Wedding Party
Najifa "Nina" Khursid
Bride
The stunning bride — radiant not just in beauty, but in spirit. Their story began in the world of gaming, where what started as simple fun soon blossomed into a deep and lasting connection. While she may not claim the title of top gamer, what truly stands out is her unwavering determination — always giving her best, growing with each challenge, and embracing every opportunity to learn and adapt. She’s a lover of stories, strategy, and all things heartfelt — from board games to books to every animal she meets. A phenomenal cook, she brings warmth and comfort into every meal, turning ordinary moments into memories. She helped the groom fulfill a lifelong dream — bringing home the dog he always wanted — and she’s an amazing dog mom. Her heart beats to the rhythm of EDM and the joy of music festivals, where her spirit truly shines. And at their wedding, she embodies the grace and strength of Fleur Delacour — elegant, courageous, and fiercely loving.
Brighton Kunce
Groom
The handsome man of the hour — charming, kind-hearted, and always ready with a teasing grin. He shows his love through playful banter, especially with those he holds closest, never missing a chance to make them laugh. With endless patience and quiet strength, he’s the calm in the bride’s chaos, always there to catch the pieces and hold them with care. A truly wonderful dog dad, he gives all their pups so much love — and plenty of treats — always ready for a game of fetch or a cuddle on the couch. He treats the bride like royalty, lifting her up, supporting her dreams, and loving her with unwavering devotion. Whether it’s playfully calling her out mid-game or gently encouraging her to keep going, his love is in every word, every smirk, every inside joke. He’s the kind of person who lights up a room and makes everyone feel like family — effortlessly winning over all of the bride’s loved ones. And on this special day, he stands tall as Captain America — a symbol of devotion, strength, and a heart full of love.
Aspen
Maid of Honor
She’s been the bride’s best friend for five unforgettable years, a constant light through life’s highs and lows. Hailing from sunny California, she’s now happily married to Josh, and together they’re raising the sweetest little boy, Greyson, who already has his mom’s sparkle. She shares a love for video games with both the bride and groom — a passion that’s only deepened their bond over time. In fact, she and the groom are so in sync, it’s said they share a single brain cell. The bride leans on her often, calling regularly, not just for laughs but for comfort, advice, and love. She’s more than a friend — she’s family. She is the bride’s chosen sister, her daily joy, her ride-or-die. For the wedding, she’s embodying the fierce, loyal, and wonderfully unique Nymphadora Tonks — a character that couldn’t be more fitting for someone as vibrant as she is.
Dan
Best Man
He’s been the groom’s best friend for 18 incredible years — a friendship that began over a shared love of video games and quickly grew into something much deeper. What started as game nights turned into a lifelong bond, filled with laughter and a true understanding of one another. For nearly two years, he and the groom shared a home — a time filled with late-night talks, inside jokes, and countless memories that shaped the man standing here today. He’s the one who introduced the groom to Dungeons & Dragons, now one of his favorite hobbies. With two cats and a deep love for books, he brings thoughtfulness and wisdom into every space he enters. His kind heart and steadfast friendship have meant more to the groom than words can truly express. For today’s celebration, he takes on the role of Ant-Man — clever and humble — the perfect reflection of a friend who has always been there, in the big moments and the small ones, every step of the way.
Alex
Bridesmaid
She is the bride’s closest friend in West Virginia — a quiet constant and a beautiful reminder that true friendship often shows up in the most unexpected, yet deeply meaningful ways. Time and again, she came through for the bride in ways that touched her heart more than words can express. Married to Dan, lovingly known as “Panda,” she shares a playful spirit that fits right in with the bride and groom. Whether it’s video games, board games, or late-night chats, the memories they’ve made together are some of the bride’s most cherished. Her sweet pup, Nova, is Lucy’s best furry friend — their bond is just as strong and joyful as their humans’. And just as Nova has Lucy, Alex’s dog, Luna, is the perfect counterpart to Kalipso — the two share a special connection, mirroring the bond between their owners. For the wedding, she’s stepping into the whimsical and wonderfully unique role of Luna Lovegood — a character full of wonder and quiet strength, just like her.
Duncan
Groomsman
He’s been a close and constant friend to the groom for 15 years — a friendship rooted in shared passions, built on trust, and strengthened through countless adventures both real and imagined. Their bond grew through a love of video games and late-night Dungeons & Dragons sessions, where he took on the role of Dungeon Master, guiding the groom through epic campaigns — one of which spanned over two unforgettable years. Beyond the fantasy worlds they explored, he’s a black belt in Taekwondo — once an instructor, now a dedicated math teacher who brings discipline and heart into everything he does. He shares his life with his wife, Maddie, and together they treasure boisterous nights and friendly competition over their favorite board game, Settlers of Catan. For today’s celebration, he takes on the role of the Hulk — a symbol of strength and quiet resilience, and a friend whose presence has been a meaningful part of the groom’s life for so many years.
