Wedding Party
Alexis Yohros
Maid of Honor
Alexis is a PhD, wife, mom, and dog mom—basically someone who does it all with intelligence and heart. She’s a passionate social justice advocate and critical thinker who keeps things grounded and meaningful, especially when Beca needs gentle (or not-so-gentle) guidance. Alexis is funny, honest, and refreshingly down to earth—the kind of person who tells the truth and makes you laugh at the same time. In her free moments, she enjoys reading crime novels, doing Pilates, and spending time with her favorite people: her husband Evan and their daughter Mila. Their ideal day includes visiting animals at the zoo or aquarium and making sweet family memories
Spencer Faragasso
Best Man
Spencer and Evan have been the best of friends for a decade, ever since they met on Halloween at American University; little did they know they weren’t only carving pumpkins but also the basis for a lifelong friendship. Spencer has been there for it all, even the moment that Evan and Beca met, back when all three of them lived in the same apartment building where so many important memories were made. From helping Evan with unexpected apartment moves to leading the way when they got lost deep in the Virginia wilderness, Spencer has shown time and time again that he’s a friend who can truly be counted on.
Amanda Kryvicky
Bridesmaid
Amanda and Beca have been inseparable since they were teenagers, obsessed with each other and trading inside jokes about everything and nothing all day long. Somehow, they never get tired of talking to each other- or laughing at each other. Amanda is selfless, has the biggest heart, endlessly glamorous, always has Beca’s back no matter what, and somehow manages to spoil her golden retrievers more than most humans. She’s Beca’s best friend, truly family, someone she would literally lose an arm for, and basically her spirit animal, personal hype squad, and partner-in-crime all rolled into one.
Andrew Fallone
Groomsman
From arranging their month-long roadtrip across North America to helping him plan his proposal to Beca, Andrew Fallone has not only been present for many of Evan’s most important memories, but also played a key role in bringing them to life. Fallone is always taking risks that pay off, and any adventure involving him will surely be taken to new—perhaps even dangerous, yet rewarding—heights. Despite living in 6 countries since they graduated, the two of them are close as ever and always make time for a backpacking trip or a house party whenever he’s back in the states.
Elizabeth Ser
Bridesmaid
Ellie and Beca have been friends since high school, and their friendship is goofy, effortless, and full of laughs. Ellie is loyal, honest, full-on Spice Girl energy, and also very much one of the bros. She and her man are basically the cutest HS sweethearts ever and somehow fuel each other’s pickleball obsession—think tennis, but with less skill and more screaming. Goofy, weird, and always having her friends’ backs, Ellie makes Beca laugh so hard she cries …and will absolutely be a spicy bridesmaid on the dance floor.
Dominick Mortarotti
Groomsman
Throughout their decade-long friendship, Dom and Evan have made a veritable kaleidoscope of memories, from revelrous art parties at AU to peaceful moments in the North Carolina wilderness. They’ve spent countless nights (some hazier than others) discussing everything from the mysteries of nature, to the philosophy of creativity, to the fabric of reality itself. A selfless and mindful soul, Dom is dedicated to supporting the growth of everyone and everything in his life, whether it be valued friends, the flowers on his and his wife’s farm, or—most recently—their newborn daughter.
Eva Calon
Bridesmaid
Eva and Beca have been friends since middle school, and somehow she’s still as fabulous as ever. Living in NYC with her tiny dog Pluto- who Beca named because he’s basically pocket-sized- Eva brings an artistic eye, effortless style, and a level of independence and responsibility that somehow balances Beca’s unpredictability. She’s an unconditionally good friend who keeps it real, and always laughs at Beca’s jokes (which, yes, is greatly appreciated). Creative, loyal, and smart, Eva is the kind of friend who makes life brighter just by being in it.
Magnus Distefano
Groomsman
Since the day they met at AU, Magnus and Evan have been on a quest to live as fully as possible and experience all this world has to offer. It’s a journey that has been at times wild, weird, and wholesome, but always interesting. If there’s one thing about Magnus, he’s always down to send it, whether it’s an art gallery opening, an underground rave, or a hiking trip. You can always count on Magnus to be the person to bring fresh, creative energy wherever he goes.
Katie Lee
Bridesmaid
Katie met Beca in 2021, and it didn’t take long for them to become close friends. Their bond is built on shared humor, deep talks, and the kind of friendship where laughter and emotional support go hand in hand. They can be silly, sarcastic, and ridiculous one minute, and incredibly present and supportive the next. Beca is one of the kindest, most empathetic people Katie knows—someone who shows up, listens deeply, and makes the people she loves feel truly seen. Watching Beca grow over the years has been such a gift, and now seeing her marry her best friend. Katie couldn’t be more honored to stand by her side on this day.
