Brett & Sophie
Wedding Party
Tommy Danielsen
Best Man
Tommy is Brett's prestigious husband of honor. They met in maybe 4th grade. Tommy has little recollection of their childhood pastimes but it for sure included 10ish years of organized sports, elementary & middle school, and late night COD seshes. Brett went to Chapman without seeing the campus because Tommy was going. They did fraternity stuff, took classes together and, though separated by distance, see one another on a semi-regular basis where they continue to share laughs, commiserate on the pain and suffering that life tirelessly brings and watch sports.
Chandler Franklin
Maid of Honor
Chandler is Sophie's Maid of Honor and best friend. They met in high school and quickly became inseparable...partially because Chandler didn't have her license so Sophie had to drive her around everywhere. Favorite pastimes include eating Little Caesar's Pizza before dance team, going to the beach, laying out on Chandler's trampoline, and generally just doing everything together. They call each other soul friends because they truly feel they were meant to be in each other's lives forever. <3
Nick Boysaw
Man of Honor
Sophie met Nick in 7th grade, where they quickly bonded over their love of pop music (particularly Lady Gaga), and they've been inseparable ever since. Considering they always attended school dances as dates, there was no question Nick would be standing by Sophie's side as her Man of Honor. Lately, you can find these two watching Real Housewives, eating Mexican food, and falling asleep at bars. :)
Adrienne Jackson-Stein
Bridesmaid
Adrienne and Sophie are also cousins and besties! Being 3 years older than Sophie, she always considered her an older sister. They share a love of movies, Disney, and all things drama. You can often find these two hanging out by the pool, at the movies, or shopping. Adrienne is also helping plan the wedding!
Andrew Holman
Groomsman
Childhood Friend
Brandon Galland
Groomsman
Master of the Irish goodbye, Brandon will go out of his way to zig when everyone zags. A walking contradiction, you can always count on him to see other perspectives. Brandon has only been caught smiling in public 2 times. He hopes he won't get his 3rd strike.
Elisabeth Montanaro
Bridesmaid
Sophie and Lis met in college because their boyfriends were roommates... and the rest is history! The pair really became besties during quarantine when they started doing FaceTime workouts, playing Splatoon and Mario Party (Koopa Troopa and Yoshi 4-Ever), and commiserating over being unemployed. Both growing up as dancers and performers, these two are usually loud, sometimes rowdy, and always ready for tequila shots, Taco Bell, and Love Island.
Erick Ngo
Groomsman
Childhood Friend. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.
Erik Wing
Groomsman
Childhood Friend
Justin Giger
Groomsman
Justin and Brett met 23 years ago back in Kindergarten. The mutual love of sports, competition, and board games were a natural fit. You can always count on Brett convincing Justin to a six-hour Monopoly or Risk game (although Brett cheats and brings weighted dice). Despite Justin moving to the sticks in middle school, they have remained close through the years.
Jamis Moy
Groomsman
Childhood Friend
Jeff Ranson
Groomsman
Jeff first met Brett as a fellow Chapman resident of Henley Hall and quickly hit it off with hilarious meal times in the Caf and skateboarding down the parking garage. After a few years they became roommates for their senior year along with the other Palmyra boys and made lifelong memories with late night walks to Paul's on Thursdays and many game nights. Their friendship continues to this day, while distance separates them they continue to connect for games regularly and with yearly trips reuniting the Palmyra house crew.
Jordan Cahill
Bridesmaid
Jordan and Sophie were in the same sorority, Kappa Alpha Theta, at Chapman University, but their friendship really formed when they became roommates senior year. You could always count on Jordan and Sophie to dance at pregames, and spend too many hours choreographing / participating in Greek Life performances. These two share a love of family, working out together, making weird jokes, and just being goofballs. <3
Katy Sartain
Bridesmaid
Katy and Sophie currently work together and formed a friendship quickly. It was truly love at first zoom. These kindred spirits love to giggle and do girly things, dissect anything and everything related to true crime and reality television, and will definitely be performing Hilary Duff and Christy Carlson Romano's epic routine from the iconic DCOM, Cadet Kelly, at the wedding.
Kevin Monahan
Groomsman
Childhood Friend
Kristee Vetter
Bridesmaid
Kristee and Sophie were (you guessed it), in the same sorority at Chapman, but really became close when Sophie moved in with her and Sierra junior year. They immediately bonded over their shared dry sense of humor, Super Mario Galaxy, and going to Albertacos after every night out. These two are always laughing and making the most out of every situation. A good example of this is when they willingly went to see Ice Age 3D at the New York Central Park Zoo. They were the only adults without children there. :)
Maria Bowdon
Bridesmaid
Maria and Sophie are cousins and besties! Only 11 months apart, these two were attached at the hip growing up, always making up dance routines in the basement and dressing up as alter-egos Mr. Bob and Mr. Tom. Not much has changed in their adult years... Maria and Sophie love to dish about reality television together (especially The Bachelor), drink margaritas, and send each other too many Tik Toks.
Michael Naoumovitch
Groomsman
Michael Naoumovitch met Brett during freshman year at Chapman. They were acquaintances their first year and barely talked to each other. It wasn’t until sophomore year that they became pals. Mr. Naoumovitch is a free market capitalist and enjoys hearing Brett’s perspectives on socialism/democratic socialism. Mr. Naoumovitch also approves of Sophie.
Nelson Gould
Groomsman
Nelson and Brett met in college, and shared many a beautiful night together as bunk mates junior and senior year. Their love has continued to flourish through the years through good old fashioned hangs, game nights, work, and local theater.
Olivia Denuit
Bridesmaid
Olivia was Sophie's very first friend at Chapman University. They were in the same orientation group, and after an interesting first time hanging out... Sophie knew Olivia was going to be her friend for life. They love to eat Taco Bell and play Animal Crossing together, watch Bob's Burgers, go out on the town, eat at Islands and go on movie dates, and find new places to explore.
Orly Shapiro
Bridesmaid
Orly and Sophie are both Leo's which should basically explain everything. They met through their sorority (shocking!!!), but their bond solidified over their love shopping, yoga, sushi, and being dramatic af. You can often find these two cuddling on the couch, watching Selling Sunset, taking trips together, and reminding everyone that they're Leo's and the loves of each other's lives.
Ryan McLean
Bridesman
Sophie and Ryan met while working together in Los Angeles, and instantly connected over their shared love of pretty much... everything. These two chat every day, and are always finding something to laugh about. You can usually find the pair out on town together, going to see musicals, encouraging each other to spend too much money... and sending each other long voice memos about their days.
Sammy Gonzalez
Groomsman
Childhood Friend
Scott Galland
Groomsman
Older Brother
Sierra Green
Bridesmaid
Sierra and Sophie first met in tap class...and the first impressions were not the best (good thing they were wrong)!! Shortly after this, they started forming what would become a beautiful friendship. They lived together Sophie's junior year, and the two became inseparable. These two love taking girls trips, talking for hours on end, going to trivia nights, and watching Outlander with their best friend Kristee. They share a love of theatre, cats, and spontaneous adventures. :)
