Tori & Atish
Wedding Party
Alex Zepeda
Maid of Honor
Nothing quite compares to your older sister. Alex has been guiding Tori all of her life through her most important decisions, so it's fitting that she would be her maid of honor. Alex is a phenomenal mixologist, incredibly funny, and recently engaged! Ask her where you should go to dinner; you won't be disappointed.
Raquel Moreno
Bridesmaid
Raquel and Tori grew up in the same neighborhood and have been best friends since the 6th grade! Raquel is Tori's most loyal and supportive friend through classwork, boy drama, and many, many cocktails. She is an absolute Disney fanatic and incredibly kind. Tori and Raquel even speak in their own language entirely made up of 90's movie quotes!
Ellen Young
Bridesmaid
Ellen became one of Tori's closest friends when they met working at HUB. Ellen is incredibly passionate about environmentalism and the ocean, she's a very talented diver as well. It's rumored she may be Burt's Bees #1 customer. Tori regards her as her primary wing woman and confidante. Talk to her about whales, bees, wine, and cheese.
Javi Martinez
Bridesman
Javi became very close to Tori very quickly. She regards him as one of her most honest and trustworthy friends. He is an incredibly talented artist, photographer, and tequila-consumer. Ask to see pictures of his new puppy Hamilton. Worth it.
Colton Marshall
Best Man
Best friend doesn't quite do Colton Marshall justice. He and Atish have been friends since playing on the same soccer team in the 3rd grade. These two do just about everything together and claim to share a melded mind. He's a skilled magician and incredibly funny. Just don't get him started on Nietzsche...no seriously, don't.
Brandon Mittman
Groomsman
Brandon Mittman and Atish met in Freshman year of high school and immediately bonded. Besides being an excellent father and a phenomenal software engineer, he's incredibly sharp, sarcastic, and funny. Ply him with whiskey and he'll tell you more than a few embarrassing stories about Atish in college.
Sean Wilcox
Groomsman
Sean is credited as being the older brother Atish never had. If you've never met him, Sean is like some pan-dimensional being who comes out of the darkest parts of the universe to teach you important lessons on how to be honest with your feelings, how to cut a rug, and how to do an elegant extended wine pour.
Natasha Mazumdar
Groomswoman
When not running 50K in some backwoods mountain trail or practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Natasha can be found walking an inordinate number of dogs somewhere in Urbana-Champaign Illinois. She is a Ph.D. candidate and arguably one of the funniest people alive. She's also the reason we have to shell out extra for specialty vegan meals. But we do it gladly because we love her.
Chris Scott
Groomsman
You'll be able to identify Chris Scott at the wedding because he will almost certainly be the tallest person in the room. He will also be able to quote just about any movie from the '80s. He is one of Atish's closest friends, but also a personal mentor. An incredibly accomplished filmmaker, photographer, and podcaster go find Chris's work on Amazon Prime and ask him about his upcoming projects.
Samantha Marshall
Officiant
When planning the wedding, it was clear that the role of officiant belonged to Sam. She got introduced to Tori and Atish as Colton's girlfriend, but by the time of this wedding, she will have become his wife! She endured the long nights of Colton and Atish talking loudly over movies to become a very close friend of Tori. Tori and Atish agree that they have never met someone as compassionate, driven, and kind as Sam, and therefore the choice to bring her into the wedding was obvious.
