Wedding Party
Angela
Bride
Angela, the bride, is the head (the planner) of this celebration, a creative spirit with a knack for bringing people together (and baking the most beautiful challah bread you’ve ever seen). She’s happiest surrounded by good food, good friends, and a little bit of flour on her hands. On their wedding day, she’s most excited to celebrate love, family, and all the small, sweet moments in between.
Bobby
Groom
Bobby is the heart of this celebration, the dreamer running full speed through life, dedicated to breathing life back into old things and building something beautiful from the ground up. Whether he’s hanging drywall, sanding floors, or fixing what others might have given up on, he does it with passion and purpose. He’s the spark that keeps everything moving forward, the laughter that fills the house, and the reason every wall, and every day, feels more like home.
Bree Hersch
Maid of Honor
Bree Hersch is Angela's best friend, rooted, vibrant, and full of life. A creative soul with an infectious warmth, she’s the friend who will always pick up the phone, no matter how long the drive home. A lover of dogs, flowers, and all things that grow. She now shares that love with the next generation, building gardens and teaching kids about local food systems in Staunton City Schools.
Billy Nolden III
Best Man
Billy is Bobby’s brother and the kind of guy who’s always there when you need him, usually with a wrench, a joke, or a perfectly cooked meal. A skilled mechanic and an even better dad, Billy does his best work where the heat’s on, whether it’s under the hood or in the kitchen.
Talita Cordeiro
Bridesmaid
Talita Cordeiro, sister-in-law and honorary life coach, always knows what to say. From thoughtful advice over the phone to shared meals (and mandatory massages) in Brazil, she brings warmth, laughter, and love wherever she goes.
Alex Haase
Groomsman
Alex Haase is one of the sharpest, funniest people you’ll ever meet. A true master in the kitchen, Alex has a knack for making great food and good conversation and is an incredibly gifted piano player (even if he doesn’t always show it). No matter how much time goes by, when Bobby and Alex get together, it feels like the same easy friendship they’ve always had.
Juliana Marcos
Bridesmaid
Juliana, Angela’s sister, is fun, fearless, and forever the life of the party. Living in Florianópolis, she teaches English and brings joy wherever she goes. Though not technically twins, she and Angela share the same eyes, smile, spark, and a lifetime of laughter, proof that sisterhood doesn’t need matching birthdays to feel like magic.
Corey Clark
Groomsman
Corey is a neighbor-turned-friend who is always up for a challenge, whether it’s trying something new or mastering the next board game campaign. When Bobby and Angela first moved in together, Sunday nights at Corey’s apartment were dedicated to tabletop game campaigns that lasted for months. He’s thoughtful, adventurous, and always ready to roll the dice on a good time.
Diana Farkas
Mother of the Bride
Diana, the Mother of the Bride, is the definition of “small but mighty.” A modern woman with a touch of old-fashioned glamour, she’s never without her 5-inch heels and impeccable organization. She proves every day that great things really do come in small packages.
Missy Nolden
Mother of the Groom
The Mother of the Groom, Missy, is a beach-loving, big-hearted mom who raised two kind and thoughtful boys. She’s happiest when she’s helping out, keeping things neat, and winning at Solitaire, all with her signature coastal flair.
Eduardo Marcos
Father of the Bride
The Father of the Bride, Eduardo, is a brilliant mathematician, movie buff, and self-proclaimed comedian. Living in Brazil, he has recently become determined to master French, bringing the same focus and curiosity to language learning that he brings to solving equations and exploring life’s big questions.
Bill Nolden Jr.
Father of the Groom
Bill, the Father of the Groom, was a man of few words but endless energy. Whether sailing, fixing, or building something new, he was always in motion and always willing to lend a hand. His adventurous spirit and maker’s heart live on in his sons, who carry forward his love of creating and his quiet dependability.
