Haanah is Saad's niece and Kasey's Maid of Honor. She is a dedicated ballet dancer and pianist. Haanah warms our hearts with her softness and loving nature. Gentle and kind, she can disarm anyone with her gleaming smile. Kasey loves a particular look that Haanah and Saad share - you can see the wheels turning in their heads. Haanah and Kasey share a love of dance and baking. Cupcakes are her favorite!

Mikael is Saad's nephew and Best Man. A natural comedian, he can outwit his way out of any situation. When not making you laugh, he will impress you with his soccer skills. His love for cars rivals Saad's love for Michigan football. The two share an interest in all things auto, sports, and hair. Recently dubbed the 'man who ate a radio' Mikael is certain to keep you entertained the entire weekend.

 

- The Ask -

When we asked Haanah and Mikael to be our MOH and BM their reactions were incredible. Mikael shouted an immediate, 'Yes!' while Haanah smiled and looked askance. 'Really?', she reluctantly asked, an excitement skipping across her lips. When we said yes, she replied, 'But I'm Saad's niece and I'm only eleven?' Well, Haanah, you'll be Kasey's niece soon and the smartest eleven year old we've ever met. Haanah and Mikael filled our evening with delightful questions about their duties and details of the event. Haanah is thrilled her twelfth birthday will take place in France and the two are extremely nervous about having to write a speech - we have assured them speeches are not required but we'll share a mike with whomever would like. We are confident in these two to be by our side as we prepare for the wedding day. They have amazed us with their sense of responsibility and dedication and we're immensely grateful for their love!

 

- Dean - 

Dean will be the officiant at our wedding. He is the reason Saad and Kasey first became friends. It was on his balcony in Chicago where we first met and later connected in London on his suggestion. Dean is much more than a match maker, though! He is a devoted friend, the most gracious host, and the life of any party. We both admire him for his loyalty, optimism, and boundless generosity. We couldn't imagine having anyone else conduct our wedding ceremony. Be sure to ask Dean for any advice on Chicago, Boston, New York, or Greece. If his warmth or wit doesn't captivate you, his charm surely will!

Our wonderful dog will be joining us in France! We could not imagine this day without our whole family. Monroe's exuberance is immediately apparent when you first meet her. She loves to say hi and will demand your attention. She absolutely loves everyone and will force you to pet her. Please be cautious when you say hi, she often gets too excited and may not be able to contain herself. She is the biggest cuddle monster and will never turn down an opportunity to snuggle with you, no matter where or when. Her cuddles are free so please feel free to take as many as you like.
