Aashna & Ben
Wedding Party
Alexa King

Sam Sornsen
Best Man
Sam is Brother #1, and is the calm and collected one of the Sornsen boys, and really embodies the 'cooler than the other side of the pillow' mentality. He has been by Ben's side through thick and thin, is often the voice of reason in any situation, and can fix any of your household problems with a hammer and a grin. Fun Fact: Sam is a 'never say uncle' kind of guy. Do not get into a wrestling match with him as he will not quit until he comes out on top!

Amaan Shaikh
Groomsman
Amaan is Brother-in-law #1, and what a blessing it was that Ben and Amaan hit it off from day #1. You can find the two of them conversing for hours about anything sports, and do not try Amaan on his 49er's trivia, he will not be stumped! Fun Fact: Amaan is a musical connoisseur. His appreciation for all types of genres far and wide can not go understated - if interested, ask him about some of his favorite, curated playlists!

Jacob Contreras
Groomsman

Do not challenge him in any sport with a ball, as its only a matter of time before he gets the best of you!
Anna Puchi
Bridesmaid
Anna was Aashna's "little sister" in their college sorority and Aashna simply adores everything about her!

Fun Fact: she is the definition of a "Yes (Wo)Man" and has a hard time saying "no" to anything!
Cameron Ashtiani
Groomsman
Not enough can be said about the special bond that Cam and Ben have shared over the past 10 years. High school friends and college roommates, the two of them will age together reminiscing on the best times, and have always been each others' shoulders to lean on when they needed it. Fun Fact: Cam was a star football player throughout high school, and trained alongside some of today's NFL athletes. He even got a feel for the sport at the collegiate level!
Caroline Tanonis
Bridesmaid
Caroline has remained one of Aashna's best friends since middle school. Though distance has separated them on and off since college, Caroline has always been a constant positive influence in Aashna's life. Whenever they are back together, they reminisce about the good ol' days of watching Heath Ledger movies and hot tubbing in her backyard. Fun Fact: she thinks she may have been born in the wrong era. If she had it her way, she would be THE marvelous Mrs. Maisel herself!
Brandon King
Groomsman
Brandon and Ben have become extremely close over the past couple years, and share so many of the same interests that it is hard to ennumerate them. Whether they are watching Youtube videos before a night out, or sharing the basketball court in 24 Hour Fitness, these two are always down for a great time. Fun Fact: Brandon has an excellent career as a UX Designer, but do not sleep on his haircutting abilities. His attention to detail and passion for the craft are next to none!
Meher Randhawa

They have gone through many of life's awkward stages together (think 9 year olds belting Abba and talking about boys) and continue to stay close through it all! Fun Fact: she has always had an itch to live in new places! Since high school, she has lived in Pleasanton, Pebble Beach, NYC, Boulder, and SF
Dustin Lester
Groomsman
These two seemed attached at the hip in college. Ben credits Dustin for taking him under his wing and showing him the Southern California lifestyle, whether that was blasting across Lake Mead in a Hallett, or attending countless USC football games on Saturdays. Ben and Dustin will be able to reminisce on their college days and their countless Friday and Saturday nights out for the years to come. Fun Fact: Dustin is a man of many talents, ranging from the accounting to his recent endeavors into the canned beverage business.

Danielle Mateo
Bridesmaid
Danielle and Aashna also went to college together where they made many memories lounging by the Chapman pool and participating in sorority events.

Feel free to challenge her to a game of basketball and be ready to lose!

Groomsman
Chance and Ben hit it off right away during their Sophomore year, and have been close friends ever since. Also college roommates, the two of them can be found talking for hours on end about their many shared interests. The two of them will remain great friends in the years to come, and Ben hopes Chance's recent move to the Bay Area will become a permanent stomping ground for him. Fun Fact: Chance is one of the best physical therapists in the Bay Area. If you have any aches, pains, or need advice on how to heal an injury, he is your guy!
Robby Adamson
Groomsman
Likely Ben's most talented friend, Robby seems to become the best at whatever he sets his mind to. Ben and Robby's tight bond throughout college (especially the brutal accounting major and the fraternal days) made their relationship even stronger post college, where the two can be seen chatting about basketball, Coachella, or life in general. Fun Fact: When Ben highlights Robby's talents, he is not kidding. He can show you the ropes on anything from the Accounting and Law professions, to the tennis court, to the Mozart-like music he creates when behind a piano.
