Mike & Ashley
Wedding Party
Sara Bouffard
Maid of Honor
Sara and Ashley became best friends in 1st Grade. Over 25 years of friendship, they've shared countless LA Dodgers and LA Kings games together and have gone to Disneyland approximately 250 times together (rounding down of course). Sara is kindhearted, thoughtful, intentional, and endlessly loyal. Fun Fact: Sara was on a first name basis with her favorite band (BBMak)
Paul Harkins
Best Man
Paul joined Mike's community group three years ago and they became quick friends. They've always pushed each other to try new things - be it rock climbing, ocean swimming, or scary movies. Paul's friendship has been marked by deep conversation, great jokes, and delicious food. Fun fact: Paul does hot yoga daily. As expected, his water bottle never leaves his side. It has cool stickers.
Coralee Macías
Matron of Honor
Coralee and Ashley met in the Milton Hilton dorms of TCU 12 years ago. They became fast friends with weekly trips to Billy Bob's to go two-stepping and eventually became sorority sisters. They have been side by side for so many big moments throughout the years. Coralee is a great listener, offers the best advice, and has the biggest heart. She makes everyone around her feel seen, heard, and valued. Fun fact: Coralee has the cutest pup, Gouda! Check him out on instagram @goudathecheesetzu
Trey Wilson
Groomsman
Trey and Mike met at Redemption Church five years ago. They bonded over their love of hip-hop and basketball (Trey loves the Lakers, Mike loves the Magic - they both love Shaq). Trey has been a rock-solid friend through highs and lows. His defining characteristic as a friend is that he's down for whatever - whether it's an emo concert, Wild Rivers, or a movie night - Trey is always there. Fun fact: Trey used to be in an emo band and more recently in a folk band. He stays slappin' the bass.
Faith Brewer
Bridesmaid
Ashley and Faith met through Justin and have spent the past 6 years getting to know one another, growing their friendship, and wondering how they didn't ever bump into one another while they were both at TCU. Ashley was so excited to finally get a sister when Faith and Justin married in 2020. Faith offers great advice and is always quick to answer the phone for long chats. Faith is level-headed, compassionate, and servant-hearted. Fun fact: She's a triple threat - singer, actor, dancer.
Justin Brewer
Groomsman
Justin is one of Ashley's younger brothers and is one of the funniest people she has ever met. Ashley and Justin were lucky enough to attend TCU together. One of their favorite memories they have shared was driving from Fort Worth to St. Louis for a playoff baseball game. Mike appreciates that Justin is always warm, welcoming, and full of good advice. They have bonded over movies, music, and the New York Times crossword. Justin and Faith have been great to get to know and feel like they're right next door - even if they're living across the country. Fun fact: Justin is fluent in Aurebesh (a Star Wars language).
Kylie Brewer
Bridesmaid
Ashley and Kylie ran in similar circles while at TCU, but they officially met when Sean excitedly brought his new girlfriend home for Christmas. Ashley and Kylie have bonded over TCU life, running, working in healthcare, and baseball, though this is controversial because Kylie is a Giants fan. Kylie has been an amazing sister and friend that you can always count on to lighten the mood, lend a helping hand, and generously give of herself and her time. Fun fact: one of her life goals is to be on "Survivor." She's auditioned, so stay tuned!
Sean Brewer
Groomsman
Sean is Ashley's youngest brother and the biggest teddy bear, Seany Bear. Even though Sean is the baby of the family, he offers wisdom and advice well beyond his years. One of Ashley's favorite memories with Sean was traveling to Ohio and Pennsylvania to visit their cousin, Jason, to casually run the hilliest half marathon. When Mike first met Sean he thought Sean was too cool to be friends with him, but Mike quickly found out that he is very down to earth. Sean and Kylie have planted roots in Dallas and when Mike and Ashley went to visit they were treated to only the best - Tex-Mex, the Rangers, and Torchy's queso. Fun fact: Sean loves all things smoked - Scotch, BBQ, and his pickleball opponents.
Julie Nguyen
Bridesmaid
Julie is Mike's older sister and was Mike's first friend. Over the years, Mike and Julie have bonded over many long car rides for family vacations and Mike has always known that his sister will have his back. Since she's been so instrumental in Mike's life over the past 30 years, Ashley has wanted nothing more than to become close friends with Julie too. Julie and Ashley both share a love for Disney, boy bands, and the beach. Julie is hardworking and deeply loves her family. Fun fact: She knows all the words to the entirety of the Backstreet Boys' Millennium Album.
Paul Larez
Groomsman
Paul (aka Dr. Paul) and Mike were placed in the same community group primarily based on the fact they were free on Tuesdays. Since then, their Tuesdays have been filled with deep conversations, great cheese boards, and a lifetime of memories. Paul has attended USC and Baylor, and chose the latter to root for (Ashley has been willing to look past this transgression). Paul is a great friend because he will sit in the hard times and see it through. He's dependable, thoughtful, and always stylin'. Fun fact: If there's a sommelier for pizza, it's this guy. He has many strong opinions about specifically Neapolitan pizza.
Addison Tobia
Jr. Bridesmaid
Addison has known Uncle Mike her whole life. Mike has been fortunate enough to have a close relationship with his niece and has taught her how to whistle and play Minecraft. She's quickly gotten to know Ashley and they've bonded over Disney movies and popcorn nights. Whenever the three of them are together, catch them doing cannonballs, sledding, or doing crafts. Fun fact: When she grows up, she wants to have a Chinchilla farm.
Paige & Elliot Harter
Flower Girl and Ring Bearer
Paige and Elliot are a dynamic brother and sister duo that Ashley and Mike love spending time with. Mike and Ashley have cherished time in Arizona and never miss the opportunity to go to the beach or Disneyland with them when they come to California to visit. Mike and Elliot have understood their roles as third wheels because Ashley and Paige are always ride buddies, while Mike and Elliot have bonded over their love of trains (primarily ones at Disneyland). Fun Fact: Paige loves Unicorns, Elliot loves garbage trucks. Both are great modes of transportation.
August Brewer
Ring Bearer
August is the newest member of the Brewer family and our first nephew! He likes long walks through the park and strollin’ through the city. He is a native New Yorker and can’t wait to try his first bagel when he’s older! Fun fact: August was born in July, despite his name!
