Wedding Party

Bridget Grace Sheaff

Maid of Honor

Bridget Grace Sheaff was sitting unawarely in the cafeteria at The Catholic University of America when Claire sat across from her. Now she’s the maid of honor, so she’s petitioning for a plaque to be put at that table.

Eric Schulze

Best Man

Eric secretly has been masquerading successfully as a professional scientist for years while not-so-secretly still harboring a beating artist-heart at his core. He met Martin through this need to build community around art and science while he lived in DC. Eric has since become a brother to both Martin and Claire from the west coast

Derek David

Bridesman

Derek tripped into a pile of glitter with Claire while in college. They've been stuck on each other ever since like that glitter that's stuck, on them. Fun fact: they also are the only two people in the world with naturally pink hair.

Carl Bedell

Groomsman

Carl and Martin met in DC and formed a friendship over their shared passions for art and the outdoors. The two have bonded over museum outings, trout rivers, and narrow escapes from deadly caterpillars.

Stephanie Blake

Bridesmaid

Stephanie and Claire met on Claire's 15th birthday. It's been a long friendship of love for the Golden Girl and talks of being old women with rainbow hair

Connor Hogan

Bridesman

Connor learned how not to smile from Claire Aniela. While living in DC, they tried other bars but nowhere felt quite like Saint Ex...until they started doing live comedy. He looks forward to Claire doing something ridiculous at her wedding with he will use to torment her until the end of her days.

Nate Lewis

Groomsman

Nate is one of Martin's oldest friends from the DC art world. He was also one of the first people to spend time with the happy couple in the early days of them dating. Nate is the life of the party and will be on then dance floor all night long this October.

Alexis Spero

Bridesmaid

Martin pushed them to meet and possibly be friends and now Alexis is one of Claire's bridesmaid. Oh how the tables have turned.

Nora Swift

Groomswoman

Nora is the first person Martin ever met, seeing as they shared a womb. Though she is technically Martin's "younger sister", she never let that stop her from putting Martin in his place through their childhood.

Jessica Seigel

Bridesmaid

Jessica and Claire met while working together in the pink prison once known as The Wing. They bonded quickly over their mutual hatred of the poorly made cocktails and people who walk too slowly in kitchens.

Liz Murray

Bridesmaid

Liz & Claire met at Catholic University, through the drama and musical departments. Their friendship has blossomed in the past three years over wine, cheese, desserts and more wine. They are still waiting for their Celine Dion Concert to be rescheduled

Brooke O'Connor

Bridesmaid

Brooke is Claire's younger, cooler cousin from California. She is tasked with the responsibility of not letting Claire do anything Gen Z would make fun of.

Stefin Dezil

Groomsman

Benji Welmond

Groomsman

Tyler Kelly

Groomsman

Joey Jenkins

Groomsman

Tim Mudrick

Josh Volz

Officiant

Josh is one of the best friends Claire and Martin could ask for. When it came time to figuring out who would officiate the wedding, this was a no brainer.
