Mike Salib
Mike Salib - Best Man
Mike and Karl have shared a lifetime of cousin adventures over 34 years. Mike is the kind-hearted, compassionate cousin who used to show his love by chasing Karl around the house in a terrifying scream mask. Don’t worry, he’s a softie at heart—just keep an eye out for sudden jump scares and deep life advice!
AJ Goshinska
AJ Goshinska - Groomsman
AJ, Karl's med school buddy, is the walking definition of “good looks” and annoyingly humble about it. He still doesn’t quite understand why women are drawn to him like bees to honey, but hey, we’re not jealous at all. Nope, not even a little bit.
Blake Rosado
Blake Rosado - Groomsman
Blake has been Karl's sidekick since 2nd grade, countless sleepovers, and many goofy adventures later. He’s genuinely one of the kindest souls Karl knows, and he’d give you the shirt off his back. Except, well, if it’s a good one. Then he might just let you borrow it…maybe.
Gilbert Ortega
Gilbert Ortega - Groomsman
Gilbert is the friend you want on your side at any event, ready to crack a joke that will hit you right where it hurts (in a good way). Known for his wit, he's also an allergy expert who spends his days almost killing people with his knowledge. So, if you have a pollen allergy, maybe stay on his good side.
John Kierstead
John Kierstead - Groomsman
John, Karl's med school buddy and everyone’s favorite redhead, is bright in more ways than one. With his fiery personality and sharp wit, he’s always ready to add a spark to any gathering. He’s a rare gem in the world of medicine and an essential part of Karl's crew.
Kavin Tamizhmani
Kavin Tamizhmani - Groomsman
Kavin and Karl go way back to medical school, where he quickly became not just a friend but a source of inspiration. A dedicated researcher and academic, Kavin’s work pushes the boundaries of medical science. He’s always striving for the next breakthrough, bringing a wealth of knowledge and innovation to the table. If you ever need someone to explain complex ideas in a way that actually makes sense, Kavin’s your guy!
Kerolos Lotfy
Kerolos Lotfy - Groomsman
Kerolos is Karl's young cousin. The man loves a good laugh and dodges serious topics like he’s dodging an NBA draft he "almost" got into.
Luke Tarsitano
Luke Tarsitano - Groomsman
Luke, Karl's friend since high school, has lived the dream life as a former basketball star and even a child actor. That’s right—he was famous and talented, but he gave it all up to live a peaceful life in Santa Monica with his queen, Maggie. He’ll only talk about his acting days if you bribe him with some California beach time.
