Wedding Party
Amy Rath
Maid of Honor
Amy has been a lifeline for Bree as she learned to navigate her 30's in a new state. Although their friendship blossomed later in life, the connection these two have is unmistakable. They have both pursued a career in construction and millwork and continue to support and cheer each other on, even after parting to different companies. They both share an interest in a great day outdoors, their faith, and their uncanny ability to say the same thing at the same time.
Max Landry
Groomsman
Craig met Max in middle school yet the two became close as their two passions crossed: Craig’s love of videography, and Max’s love of music production and performance. The two recorded award winning music videos in high school, worked together in their high school’s broadcast news program, and sang together in choir (until Craig’s voice changed and lost interest). Max has followed his passion for music production across the United States over the years. Graduating from the Berkley College of Music with a focus on vocal performance, Max found his way from Boston, Michigan, and New York City to Los Angles where he now lives and produces music under a label for his own group, Goldtooth, and other artists on the label.
Cheree Sosin
Bridesmaid
Cheree and Bree met in 2003 when Holly brought her over to Bree's house one day. They did not always get along, both being outspoken and not afraid of confrontation. The two of them had a lot of classes together throughout high school and moved out into an apartment together after graduation. Cheree is Bree's home away from home and has been there through the worst and best of times. These two have come a long way from singing Satisfaction in a truck full of annoyed people and running to Long Beach when Fresno was suffocating to being a part of each other's weddings and big girl job changes. Cheree is a mother of two boys and is always ready to host any event that gets thrown her way.
Brad Cullen
Groomsman
Craig and Brad met while playing hockey in middle school, became close friends in early high school, and have stayed close as life has displaced them across the country. Craig and Brad share a love (some call it an addiction) to golf and a more recent appreciation of bourbon. Brad lives with his wife, Jen, in Canton, Michigan with their two dogs, Birdie and Bogey (maybe there is a golf addiction). Brad has worked in leadership positions in large companies like Kohls, Dominos, and Firehouse. Brad and Jen operate an ever growing portfolio of rental properties in the metro Detroit area.
Holly Torres
Bridesmaid
One of Bree's oldest friendships, these two met in 2002 and have not stopped supporting each other since. They spent a lot of their days riding horses, ordering lunch off campus during summer school, going to so many formals and proms Bree's lost count, and Holly helped Bree find her way when she transferred schools her freshman year. From golfing to book recommendations, Holly and Bree are always looking for ways to connect with each other, even states apart. Holly is a proud mother of 4 and an active member in her church and community. There isn't a freshman memory that Bree doesn't have Holly in, and every other life event since.
Chris Renwick
Groomsman
There is no start to Craig and Chris’s friendship. The two have always found themselves aligned in friend groups and interests. Both found passion in their high school’s broadcast news program. Chris gravitated towards the radio broadcast side of the program, an interest that has grown into his career. Chris has held many distinguished radio show roles over the years and now hosts multiple shows on 760 WJR Detroit. Chris lives in South Lyon, Michigan with his wife, Stephanie, and his two sons, Jacob and Henry.
Farrin Hurd
Bridesmaid
The most outgoing of her friends, Farrin is one to keep you out on the dance floor. She and Bree met in 2004 and bonded over not being from the town we went to school in. If her laugh and intellect don't pull you in, her interest in conspiracies certainly will! Farrin is a new mother and could benefit from a night of fun, so we're counting on you to not disappoint!
John Martin
Groomsman
Six-time Emmy winner John met Craig back in 2013 at Fox Sports working in virtual production. They have bonded over their love of vinyl collecting, music, bourbon, golf, and a good time. John currently holds the Commerce Classic scramble title and spends his downtime with his wife, vinyl hunting, arbitraging, golfing, and saying yes to what life has to offer.
Alex Hoyt
Bridesmaid
Unofficially a sister, Alex and Bree have been close since day one. They met in journalism class in 2004 and have been causing trouble since. These two lived together for a while while Bree was in high school and spent more than a few nights out in places they shouldn't have been. Alex was there for Bree's first real crush and will be there when she says I do to the love of her life and we can't imagine it any other way. Although we suspect that she has converted to Mormonism, she still is the fun loving, sweet, sarcastic, and loyal friend she's always been. Alex is a loving mother of 5, an active member of her church, and constantly at the soccer fields with her kids and husband.
Jon Chupinsky
Groomsman
Craig did not get to choose his brother nor did they get along well growing up. Prime example: Craig hit his brother in the face with a rock one summer (sorry). Since then, Craig has grown to realize Jon is the most caring, thoughtful, and genuine person he knows and is proud to have him as a brother. Jon lives in Whitmore Lake, Michigan with his two dogs, Odie and Oscar. From an early age, Jon gravitated towards computers, and although gaming was his focus, he had a natural talent for understanding the deep inner workings of technology (he will forever be my parents’ personal IT employee). Craig has fond memories of building and modifying computers with Jon and the many technical and nerdy conversations over the years. Jon has held positions centered around IT with his current position at Comerica Bank.
April Rodriguez
Bridesmaid
Helen Harris could never! April and Bree met while working together in 2017 for easily the worst company ever. Through work trauma, too many back and forth trips between offices, and memes, they created a bond that moved outside of the office and into their weekends. From Taco Truck Throwdowns and impromptu trips to the beach, to movie nights and music fests, these two never let too-dark eyebrows ruin their night. In April's spare time, she enjoys live music, spending time with her two daughters, working out, hiking, and experiencing new things with great people. If you hear the two of them laughing, it wasn't them, it was Patricia.
Andy Zinsmeister
Groomsman
Craig also did not get to choose his brother-in-law… that was obviously Erin's job. Good job, Erin! Andy is not just a great husband to Erin, he has been a perfect fit to the crazy Chupinsky family from day one. Erin and Andy met during a national tour of Cats. Their shared love of musical theater and mutual drive to stay active and explore nature has led them on many adventures over their 16 years together (dang, that’s almost half of Craig’s life). Andy and Erin moved out of the big city of Brooklyn and bought a fixer-upper in the outskirts of metro NYC with their dogs Mooncalf and Toothless. With Andy’s positive energy and kid-at-heart demeanor, there’s never a dull moment when he’s around.
