Sara & Aaron
Wedding Party
Chris Johns
Best Man
The relationship between Chris and Aaron go back a few years. Two young men working to help one another improve our lives while strengthening our faith in God. Whether going to the beach, concerts or just talking they are always there for each other. Together they have had significant changes in their lives and are two very happy men.
Parisa Mazaheri
Maid of Honor
Parisa is Sara's younger sister. As the years have passed they have become closer and closer . Her wisdom, caring heart, and leadership abilities are a blessing to have alongside. A friendship that has gotten better and closer over the years.
Jenalyn Joy Rozakis
Bridesmaid
Jenalyn Joy , one of the sweetest and kindest people one can meet, true meaning of her name. She is a true joy to be around. Her advice and suggestions are real, caring and loving. I am blessed to know her and have her as my friend in my life.
Ashley Mondres
Bridesmaid
Ashley has been a wonderful friend to me for the past 5 years. We have uplifted each other , made each others' burden lighter, and made each other laugh in hard times. (She can make you laugh no matter how upset you are about something! ) A real, genuine lady with a loving and serving heart. How did she came to my life and became my friend? I do not know but am very happy it happened. :)
Melanie Hoffman
Bridesmaid
Melanie has been a wonderful friend to me for the past 8 years, from the time I came to this land. That was a big transition for me, and she made it a pleasant, wonderful one. An amazing and talented artist ( You should just see some of the things she has designed ! ) , strong leader, with a tender loving heart, after the wonders and whimsies of what God has made. Over the years, we have held each other up and supported each other in different ways. Very blessed to know her and have her in my life.
Riley Jones
Bridesmaid
Riley is Aaron's young niece. She is a vibrant, joyful young woman and pleasant to be around. She is full of life and fun to be around. She has made the transition of Sara becoming part of Aaron's family more pleasant one.
George O'Connor
Groomsman
George is the man who literally saved my life. Besides Fred Derrick, George has been a father to me. He is the only one who truly knows everything about me and has used that information to create a person that I am proud to be. I believe he turned a misguided boy into a man that can be trusted and reliable. If it wasn't for George I would never have been getting married to such a wonderful woman. George is one of the greatest men I know and I love him dearly.
John Derrick
Groomsman
My cousin John is an Intelligent, God loving man who has a heart of Gold. He is great friend and the relationship between us has grown into a very special on to me. You can't choose your family. John didn't have a choice becoming my cousin but I couldn't be happier that the decision was made. I am proud that he is in my life and can't wait until I we are old, sitting on rocking chairs at the River, while I still try to understand what he is saying. I did mention he is very intelligent right?
Adam Lowe
Groomsman
What is there to say about Adam. If you ever had a friend you could go years without seeing, meet up and feel like no time has past, then you know what my friendship with Adam is like. A talented photographer, intelligent man, great friend and now a wonderful husband and father. No, he isn't my husband or my father. But having been such good friends for so many years I know for certain my words are fact. I am so proud of Adam for being such a great man after facing some of the hardest moments a man could go through. I love you brother.
Catherine Evans
Mother of the Groom
Catherine Evans is the definition of what a great mother is. As a single mother she provided for her four children, made sure her children had what they needed, were part of sports, education and any involved in anything that interested them. She is a selfless, caring, loving and dedicated mother and the best woman I know. I see Sara having these qualities and I can only guess that is why I love her so much. So mom, I love you very much and I look forward to you being part of all Sara and my firsts.
Fred Derrick
Father of the Groom
Talk about a man who is full of grace and love and willingness to take on some big challenges. Becoming a father to four teens. Need I say more?! Well I will. Fred has gone out of his way to be a great role model not only to my siblings and myself but now two nieces and a nephew. His life changed in every way after marrying my mother and he has embraced it and changed the lives of seven people. When it comes to striving to be like someone else I will try to be like him.
Sina Mazaheri
Groomsman
Sara's brother had made me feel part of the family. Sina is a very intelligent man following in his families foot steps. On his way to becoming a great family doctor or specializing in internal medicine. Okay, so that isn't what he feels yet and still thinks he is deciding on what direction to go but besides a dentist that is the last kind of doctor I need in the Mazaheri family and I can get rid of insurance all together. On another note Sina has a big heart, humble personality, fun sense of humor and is a great friend. I am proud and honored to be gaining such a wonderful brother.
Rhett Jones
Ring Bearer
Aaron's nephew Rhett is an energetic and smart young man. Trusted to deliver the symbol that represents our everlasting commitment to each other. There is nobody else we want to deliver these important symbols. In all honesty, since he takes after me it might be a good thing these are not the real rings. We don't need all the guests on their hands and knees looking for two rings.
Reese Jones & Madison Bull
Flower Girl
Aaron's two youngest nieces with big hearts, bright smiles and contagious joy will be laying flower pedals down as my bride is walked down the isle. This tradition is being represented by two very beautiful young girls that we love so very much.
Parvin Mazaheri
Mother of the Bride
It is a fair to say that without mom I would not have been who I am, and where I am standing today. She has been the force behind our academic achievements. When I was young she insisted that I take dance lessons and English lessons. She drove me back-and-forth into Tehran's terrible traffic. They both became huge blessings later in my life. Her patience and persistence has played a huge part in our family.
Parviz Mazaheri
Father of the Bride
My dad. Very blessed to have such a kind, patient and loving dad. I have always felt my back was to a mountain, which been an important part of my understanding of life and my peace and joy in life . Being the daughter of Dr. Mazaheri has always been more precious than being Dr. Mazaheri myself. It is wonderful to me to see and hear all the great qualities he sees in Aaron, his new son, and reminds me of. :)
