Wedding Party
Lina Habash
Maid of Honor
It’s only fitting that Lina is my Maid of Honor. We are more like sisters and she has been a part of so many of my best memories. She will always be there for me when I need her the most, she has shown up for me countless times over the years but the time I remember the most was when she called off of work and drove from the Bay Area to Sacramento just to be my my side. I recently had a bad day, and she delivered pizza in the shape of a heart to my work just to cheer me up. On a good day, though, you can count on her to make fun of everyone in the room without any remorse. No one is safe, and if you've ever been around her, you will know exactly what I'm talking about!
Tyler Garner
Best Man
My first best brother in law I've ever had. He's been in my life for 19 years and is truly another brother to me. Moving to Roseville and being down the street from him has brought us closer together. It's nice to see his family grow and how great he treats my sister, sets a high bench mark for myself and how I want to be when I have a family. If you ever met his kids you would see what I see, they're kinda perfect. Only downside to him is how much time he spends watching sports, except when he takes me to 49ers games with his sweet season pass seats.
Lana Batarseh
Maid of Honor
Sharing the role of Co-Maid of Honor alongside Lina is Lana, who holds a special place in my heart as not just a cousin, but as a sister. Reflecting on our journey together brings a flood of memories from our childhood. It feels like just yesterday when those moments filled our days with laughter and joy. Our conversations as children often revolved around our aspirations for the future. We would share dreams of the lives we hoped to lead, the adventures we longed to take together and apart, and the impact we desired to make on the world. Looking back, I'm certain that young Natalie and Lana would be filled with immense pride and joy to see how far we've come.
Eric Blanchard
Groomsman
My little brother. Growing up we called this guy baby head. Sounds cool but he's the opposite standing at 6'4. 100's of funny stories run through my head thinking about him growing up but the one that sticks is when all us brothers went to Mt. Bachelor on a snowboard trip. Eric is good at most anything he does BUT snowboarding turns out. We took him to the top of the hill and he was falling hard and consistently to the point he threw in the towel and had to be transported down. It was funny because he's a huge guy with a lot of pride but had to be transported down by a smaller medical lady on skis with a sled.
Brittany Garner
Bridesmaid
Brittany is my soon to be Sister in Law! She has been so welcoming from the first day I met her and has always made me feel right at home. When I found out she was the one who helped edit Dustin’s online profile it all made sense why I also clicked with Brittany so much. Turns out she helped write the biography that encouraged me to swipe right in the first place (in addition to Dustin’s baby blue eyes Ofcourse)! Not only am I gaining a friend but I am also gaining a sister and role model. Brittany is an amazing wife to Tyler, the Best Man as well as an amazing mother to Harrison and Sullivan, our lovely flower boys and ring bearer.
Steven Blanchard
Groomsman
My big brother. This guy will always be there for me. My favorite memory with Steven is building jumps in our backyard for our bicycles. It was hard work but it was worth it knowing our little brother Eric would end up wrecking on them. After every fall Eric would take, Steven and I would just grow closer together. Thanks Eric.
Josie Hagar
Bridesmaid
“Do you want a shot?” Is how our friendship began while we were out celebrating a co workers birthday. We instantly became friends that night, took silly pictures in a Photo Booth and the next thing you know she is my Bridesmaid! We can have deep talks, fun adventures and ridiculous giggles over the smallest things. One of my favorite memories is when we were tubing and she flew off. When you see her around, ask her how that story ends. It’s a funny one! She is a crazy dog lady, knows how to do her own acrylic nails and loves her reality TV!
Taylor Hagar
Groomsman
The wise Taylor, he's not very old but he's ahead of his time. A few of Taylor's favorite things are dogs, corn dogs, and watermelon white claws. I used to really like him until I went tubing went with him, he made me look like a little sissy in front of Natalie #Unforgivable. Just kidding I still really like him, he's fantastic.
Amanda Huppe
Bridesmaid
I first crossed paths with Amanda on the first day of our nursing program at Chico State. Despite my initial desire to quietly sit in the back of the class and enjoy my snacks in solitude, Amanda wasted no time in declaring us as friends. Her infectious energy and warm demeanor drew me in, and before I knew it, we were not only studying together (while drinking white claws) but also hitting the gym as workout buddies. I owe Amanda gratitude for cementing our lifelong friendship. She is the queen of puns, effortlessly injecting humor into every moment. The comfort of our friendship reminds me that sometimes, the greatest joy lies in the simplicity of just being in each other’s presence regardless of what we are doing.
Victor Batarseh
Groomsman
I've heard brother in laws can be pretty lame, luckily that is not the case with Victor. He's pretty important just a quick google search and you'll see his good looking face in a suit. He's a fantastic new brother to have in my life! He's a bit of food snob but once you get past that you'll like him I promise.
Nicole Herbert
Bridesmaid
Nicole is my older cousin and took care of me a lot when I was a child. As the years flew by the age gap between us mattered less and less and we grew closer as friends. One thing I love about Nicole is that nothing can ever kill her positive attitude and smile. The perfect example of this is the time we were going to Reno with some friends and someone ran over her foot in the parking lot. Instead of being understandably upset about her foot being ran over she was cheering with a smile on her face and was just grateful that it didn’t even hurt. She said this must be good luck for us hitting the casino when we get to Reno!
Joe Zeni
Groomsman
Joe's great. Graduated from Harvard. Spends his spare time helping people in need. Most importantly he reminds me what matters, what matters most is not having a slow car. Glad he met a girl that's best friends with my soon to be wife. Ended up gaining a great friend!
Danielle Mitry
Bridesmaid
Danielle is my older cousin that always took such great care of me growing up. She is loving, kind and very creative. She has done an internship in New York City styling the runway models for New York Fashion Week and used those great skills to design her sister Nicole’s beautiful wedding dress! She loves baking and makes the most delicious desserts. She is always so helpful and knows how to fix anything around the house, so if your microwave or anything else breaks you know who to call!
Jin Jung
Groomsman
Jin is the man! I met Jin at a cars and coffee / cruise in town and so glad I did. The more I get to know this guy the more I like him. We share similar passions, especially when it comes to our cars. He's got a great attitude and is up for anything that involves a good time.
