Shaheen & Libby
Wedding Party
Callie Waring
Maid of Honor
Where to even start with little miss Cal!!! My built in best friend and favorite person. Growing up I always wanted to hang with Callie - I’d often ask her to keep me company while I cleaned my room since it would take forever and I'd get bored (she’d agree every few times lol). She’s put up with my silly little jokes, and nonsense my whole life and for that I am very grateful! My favorite person to sit on the couch with, eat chips ahoy and popcorn and binge netflix for hours. Callie is the ying to my yang (really!!) we are so different but similar at the same time. I envy her for her independence, confidence and just being SO cool. I am so lucky to have a sister like her and can't imagine life without her in any way shape or form. Love her forever.
Chris Matinog
Best Man
Chris and I met in high school. Some would’ve even thought we would end up together given the bromance over the last 15+ years. We legit met each other while running away from a house party that the cops rolled and sparked a friendship when we hid in a bush until the coast was clear… straight up felt like a scene from Superbad. I wish I could tell everyone this one time I was with Chris, but the truth is.. stuff like this happens all the time when we’re together. Thanks for always being Harry whenever I’m acting like Lloyd.
Nicole Watters
Bridesmaid
Nicole and I met in 6th grade. We had just moved to California and I so desperately wanted to be friends with the girl who also did gymnastics. I knew right away Nicole and I would be BFFS. Nicole on the other hand, wasn’t so sure haha. I won her over and we were two peas in a pod all through middle school & high school and beyond. Very grateful, because without her I would have had to eat lunch alone with 2 broken arms at age 13 and no one to feed me cookies and pizza in the cafeteria. 20 years later, and we are just as close as we were when we were at 11 years old! <3 <3
Elliot Wainess
Groomsman
Elliot and I first met in middle school. We shared a special bond early on, celebrating a defeated (0-10) 8th grade flag football season together. Over the years our friendship continued to grow, and to fund our lifestyle outside of school, we picked up a summer job at West Elm. I could always count on Elliot to cover for me while I took a nap in the back of the stock room. We live on opposite sides of the world today, but what hasn’t changed is that Elliot always shows up when it matters most.
Chandler Albert
Bridesmaid
Chandler is my little fashion and makeup guru. We met in sports medicine in highschool and instantly bonded. Not only is she one of my best friends, but she's my go to therapist and the person who I know can instantly calm all anxiety. Everyone needs a Chandler in their life (especially if you’re up for a good rom com or murder mystery with a glass of vino- our favorite type of night!!) We have endless memories driving aimlessly in high school, living together in college & San Francisco, traveling to Aruba, Hawaii, OHIO, Vegas, and sooo many more places. Forever and always my BFF and grateful that even states away we are forever attached at the hip!! Lucky to have a best friend like Bingbabe!
Noa Bezdek
Bridesmaid
Noa (& Chandler lol) are the reason my A in Algebra dropped to a C+. Lucky for all of us, I got that back up quick. We met in highschool and have been inseparable since. She’s my daily OOTD partner, the one who I must inform every little daily detail of my life and also the one who provides the most honest advice. You may have seen us at Love Fest 2009 frolicking the streets of San Francisco and just enjoying our little lives! We have so many memories together all throughout college & beyond. Lucky for me, Noa now lives in Denver so I can just shimmy on over to her house for our fave -wine nights! Love her >
Nick Joelli
Groomsman
Nick and I met freshman year in the dorms at Oregon. Being both originally from the Bay Area, we instantly hit it off. We would drive to and from school together along I-5 and reminisce on the school year, thinking college life would last forever. However, Nick graduated early and went on to get his masters in Boston. While we were living on two different coasts, Nick always made an effort to visit me in Eugene or back home. I admire Nick’s loyalty and determination to fulfill his personal and professional goals.
