Tara & John
Wedding Party
Angela Cooperman-Patton
Bridesmaid
Best friend of Tara for over nine years! We met at San Francisco state, and Angela is just one of those ride or die friends. She always keeps you laughing with her hilarious (occasionally twisted) sense of humor, is an extremely caring and creative (shoutout to Tara's bach party) person, and has been an incredible support system throughout our friendship.
Tony Fakoury
Groomsman & Officiant
Brother-in-law to John and future brother-in-law to Tara, he's been able to witness our relationship from the get go and we couldn't think of a better person to not only stand up for John, but can speak for both of us (and understand the family Tara's marrying into!).
Sarah Singh
Bridesmaid
We've known each other for nine years and also met at San Francisco State as we were rushing the same sorority, and she's been an incredible friend since day one! We have such a similar personality in so many ways, are fashionistas (if we do say so ourselves), and is the best listener with the best advice - and, knows how to have a REAL good time. TBT to our SF nights... everything you could need in a bff :)
Emma Siegel
Bridesmaid
We met while working together at a marketing company, and she quickly became her "work wife". Emma has been an incredible support and endless supply of wine and laughter since we met. We have so many similarities and are kindred spirits in so many ways, even down to our middle name. She's insanely thoughtful and always there when you need an ear or glass of bubbles!
Fabian
Groomsman
Fabian and John met while working at Donum Estate and just hit it off, and have been great friends ever since. Even though he's technically on John's party he knows when to agree with Tara and take her side ;)
Honorary Mention
Those that'll be missed
Special shoutout to three lovey ladies in Tara's life who couldn't attend the wedding, but will be missed dearly. Charlotte and Kayla will be welcoming their very first babies into the world right around the wedding time so sadly it's not safe for them to travel, but are two incredibly important people in her life. Her other cousin, Kendra, just finished a grueling graduate program and has a wedding of her own to plan, so she, too, will watch from afar. Sebastian, one of John's groomsmen, was called to work in Belgium so he couldn't join the festivities.
