Wedding Party

Maddie Neubert

Maid of Honor

Di’s best friend turned soul sister, thanks to a Facebook housing meet-cute in San Francisco. They spent four years as roommates navigating their twenties. Maddie had a front-row seat to Di and Ben’s love story as it unfolded (pandemic style) with endless game nights and only seeing each other. She’s Di’s everyday confidant, the best auntie to Callie Cat, and always down to giggle over a cocktail, binge a young adult show, make a TikTok, or dominate game night. And just to prove how deep the bond runs: Di once got Maddie to face her fear of eating strawberries.

Rishabh Hegde

Best Man

Ben met Rishabh freshman year of college, on UCLA's infamous Hedrick 7-South floor. In San Francisco, Rishabh became a treasured member of the Broderick Boy's Club, sharing a wall with Ben for years. The two have played many games of basketball and drank many beers, watching football and shilling Bitcoin.

Emily Brown

Maid of Honor

Emily is Di’s college best friend and soul sister, the reason college was as fun and delightfully chaotic as it was. They’ve been through everything together and somehow always found the joy, the laughter, and the perfectly unhinged antics along the way. From cooking up questionable creations in the sorority house to a summer abroad in Ireland, they’ve collected enough memories to last forever. Even now, with miles between them, they make up for it with five-hour marathon phone calls and trips that somehow feel like no time has passed at all. Emily even has video proof of the time they were almost trampled by sheep in Ireland.

Tyler Phillips

Best Man

Ben and Tyler became friends freshman year of college, both working together as fraternity social chairs. Over the years, they become good friends, started a consulting club together, and moved from LA to San Francisco together. A member of the Broderick Boys Club, Ben and Tyler evolved into great friends, took many trips across the world, and have had countless laughs.

Diana Pollock

Bridesmaid

Di’s future sister-in-law! Diana is the life of the party, the one who always orders the shots (consider this your warning), with a contagious giggle, a hot take for every moment, and a way of showing up for the people she loves in a big way. On family trips, she and Di have been known to match outfits by accident, stay up until 4am laughing until they cry, and team up to tell Chris to put down the overpriced clothing. Di's so happy to have Diana now officially be family for life. After all, the Pollock rule is simple: the only women you ever bring home are amazing girls named Diana you’re going to marry.

Alex Pollock

Groomsman

Ben and Alex became friends when Ben was just a baby. From going to playing basketball as a kid, to going to UCLA, to ultimately marrying a girl named Diana... Ben has always been fond of copying Alex. He is his brother, after all. The two enjoy watching sports, playing fantasy football, and getting overly competitive in board games on family trips.

Andreja Posedel

Bridesmaid

When Di was 14, Andreja married her brother Steven and has been family ever since. She’s the go-to for life wisdom, travel tips, and niche factoids that always surprise you. Fierce, brilliant, and impossible to beat at trivia, she shows up for the people she loves in big and small ways, whether it’s supporting Di while she digs through the trash on Christmas to find a lost earring, reminding Di and Steven how loud we can be, or convincing everyone to stay on the porch for one more beer. She may have married Steven, but she stole Di’s heart too. And the best live show she’s ever seen? Pink. Ask her about it.

Steven Ball

Groomsman

Ben and Steven met in 2020, when Ben and Diana first started dating. As Diana's brother, Steven has always treated Ben like family, showing him around Las Vegas, Italy, and Slovenia. A fierce competitor of Settler's of Catan and excellent cinnamon roll baker, Ben always enjoys Steven's company.

Brendan Weaver

Bridesman

Di’s best friend since middle school and a true ride or die through every awkward phase, hallway hang, and school play. From dance battling the rival theatre group at Waffle House (true story), to throwing teen parties, they’ve been laughing their way through life ever since. They were also COMPLETELY ROBBED of homecoming court and have never forgotten it. These days, you can find them catching up until 4 a.m. in New York, giggling about everything and nothing. Di feels so lucky to have him by her side on this day.

Chris Pollock

Groomsman

Chris and Ben met in Illinois in 1995, when Ben was born. Beyond being Ben's older brother, Chris has been a reliable, good friend over the years. The two have shared many music festivals, espresso martinis, and family vacations. Chris always rolls in style, and helps Ben upgrade his.

Allie Gonsalves

Bridesmaid

Di’s sister bestie who traded San Francisco fog for LA sunshine. Fierce, funny, and forever entertaining (she truly missed her calling in theatre), Allie has a way of turning even the simplest moments into something fabulous. She and Di have a highlight reel of memories making their elite buffalo chicken dip, running around Disneyland, and of course the iconic moment when Harry Styles locked eyes with both of them. A constant source of laughter, Allie brings the vibes and the style to everything from Coachella to cozy book club retreats. She’s the best storyteller and always has a new one ready so make sure you ask her what her latest is.

Willem Van Den Bosch

Groomsman

Willem and Ben met in San Francisco, when he moved into the Broderick Boy's Club. They quickly became good friends, spending many hours laughing over ridiculous investment ideas, memes, and Ben's cat Leia's obsession with Willem and a plant in his room. Over the years, Ben and Willem have stayed good friends, and continue to play poker and have lots of laughs.

Davis Weaver

Bridesman

Di’s other best friend from middle school and beyond. They spent years together in school plays, most iconically starring as Leading Player and Pippin... dark. Unlike Di and Brendan, Davis was not robbed of homecoming court. He’s now a professional man of the theatre, but that didn’t stop him from cheating off Di’s music theory tests in high school. After college, they both moved to California and found home in each other during those early years. Now that Davis is a star in London, their reunions usually involve a pint, singing, and laughing until they cry over something ridiculous one of them did.

Austin Harcarik

Groomsman

Austin and Ben met sophomore year of high school, when Austin challenged Ben to a game of 1 on 1 basketball. From there, they became great friends over many trips to 7/11, and countless days and nights running the high school student government. Post-grad, the two stayed close over music, sports, and a large amount of COVID era Call of Duty games.

Guntas Padda

Bridesmaid

When Di met Guntas, she was told she'd never meet another one, and she hasn’t. They’ve traveled the world together to Hawaii, Greece, Italy, Tahoe, and beyond, and have also been two-time down-the-street neighbors in San Francisco. Whether they’re walking and talking, trying a new restaurant, or pulling off a practical joke (watch yo' selves!), time with Guntas is always grounding and full of laughter. She gives the best advice and always knows how to show up. Di is so grateful to have her by her side on this day.

Daniel Coolidge

Groomsman

Ben and Daniel became friends at UCLA, meeting through mutual friends. Tyler and Dan convinced Ben to join their consulting club, which quickly took off and became a bonding point. Daniel lived in the Broderick Boys Club, and is known as "White Peppa", for his skills as the Broderick house chef. Ben and Dan have spent many hours laughing and discussing current events.

Zane Homsi

Officiant
