Cup in Brazil, Argentina loses to Germany in the last minutes of a breathtaking football final. Followed by bitter weeks and months of regrets and sadness, (in Argentina Football is religion), little did Shaun know that he would go on to become best friends with someone from exactly this part of the world, Germany! Both huge football fans, cheering for our respective teams we quickly learned that aside from our nation's animosities in football, as friends we had actually a ton in common! Over the past 4 years we went on to build a bond, beyond friendship with the deepest appreciation for each other. Aside from his passion for Messi&Co. Shaun is a successful Luxury Real Estate Broker. A friend I look up to in so many ways, blessed to have you on this special day Hermanito!

I have gotten the pleasure to get to know Sadaf, Massi's older sister. We met for the first time when me and Massi planned a trip to Germany to meet his whole family. She lives in the beautiful countryside of Germany with her husband and 2 beautiful kids. The first time I met Sadaf, It was like we had known each other for a long time, our connection was instant and it felt so natural! The way she welcomed me into her home with such open arms showed how amazing and warm of a person she is. I understood why Massi and Sadaf are so close, and why he has so much respect for his older sister. I truly feel blessed to call her my future sister in law! I have been able to build a great relationship with her, and looking forward to her being apart of me and Massi's special day!
