Masha & David
Wedding Party
Eliza Meshem
Maid of Honor
Masha and Eliza met during their high school years almost 15 years ago! Since then, they have traveled the world together, have had countless sushi dates and sleepovers, and even lived together. In fact, they were living together when Masha and David started dating, so Eliza was there to dress Masha for their dates and help her answer David's texts. In the beginning of Masha and David's relationship, the three of them spent so much time together that David knew Masha and Eliza came as a package deal.
Marina Pulik
Bridesmaid
Masha and Marina met when Masha was in 6th grade and Marina was in 7th. Marina is the epitome of a best friend and is definitely the most overprotective friend Masha has. However, when Marina met David, she knew he was the one for Masha from the very beginning. She has been there to give Masha advice and lots of tough love in every aspect of her life and has shown her unconditional love and support. Masha and Marina share a mutual love for food, travel, and dancing. And of course, it helps that she loves David also!
Lyuba Viner
Bridesmaid
Masha and Lyuba met about 5 years ago when Lyuba started dating (and now married) Masha's friend, Mike. Masha and Lyuba clicked instantly. In the short 5 years that they have been friends, they have taken numerous girls trips across the country, successfully co-planned parties and events together, became co-workers, and best friends. Lyuba and David became friends instantly as well and the two couples spend many nights and weekends together.
Stephanie Cutler
Bridesmaid
Stephanie is David's older and wiser sister and she instantly welcomed Masha into their family. Masha and Stephanie share a mutual love for Spanish food and music. Masha has always wanted a big sister and can’t wait to finally have one! Although David and Stephanie got into plenty of wrestling matches when they were kids, they are very close now!
Jordan Margolis
Best Man
Jordan and David have been best friends since 4th grade. They have traveled together, gone to countless concerts, celebrated every milestone in their lives together, and became part of each other's families. Recently, David and Jordan realized that they couldn’t live more than two minutes away from each other so they are now neighbors! Masha and David love coming home to surprises from Jordan and his family in their mailbox and Jordan's daily midnight phone calls and visits.
Vlad Gotkis
Groomsman
David and Vlad met when they were freshmen in high school through Jordan. Their interest in cars is what really kicked off their friendship. David taught Vlad how to drive stick shift on his red Porsche and their friendship grew from there. Vlad and Masha have actually known each other for a while as well, so it makes double dates easy and fun!
Jerad Edelman
Groomsman
David and Jerad met in Hebrew school before their Bar Mitzvahs and have only gotten closer over the last 20+ years. They have celebrated many of life’s special occasions together and have always been there for each other. They are especially there for each other when one of them wants a cookie, the other will always split one because apparently it doesn’t count if you only have half. Jerad can’t wait to stand next to David on his and Masha’s big day.
Ricky Cutler
Groomsman
Ricky is David's brother-in-law and David couldn't think of a better man to marry his sister. David and Ricky share a mutual love for golf, delicious food, and most importantly, their family. Even though Ricky and Stephanie love their beautiful condo right in downtown Chicago, Masha and David are doing everything in their power to get them to move to the suburbs so they can be even closer. And of course, David wouldn't mind the commission!
Norah Cutler
Flower Girl
Norah is David’s niece and by far the cutest member of the bridal party! She is so excited to be a flower girl just a few days before her 5th birthday!
