Man of Honor
Until now, the Mr. to my Mrs. Even miles apart, I know I can always count on my bubz for anything, especially the bi-weekly butt dial.
Bridesmaid
Though legally only a Ghassab since October 2019, Becca has been a sister to me since she and Sasan first started dating a decade ago. As funny as she is beautiful and as kind as any human could be.
Bridesmaid
My cruisiest, booziest, jingle-footiest friend, Suzy has been in my life since elementary school, though we didn't become besties until middle school due to a playground misunderstanding involving pebbles.
Bridesmaids
If their older sister Sara was my first friend, then these two were our first fans. Over the years, the dynamic changed and we became their fans. Gone are the days of Amu Ezzat (their dad) telling me and Sara to "be nice" and play with these two. I think it's safe to say they are way cooler than us now.
Groomsman
Edwin Valentine Babbitt, who inexplicably goes by Trevor, has been a friend of mine since freshman year of college. He recently became the father of Ash Babbitt, a Portuguese Water Dog puppy. If you see someone trapped in glass box at the wedding, it's probably Trevor (he is a mime, you know).
Groomsman
Nate was my fellow bachelor during our college years. I can always count on him to design a workout that will make me throw up as well as to send instagram meme's which I can't see because the account is always somehow private. Voted most likely to quit society and go live as a lumberjack in Canada.
Groomsman
I reported to Anup when I joined Shire back in 2014. He taught me all of what I knew at the time about biotech. Since then, he contributed to my ongoing musical education as we've been to numerous concerts and festivals together. He is the life of the party and you will know his laugh as soon as you hear it.
Groomsman
As Yaz's older brother, Sasan is a more recent addition to my life. He is the "Uncle Mike" of the family, with his exquisitely detailed itineraries for the day's activities. I've enjoyed getting to know him better over the past couple years and have learned that if you try to make him eat turkey sandwiches for more than a few days in a row, he will lose it.
Groomsman
Spence and I have known each other since elementary school. Spence was the goalie on our high school soccer team, with both our careers ending in a heartbreaking semifinals loss. He disappeared to Asia to teach English for a while, but I'm glad to have him back in Boston at least until he leaves for the next adventure.