Dylan Wong
Groomsman
Dylan is a man of duality. You’ll never meet someone more chill and down to Earth than he, but don’t let his laid back vibe fool you; he’s one of the most responsible and driven people you’ll ever know. These traits collide to form a rare wisdom which creates meaningful conversations and good vibes.
Ela Wdowinski
Bridesmaid
Ela is Beca’s stepsister and best friend, and somehow manages to be both the youngest and the most grounding person in the room. Currently in grad school for social work, she has an enormous heart, a creative spirit, and a natural way of showing up for people when it matters most. She quite literally saved Beca during Covid in Baltimore, which solidified their bond forever. Together, they make a hilarious team—capable of deep, serious conversations one minute and having way too much fun the next, never bored and always laughing. Even though Ela is the “little sister,” Beca often looks up to her and is endlessly proud of the thoughtful, compassionate person she continues to become.
Nick Barham
Groomsman
Nick, better known by his stage name “Neck” is a rare creative spirit; so rare, in fact, that he might be the only Gen Z to care about pre-war blues music. In all honesty though, Neck’s musical instinct is second to none, making him the perfect person to jam with. Aside from being a skilled and successful artist, Neck is also the definition of a chiller: he can vibe with literally anyone and is always down to chop it up.
Amy Tillotson
Bridesmaid
Amy and Beca met at FSU and have been ride-or-dies ever since, spiraling through life (and Covid) together. She’s Beca’s first wife, partner-in-crime, and the person who turns even the weirdest days into something memorable. Amy is smart, loyal, kind of funny, looks like an actual model, and somehow picked up a London accent that she uses to sound fancy—and occasionally confuse people. Between inside jokes, spontaneous adventures, and perfectly timed horoscope readings, Amy is the person Beca can’t imagine life without.
Shayan Raissian
Groomsman
Shayan is liberating to be around. He can always be counted on to pick a good concert, send it for a sunrise snowboarding trip, and make camping on Assateague Island always well worth it—even when thunderstorms send our tents flying into the ocean. And on the way there, always pass him the aux; Shayan always knows how to have a good time.
Shelby Gorstein
Bridesmaid
Shelby and Beca met in high school and later became roommates at FSU, where Shelby quickly established herself as the most adventurous human in the apartment — always barefoot, always stretching, and always somehow convincing everyone else to do things outside. She’s an outdoorsy queen, a yoga instructor, and the kind of person who can hike all day and still have the energy to be hilarious at night. Shelby brings grounding energy, big laughs, and just the right amount of chaos, and we couldn’t imagine this day without her (or her reminding us to breathe).
Andrew Phillips
Groomsman
Andrew and Evan have been friends since high school, when they formed countless memories boolin around Newton with Chance the Rapper on the stereo. Whenever they find themselves back home, Evan knows he can count on Andrew to be down to hit the New England slopes with some pre-dawn Dunks off I-95 on the way up. He may not be the fastest once they’re on the mountain, but he makes up for it by having an unbeaten win streak against Evan in ping pong.
Christina Serrato
Bridesmaid
Christina is equal parts heart and heat. She’s deeply nurturing, unapologetically spicy, and loves hard—especially her fiancé Tim and her wiener dog Frank, who absolutely knows he’s the favorite. Colombian, smart, and a total badass speech pathologist, she somehow manages to be grounding and low-key intimidating at the same time. From U-School to now, she shows up prepared, tells it like it is, and roasts you just enough to keep you humble while fixing your life. Warm, loyal, unfiltered, and the friend who’s complimenting everyone at the pregame, Christina makes life better—and keeps it interesting whether you asked her to or not.
Luke Evans
Groomsman
Luke and Evan go all the way back to high school, when he showed Evan that kids in Sharon party way harder than kids in Needham. Their friendship only grew once they went off to college and made plenty of time to kick it in DC or back home. You can find Luke just about anywhere from the climbing gym to a music festival, and anywhere you find him he’ll be sure to be living it up.
Taylor Dyer
Bridesmaid
Taylor is a mom of three, a devoted friend, and somehow still the life of every party. She and Beca met at an FSU house party—somehow surviving the chaos and each other—and have been inseparable ever since. With an artistic eye, a big heart for family, a great sense of fashion, and a knack for keeping everyone laughing, Taylor somehow juggles motherhood, a social life, and her “organized chaos”—and somehow always makes it look effortless, even when nothing is.
