Wedding Party
Lauren Ocak
Maid of Honor
Lauren is my Maid of Honor, sister, and the person I've looked up to my whole life. She is tenacious, driven, and one of the most loyal people I know. When she's not teaching, she loves spending time with her two wonderful daughters, Sonoma and Vera, and her husband Steven.
Evey Wetherbee
Bridesmaid
Evey is my sister-in-law and one of the smartest, funniest, and most loving people I know. She is a professor at Mercer University and a photojournalist who's passionate about documentary filmmaking. She's also the mother of my niece Wilson and my nephew August, and I feel so lucky to have her as a sister.
Taylor Hogue
Bridesmaid
Taylor is one of my longtime best friends. We've known each other since high school and shared so many great memories together, from her sister's 21st birthday party in a limo to our Texas and beach trips. She's hilarious, loyal, and I can't imagine my big day without her.
Savannah Howard
Bridesmaid
Savannah is not only my cousin, but someone I would call one of my very best friends. We've been inseparable since we were babies. She has one of the most charming personalities of anyone I know, and it's hard to be with her and not have her infectious personality lift your mood. I am so lucky to have her in my life.
Alyssa Gagnon
Bridesmaid
Alyssa is my cousin and one of the most fun, kind, and thoughtful people I know. She's my kindred spirit and has always been there to support me through life's transitions. She's also creative and a wonderful mother to her two wonderful kids, Willow and Hollis.
Bekah Brucato
Bridesmaid
I met Bekah in high school and am so proud to call her one of my best friends. She's smart, wise, and stands up for what she believes in. She works as a chemist and in her free time loves to fish with her husband Matt. We've shared so many wonderful memories together, and she's been a fabulous friend who's always been by my side.
Karsyn Kendrick
Bridesmaid
Karsyn and I have been best friends since college. She's smart, funny, and follows her heart in everything she does. She's always been there for me when I've needed her, and I wouldn't want to scream-sing "Love on Top" by Beyonce with anyone else. I can't wait to have her by my side on my big day!
Esme Smith
Bridesmaid
I met Esme a couple of years ago, but it feels like we've been friends forever! She's funny, down-to-earth, and always supportive. We've had so many good times together including our many picnics, a trip to the mountains, and exploring the Georgia Terrace. I am so fortunate to have Esme there on my big day.
Mitch Rice
Best Man
Mitch is my best man and has been one of my closest friends ever since we met at UGA a decade ago, where we hit it off over our shared senses of humor and hobbies. Mitch is an avid traveler and enjoys fitness, video games, and software development. He’s one of the smartest, kindest, and most loyal people I know and has been there for me through thick and thin. I’ve been honored to call him my friend all these years.
Hassan Khan
Groomsman
Hassan is my younger brother and one of the best human beings I know. We’ve always made each other laugh through all of life’s challenges and I’m so grateful to have always had him as a supportive presence. Hassan is an avid football fan and runs a YouTube channel called Time2Football (like and subscribe), where he discusses the latest football-related news and updates (like and subscribe). Besides football, he enjoys being active and spending time with friends and his wife Sarah.

Glenn Maust
Groomsman
Glenn is one of my best friends and one of the funniest, most likable, and most loyal people I know. We met during our time at UGA and have only grown closer over the years. He can get along with anyone and is the life of the party anytime he’s around. We both also enjoy when I give him unsolicited medical advice (especially related to hepatic health). Glenn enjoys go-karting, golf, video games, and spending time with friends and his wife Rachel and daughter Leighton.
Alex Ashkeboussi
Groomsman
Alex has been one of my closest friends for a decade now. We met at UGA and found we had so much in common from our senses of humor to our experiences growing up that we hit it off immediately. He’s one of the kindest and most compassionate people I know, and I know I can come to him with anything and know he’ll be there to offer support. In his free time he enjoys tinkering with computers, playing video games, and spending time with his wife Britani and their dog Melanie.
Robby George
Groomsman
I met Robby in pharmacy school at UGA, and he’s been one of my favorite people ever since. He’s one of the smartest people I’ve ever met and has the gift of being able to get along with anyone. Throughout our years of friendship and even now, we have never failed to have a great time together. In his free time he enjoys playing tennis, video games, and spending time with friends.
Bobby Kuhlke
Groomsman
Bobby and I have known each other for a few years now, and he’s quickly become one of my favorite friends. He’s one of the most genuine and easygoing people I know, and he’s always looking out for his friends’ best interests. We initially hit it off over our shared love of golf, and we still have a great time struggling together on the course (we will win the club championship one day). Besides golf, he also enjoys video games, go-karting, and spending time with friends.
