Wedding Party

Arlene Parra - Bride
Salim Sabbagh - Groom
Inci Askin - MAID OF HONOR
The longest friend, college bestie, Turkish sunshine, and forever partner-in-everything. The Type A queen and planner of dreams, with a heart as big as her calendar.
Steven Sabbagh - BEST MEN
All about getting down and dirty, whether it's fishing, cars, or fixing literally anything in Salim's life. Beyond his talents, he's an incredible cousin and friend always going above and beyond to support those closest to him.
Cynthia Cruz - BRIDESMAID
Loud, proud, and 100% Colombian chaos in the best way. Always up to something and guaranteed to have the whole crew laughing before the drinks even hit.
Richie Sabbagh - BEST MEN
A literal gentle giant with one of the most genuine souls out there, while also a firecracker who keeps the everyone around him young and full of energy.
Emily Garcia - BRIDESMAID
Don’t be fooled by the sass—she’s as warm as the sunshine she chases, always there when it counts. Catch her on the dance floor at the wedding, killing it to old-school merengue and salsa.
Shawn Parra - GROOMSMAN
Best friend, brother, and ride-or-die. Whether it's indulging in geeky shows together or just being there when it counts, his goofy humor brings lightness to every moment .. even the serious ones. *Beware of shots.*
Stephanie Castro - BRIDESMAID
The quiet one but always down for deep convos and chisme with a side of Prosecco. A certified pasta enthusiast and low-key 90s music aficionado who always seems to get dragged into her cousins' shenanigans.
Alex Gibson - GROOMSMAN
The hot shot football player who took 4-ft Salim under his wing as a freshman in HS. Even though he moved over a thousand miles away, he never fails to stay connected and support, proving that distance doesn’t change the bond of true bromance.
Denise Arroyave - BRIDESMAID
The bachata queen with hips that never lie and comebacks quicker than a shot of tequila. She brings the rhythm and the sass—don’t let the smile fool you, she's up to no good.
Kyle Kurczeski - GROOMSMAN
The heartbeat of the friend group who always goes the extra mile to keep everyone close, ensuring the bond never fades. His unwavering dedication to maintaining the close-knit crew makes him irreplaceable.
Michelle Sabbagh - BRIDESMAID
Silent but deadly, the undercover MVP of the family who thrives in chaos, plans like a boss, and mixes cocktails that could start (or end) a revolution. 100/10
Jason Obiedzinski - GROOMSMAN
Salim's first ever college roommate and instant best friend. The walking party, known to out-drink everyone at the shore house. Don’t go shot for shot with this guy.
Serena Sabbagh - BRIDESMAID
Picture 'sound on' in the absolute best way-- an energy and laugh that fills the room and a heart even bigger. Basically sunshine in human form, and somehow always the happiest person in the group.
Mike Zara - GROOMSMAN
A/K/A "Tike." The friend that never says no to a good time, making him a true legend. Sure to have you in tears without even trying. May or may not be laughing AT you, not with you.
Taha Siddiqui - OFFICIANT
Mutual work friend/colleague who took on the role of Cupid in trying to set up the bride and groom before they were ready (or willing). His larger-than-life personality makes him a fan fave, and now the officiant as life comes full circle.