Claiborne
Bridesmaid
She may be the groom’s sister, but over the past two years, she’s become so much more to the bride — a true friend, a kindred spirit, and someone whose bond now feels like that of a sister. Their shared love of Harry Potter and spontaneous shopping trips quickly turned into heartfelt conversations and a deep connection that neither of them expected, but both now treasure deeply. She finds peace in the pages of a good book, joy in the sound of ocean waves, and magic in everyday moments. Clai is the proud and loving mom of two adorable cats, Pumpkin and Honey T, who bring just as much personality and charm as she does. She’s a gifted makeup artist, a graceful and passionate dance instructor, and someone who brings creativity, warmth, and light into every space she enters. And let’s not forget her amazing baking skills — she has a talent for creating treats that not only look beautiful but taste even better, always sharing a little sweetness with those she loves. For today’s celebration, she steps into the role of Ginny Weasley — passionate and steadfast — a perfect reflection of the incredible woman she is, and the even more incredible sister and friend she’s become.
Brendan
Groomsman
He’s been the groom’s brother for 30 years — a bond that, even as life has shifted and changed, remains full of shared history, quiet understanding, and a love that doesn’t need to be spoken aloud to be deeply felt. Though they don’t play video games together as often these days, their conversations at family gatherings still circle back to them — a reminder of the interests that first connected them and still bring joy and nostalgia to their time together. He’s also become someone the bride treasures dearly — chatting with her often, always offering a thoughtful word, a clever comment, or a smile just when it’s needed. He has a true talent for picking the perfect dog toys (a skill not to be underestimated!) and a deep passion for cooking, bringing warmth and creativity to the kitchen. Whether he’s casting a line on a quiet fishing trip or floating downriver on a summer day, he finds joy in life’s simple, grounding moments. For the wedding, he steps into the role of Doctor Strange — wise, intentional, and just a little mysterious — a perfect match for someone whose presence is both steady and quietly magical in the lives of those who know and love him.
Matt
Bridesman
This has been one of the bride’s most surprising yet treasured friendships — a beautiful bond that’s lasted six meaningful years. It wasn’t a friendship that anyone could have predicted, but it grew from a foundation of trust, shared heartbreak, and unwavering support through life’s twists and turns. Though he is one of the bride’s dearest friends, he’s proudly claimed Brighton as his own — a playful rivalry that only deepens the love they all share. He’s a devoted father to two wonderful sons — one with fur and four legs, and one with the brightest smile and the biggest personality. And of course, no one will ever forget the day Matt spent an entire day at Disney World completely unaware that Brighton was wearing his hat — because Matt thought it was a different color. It’s the kind of mix-up that perfectly captures the charm of their friendship: unexpected, hilarious, and effortlessly memorable. For today’s celebration, he steps into the role of Draco Malfoy — complex, bold, and undeniably unforgettable, just like him.
Chris
Groomsman
A dear friend of the groom for 10 years, their friendship began by chance through a random meeting on Discord for a game of D&D, but quickly blossomed into a bond that has lasted a decade. Despite being from Georgia, he’s become a cherished part of the bride and groom’s world, often joining them for countless hours of video games and laughter. A gifted storyteller, he has an incredible way of turning any moment into an adventure. Whether he's weaving epic tales from their gaming sessions or recounting everyday experiences, his stories captivate and entertain, drawing everyone in with his vivid imagination and expressive delivery. His ability to make even the most ordinary moments feel extraordinary is something the bride and groom truly cherish. At home, he shares his life with a dog who has no problem making sure his voice is heard — a perfect reflection of his own bold, lively spirit. For today’s celebration, he steps into the role of Iron Man — clever, brave, and a true hero in his own right, always there for those who matter most.

Dan "Panda"
Officiant
A steady, thoughtful presence with a warmth that makes everyone feel instantly at ease. A talented cook, he brings people together with food made from the heart, and his way with words turns even simple conversations into something memorable. With the soul of a storyteller and a quiet charm, he has a gift for making others feel seen and understood. Though he’ll always choose a cat’s purr over a dog’s bark, his gentle nature and dry wit win over hearts wherever he goes. He is Alex’s husband — a partner who embodies grace, wisdom, and a deep, unwavering kindness. For the wedding, he steps into the role of Vision — a fitting reflection of the quiet strength and love he brings into every room.

Aspen’s sweet 7-year-old son is a little bundle of joy. He lights up when he’s playing his favorite video games and has the most heart-melting way of telling stories—his eyes sparkle with every word. There’s a quiet, bashful charm about him that just makes you want to wrap him up in a big hug.
