Zahra & Daniel
Wedding Party
Victoria Burkhardt
Matron of Honor
I met Victoria for the first time in 2012 after we both pledged Delta Gamma at UNT. We were only acquaintances our first year as DGs, but we instantly clicked as soon as we moved into the sorority house together in 2013. What started with a conversation on move in day turned into the best friendship. I was honored to be Victoria's maid of honor, and I'm thrilled she will be next to me when I marry the love of my life.
Evan Wisian
Best Man
Evan was one of my first friends when I moved to Texas, and we instantly became best friends. That was over 20 years ago now, and we are still best friends and as close as ever. Together, we have been through the lowest of lows and highest of highs, and no matter what, we have always been there for each other. Evan is now a father to two amazing kids, and I am blessed to be the godfather of them. Evan is my oldest and best friend, and I am eternally thankful for that. At this point, he is more family than friend. I am honored to have Evan by my side as my best man.
Katie Clark
Bridesmaid
Katie and I met in 2015, and I was instantly drawn to her positive energy and chill personality. We grew closer my senior year of college, and I knew we would continue our friendship beyond our college years. We are always laughing when we get together. She has the best style, so I HAD to have her help me pick my wedding dress.
Matt Borden
Groomsman
Matt and I met in 8th grade at youth group. We quickly became best friends and were always competing at something, whether that be sports, video games, or some other nonsense. College together was a wild time, that I mostly remember. We have traveled the world together and have countless memories like the robot restaurant in Japan or that one time in Vegas. For as quiet as he can be, he can quickly become the loudest person in the room. We were lucky to survive all the crazy times, and now I am lucky enough to work with Matt and watch him grow and be successful. Matt is one of the best and most loyal people I know, and I am honored to have him by my side on my wedding day.
Nichole Castagnino
Bridesmaid
I met Nichole in 2013 during Delta Gamma recruitment. We connected almost instantly, and I'm so glad we got to spend our college years together. She is a huge cheerleader of mine, and I'm so thankful she will be with me on my big day!
Caleb Little
Groomsman
I have known Caleb as long as anyone. We first met playing little league baseball, and then ended up in the same youth group. After high school, we both went to Texas A&M where we spent lots of time on North Gate studying... After college, Caleb moved to California, but we always found ourselves getting together, especially for epic trips. Like our ski trip to Colorado where we skied the most amazing powder at Wolf Creek. And, our trip to Japan! When we landed I saw that Caleb was wearing a wedding band, and that was how I found out he was married to a bad ass Brazilian, Mirela. That trip was one for the record books. Even though he won't join the NFL with Evan, Matt, and me, he is still one of the best people and friends I have ever known and, I am honored to have him by my side.
Steph Nussbaum
Bridesmaid
Steph and I met in 2012 during Delta Gamma recruitment. Steph has always made an effort to look out for me and is truly my big sister. Since Daniel and I met during her and Jordan's bachelor/bachelorette party, I can't imagine my wedding day without Steph by my side!
John Schroeder
Groomsman
Where do I start with this guy? He is possibly the most preposterous human ever. I mean the guy is short and has a woman's haircut for starters. When I met him, he was a little soccer punk with bleach blonde hair "working" at a boutique fitness concept rocking pink flamingo shorts. He was a walking joke. Now he is a trainer, unfortunately my trainer, and apparently is quite good at it... I have yet to see those results tho... If you haven't picked it up yet, I am being sarcastic. John is the king of banter, it never stops, but don't tell him that - he already has a big head. John is one of the kindest, hardest working, and deep thinking people I know. Don't be fooled by his boyish appearance, he's a pretty great guy. I am honored to have the banter king by my side on my wedding day.
