Wedding Party
Maddi Stanton-Johnson
Matron of Honor
She's Anna, she's Maddi, and all things before their partnership are "BAM". Maddi and Anna met during their freshman year of college and it was quickly apparent they had a lot in common but were greater than the sum of their parts. Eventually they became not just best friends but soulmates (but they're both so needy God had to send them each a second one). True partners in both work and play, Anna is super excited to have Maddi be a part of her special day!
Kathleen Thompson
Best Man
Kathleen met Marco in the 4th grade, he used to catch lizards in he school garden. Down the line her brother joined Marco's boy scout troop and, being a bit of a tomboy herself, Kathleen would tag along to every meeting, camping trip and hike. They became Steak and Hike buddies and by the time they got to high school they were best friends. Kathleen tributes Marco as the glue which held their friend group together in college, planning movie nights study groups and providing endless laughter at nothing at all. To this day whether they are across the country or across the globe they always have each others backs.
Becca Walton
Matron of Honor
"God made us cousins, because he knew our parents couldn't handle us as sisters." Anna's Cousin, Becca, has been waiting for this moment for her whole life. With a relationship that runs deeper than just familial ties, Anna could not imagine walking down the aisle without her.
Georgia James
Groomswoman
Georgia and Marco met in undergrad at UCSD. They bonded over their very valid fear of Organic chemistry, but Marco did point out that it would have been a lot scarier if there were piranhas involved. So excited to have Georgia with us on the big day!
Megan Avery
Bridesmaid
Anna and Megan met at some point in middle school. They spent every day together after school, even after Anna broke Megan's family pool.
Max Thomson
Groomsman
Megan Baldree
Bridesmaid
Megan and Anna met in elementary school, but Megan doesn't remember actually meeting. All Megan knows is there's not a time she can remember when Anna wasn't her friend... and Anna hasn't gotten rid of her yet!
Ignatius Widjaja
Groomsman
While unsure of their exact origin, Ignatius cites meeting Marco around the time he became the local "Popcorn God". One thing led to another and they started sleeping together, and Marco even taught him how to wield the blade... for context they were in scouts together.
Eric Winter
Bridesman
Eric and Anna met in high school but Eric, as an antisocial king, delayed their friendship until college. Together they survived college and Anna has managed to tolerate him ever since.
Roman Greer
Groomsman
Baseball
Bridesman
Cameron, better known ass Baseball, met Anna through a mutual friend and bonded over their fondness for ocean creatures. Even though her preferred marine creature is only a poopin mammal. Baseball met Marco through Anna and they were able to bond through a shared love of DnD and chaos. It remains to eb seen if Marco will recover from Baseball's antics with a dragon in an enclosed space.
Emily Nguyen
Bridesmaid
While they didn't meet in in AP calc, Emily has only been sentient as far back as her camera roll goes so now that's the historical fact. that might have been the only year math wasn't Emily's least favorite subject. Any memory involving Marco is filled with laughter and good times.
Chris Hager
Bridesman
Random stranger on the internet met Anna under false identity... twice. Let me explain, there was a Facebook group both Anna and Chris joined where a couple members would run games of survivor with hidden identities. The two of them somehow made an alliance two separate times and kept in contact ever since.
Megan Findahl
Groomswoman
Megan and Marco met when their moms dragged them to the elementary school garden on a school lunch break. Luckily, Megan had her new Nintendo handheld and they both liked Pokémon! Later on, he became the extrovert to invite Megan the introvert to fun social events: chaos and silliness ensued!
Bee Moody
Bridesmaid
Luke Cartier
Groomsman
Marco and Luke met sometime back in elementary school through a mixture of scouting and over-involved school parents. Somehow this formed a friendship that goes back basically as far as their memories go and permeates the bulk of the best part of those memories.
Karole Sutter
Bridesmaid
The roommate. Karole and Anna met through work as trainers. At first Anna didn't really like Sutter, in fact she told her so. So Sutter took that and ran with it! They ended up spending an entire day at Seaworld Orlando together, got to know each other, and came to realize that they can actually be friends. They are each lucky to have found someone who doesn't think the other is "too much". Guess they like each other enough to live together.
Cameron Doyle
Groomswoman
When asked about their origin story, the truth was that they can't pinpoint the exact moment they met. Cameron has known Marco for as long as they can remember. Cameron thinks Marco is the coolest, most down to earth, easygoing person ever and is SO excited to call him friend and be a part of this chapter of his life,
Felicia Riggs
Bridesmaid
Felicia and Anna met at work. They quickly bonded over their love of books and filthy humor. A match made in heaven
Domenick Ricci
Groomsman
Domenick is Marco's little brother. One time Marco and Domenick were doing skateboard tricks at the park by their house. Domenick was supposed to grab onto Marco as he went down the hill but some things went wrong and Marco ended up crashing and getting some gnarly road rashes. Doing this wedding together might be ALMOST as crazy as that.