Jordan Smail
Bridesmaid
I first met Jordan freshman year in college and I knew I wanted to be her friend. I latched on quick and we were inseparable ever since! We lived together for 7+ years in SD & SF and it was very sad when we eventually had to move out. Endless late nights in the SDSU library, college parties, Dorothy nights sitting on the couch and ordering food, San Francisco happy hours, vacays- the list goes on and on. We could be just sitting on the couch together watching tv & not talking for hours, or laying beachside in Aruba (drink in hand) and it’s always the best time. Whether we are watching friends with the crazy kids or chatting for hours on the phone, I am extra grateful for my forever soul sister, (almost) bday twin, and favorite person ever.
Michel Sayo
Groomsman
Michel and I first met at work in San Francisco. Having professional sales experience under his belt, Michel mentored me through my first sales/corporate job. Outside of work, Michel influenced my decision to move to Adam’s Point, a neighborhood in Oakland where we lived two blocks from each other. One of my favorite memories was when he convinced Libby and I to reschedule our first trip (Austin, TX) together at the last minute so we wouldn’t miss his 30th birthday. Michel always aims to create a lasting experience fueled by his passion to show people a good time!
Samantha Bryant
Bridesmaid
Sam and I also met freshman year in college. Forever my Delta Gam sister friend & lover of all things anchors and the type of person you always want in your life. She will surprise you with her witty little jokes. She is the one who I can call any time of the day and we can chat nonsense for hours! We have so many memories from living together sophomore year-senior year in college and sharing a wall in Dorothy (so many laughs with our hallway adventures lol). From SD to SF, Europe, Vegas, and endless LA trips, we’ve had the most fun times. Missing the days where we could easily enjoy a HH in SF or bff dinner but lucky for me zoom happy hours boomed this year!! Sam really is such a light in my life and idk where I’d be without her!
Lewis Bichkoff
Groomsman
Lewis was my first roommate in Oakland when I moved back home from college. Remember to ask me about the time Lewis needed the apartment to himself for a night. That story aside, we would spend weekends going out in the town or playing basketball at 24 fitness. You would think Lewis grew up in Oakland, given the love the guy has for the hood and bettering the community. While we have moved on as roommates, we always manage to link up and keep the party going regardless of whatever city we live in.
Chris Parman
Bridesmaid
Chris and I met freshman year in College through DG and were lucky enough to also be roomies sophomore -senior year! Having the same major we shared many classes & late night cram sessions together. Who even knows what we learned in Business Law (the longest 3 hour Thursday night class ever (Chris & Jordan were my saving grace). I always envied Chris as she finished the Sudoku puzzles much quicker than I did but lucky to have such a smart friend in my circle of bffs. We frolicked Europe together (twice!) (Nate, too) and it was one of the best summers- Endless nights of lolling, good food and staying up way too late. If I ever need sound advice, Chris is my girl! She’s been there every step of the way through college and beyond. Love her endlessly!!!
Mason Webb
Groomsman
Mason was my other roommate in Oakland when Lewis moved out and was instrumental in Libby and I getting together. As a former MLS player, Mason wanted so badly to start a co-ed soccer league. We struck a deal one night, when I needed him to be my sidekick after Libby invited me to go out with her friends. The deal was to help him put a soccer team together, and we ended up recruiting Libby and her friends to join our soccer team later that night. Seasons after seasons, friendships grew, new ones were made and a couple championships were won... in pink uniforms.
Allie Waring
Bridesmaid
Allie is my go to girl for all netflix recs (& completely understands my obsession with Schitts Creek, Hart of Dixie & Jane the Virgin)! Not only is she the best mama to my 3 cutie nephews but she's the greatest SIL!! We always have the best times when we are together. One of my fave memories is when she and Stephan spent a weekend with us in Denver. Give us a fancy/chocolatey drink and we are just the happiest little sisters. Looking forward to a lifetime of memz with her by my side. <3 <3 <3
Stephan Waring
Groomsman
Growing up with sisters only, I’m excited to call Stephan my soon to be brother-in-law. I appreciate his witty humor and go with the flow attitude. I hate that he roots for Ohio State (and all other Ohio teams), but this will make for a fun rivalry for years to come. I know I can turn to Stephan to lighten the mood in all situations and look forward to future holidays and visits where we can enjoy craft beers and watch The Office or talk sports.
