Wedding Party
Tyler Cande
Best Man
Tyler and Miles became friends six months before he and Allie, set off on their engagement-making tour of the U.S. in their camper van (Peter Van), which ultimately landed them in Colorado. They are now parents to little Kaydence and baby Kyah! Despite the distance, Tyler and Miles have remained close, partnering together in buying boutique hotels, and adventuring all over the globe, from ski slopes to Black Rock City.
Shelby Patterson
Maid of Honor
There’s nothing quite like a sisterly bond, and Emily and Shelby’s is filled with endless love and laughter. Shelby is wise beyond her years, incredibly strong, and someone Emily is so proud to call her little sister. Watching Shelby chase her dreams as a professional dancer in New Jersey has been nothing short of inspiring. Emily couldn’t imagine this day without Shelby by her side.
Gus Ellis
Groomsman
Miles was super-stoked to finally get a boy cousin when Gus was born 7 years later. Since then things have only gotten better, and the two have a blast whenever they get together. Now residing across the pond in merry old London with his lovely wife Leah and son Hector, this gentle giant is one of Miles' oldest friends!
Jamee Barrios
Matron of Honor
Emily's maternal cousin, Jamee, has always felt like the big sister she never had. From childhood adventures to life’s biggest milestones, she’s been a constant source of love, support, and guidance. Now mom to Finnley (one of our adorable flower girls) and Beau (our sweet ring bearer), and wife to Alex, Jamee balances it all with grace and endless warmth. She’s been by Emily’s side through so many important moments, and it’s only fitting she’ll be there on this special day, too.
Adam Trivison
Groomsman
Adam and Miles met when they found out they were both from OC and going to Columbia Business School at the same time. Within a half hour of meeting over a beer, Miles took a chance and asked Adam if he wanted to room together in NYC. That chance paid off handsomely with a lifetime friendship (along with many more enjoyable beers). Still living in NYC, Adam is now married to wife, Amanda, with two littles, Theo and Poppy.
Emma Rudd
Bridesmaid
Emily and Emma have been friends since their awkward middle school days, and through every phase of life, Emma has been a constant source of joy. There’s an effortless comfort in Emma’s presence—whether it’s cozy nights in or spontaneous adventures, time spent together is always the best time. Outside of their friendship, Emma shines in her career as a talent manager, balancing ambition with her signature warmth and humor. Emily feels so lucky to have Emma by her side to share in the laughter, lightness, and love of such a special day.
Daniel Gutierrez
Groomsman
Daniel is the 3rd arm of the Miles-Tyler-Daniel Fern Street Hospitality empire, though he wisely made the choice to remain living locally. Though introduced by Tyler, they really became friends when Daniel invited himself over at the end of a long night to grill up some hotdogs. Now, after co-founding the illustrious "Intellectual Yet Idiot Book Club" together, Miles calls Daniel for advice whenever he needs guidance on renovating the house... which is a lot! He is married to the lovely Marnie, who recently gave birth to baby Chloe.
Kelly Babigian
Bridesmaid
Emily and Kelly’s friendship began at Yorba Linda High School, and from the very start, Kelly proved to be someone Emily could always count on. Whether it’s navigating life’s dilemmas with her sharp critical thinking or offering unwavering love and support, Kelly has a way of bringing strength and calm to every situation. She effortlessly balances brilliance and kindness—qualities that shine not only in her friendships but also in her career as a cybersecurity engineer at Microsoft. Emily feels endlessly grateful for Kelly’s steady presence in her life and is so excited to have her by her side for this unforgettable day.
Adam Mullins
Groomsman
Adam and Miles met after he returned to SoCal from business school and they started attending music shows together. Miles really appreciates Adam's off-beat sense of humor and artistic influence, and enjoys easily shredding him on the slopes of Mammoth Mountain. Adam's amazing bachelor party (canoeing down the Colorado river) was the best ever and inspired Miles' own outdoor adventure excursion. He is married to Patty and they are parents to Autumn!
Alexis Collins
Bridesmaid
Emily and Alexis met in college at Pace Univeristy in NYC. Alexis’s bubbly, easy-going nature drew everyone—including Emily—into her orbit. Their three years of living together were filled with laughter, warmth, and an endless supply of positivity, all thanks to Alexis’s infectious spirit. She’s always been Emily’s biggest cheerleader, offering unwavering support and encouragement. In 2023, after years of convincing, Alexis finally made the move to Los Angeles, where she’s now thriving in her role as a community manager in the tech and gaming space.
Mike Davidek
Groomsman
Mike (also a good friend of Adam Mullins) has been a good friend ever since crashing at the most crowded rental Mammoth Lakes has ever seen. Since then they've become close working out and hiking over California's local mountains. Mike has a hilarious, biting sense of humor and Miles forgives him for using his black belt to break Miles' wrist in jiu-jitsu. Mike is married to Star and they are parents to Kenji.
Jess Halee
Bridesmaid
Emily met Jess in college at Pace Univeristy in NYC, where they quickly became friends and later roommates alongside Alexis. The three of them shared three amazing years together, filled with laughter, late-night chats, and city adventures. Jess has a one-of-a-kind energy—a true unicorn of a friend who brings joy and ease to every interaction. Their fun, lighthearted spirit makes them an absolute delight to be around. Still living on the east coast, Jess is now thriving as a film editor in Brooklyn. Emily is so excited to spend quality time with Jess during the wedding weekend.
Ajay Naryan
Groomsman
Ajay met Miles when they discovered they were Orange Countians going to Columbia Business School at the same time. Since then, they've had regular Taco Tuesdays & tennis pow-wows, having each other's backs and conversing on business, romance, & culture.
Valerie Pena
Bridesmaid
Emily and Valerie’s friendship began while working together at Too Faced Cosmetics, and though they haven’t known each other as long as some of the others, Valerie has already made an incredible impact on Emily’s life. Her fierce spirit and undeniable beauty—inside and out—are endlessly inspiring, and her friendship has been a true gift. As a product developer in the cosmetics industry, Valerie brings creativity and passion to everything she does.
Chasin Prather
Officiant
Chasin is one half of the Chasin & Cory Prather power-couple that introduced Miles to Emily back in 2022. They knew Emily through Cory's work at Too Faced Cosmetics, and Chasin used to play club volleyball with Miles both in high school and in college in New England! His role in bringing them together and his shakespearean instagram posts (@c_citybycity) made them realize he was the perfect choice for officiant.
