Wedding Party
Mariam Chehata
Maid of Honor
Merna's ride or die. From now and then college encounters to inseparable besties. Not only does she run entire film festivals as a part-time job, but Mariam is also always a core individual in all of her loved ones' lives, never missing an important moment no matter how busy her life gets. Her role on this big day is proof!
Hani Mounir
Best Man
الصديق الجدع
Hani is not only a cherished family member, but he's also a dependable, gentle friend, husband, and father. His superpower is turning a stressful situation into a lighthearted moment.
Roba Weheba
1st Bridesmaid
Sister from another mister. Merna's relationship with Roba goes way back, and way beyond words. To be so soulfully present, supportive, and on the same level is a blessing. You'll find Roba in the sentimental details, or when you see the bride's eyes tearing up.
Evan Ehab
Groomsman
The kindest heart. Evo has been John's friend and confidant for over 10 years. Search for the funniest group at the wedding, and you'll find him at the center of it.
Habiba Saied
Bridesmaid
Started with a promise in Kindergarten that lived on until today. Habiba has been Merna's guardian angel, and authentic best friend through years of life's ups and downs. Look for something artful, inviting, and kind, and you'll find her there.
Mohamed Essam (Motto)
Groomsman
Our tech-savvy friend with a big heart. You'll find Motto helping you out to find a seat if needed especially during Church ceremony.
Shereen Hussein
Bridesmaid
Love of the entire group's lives! A great shoulder to cry on, as she can also fix your mascara right after. Shereen is the life of the wedding party and the woman behind your favorite bridesmaids' and family members' glam.
Monica Youssef
Cousin
Our unofficial family doctor, life-saver, problem-fixer, peace-maker, and joy bearer. Monica's beautiful heart and soul are the glue keeping the family together, but that's just what firstborn sisters do, right? We love her so much, and we can't wait to see her lead the best dance moves throughout the night.
Layla Hani Mounir
Flower Girl
Our favorite young little girl with the biggest mind (and heart). Lilo is our bestest friend and our lovely flower girl during the ceremony. Be sure to wave hi to her when you meet her!
Youssef Fawzy
Brother of the Bride
The Dexter to Merna's DeeDee and the best brother anyone could ever wish for. He's also the main reason everyone got their invites on time.
Sarah Youssef
Cousin
You can count on Sarah for genuine advice whenever you need her. Rebellious, inspiring, and incredibly generous. Now you know where Layla got her beauty and wit: her beautiful mom.
