Irene & Michael
Wedding Party
Angela Koumi
Matron of Honor
SISTER! Angela has been Irene's best friend since the tender age of two years old. Also known as Baby Ang, she is the kindest sweetest sissy and has been known to complete Irene's sentences.
Grant Shambo
Best Man
Grant is Michael's brother. He often credits Michael for making him into the man he is today, thanks in no small part to Michael teaching him how to golf and do accounting stuff. Being Michael's best man is considered his greatest honor.
Theodora Vlitos
Maid of Honor
Theodora and Irene met at Loyola. Irene worked at the front desk at the residence hall and was stalking all the Greek resident names for Hellenic Student Association recruits. From then on, they were sisters. You won't find a more loyal friend than Theodora.
Stavros Tsitsopoulos
Koubaro
Long-time friend, former roommate and life of the party! We are so excited for Stavros to be our koubaro! Stavros is a newlywed and we are so happy to be koubaroi with Stavros and his 'betser' half, Betsy!
Georgia Angelakos
Bridesmaid
Cousin, best friend, sister! Georgia is an amazing friend and confidant. Growing up she was a great cousin, friend, babysitter, and math/chem/bio tutor. Irene is so lucky to have such an amazing cousin in her life.
Nathan Sturdevant
Groomsman
Nathan and Michael met in college and bonded over simulating the next 20 years of MLB seasons on PlayStation. Being Michael's groomsman is considered his greatest honor.
Angela Angelakos
Bridesmaid
Cousin, not to be confused with baby Ang. She has been known to wear pearls to the club. Angela is a glam, jet-setting force to be reckoned with! Ang is the life of the party and brings fun and brightness everywhere she goes.
Kyle O'Keefe
Groomsman
Kyle impressed Michael in college after he overcame adversity and became one of Shreve's 8th floor's best short stops in intramural baseball history. Being Michael's groomsman is considered his greatest honor.
Johanna Capecci

Cousin, creative genius, mentor and tech guru! Johanna is Irene's cousin closest in age. Growing up, she spent every weekend babysitting us and throwing disco parties for us Friday nights, and she played Barbies with us endlessly.
Dimitri Kandalepas
Groomsman
Dimitri showed Michael his and Angela's wedding video the first night they had met. He said "you and Irene will be getting married here in June 2023". Turns out he was right with that prediction, hopefully he'll use those skills more on NBA parlays. Being Michael's groomsman is considered his greatest honor.
Emmy Makridakis
Bridesmaid
Cretan cousin, and fellow glam gal. Amazing Cretan dancer. Emmy is the sweetest person! She is so kind and insightful!
Keith Woods
Groomsman
Keith and Michael are cousins and know how to turn up. Their Call of Duty party consisting of them, Grant, and Uncle Jimmy was borderline unstoppable back in the day. Being Michael's groomsman is considered his greatest honor.

Cousin from Cyprus. Since she was a baby she has been so sweet and loving. We are so excited to she can be a part of our wedding.

Thanos Davelis
Groomsman
Cross breeze from across the seas. Irene and Thano met when she was in 7th grade at JOY soccer at Sts. Constantine and Helen. Although she has no recollection of this. They met again at Loyola and were "brothers" ever since. Michael and Thano share a special connection, and have worn the same exact outfit out three times. Being Michael's groomsman is considered his greatest honor.
Kristen Gutierrez
Bridesmaid
Sister-in-law. Smile is infectious! Kristen is such a friendly and outgoing person. We are so happy to have her in our wedding party, but we're not entirely convinced she isn't coming to Greece just for the pita.
Jared Gutierrez
Groomsman
Jared and Michael met at Goose Island not long after he started dating Michael's sister Kristen and Michael knew immediately he was a pretty cool dude. Being Michael's groomsman is considered his greatest honor.

Stelios is Irene's second Godson. He is a fierce, brilliant scientist! If you have any questions on human anatomy, astronomy or world issues in general please ask him. He will be happy to answer.
Leo Martinez
