Wedding Party

Caitlyn Brandon

Bride

Stephen Bogan

Groom

Julia Friberg

Maid of Honor

Julia and Caitlyn met in college when they were EMT's and RA's together. Julia was Caitlyn's roommate and co-pet-parent in DC for two years after graduating college. Fun fact: Julia once stained Caitlyn's pet bunny green by dropping guacamole on him.

Phillip Bogan

Best Man

Stephen's favorite brother and ping-pong opponent. Phillip and Stephen share many fond brotherly memories together including snowboarding during winters, jet skiing and boating, and building snow forts as kids.

Karissa Prayogo

Bridesmaid

Karissa and Caitlyn met in college and quickly turned from enemies to besties (why they started as enemies, who can even remember?) Over the years, they went from friends to roommates to cross-country friends to cross-Atlantic friends. Eventually, Karissa became the reason that Caitlyn finally learned what country Amsterdam is in (after arriving in the airport to visit her).

Luke Sekowski

Groomsman

Stephen's childhood friend and a uniquely talented Oboist. Also a friend of Caitlyn from their freshman year and the main catalyst for Stephen and Caitlyn meeting each other. Luke is a great friend and brings fun and whimsy to any situation.

Gretchen McCarthy

Bridesmaid

Gretchen and Caitlyn met the day they moved into college for pre-orientation and the rest is history. They have had countless pre-class First Bake breakfasts, hours bonding over TV shows and movies, and many other memories along the way between DC and their hometowns in Connecticut.

Ben Hunter

Groomsman

A dear friend of Stephen's who also completed the Westhill-to-NYC pipeline. Stephen and Ben bonded most after high school and discovered their mutual interests in trains and aircraft infrastructure. Ben is a great guy and can get a laugh out of anyone!

Georgia Payne

Bridesmaid

Georgia and Caitlyn met through being RA's and EMT's at college together. Georgia is a fellow lover of reading, pediatric nursing/medicine, and is always happy to allow Caitlyn to appropriate her West Virginia culture. The kitties love when Georgia comes over for a snuggly day of bingeing TV shows with them (and Caitlyn and Stephen).

Tabor French

Groomsman

Stephen and Tabor met on their freshman floor and bonded during their rush into the total real fraternity, PHAT. A total dude and Stephen's good friend after all these years. He rides bikes really well and likes math, too!

Sarah Brandon

Bridesmaid

Sarah and Caitlyn first met in 2019, and shortly afterward, they quarantined together for the pandemic in 2020. Sarah is Caitlyn's favorite sister-in-law and supplier of second-hand books to read. Sarah never complains (and is potentially even more excited about it than Caitlyn) when Caitlyn puts on a Harry Potter movie for the 1000th time, which earns her lots of points.

Adam Durand

Groomsman

Stephen and Adam became friends when they discovered a mutual love of nerdy strategic map-based video games. The life of the conversation and longtime friend of Stephen. A special guy with a million good ideas and deadly computer skills.