Ben Manchel
Groomsman
Ben and Evan have known each other for twenty years and have made a lifetime of memories over those two decades. Spending their childhood at Red Sox games and countless trips to Cape Cod, Ben is a core part of how Boston exists in Evan’s mind. Even though they don’t live in Needham any more, they’re just as in touch as ever. One thing that defines Ben: he always remembers to make time for his friends.
Lauren Griner
Bridesmaid
Lauren is Beca’s funniest friend and says exactly what everyone else is thinking—usually without warning or giving anyone a chance to prepare. Ukrainian, blunt in the most iconic way, and deeply committed to designer bags and an elite perfume collection (she will judge your scent), she somehow makes honesty feel like a personality trait. Lauren and Beca truly bonded over cringey photoshoots in the waterways of Aventura, a moment that lives rent-free in their brains forever. She doesn’t technically own a dog, but one that wears diapers has basically moved in and is living its best life under her supervision. Sharp, stylish, endlessly entertaining, and completely unapologetic, Lauren is the kind of friend who keeps things interesting and always extends her unconditional support. Beca knows she can always rely on Lauren even on the rainiest days and loves her so much for that.
Gabe Delsol
Groomsman
Gabriel Delsol is an icon. Culinarily gifted, a plate at his table is not only a work of art but also an experience that deepens your understanding of humanity in all its flavors. He doesn’t only cook food though; he also chefs up the whole vibe. With truly encyclopedic knowledge, you can discuss any topic with Gabe and walk away with a new perspective. He also slays at Jackbox almost as much as Beca does.
Sandra Coiffman
Mother of the Bride
Sandra is the heart of this whole operation and the ultimate Mother of the Bride. She’s all about mindfulness, compassion, and leading with kindness, and somehow manages to make everyone around her feel instantly welcome. Originally from Colombia, Sandra has lived in the U.S. since she was a teenager—though her accent still makes an appearance and adds a little extra flair to everything she says. She recently published a book (yes, it was a fabulous success), she’s also an adventurous traveler who thinks trips to places like Antarctica are totally reasonable. Deeply devoted to her family and friends, Sandra goes out of her way for the people she loves and does it all with warmth, intention, and a whole lot of heart. Beca is endlessly grateful for her, and honestly, so is everyone else.
Shimon Wdowinski
Father of the Bride
Shimon joined the family in 2015 when he married Sandra, and it has been truly special to have him as Beca’s stepdad ever since. He is weirdly smart (yes, a Harvard graduate), endlessly curious, and somehow manages to swim every day while also being able to climb a mountain like an absolute beast. Courteous, funny, and quietly impressive, Shimon brings both wisdom and dry humor wherever he goes. A passionate environmental advocate, he cares deeply about all things Earth-related—from conservation to bird watching, which he takes very seriously. His voice also carries a gentle international lilt that adds charm to even the most practical conversations. Beca is deeply grateful to have him not just as a stepdad, but as family.
Joanna Raskin
Mother of the Groom
Routinely cited as “the kindest person I’ve ever met” Joanna leaves a meaningful impression on everyone she’s met. Joanna is a talented and decorated hair stylist having worked on over 50 major motion pictures (including a Best Picture winner!), which made Evan the only kid who was cool for having his mom cut his hair. Joanna’s creative skill isn’t limited to hair alone, however; she has a passion for artistic expression in all forms, a trait she passed down to her son. When they aren’t painting or crafting or cooking together, Joanna and Evan can be found deep in discussion about everything from the wisdom of nature to the wonder of the cosmos.
Kenny Raskin
Father of the Groom
Kenny Raskin is a fascinating character to everyone he meets. Once the lead in Cirque du Soleil, then a featured broadway actor, and eventually an internationally-recognized hospital clown, his many lives have inspired countless folks to share their creative gifts with the world, most of all his son. Kenny taught Evan to play most of the instruments he knows, and the two of them share a deep bond through music to this day. When Evan isn’t around to jam, Kenny can be found in his studio recording a new album or practicing for his next gig at a farmers market or folk festival.
Mila Jean O'Connor
Flower Girl
Mila is the adorable flower girl and the beloved daughter of Alexis and Evan O'Connor. Bilingual, curious, and proudly Miss Independent, she loves reading, going to the zoo or aquarium, and FaceTiming with her Aunt “Titi” (though animals still rank slightly higher). She’s also an expert at peek-a-boo and has the kind of smile that lights up her whole face—it’s impossible not to smile right back. Beca cannot wait to see her walk down the aisle as flower girl and make everyone’s day a little brighter.
