Anna Mikesic
Best Woman
Anna is the most incredible person Andy knows- aside from John, of course. She is stunning, successful, hilarious, and intelligent! She is also his sister and she did also write this bio.
Brittney Ewing
Best Woman
John’s bff since birth, cousin & person of honor🫶🏻
Evan Barclay
Groomsman
Evan and Andy have been friends since the dawn of time (around sophomore year of high school). Through shared interest in a multitude of niche hobbies and activities, their eternal camaraderie has only calcified. Whether it’s going to see a movie Andy likely bought the tickets for, or Andy beating Evan mercilessly in a board game, or Evan texting Andy nonsense in the wee hours of the night (and Andy always graciously humoring him), they always seem to find plenty of laughs and good times. Evan is thrilled to be a part of the wedding, as well as a part of Andy and John’s lives.
Marti Hamerle
Groomswoman
Marti Hamerle has had the pleasure of knowing John since they were thirteen years old, listening to music together on bus rides home and wreaking havoc in middle school English. From senior prom to living as college roommates, they’ve seen it all together and Marti feels incredibly blessed to be able to support her best friend on a magical day.
Joel Gallegos
Groomsman
Andy and Joel have been friends since the latter half of high school at Bishop Ward. These two pals share a fondness for tasty meals and evenings of board games amongst friends. There are too many funny and memorable moments to share here, but there's one thing that Joel has learned over a decade of brotherhood. To know Andy is to know something indelible to our humanity: that there is a beautiful power in the stories we tell and lives we live. Andy has been a joy to know over the years, especially to see his union grow stronger with John. Cheers to more years of love & laughs! (And if you ever need a hand with moving, you know I'm always there.)
Lindsey Stroud
Groomswoman
John and Lindsey first met in high school through our mutual friend, Marti, but it wasn’t until college that the two became close. Between “family dinners” and many intense game nights, the bond (and jokes) between these two became something that cannot be matched.
Pedro Morales-Sosa
Groomsman
Pedro has been a close friend of Andy's for over 10 years. Drawn together via their shared love of cinema and boardgames, Pedro and Andy regularly meet to catch the latest sci-fi thriller or crush their friends in whatever tabletop game they happen to be playing.

Trenton Sadrakula
Groomsman
Trenton has been a close friend of Andy’s for over 17 years, since they first met in 4th grade. Drawn together by their shared love of card games and similar niche interests as kids, their friendship strengthened throughout high school when Andy developed a passion for soccer. Through the years, they’ve maintained a strong bond, making Andy one of Trenton’s lifelong best friends.
Doug Adolphson
Groomsman
John and Doug met in Cub Scouts and have been best friends since the 3rd grade. Doug was John's main camping partner throughout Scouts and they spent countless hours gaming together. Most importantly, John and Doug's Snapchat streak is going on 3000 days.
