Aubrey & Greg
Wedding Party
Chelsea Bendix
Maid of Honor
Chelsea is Aubrey's younger sister and Maid of Honor. Aubrey's first foray into filmmaking was with Chelsea as her muse. She usually dressed her in some sort of head handkerchief and jelly shoes and gave her names like Andrea, pronounced "And-ray-uh". Their finest work is probably an avant guard rendition of Joseph and the Amazing Technical Dreamcoat circa 1994, in which Aubrey played every lead role and Chelsea played every chorus member. They have always worked well together as a team, like when Aubrey pulled out Chelsea's two front teeth with a beach towel (a memory Aubrey has somehow forgotten in her adult years...). Chelsea is her rock, confidant, and protector. She is so thrilled to have her by her side in October. Ask her about: Literally anything that pertains to arts and crafts
Cam Dunbar
Best Man
From birth, Cam was relegated to the less-than-ideal role of test subject for all of his brother Greg's early creative endeavors... from non-union live performances to a barrage of unnecessary nicknames, Cam endured 14+ years on the bottom bunk bed. Since his time as a child actor, Cam has made a few brief appearances in Greg's work, but has mainly flourished as a public servant in more ways than you can count: firefighter, EMT, 911 dispatcher, health inspector, snow-plower, dog rescuer, and lawn mower, but most importantly, he will be serving as Greg's Best Man, a role that he is more suited for than anyone else on the planet.

Chris Cassetti
Bridesman
Chris Cassetti has known Aubrey for 14 years although neither can remember the day they actually met so we'll never really know. They 'think' they met in their Sophomore year at Ithaca and bonded over pretty much anything, particularly spontaneous Mac photoshoots, using household items for fashion, and anything relating to Friends. A highlight is when they learned Ross and Monica's New Year's Eve Routine, something they are hoping to perform at the wedding should Chris still be able to lift Aubrey. Although they have been bicoastal for most of their post college lives, they never go too long without a 3 hour phone call to discuss Chris's haircuts, Cher's West Side Story, their feelings on being adults, Lindsay Lohan's downfall etc. Ask him about: Diva roulette, casual green, pizza sisters
Cory West-Forbes
Groomsman
Despite appearing in some of Greg's early videos, Cory remains much more of an audio-collaborator through the years. Prior to their voices dropping, the duo recorded a radio show about their stuffed-animal frogs, which included a commercial for Just-For-Men Gel. They now thank the universe that the internet was still too primitive to upload at the time. Most notably, Copy and Greg created a "band" w/ fellow hometown homie Jon Verney, resulting in two albums of 4+ min instrumental beats (again, tfg there was no YouTube). Coy remains one of Greg's oldest friends, and while physical distance has separated them in recent years, it dun matter cuz they've been boys for too long.

Mackenzie Dohr
Bridesmaid
Mackenzie and Aubrey's love story started with a little a cappella group called Premium Blend. They especially bonded while on tour when Aubrey got them very lost in Philadelphia. Post graduation lead them both to LA, where they lived together for 6 years and became mothers to 2 cats. During this time they did a lot of weird things like attempting to start a YouTube channel in which Aubrey asked strangers questions, accidentally convincing their neighbors they were a couple during a power outage, and dismantling their own couch with rudimentary tools. They have been through A LOT of ups and downs together, and Aubrey feels so lucky to still have Kenz as such a huge part of her life. Their new dream is to work on a tv show or film together! Ask her about: Closet organization, WandaVision
Peter Duplissie-Johnson
Groomsman
Prior to their on-screen collaboration in Friday©, where Peter pulls up in a whip the same color as a V8 Splash©, the two spent years cooking up ideas for new things to do in their 900-person town, cooking up new sports (Trampleball© & Heaveball©) and cooking up Annies© Mac & Cheese. As one of Greg's closest lifelong neighbors, he couldn't be more excited to have Petp on the Groomsman roster. On the day of the wedding, Ptp will ensure all guests trap all day, play all night. Make sure to say HEEEEEEEEEE© CREDITS: Hoppe's Revenge (2004) - HIMSELF G.I.

