Cory & Christopher
Wedding Party
Suman Chakraborty
Christopher's Best Man
Suman... this little box isn’t big enough to describe how Christopher feels about Suman. Suman is one of Christopher’s best friends. Suman is family. Suman is the silliest hot mess and Christopher’s love for him is never ending. Suman supports Christopher in his dreams and pushes him simply by being great! Christopher was not truly familiar with the concept of a best friend before he met Suman. Suman has helped Christopher understand what companionship truly feels like and now Suman finds ways to torture Christopher like every best friend should. From New York
Louis Guillermo
Cory's Groomsman
It seems like ages ago when Cory and Louis first met in New York. Cory was fresh from London, wanting to meet new people, and asked Louis if there were any nice pubs in the city. Without hesitation, Louis said, "any bar with a P, U, and B, in the name is not a place for gay people." It was then that Cory knew this friendship would last a lifetime, even if Louis has the worst Uber rating of anyone Cory's ever met and is probably responsible for half the posts that appear on the Instagram page "overheardatagaybar." Cory couldn't imagine this day without him and he's thankful that he'll be his groomsman. From New York
Daniel Pichl
Christopher's Groomsman
Daniel, being the one of the newest members of Christopher’s inner circle, is someone who’s truly shocked him in how quickly Daniel’s become so important to Christopher. Daniel’s a delight! Anytime Christopher has needed someone to make him smile or save him, Daniel is there! Daniel travels so much for work and yet, no matter where he is, he always keeps in touch with Christopher. From New York
Maggie Powers
Cory's Groomsmaid
Maggie is a gay man trapped in a straight woman's body; she even waters her plants with La Croix. Cory and Maggie first met in 2014 while working at Columbia. Both interested in global policy, they naturally gravitated towards one another and have been causing havoc ever since. Maggie has always been there for Cory whether she's encouraging him to grow professionally, or cheering him on as he's forced to strip down the runway at the West End during Ru Paul's Drag Race. Cory could not have asked for a more understanding and supportive friend, and is grateful everyday since they've met that she's in his life. From New York
Samuel Wick
Christopher's Groomsman
Sam and Christopher met in 2015 at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival! In the middle of Ashland, Oregon, Christopher found Sam refreshing and different and he found me confusing and overly energetic but somehow they became friends. When Sam moved to New York City two years later, Christopher began kidnapping him for random adventures. Christopher isn’t sure how Sam survived or why Sam let Christopher kidnap him, but Sam’s friendship means the world to Christopher. From New York
Caleb Winter
Cory's Groomsman
"Where do I start? This is one for the books. From underwear hanging off the top of the bunkbed, to the near death experiences (there were many)... forced to share a bedroom with my highly sarcastic and "Squidward like" brother... the older I get the more I realize just how similar yet different we are. Now, I will say, he can out COOK and out CLEAN me any day. But, I can still make him cry for Ma whenever he comes homes. With all that being said, this is the first time Cory has ever made me cry where it didn't involve some sort of brotherly torture. Thank you for asking me to be in your wedding. I love you Cory." From Wisconsin
Colin Winter
Cory's Best Man
From the beginning, Colin and Cory have shared everything together. Whether it was birthday parties (being born one day apart), bedrooms (sharing the same bed until 2000), or babysitting his drunk brother (Colin was always Cory's DD), Colin's humbleness, wit, and sarcasm have always been a source of comfort and entertainment in Cory's life. These last twenty years or so have been an insane journey for the both of them and Cory couldn't ask for a more honorable person to be his Best Man. From Wisconsin
