I met Pantea about 17 years ago while we both were working in the dental field. Through the years we have grown together in so many ways. Pantea has been more like a sister to me, she is so loved by my kids and family. We have been on many vacations and adventures together. If you know Pantea, you know she loves to travel and visit new places and explore new things. She’s got one of the best personalities I’ve ever come across with in life. She's got a beautiful kind heart and soul. I have witnessed her pursuit her dreams and accomplish her goals in becoming a lawyer and be successful at what she does. I am honored today to have front row seating at one of the most important days in her life. I Wish her and Aaron a blessed and a life time marriage.
Best Man
Hi! My name is Damon. AKA...Aaron's little brother. I have known Aaron my entire life. No really, I have. Aaron and I go a long way back. From tossing the baseball when I was 7 to playing video games deep into the night. We've been through a lot together. Growing up, experiencing new places and moving far away from where we were raised. Despite the distance, our relationship has only gotten closer. Aaron is the best brother I could ever have. I am proud of my big brother and can not wait for this special day coming soon!

I was 9 years old when I met Pantea in 1991. She had just moved to the US from Norway and I got to meet my new "cousin" for the first time. It's hard to believe we've been in each other's lives for 32 years. There's absolutely way too much history to be able to summarize what our friendship has meant to me over the past 3 decades. Pantea has been my cousin, my best friend, my partner in crime, my maid of honor, my traveling buddy, my advocate, my dance partner, my fellow TIESTO lover, my dental consultant, and so much more. I've prayed for years for Pantea to find her true love and I'm so, so happy that she found her soulmate in Aaron. They are perfect for each other, and I am so honored to be there as they exchange vows in September. Congratulations Pantea and Aaron!

Aaron and I met over 20 years ago at a bank called Central Carolina Bank, CCB. At the time I worked at the Helpdesk and he worked in our Call Center department, TeleBanking. We didn’t know each other very well back then, only passing each other in the halls occasionally, but he worked closely with my dad whose department managed the phone systems. Another bank bought CCB and we went our separate ways for several years. Flash forward to about 10 years ago when I became a brand new employee of Square 1 Bank only to find out Aaron had been working there since it opened. We reconnected and started working together on some projects. The rest, as they say, is history. We’ve been there for each other through good times and bad and have always had each other’s back. He and Pantea seem perfect for each other; I couldn’t be happier seeing them embark upon this new life together as one.

Pantea and I are close friends and have known each other for 24 years. I would like to say we know everything about each other, even if we had a quarrel we were reminded by someone dear “you guys need to talk, you guys are like sisters." We would never stay mad for long, it would hurt. Pantea is my best friend whom I love to spend time with and laugh about smallest to the biggest things until it hurts. We are by each others side whether it be in happiness or in sorrow, and we can always count on each other. I can trust my best friend in any situation and she can trust me, because she is my family. With lots of love , Candy

Aaron (Dad) and I met on April 30th, 1999. I don’t recall too much from that day besides the fact that he was just there all of a sudden. I’ve known him my entire life (not even exaggerating). We’re kinda the same in the sense that we love a perfectly grilled steak, watching Tar Heel basketball, and working on our golf swings.

Pantea and I met while working together at Avalon Dentistry. Pantea was intelligent, bubbly and beautiful. She always had a smile on her face and could alleviate any office drama that came up. We started taking salsa lessons together and traveled to Italy and Switzerland together. Pantea was always such a true and good friend. From fashion tips to dating tips and everything in between, she always knew the answer. Anyone who has Pantea in their life knows that she is a true blessing. I’m truly grateful to know her.

I met Aaron when he first started dating Pantea. For 2 years now we have had great double dates, bowling nights, and gone on great trips. I feel very honored to be a part of such an important day for both Aaron and Pantea.

Pantea and I met 13 years ago during our first week of law school and instantly became friends. From the struggles of pulling all night study sessions, to the experiences of traveling abroad together, and through all of our other mini adventures in between, I am honored to be a part of yet another memorable event in her life. I love you, Pantea. Thank you for allowing me to stand beside you on your big day. Congrats to you and Aaron on finding a soulmate in each other. Love, your favorite third wheel. Lumpia Fam for life!!!

"The year was 2001... I was a recent hire at Central Carolina Bank in Durham, North Carolina. Word circulated around the bank pertaining to a tall, chocolate, intelligent guy with an amazing sense of humor. Aaron's better half (department colleague) at the time confirmed all accounts. Aaron eventually sent an email at work insisting we meet for lunch because of the constant chatter. We went to lunch and discussed our fandom for the Yankees and Redskins (secondary NFL team). After many trips to Darryl's, Satisfaction's, and NASCAR events, the friendship matured. We remained friends throughout many years, including the kids growing up and finding favor with God."

Dearest Pantea, Words cannot describe how excited I am for you. I’ve known you for 41 years now and I have not met anyone as fun, kind, and genuine as you. As I walk down memory lane, our outings to Disneyland, Sea world, Wild Rivers as children, then to weekend hangouts in LA, our mini trips to New York, Vegas. They all fill my heart with so much joy and happiness. I will always cherish those memories. I am so happy that you finally found your soulmate. Aaron is a very lucky guy and I’m sure he will never have a dull moment his life. As you always plan the most fun activity, dinner, vacation or anything you name it. I can’t wait to celebrate your big day with you, as you start this new chapter in your life. I wish you and Aaron all the love, laughter and happiness in the world. Know that I’ll always be there for you if you ever need anything.

I'm so glad Pantea was able to find my dad and that my dad found his final forever with her. May they always have safe travels and amazing adventures together!