Mandy Mamlet
Bridesmaid
Mandy and Aubrey met on a blind work date at Universal Pictures after Aubrey helped Mandy secure theater tickets for her boss to a show she can't remember now. The important part is that it was love at first sight and they continued to bond over the trials and tribulations of being Hollywood assistants, and have stayed friends long after leaving Uni. They also have the amazing ability to laugh at exactly the same things at exactly the same moment, a trait that has probably gotten them into trouble from time to time. They also spent many a Halloween together in their 20's, something that Aubrey may never live down as Mandy's former housemates almost exclusively remember her as a taco for reasons that won't be discussed here. Ask her about: Braising meat, Aubrey's personal shopping skills
Daniel Haack
Groomsman
Greg and Daniel met at the start of their creative careers at Ithaca College and the two became fast friends and frequent collaborators, most notably Daniel's titular role in the critical smash web series "Living with Daniel" which depicts him as a less-than-ideal roommate. The opposite remains true, however, as the duo lived together for 10 years across 4 cities in 6 apartments, and Greg somehow only managed to do the dishes twice. Over the last decade, Daniel's been there through countless pinnacle moments in Greg's life, and he couldn't be happier to have him there on the big day. CREDITS: Greg's First Freshman Film (2006) - POOR MAN Living With Daniel (1 Season) - DANIEL TikTok Videos (2 seasons) - GRANDPA DAN
Lauren Meader
Bridesmaid
Lauren and Aubrey started as acquaintances while working at Ithaca in the summer of '07. But after Aubrey busted her ankle falling down a flight of stairs Sophomore year, she called the only person on campus who had a car, and that lucky duck happened to be Lauren. They became fast friends, and Aubrey now trusts Lauren with her life as she is one of only a handful of people who is allowed to shove her into a dumbwaiter. They ended up roommates the next year, and have stayed close even after multiple moves to multiple states. Aubrey loves Lauren most because she laughs at all of her jokes, even the jokes that aren't supposed to be jokes. She is also the person who will fly to you and go paddle boarding and eat fried fish when you're feeling blue. Ask her about: Billie Jean song lyrics
Botti
Groomsman
James Botti made his on-screen debut as Greg's trusty steed in "The Quest", where he donned full reindeer garb including oven mitts on his hands and feet, and a Christmas pillow strapped to his face. Unfortunately, his flourishing acting career came to a tragic end after a powerful, 100mph (at least) bat-speed swing from Greg landed on the back of Botti's head. This event ultimately brought the duo closer together as they marched through high school throwing combined birthday parties and eating Spooner's parents' food. In 2017, Greg officiated the wedding of Botti and the incredible Madelyn Eaton, one of Greg's first friends. CREDITS: The Quest (2004) - VICIOUS REINDEER Billiard Time (2004) - PIED PIPER OF POOL All-In (2004) - ABEL ARENBERG Happenstance (2005) - HIMSELF
Emily Morris
Bridesmaid
Aubrey actually met Emily through her fiance Eric, when Eric had the unfortunate job of helping Aubrey 'train' for a half marathon. Emily and Aubrey quickly bonded because, to be frank, Emily just got Aubrey's weird. They grew even closer when they began following similar paths as film producers and now often call each other to discuss things like puppet frustrations, Canadian lake temperatures, barn burning, how best to quarantine in foreign countries, amongst other things. She is the best listener and a go-to when you need a really good vent, literally about anything. Aubrey would like Emily to acknowledge that being a part of the A team means she is agreeing to a lifelong commitment of therapizing... Ask her about: Raising chickens, TikTok
Spooner
Groomsman
Michael Spooner played the role of ‘Narrator’ in Greg’s two debut films: "The Quest" & “Billiard Time”, where he received rave reviews for his confident British accent. He returned as the same character in “All-In: A Tournament of Poker Stars”, a critically-panned spiritual sequel that has since been scrubbed from existence. He quickly adapted to a producorial role, lending Greg over $1000(!) for his first video camera at the ripe age of 17 (!!), before returning to the screen as a masked killer in Greg’s opus: Happenstance. Spooner, now a lawyer and father, will play the role of Groomsman and may don his infamous British inflection after enough beverages. CREDITS: The Quest (2004) - NARRATOR Billiard Time (2004) - NARRATOR All-In (2004) - NARRATOR Happenstance (2005) - MASKED KILLER
Hannah Ozer
Bridesmaid
Hannah and Aubrey met while training for a half marathon on the Universal Pictures lot. While this is not a pleasant memory for Aubrey as she generally hates running, they did in fact complete said half marathon. And by that point a friendship had bloomed, and it blossomed over the many years thanks in part to summer girl's trips (looking at you Vegas '13), Game of Thrones weekly viewings, weekend mani pedis, and the fact that Hannah has a spidey sense when it comes to giving you a ring out of the blue when you need it the most. Aubrey is now extra lucky that she and Hannah get to work together on a regular basis and whisper sweet nothings to each other in the middle of the week. Ask her about: Her obsession with Aubrey's arms, synchronized swimming
Mike Zakarian
Groomsman
Mike and Greg bonded over their on-stage performances, songs and dances at a high school summer camp. I know, you didn't realize Greg went to a theater camp every summer and well... he didn't. It's a Student Council camp, aptly titled MASC. While barely ever living in the same city, Mike remains Greg's most frequent collaborator, having tried Bachelor podcasts, sketch vids on NYC subways (narrowly skirting arrest) and, most notably, a weekly live show on TikTok, viewed and likely ridiculed by 250k+ Gen-Zers. Say hi when you see Mike, and ask about his presence within the #masc hashtag.

