Wedding Party
Yalda
Bridesmaid
Best friend, hype-woman, and the ultimate Maid of Honor. Yalda is Nelly's oldest friend and has been a constant through every single milestone in life. From the biggest celebrations to the quietest moments, she has always been there. Having her stand by Nelly’s side as she says 'I do' is the greatest full-circle moment of their lifelong friendship.
Negar
Bridesmaid
If you’re looking for the heartbeat of the party, you found her. Negar has unlimited energy, is always down for a good time, and has always been a wonderful and supportive friend to Nelly. She’s the person who will be the last one on the dance floor and the first one to make sure you have a drink in your hand. We’re so lucky to have her "stay up all night" spirit with us in paradise!
Emily
Bridesmaid
A true "day one" in every sense! Emily and Nelly have been best friends since middle school, and even though they live in different countries now, they haven't missed a beat. No matter the distance or the time zones, it always feels like no time has passed when they’re together. We are so happy she’s making the trip to stand by our side!
Zaira
Bridesmaid
Every law student needs a partner in crime, and Zaira was Nelly’s from day one. Between the library sessions and exploring the city together, she became the friend Nelly couldn't imagine life without. Looking back, having her by my side made our time in Brighton so much brighter. We’re so glad she’ll be joining us to kick off our next chapter in paradise!
Shahin
Groomsman
Shahin is more than just my younger brother; he’s been my co-pilot in everything since day one. With only two years between us, we’ve grown up side-by-side, sharing a lifelong obsession with cars and a bond that’s as high-performance as they come. From late nights under the hood to navigating the twists and turns of life, he’s been my constant anchor and my closest friend. I couldn’t imagine hitting this milestone without him by my side - he’s the one person who has always been in my corner, and I’m honored to have him with me as I start this new journey.
Arash
Groomsman
Arash is truly the heart and soul of our family. He’s the kindest person I’ve ever known - a beautiful soul who finds genuine joy in helping others with zero expectations. I’ve learned so much about how to lead with love just by watching him. However, don’t let the "saint" act fool you; whenever we travel, Arash is the officially designated responsible person for Ehsan. While we’re all off causing chaos, Arash is the one making sure everyone actually makes it to the destination in one piece! Having him by my side as I start this new chapter means the world to me.
Ali
Groomsman
Ali and the Shahab have been friends so long they’re basically a common-law couple. As the original 'First Wife,' Ali has spent years managing Shahab's wild ideas and questionable life choices. He’s finally ready to let Nelly take the lead, though he’ll be standing at the front making sure she follows the user manual he wrote.
Ehsan
Groomsman
The man, the myth, and the primary reason we check the "international incidents" section of the news. Ehsan has been Shahab's partner in crime since forever, which means he’s survived a lifetime of the Groom's worst ideas. He’s a legend for turning every simple trip into a 48-hour adventure that usually requires a lawyer or a miracle. We’re mostly just bringing him along to ensure that if the week turns into a wild story, at least he’ll be there to help the Groom tell it!
Ella
Flower Girl
Sharing a birthday with the bride means she’s already a pro at stealing Auntie Nelly's thunder. At 15 months old, she’s making her big debut to show everyone how it’s done. Expect maximum cuteness, a little bit of chaos, and for your heart to completely melt.
Coco
Chief Security Officer (In Absentia)
I was told there would be an open beach buffet, a lot of attention, and endless sand to dig up. Imagine my disappointment when I found out my passport application was denied because I’m a dog. While my humans are busy getting married in Mexico, I’ll be holding down the fort back home, managing security, and vigorously testing the couch for comfort. I fully expect a smuggled taco or two brought back in a suitcase as compensation. Cheers to Mom and Dad!
