Bryn & Sean
Wedding Party
Megan Westervelt
Woman of Honor
Megan, or "Megal", holds the honorable title of being Bryn's oldest friend! Their indelible connection dates back to the 2nd grade, and now, 24 years later, they are still going strong! From Colorado adventures at a ranger cabin in the Saguache Mountains, to navigating Barcelona as naive 17-year-olds, to swimming with sea turtles in the Galapagos, their friendship has always been one of unwavering mutual support and a shared passion for travel and adventure! Megan has the uncanny ability to bring out the goofiest aspects of Bryn's personality! Their time together has that rare quality of feeling completely yourself with another human being.
KC Harpring
Best Man
K.C. and Sean met as fellow refugees of the first law firm they both worked for in Denver. Now they're two of the three partners in their own firm with their friend Natalie. (K.C. jokes that he can give Bryn plenty of advice about being "married" to Sean after two years as business partners). Outside of work, K.C. and Sean have traveled, climbed, skied, hiked, surfed, played music, and done just about everything else they enjoy together. K.C. helps balance out Sean's tendency to be a little too... high energy. And we all know Sean needs all the help he can get in that category!
Kelly Miller
Woman of Honor
Bryn and Kelly, or "Kelkitos" have been practically inseparable since high school back in Durango, Colorado! They originally bonded over a mutual love of theatre: playing, laughing, and growing together within the four walls of Durango High School's Theatre Troupe 1096. This magical world was the catalyst for many belly aching laughs, overly dramatic high school woes (ask them about "The Utter Despair Club"), and the best inside jokes you could ever imagine. Though life has separated them geographically over the years, bringing Kelly first to California, then Italy, and now NYC, their bond has remained indestructible! They love catching up at least weekly with lengthly phone calls called "chatitas!"
Taylor Widmann
Groomsman
Taylor and Sean met in in their neighborhood back in middle school and became fast friends. Sean and Taylor were widely regarded as the coolest kids in their school -- a reputation they earned by faking skateboarding action shots by jumping off rocks with the wheels removed from their skateboard decks. Or by staying up all night together to write a note from Sean to the girl he was too afraid to talk to. Sean and Taylor stayed friends through high school and college, through to today. Sean describes Taylor as one of the kindest people he knows.
Sara McClellan
Bridesmaid
Bryn and Sara met in their very first days of college at Brown University where they shared a suite! Maybe a week had passed at Brown when Bryn and Sara were out with a group of people and Bryn proclaimed that she missed hugging people; so did Sara! They shared their first hug and the rest is history! Bryn and Sara went on to live together for 5 years at Brown, including during Bryn's first year of medical school and during Sara's masters degree. Until Sara's husband Kevin and then Sean came into their lives, they hadn't lived with anyone else as long outside of their immediate families!
Jeff Shi
Groomsman
Where do we begin with Jeff? Jeff recently turned down a role in a well-known Dos Equis ad campaign -- it wasn't interesting enough to match his other endeavors. When Sean met Jeff in middle school (or early high school) when he moved into the neighborhood, Jeff was already importing fine wine from Italy and rare Spanish olive oils. Jeff has bought, personally remodeled (designed, built, AND furnished) at least two previously-blighted properties. Jeff is an architect, a sommelier, an auto mechanic, and one of the most inspiring people Sean knows. Despite his (insanely) busy life, Jeff always finds time for old friends (probably by just not sleeping), and often revitalizes Sean and Bryn's parties just before they prematurely wind down.
Jessica Graham
Bridesmaid
Bryn and Jess met in 2013 when they started their residency together at the Children's Hospital of Colorado! They bonded their intern year, and their friendship really became solidified when they became rock climbing buddies and then helped support each other through some nasty breakups! Nothing like a good girlfriend to make you realize how lucky you are in life! Since then, they've shared tons of fun memories: like backpacking to Conundrum Hot Springs, jamming out at an Ingrid Michaelson concert, and most importantly Bryn officiating Jess's wedding to her amazing husband Jeff last summer!
Ross Dormer
Groomsman
Ross and Sean met on March 26, 1990. Then-two-years-old Sean got in the car with his parents (Bob and Lisa) and headed to Rose Medical Center in Denver, Colorado. A few hours after arriving, Sean remembers his dad bringing him into a darkened hospital room, turning on the light to reveal a BRAND NEW BIG WHEEL TRIKE on the bed/table, and describing it as "a present from your new brother!" 28 years later, Sean has yet to repay Ross with such an awesome gift. Sean regrets this very much. Ross is an advertiser-turned-horticulturist. He continues to inspire creativity in everyone around him, including his older brother, Sean.
Courtney Byrneheim
Bridesmaid
Courtney was an honorary roommate of Bryn and Sara's at Brown freshman year! She lived just down the hall, and became a beloved friend quickly. They lived together for several years at their Providence home 204 Power Street, where Courtney was known to frequently fall asleep while piled on the couch cuddling with Bryn, Sara, and Caitlin! Bryn loves Courtney's infectious warmth and positivity and her seemingly limitless ability to meet and love new people! Bryn and Courtney share a passion for singing Taylor Swift at the top of their lungs!
Mark Thomas
Groomsman
Mark and Sean met as housemates in Berkeley. Mark taught Sean a little bit about how to safely climb and ski some of the minor peaks around Lake Tahoe, how to keep it together when a daytime rock climbing route takes all night, and how to keep in touch with an old friend no matter how long it's been. Mark is a structural engineer, and makes no warranty as to the structural integrity of the wedding tent.
Caitlin Ashley Rollman
Bridesmaid
Caitlin and Bryn were roomies at Brown as well! At the home they shared with Courtney, Sara, and the rest of their 204 Power crew, they shared lots of laughs, late study nights, and amazing dessert (mostly cooked by Caitlin and her now husband Cameron)! Caitlin is single handedly responsible for Bryn passing a dreaded physics course mandatory for her pre-med requirements. Get Caitlin and Bryn together on a dance floor and it's sure to be a wild party! Bryn had the great honor of serving as the officiant for Caitlin and Cameron's wedding in Kauai, Hawaii in 2016.
James Prager
Groomsman
James and Sean first met by talking politics on the bus to their middle school. As they say, "nothing brings people together like politics," and these two have been friends ever since. James' and Sean's relationship was solidified most by sharing a bank account (and apartment) during grad school. Being the responsible members of society that they were, James and Sean always paid rent and utilities on time and threw really good parties. James decided to leave traditional engineering after graduation, and now lives in New York City, where he makes sure banks follow the rules.
Layla Widmann
Flower Girl
Darling Layla is the beautiful little daughter of groomsman Taylor, one of Sean's oldest friends!
Noah McClellan
Ring Bearer
Sweet Noah is the adorable son of bridesmaid Sara, Bryn's best friend from college!
Molly Hackett
Officiant
The lovely and talented Molly, Sean's sister, will surely delight us all with a beautiful ceremony! She has spent the last year studying in Belgium on a Fulbright Scholarship and exploring Europe so be sure to ask her about her favorite memories and travel recommendations!
Jane
Flower Dog
We couldn't get married without the help of our beloved girl Jane! She will I'm sure enjoy her moment in the spotlight trotting down the aisle!