Kira Thompson
Bridesmaid
Aubrey and Kira shard a cubicle wall at Universal Pictures, which probably ended up being a headache for a lot of coworkers as people often mistake one for the other. In fact as Aubrey was trying to find a photo for this very website she herself got her own face confused with Kira's. As doppelgangers, they share a love for shopping and hair braiding, both of which they did while simultaneously assisting the people who ran a major motion picture studio...Kira was also Aubrey's drill sergeant while training for said half marathon (*see also Hannah Ozer), and put her inside a refrigerator box when Aubrey asked. She is the motivator of all motivators and one of the strongest people Aubrey knows (literally, girl works out). Ask her about: Whole Foods' clothing line, her favorite wines
Jon Mahon
Groomsman
Every Avengers©-style team needs someone with heart, and there's no individual on this list with more heart than Jon Mahon. While their on-screen collaborations were rare, Jon quickly became Greg's business confidant, idea generator and all-around mentor in both creative endeavors and general life. With the aforementioned MASC serving as their origin story, Jon and Greg's bromance has stretched across multiple cities, states and super hero franchises. His Paul Rudd vibes should carry his good looks well into his 70s, so don't be surprised to see more of him on the silver-screen in the decades to come. CREDITS: Harlem Shake (2013) - HIMSELF Various Snapchat Videos (5 seasons) - PAUL RUDD
Kelsey Wiener
Bridesmaid
While Kelsey also came into Aubrey's life by way of Universal, she's one of those people who makes you feel like you've known them your whole life. Early memories of their friendship often coincide with some sort of epic event, mostly due to the fact that Kelsey is an amazing group activity organizer, participant and rally kween. Whether it be volleyball games on the beach, a cute lil day drinking outing, or running a marathon (she did that, Aubrey cheered her on), she welcomes you with open arms, FUN, and sometimes a costume. A memory that Aubrey cherishes is sharing a hotel room with Kelsey and her now husband Matt at SXSW and then joining them and a van full of comedians to the only karaoke bar that was open at 2am in the morning... Ask her about: Her vegas piano skills, Bernedoodles
Zoe Baker
Flower Girl
Zoe is Aubrey's cousin Caitlin's daughter. While Chelsea was Aubrey's muse, it really all started with Caitlin at the helm of performances on video tape. There is an infamous Lake House interpretive dance to Seal's Kiss From A Rose that honestly should have been nominated for something. Aubrey and Greg are so excited to have the offspring of this creative genius as part of their ceremony. Zoe is the smartest 9 year old they know, an amazing older sister, and she loves the Descendants movies (who doesn't?!). Aubrey and Zoe most recently bonded over Hogwarts houses, it comes as no surprise that she is a Ravenclaw.
Taylor Zea
Bridesmaid
Taylor is yet another Uni sister for life (it was a legendary crew...). Aubrey feels extremely lucky to be included in any inner circle of Taylor's because being friends with her makes you feel like a badass. She rides a motorcycle and skis all the high peaks. She also makes brisket and homemade BBQ sauce and when you find out and stalk her she leaves it on her doorstep AND includes cornbread. Whether she knows this or not, Taylor has taught Aubrey the definition of 'go with the flow' and is someone she looks up to for her amazing ability to stay calm in almost every situation. Taylor is the friend you hope you're with if you find yourself in a real crises, and is also an amazing hype girl when you're really just a mediocre ukulele player. Ask her about: Tesla farts, professional popcorn
Theo Baker
Ring Bearer
Theo is Zoe's brother. He is five years old and likes Batman, tacos, and is very good at playing! When the idea of being the Ring 'Bear', as Theo puts it, was first proposed there was a lot of discussion about Batman vs. Bruce Wayne attire. Aubrey and Greg sincerely hope both will still be attending, Batman at the rehearsal, Bruce at the wedding. What an honor!
Nana
Officiant
Nana is Aubrey's Mom's Mom. She served as a pastor in the United Methodist Church for over 30 years. She taught Aubrey how to rollerblade, took her on hikes all over Upstate, NY and held the most epic easter egg hunt on earth. She also makes "Nana Rolls", which are basically a coveted form of currency between family members at this point. Aubrey and Greg are so blessed that she is able to officiate their ceremony!
