Angela & Benjamin
Wedding Party
Luca
Man of Honor
Luca is Angela's older brother, and Angela's #1 role model. They've been best buds their entire life, but their friendship has only grown stronger the older they get. Luca and Angela bond over their love of cheap beer, good music and they make a great team for Marvel trivia. Angela can't imagine her big day without her big brother by her side.
Geoff
Best Man
Geoff is Ben's younger brother. Although feisty when they were younger, like most young brothers, Geoff and Ben have grown to be best friends over the years. Geoff and Ben get together and liven up an entire room with their big smiles and booming voices. These brother can drink most people under a table, and love the Cubs more than most things. Ben is so excited to have his little brother standing next to him on his wedding day!
Rachel
Maid of Honor
Rachel and Angela's brothers were best friends growing up, so obviously they fell in line and became best friends, too! They're even more like sisters. They haven't lived near each other for over a decade, but every time they're together, it's like they were never apart. Angela has said her entire life that Rachel would always be her Maid of Honor, and she was happy to keep this promise.
Josh
Groomsman
Josh and Ben met in middle school wrestling, and have been friends ever since. They share the same love for camping, tattoos, and the Grateful Dead (and everything associated with the Grateful Dead ;)) Josh will permanently be a part of Ben's life, as Ben was once a practice pad of flesh when Josh first started his career in tattooing.
April
Bridesmaid
April and Angela have been friends since middle school, all because April liked Angela's silly gym shoes. April has been there for Angela every time she needed her, always the best wedding date around. April's goofy attitude and love for life always helps brighten Angela's mood.
Sonny
Groomsman
Sonny and Ben are an unstoppable radical duo force. Their love for fighting the machine, while still being able to laugh together is their strongest trait. They have been through so much together, that having Sonny by Ben's side for the big day is only logical.
Kristin
Bridesmaid
Kristin and Angela have been neighbors basically their entire life. As kids they used to pretend they were in rockets, into high school and college when they'd drive around aimlessly to find the perfect scoop of ice cream (April, too!) Kristin has always been a rock to Angela, able to talk her through anything. Angela knows Kristin will be the voice to calm her down if anything makes Angela panic on her big day.
Ed
Groomsman
Ed and Ben met in college while taking a songwriting class together. They instantly bonded over their love of punk, pizza and Nintendo and have been best buds ever since. Currently playing in a band together, Ed and Ben continue to collaborate musically while still making plenty of awesome memories beyond the practice space.
Julia
Bridesmaid
Julia and Angela have been best friends since middle school. Julia is an avid traveler, and Angela considers herself lucky to have been by her side for a good chunk of those travels. Julia and Angela can work through anything together, and every adventure has countless clubs, hugs, laughter and mixed drinks. Angela can't wait to have Julia by her side.
Sean
Groomsman
Sean and Ben met only a few years ago, having so many mutual friends in the Chicago music scene. Their love for both power pop and Game of Thrones is what instantly connected these two. Also in a band together, Sean and Ben can shred guitars together like nobody's business. Anyone who is a friend of guitar and the Cubs, is a friend of Ben's; and Sean fits the bill!
Nicki
Bridesmaid
Nicki and Angela have been friends since they were young kids. Their play dates used to consist of mixing candy with Easy Bake Oven mixes to see what happened. As they grew up, Nicki and Angela's friendship only continued to grow. Nicki and Angela love to go to local shows together or just sit at a park with a cold beer. Every hangout is special. Nicki and Angela have endured a lot together, so it's truly special Angela gets to have Nicki stand with her.
Brittany
Groomswoman
Brittany and Ben's friendship formed because of their strong political beliefs. Brittany and Ben have always had so many meaningful conversations, along with some of the silliest times of their lives. Brittany is one of the most generous and thoughtful friends in the world, and Ben is so honored to have her at his side on the big day.
Alaina
Bridesmaid
Alaina and Angela met while working at a spice shop together. They instantly connected over their love of feminism, the Cactus Blossoms and High Life. Alaina has been such a strong presence in Angela's life, helping her through some of the hardest days. Alaina is always compassionate and understanding. Angela's is so lucky to have found such a special friend, and she is honored to have Alaina stand with her on her special day.
Chris
Groomsman
Chris and Ben were brought together because of Monday night wings and trivia (with Angela and Alaina, of course!) Chris is the Walter Becker to Ben’s Donald Fagen— they share a mutual love for live music; the groovier, the better! So many laughs are shared between these two at many dim lit dive bars, no matter what they’re discussing.
Kyle
Officiant
Kyle and Angela have been friends since elementary school. As they grew up, they both moved to Chicago, and stayed close over the years. Kyle's has a bold personality and is a friend you'll forever want by your side. It was an easy decision to ask Kyle to officiate the wedding, and Angela and Ben are honored to have such a great friend marry them.
