Charles & Leopoldo
Wedding Party
Kyle Szarzynski
Best Man
Charles’s Wedding Party Kyle and I have a friendship that's spanned for over a decade! We first met during a production of The Rocky Horror Show. I was Frank-N-Furter and Kyle one of the demented twins. During the production, we quickly became very close friends. Right after the production we became roommates, I always appreciate Kyle putting up with my shenanigans during that time and still today! Kyle is one of my best friends and we talk pretty much every single day! He is the person who I can confide in and is always there when you need a shoulder to cry on, someone to listen to me complain and ramble or just a friend to hang out with and do nothing. I’m so honored that he’s my best friend and that he agreed to stand up next to me as part of my wedding party! Kyle is passionate about theatre, enjoys exploring local breweries, watching A LOT of TV, and loves spending time with his boyfriend, Bo, and Bo’s dog, Paco.
Angela Tran
Best Woman
Leo's Wedding Party Angela and I met back in 2017. She is the kind of person who makes an impression from the moment you meet her. She’s bold, fearless, and has this magnetic energy that draws people in. From the start, it was clear she lived life with intention—chasing her goals, speaking her mind, and never shying away from a challenge (or a night out with friends). She’s someone who leads with heart and holds the people she cares about incredibly close. Loyal, protective, and deeply thoughtful, Angela shows up—consistently and completely. She has a way of lifting up those around her, whether it's through laughter, honesty, or simply being there when it matters most. Her strength, loyalty, and unapologetic authenticity inspire me constantly. I’m so lucky to have her in my life and even more grateful that she’s standing beside me as my maid of honor.
Brody Meinke
Groomsman
Charles’s Wedding Party Brody and I have been friends for over a decade as well! We first met during a production of The Rocky Horror Show. Charles was Frank-N-Furter and Brody was Riff Raff. Brody got to strut his stuff and show off his amazing singing chops! Since then, we’ve shared countless memories—especially at concerts, game nights and nights out! Brody is one of my best friends! He shares my dry sense of humor. He is always down to sit and complain, gossip and listen. Brody has such a kind heart and always is there when you need him! I’m honored that he is one of my best friends and agreed without hesitation to be part of wedding party! Brody is a true enthusiast of theatre and music (with a special love for European bands) and enjoys relaxing with re-runs of his favorite TV shows, reality tv and many YouTube music videos.
Jackie Tapia
Groomswoman
Leo's Wedding Party Jackie is the kind of person who brings honesty, strength, and a sharp sense of humor into every room she walks into. She’s never afraid to speak her mind—especially when it’s for the good of someone she cares about—and she has a rare gift for saying exactly what you need to hear, whether it’s a tough truth or a much-needed boost. She’s driven, creative, and always thinking outside the box. Jackie sees the world through a unique lens, and she’s not afraid to challenge the norm or question the expected. Her ability to stay grounded while encouraging others to rise is something I deeply admire. She’s someone who values authenticity, holds herself and others to high standards, and isn’t afraid to laugh at life—or herself. I’ve learned so much just by being around her, and I’m so glad to have her standing by me on such an important day.
Bohdan Chaffee
Groomsman
Charles’s Wedding Party Bo and I have known each other for several years, ever since Bo and Kyle first started dating. Bo fought his way through our tough outer shells to become one of the “gays” (our friend group). Bo’s always the one to bring energy to any situation, ready for anything the group throws his way! Bo is such a kind soul! He’s become such a great friend and I am so happy to know that Kyle has found someone as special as him. I’m honored that he is part of my friend group and that he agreed to stand with me as on of my closest friends and as part of wedding party! Bo is a talented artist and musician, playing a variety of instruments, and when he’s not making art and music or playing games, you’ll find him enjoying time with his boyfriend Kyle and his dog, Paco.
Yengsuab Her
Groomswoman
Leo's Wedding Party I met Yengsuab through Angela, and it didn’t take long to understand why the two of them are so close. When Yengsuab sets her mind to something, there’s no stopping her. She’s driven, focused, and always shows up with purpose. At the same time, she has a kind heart and a deep sense of compassion—but she also knows how to set firm boundaries and stand her ground. She’s constantly on the move, whether it’s through volleyball, flag football, or just staying active in everyday life. Her determination and competitive spirit shine through in everything she does. Beyond that, she’s deeply connected to her family and community—two things she holds close and gives back to with everything she has. Yengsuab is someone I trust deeply. She listens without judgment, gives advice with clarity, and brings strength and balance to every situation. I’m incredibly grateful to have her by my side on such a meaningful day.
