Sidney & Austin
Wedding Party
Kellie & David Butler
Parents of the Bride
Sidney Butler was born in Houston, TX only one month before her parents Kellie and David got married. She was there!! Being twentysomething parents they were crazy and fun but also super protective of everything she did. Yes, she could build forts in the middle of the living room but going to a friend's house for a pool party -- absolutely not! Sidney gets her beauty and intelligence from her mom and her loud mouth from her dad (HA!).
Vivian Pressley & David Harris
Parents of the Groom
Austin grew up in Willingboro, New Jersey under the watchful eye of Vivian Pressley and David Harris, a computer scientist/travel agent and lawyer respectively, as well as the former owners of a Rita's Water Ice franchise, where Austin spent a few summers working. They have always been intensely supportive of Austin's creative endeavors, and his entire career is built on the foundation of their faith. Austin gets his highly-critical taste in movies from Mom, and his not-yet-problematic love of candy from Dad.
Elaine McHenry
Maid of Honor
Elaine, Lani, LayLay is Sidney's first cousin and her first ride or die. From making fake reality tv shows and horror movies in the summer to now being both NYU grads -- they've come a long way! They both share an intense love of trashy reality tv, Hozier, Loki, the newest pop girlie, and how crazy their family is during the holidays. And they absolutely cannot believe they've made it to see one of them get married, grow up and start their lives as real adults.
Hunter Harris
Best Man
Austin enjoyed three years of being an only child before Hunter came along to steal attention. Even though Austin wanted a little sister, he moved past his anger after a few weeks and since then, the two have been friends. Hunter was the star of Austin's first movies, and is the only person on Earth who can keep up with Austin's thirst for roller coasters. One of Austin's fondest memories is he and Hunter stayed at Islands of Adventure after their parents went back to the hotel, to ride rides until the park closed.
Alexa Sims
Bridesmaid
Alexa and Sidney have been cousins, friends, sisters since 1996. Only 10 months apart they would constantly gab about their love for Bow Wow (HA!), the newest Disney Channel Show, and argue over which one would be Beyoncé during Destiny Child karaoke. Now, 28 years later, having both seen each other get boyfriends, go to college, move away from home, travel to Europe, Sidney feels so blessed that Alexa can be her bridesmaid.
Ton Do-Nguyen
Groomsman
Austin and Ton met working together on an NYU student film. Austin loved Ton's personality so much (who doesn't), that he asked Ton to crew on his NYU thesis film before he'd even decided what job Ton would be doing. Ton edited the film to perfection, and by at the end of that process, even though they'd known each other less than a year, they felt like they'd been friends forever. Nothing beats sharing a laugh with Ton, so try to get you one at the wedding.
Mattison Sims
Bridesmaid
Mattison (Mat-Mat) Sims is Sidney's cousin and sister from another mister. Mattison has been running things since she was four years old. She keeps Sidney and everyone in check and has us always leading with kindness. Nothing gets past Mat Mat. Having seen each other grow up through the years there's nothing more than Sidney wanted than Mattison by her side at her wedding.
Mikey Levitt
Groomsman
Even though Mikey and Austin went to NYU together, they didn't meet until years later after they'd both moved to LA. All it took was a trip to Disneyland and a hangout on Mikey's roof for them to realize they should've been friends a long time ago. Austin loves and fears Mikey's sense of humor, which has garnered him over twenty-thousand followers on TikTok. Austin loves Mikey's impressions, even if Austin was shocked and appalled when he discovered Mikey did an (accurate) impression of him.
Alexis Butler
Bridesmaid
Alexis Butler is Sidney's cousin on her dad's side (hence the last name!). Alexis is one of the funniest people on the planet. She could have had her own Disney Channel show in 2008. She's a ride or die and will always have your back. Find her at the reception and she will give you the tea (on ANYTHING). Sidney's so happy that Alexis is able to be by her side at her wedding.
David Butler Jr.
Groomsman
Austin and Dave met for the first time when Austin made a fateful visit to Folsom, California to "meet the family." Then, in 2020, they lived under the same roof when Austin moved in with the Butlers during the pandemic. That was when Austin became fully aware of Dave's dangerous combination of kindness, wit, and intellect. Never enter a roast battle with Dave, or attempt to have a surface-level conversation. You two will end up pontificating on the state of the universe.
