Katherine & Jackson
Wedding Party
Amanda Waddell
Matron of Honor
Met in middle school and our love of anime, cosplay, acting -- everything creative -- filled our friendship with fun, late-night hangouts. We rock it coast to coast while staying connected via long chats. An inspiration in every sense of the word!
Max Barreto
Best Man
The not-so-little brother of the groom. Super smart and just a great guy all around.
Margaret Kelly
Bridesmaid
Cousin of the bride and fellow creative who loves Kpop! Makes every family and friend gathering more fun. We tend to catch up while exercising or playing board games -- multitasking FTW! Need a book rec? She's your gal.
Thomas Botts
Groomsman
Brother of the Bride. First met this guy when he visited Katherine at Chapman. This guy knows his comics, anime, and board games.
Andrea Baker
Bridesmaid
Met at a film internship right out of college. Bonded over screenwriting, anime, and all things cute! We conquered the LA night scene then settled in for board games and movie nights, watching everything from gangsters to romances.
Sean Baker
Groomsman
This freaking guy. Honestly though, one of the best people that I have the honor of knowing and counting as a friend.
Lauren Gaw
Bridesmaid
Went to preschool together but neither of us remembers that. Reunited on the first day of 6th grade at Kinkaid and friends ever since. Hosted many nights of fun during summer breaks. My go-to for fashion, thrifting, and baking!
Kiko Suura
Groomsman
Kikoooo! Long time friend since Chapman. Super supportive and an uplifting dude. New dog owner too!
Mischa Marcus
Bridesmaid
Met at Chapman and bonded over screenwriting and Tim Burton. Co-writer, director, and all-around fearless boss babe. We spend many days strategizing how to conquer Hollywood with her adorable dogs. Foodie with a flair for entertaining!
Oliver Soufi
Groomsman
No vegetables for this guy! Long time friend from early AnimeExpo days.
Kimberly Wood
Bridesmaid
A bond shared since middle school, filled with deep discussions and midnight movie screenings. A mom with a daredevil streak -- we jumped out of a plane together! Always look forward to catching up when back in Texas.
Charles Durnell
Groomsman
Another LA transplant that we met through Andrea Baker. He and his wife Julie are just freaking adorable.
Artemis Phillips
Bridesmaid
One of the first on the scene to hear about the bride's interest in the groom. Friends since freshman Chapman days. An adventurous warrior woman, aka Wonder Woman incarnate. A talented scribe and fellow nerd with a sweet heart!
Spike Scarberry
Groomsman
First met this guy through Andrea Baker when he moved out to LA to work in the film industry. Just an awesome dude.
Natalie Testa
Bridesmaid
Fellow Chapman graduate who the bride met through Artemis when we all took up residence in the Shoaks apartment. Strategic board game lover with a wealth of knowledge and a knack for finding fun recipes to try!
Eric Day
Groomsman
Even though we both went to Chapman, didn’t meet this guy until after graduation when his wife, Natalie, was our roommate. Wicked smart and if you need advice about NFTs and entrepreneurship, this is your guy!
