Rachel met Monica three years ago through Arash and immediately became a warm, supportive presence in her life. She’s the ultimate hype woman, always showing up with love, encouragement, and laughter. From making memories on 30A, to homemade pizza nights in, their friendship is built on both fun and genuine connection. It’s an honor to have Rachel standing beside Monica and Arash on such a meaningful day.

There is truly never a dull moment with Samantha. She brings out Monica’s goofy side and proudly embraces her role as the big sister everyone wishes they had. Between traveling together, dreaming big about the future, and laughing over the good old days of sisterly love (aka minor chaos and silly fights), life is always more fun with Samantha by her side.

Ellie is Monica’s beloved bonus sister and someone she feels incredibly lucky to gain. A trusted confidant and the perfect partner for spa days, new wine bars, or spontaneous breakfast runs, Ellie brings warmth, kindness, and ease into her life. Ellie's super power is she always makes you feel seen. She truly is a wonderful gift of a sister.

Dario and Arash attended the same high school but never crossed paths. Shortly after graduation, their paths collided again when they became coworkers as valet drivers. Arash still tells everyone that he didn’t like Dario when they first met—but now proudly calls him his brother. From years as roommates to countless stories, shared adventures, and planned trips, their friendship has only grown stronger.

Mase is Arash’s cousin, and the two met back in Miami, where they were both born. Their childhood was far from ordinary—mainly because Mase was a full-time daredevil. Arash had to step in on more than one occasion to save his life, fully living up to the meaning of his name. Ask Mase for the story—he’ll gladly tell it. Miami was also home to their first major “conflicts,” which mostly involved heated arguments over Arash’s stuffed Super Mario and Mase’s beloved teddy bear, Tommy. Their teenage years were spent in Texas and were filled with go-kart racing, toilet-papering houses, endlessly quoting early-2000s movies, running missions, working together at the family restaurants, and settling minor disputes the only reasonable way—by battling it out on NFL Blitz for the N64.

Shayan is Arash’s nephew and the youngest (and coolest) groomsman! He’s an avid lacrosse player, loves spending time fishing, and makes every moment more fun just by being himself. When he’s not in school, scoring game-winning goals on the lacrosse field, or out fishing, you can find him posting on his YouTube channel. Follow him, show some love, and maybe even learn a thing or two at @ShayanTheChef.
