Wedding Party
Terrel Hutton Hicks
Bridesmaid
Terrel and Anne met when we were 10 years old - they grew up on the same avenue in San Francisco. Many many sleep overs, overnight camp, grade school, dancing school, high school and beyond created one of the deepest most amazing friendships Anne has ever had, a true sisterhood. Anne is very honored to have Te at her side for this wonderful occasion!
Jared Trudeau
Groomsman
Jared and Blake met at Penn State when Blake was in undergrad and Jared was pursuing his MFA in Voice Pedagogy. Since then, their mutual admiration of all things nerdy and scientific has been the foundation for a glorious wizard's tower of friendship. Blake was honored to be a part of Jared and his beautiful wife Carolyns' wedding, and is thrilled to have Jared by his side for this journey.
Jennifer Vaden Barth
Bridesmaid
Jen and Anne met on the National Tour of the Broadway musical "Ragtime" and haven't stopped laughing since. They lived together in NYC and have seen each other thru thick and thin. Jen is a true sister and best friend, and one of the smartest women Anne knows. Anne is thrilled to have Jen and her family with her and Blake on their big day.
Michael Pilato
Groomsman
Michael and Blake met their freshman year at Penn State, and immediately realized they were cut from the same cloth. A creative and inspired actor, Michael is one of the most giving and honest friends around. He recently got engaged to his awesome fiancé Allison, and loves his pooch Cú just like Blake loves Sherlock.
Darcy Ellsworth Yow
Bridesmaid
Darcy and Anne went to high school together in San Francisco, and had many hilarious ridiculous adventures together. Darcy is a true inspiration - she is a teacher, a mother, an activist, a humorist....and a wonderful friend still. Even though it embarrassed Darcy's twin girls, Anne is overjoyed to have Darcy as one of her bridesmaids. (Darcy did the beautiful calligraphy for our invitations!)
Joe Fedore
Groomsman
When Joe and Blake met at age 10, Blake didn't realize then that he was meeting his true soulmate best friend. Joe is Blake's brother, and John's twin. An amazing singer and musician, Joe is Blake's go-to musical collaborator and guru. Their childhood obsession with all things Star Wars has transitioned into a shared joy of story-telling and composing. Every time Blake has imagined this day, his brothers Joe and John were always at his side.
Desi Fedore
Bridesmaid
Desi is Blake's younger sister. She is a Nursing Assistant, and a mama to 3 furry felines. Desi is one of the most caring and compassionate - and funny - people Anne has met, and she is thrilled to have her as her new sister. Blake is honored and extremely touched to have Desi stand with them.
John Fedore
Groomsman
John is Blake's brother, and Joe's twin. He is a true shark in any and all card games. He loves Animé, video games, and his chihuahua Trixie. John has a subtle and brilliant wit, and a laugh to make everyone laugh along with him. He has a giant heart and is a wonderful and loyal brother. Every time Blake has imagined this day, his brothers Joe and John were always at his side.
Tim Booth
Officiant
Tim and Anne met long, long ago on a Greek Island....in a little show called "Mamma Mia!". For three years, they made their way across the country singing, dancing and laughing. "Grandma" and "Grandpa", as they have affectionally called themselves since they were in their 30s, have a deep admiration for anything absurdly funny, fabulous or delicious. Tim is a fantastic actor, a dad to 2 cats and a master renovator. (Seriously, you want to know how to do a Venetian plaster? Ask Tim) An extraordinary friend who has been with Anne through many of her greatest highs and darkest times, she is beyond honored and moved to have him marry her to her greatest love.
