Marissa & Sean
Wedding Party
Gurpuran Singh
Co-Maid of Honor
Gurpuran and Marissa met in Kindergarten when they were both 5 at IHM and have been best friends ever since. What started as playing dress up with someone else's makeup, terrible nicknames, and enough peas to last a lifetime has turned into a friendship that is old enough to legally rent a car. For years, Gurpuran lived in SF, only for Marissa to be abroad and finally, after 5 years of Marissa being abroad, Gurpuran moved to SD. So naturally, Marissa & Sean will be following suit so they can finally be reunited.
Peter Bulmer
Best Man
Peter "The Experience" Bulmer and Sean met when they roomed together in Uni where it was hate at first sight. Sean hated Peter, who shockingly went to 8AM class and unsurprisingly was loud. After Peter wore him down (as he does most), Sean and Peter became best friends and even share an Instagram to this day.
Kelsey Dannels
Co-Maid of Honor
Kelsey and Marissa met when Marissa transferred high school during their Sophomore year and quickly became best friends. After being apart for college, they both moved back to the Bay Area where Kels bestowed the greatest honor upon Marissa and gave her a drawer since Marissa was over so often. Flash forward to M&S being on Remote Year and digital nomading and Kels has joined in on the adventures all over the world.
Jay Wong
Groomsman
Jay and Sean lived together all 4 years of University and then for another 3 years afterwards. They share mutual love of being in the spotlight and traveling the world, which led to them both having life partners from countries they weren’t born in.
Brittany Lebeiko
Bridesmaid
Brittany and Marissa met during their first year of college when they both rushed Delta Gamma. They quickly became friends, bonding over In-N-Out and costume parties, and lived together during their second, third, and fourth years of college. Brittany, Kelsey (Wild), and Marissa quickly became known as the "Kids of the Playground" because our college house used to be named "the Playground" and we were always being goofy. Brittany now lives in Fresno and is finishing up her rotations to become a PA at which point, Marissa will do her best to convince Brittany to move to SD.
Dmitry Berlin
Groomsman
Dmitry (Dima) and Sean have both always shared a love for comedy. When not trying to make each other laugh, they can be found discussing tech, or fun ways they could spend money. If you meet Dmitry (Dima) at the wedding, ask him about why he would put a boat on a plane.
Kelsey Wild
Bridesmaid
Kelsey and Marissa met during their first year of college when they both rushed Delta Gamma. They quickly became friends, bonding over late-night McFlurry runs and costume parties, and lived together during their second, third, and fourth years of college. Kelsey and Marissa have been best friends since college and have even done a cross-country road trip from California to West Virginia to move Kelsey out for her dietetic internship.
Vitaly Pecherskiy
Groomsman
Vitaly and Sean became friends during their first week of university, when Sean introduced him as "the other Russian person I know" while trying to his sister Nadya. Sean and Vitaly share a love for extreme activities. Vitaly enjoys cross-country skiing in extreme cold weather, while Sean is passionate about surfing waves that are big enough to break a leg. Whenever there's a party, you can always count on Vitaly to be ready to start the fun.
Nikkie Markowitz
Bridesmaid
Nikkia & Marissa met doing what they love... scooping ice cream and talking about going out! Nikkie and Marissa were working at Walt Disney World where they were doing the college internship program. Fun fact - Nikkie met her soon-to-be husband at our program! The three of us would go to the parks on our days off and may or may not have enjoyed a few nights out at Señor Frogs...we were young, don't judge us! Nikkie and Marissa have been best friends since and Marissa will be in Nikkie's wedding in May - Congrats Nikkie & Edgar!
