Wedding Party
Danielle Albini
Maid of Honor
Danielle, better known as Dani, is Amanda's older sister. Dani is very athletic and enjoys tennis, pickleball, and going to the gym. Dani and Amanda have always been close, and recently they have been talking to each other a lot about their weddings since Dani is getting married this year as well! They were engaged only a month apart from each other, and both will be each other's maid of honor.
Owen Brown
Best Man
Owen and Spencer first met in kindergarten, and the two have remained very close over the years. In high school, Owen would come over in the morning a few days a week to have breakfast with Spencer before walking to school. Owen is very kind and thoughtful, and we all enjoy hanging out and playing games together. We couldn't be more excited to have someone like Owen be a part of our big day.
Amanda Ford
Bridesmaid
Amanda is married to Spencer's brother Evan. Since there are now two Amandas at Ford family gatherings, Amanda Albini will often go by Spamanda, (as in, Spencer's Amanda) or Spam for short, to differentiate between the two. Amanda welcomed Spam into the Ford family with open arms and always made sure Spam felt comfortable and included at family get-togethers when she first started dating Spencer.
Evan Ford
Groomsman
Evan is Spencer's second oldest brother. His quick wit always keeps you on your toes, and you'll always find yourself laughing when he's around. In his spare time, he enjoys smoking meat, playing guitar, and woodworking. He even built his dining room table and the saltbox we keep on our kitchen counter.
Christine Hirata
Bridesmaid
Amanda and Spencer met Christine through the UCLA marching band, and she was a third trumpet with Spencer. Christine and Amanda also lived in the same apartment building during their last year of college, and the two have continued to be very close since graduating. She enjoys music, writing, and video games, and she shares Amanda's love of Animal Crossing.
Hayden Ford
Groomsman
Hayden is Spencer's oldest brother, and he is the closest thing to a pirate that we have ever met. He loves the ocean and sailing, and he will take us sailing on his boat in San Diego Bay. He also has a pet cockatiel named Napoleon and enjoys playing board games and video games.
Kayla Casey
Bridesmaid
Kayla and Amanda have known each other since sixth grade and had many classes together throughout middle and high school. They became closer friends after graduating college and moving back to their hometown. Kayla's kindness and go-with-the-flow attitude make her someone you always enjoy being around. She currently works as a teacher and enjoys hiking, traveling, and going to concerts.
Brandon Busbee
Officiant
Brandon and Spencer met in college playing Magic the Gathering. The two started weightlifting at UCLA and haven't stopped, and Brandon's max bench press is 320 lbs. Spencer and Brandon also enjoy playing co-op video games together and experimenting with cocktails. Brandon was the first friend of Spencer's that Amanda met, and we are thrilled to have him as our officiant.
