Bride's Older Sister, Twin-Troublemaker, & Constant Companion

Groom's Best Friend since Childhood, even Across Oceans

Ihssan & Jad

Married Since 2013

Close family friends of the Verspecht, with Jad having worked in France & immigrated to California with Jan following their electronic company's sale in 2012. Since then, both Jad & Ihssan have always provided Amber & Hendrik with poignant career, relationship, and all kinds of life advice. They, themselves, have had a long distance relationship & had first-hand knowledge of how hard it was. Their wisdom really helped smooth some of the struggles that arose over the 5 year period when Amber & Hendrik were separated by 9 hours and thousands of miles.

Truly they've always had only the best wishes for our relationship and their impact in our lives is bigger than either of them could expect. Ihssan has kindly agreed to officiant the ceremony, while their beautiful darling daughters, Julia & Jana, will be the Bride's Flower Girls!
