Anya & David
Wedding Party
Katelyn Pietrucha
Co-officiant
As the oldest of the three Fairburn children, Katelyn has always served as the leader and wise-one to her two siblings. Her wit, contagious energy, and positive attitude have always been the envy of her younger brother. Now with her own children and marriage, she's an obvious officiant to guide Dave and Anya into their marriage and lifelong partnership. It is truly special that Dave's sister will co-officiate their wedding and act as a shining example of marriage and commitment.
Lauren Clifford
Co-officiant
As the middle child of the three Fairburn children, Lauren played a strong role in Dave's life. Being the closest in age, Dave has always admired Lauren's resiliency, work discipline, and ability to flourish in any environment. Lauren's dedication to her two children, her own marriage, and to herself are just a few examples as to why she's the ideal officiant to lead the procession and celebration of love. Dave and Anya are blessed that Lauren is acting as co-officiant and can be a North Star to their marriage.
Victor LaPorte
Co-Best Man
As Dave's partner in crime all through high school, Victor has plenty of embarrassing and incriminating stories on Dave. The two have had plenty of adolescent hijinx (mostly involving hot glue sticks or furniture movers, no seriously) that have strengthened their bond. Dave is ecstatic he can have Victor by his side on his wedding Day.
Robin Armstrong
Maid of Honor
From freshman year roommates to lifelong best friends! Robin and Anya became best friends when they met at Tufts, and their friendship has continued strong. Robin lives in NYC now after finishing her PhD in genetics at University of North Carolina. Anya and Robin have an unbreakable bond, and Anya is so happy that Robin will be there on her big day.
Jon Lumpkin
Co-Best Man
As Dave's roommate all through college, Jon has been solid dude and stable friend for over a decade. He's been with Dave through thick and thin and lived through apartments that were either way too hot or way too cold. As roommates for four years, the two have a relationship that can only be described as "weird, but it works". Dave is incredibly happy to have Jon as a co-best man.
Heather Williams
Matron of Honor
Anya and Heather have been best friends since 7th grade. Heather has been like a sister to Anya from the moment they met. Even though they parted ways after high school, their bond has remained incredibly strong. Heather is a Colorado native and loves her 4 dogs, cat, oh...and husband! Anya was so happy to be a part of Heather's wedding last year, and now Anya is grateful that Heather will be her matron of honor.
Chris Ahumada
Groomsman
Dave first met Chris freshman year when he became locked out of his dorm and had no choice but to break into Chris' ground floor window to get back inside. Even as a would-be window enterer, the two became good friends all through college. Dave is pumped that he can have a good bud like Chris at part of the wedding.
Sarah Clark
Bridesmaid
Even though their boss thought they would hate each other, Sarah and Anya bonded quickly over their love of the outdoors and faux investment in the Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise. Sarah taught Anya how to play ukulele and their band, Garage Sausages, played a few gigs (jokes). Sarah, Dave, and Anya (Sardanya) have travelled together, and Dave and Anya are excited to have Sarah be a part of their big day!
Zack Lane
Groomsman
Zack has been a good bud all through college and has always been an inspiration to Dave. With a bond forged in the fires of Spikeball camaraderie, the two are good friends and continue to grow closer today. Whether its hiking with his cute pup or camping in the middle of nowhere, it's always a good time when Zack is around. Dave is glad he can have Zack join him on his wedding day.
Danielle Cotugno
Bridesmaid
Anya and Danielle became good friends in grad school and continued their friendship after they graduated! Danielle lives in New Mexico with her husband Drew, and new baby boy, Finn. Anya and Danielle just have the best time when they're together, and Anya is so happy to have Danielle by her side.
Akash Johnson
Groomsman
Akash and Dave first became good friends during the slog of undergrad. The two had numerous classes and group projects together. Akash single handedly encouraged Dave to make it through the trials and tribulations of an engineering degree, and remains a good friend to this day. Whether it's hiking or supporting Dave with his scientific hobbies, Dave is glad to have Akash's cool attitude and solid friendship nearby.
Emma Rubin
Bridesmaid
Anya and Emma were roommates in grad school, but became great friends in the year and a half they were together. Anya and Emma enjoyed hosting their brunch football parties in their apartment at Stanford, and romping around the campus together. They travelled to Patagonia together, and have remained friends! Anya is excited to have Emma next to her on her big day.
