Wedding Party

Meet the friends who are participating in our celebration!

Becket Greten-Harrison

Best Man

Derek's awesome younger brother is a fellow gamer and cardiovascular specialist PA. Please feel encouraged to seek free medical advice at the reception!


Brock Thompson

Best Man

Jason's former roommate, he is Mary Todd's uncle and a VERY minor DC celebrity.

Fiona Boucher

Groomswoman

Derek's best friend since childhood, they once played the leading roles in a 1st grade production of "Rumpelstiltskin" and it's been downhill ever since.


Colin Lynch

Groomsman

Jason's close friend is a prize-winning organist (Trinity, Copley Square, Boston), and champion figure skater.

Robert Bennesh

Groomsman

Derek's "Swedish Brother," who also just happens to be an organist. They're everywhere!


Suzanne Head

Groomswoman

Jason's close friend from Dallas, she is also his moral compass, personal television concierge, and one hell of a handbell ringer.

Rachel Holm

Groomswoman

Derek's former work-wife and soon-to-be famed romance novelist, she is a wedding planning goddess.


Fred Rose

Groomsman

Jason's close friend from Atlanta is the region's premier medical textbook supplier, and also possesses the unique ability to make Jason laugh til he cries.

Dusty Riddle

Groomsman

From VIP tours of art galleries and Nationals Park to post-evensong soirees (surrounded by organists, of course!), Dusty is always full of great ideas of things to do around town.


Preston Smith

Groomsman

No trip to NYC is complete without a visit to Uncle Preston--actor, model, and yes, organist.

Dave Towberman

Groomsman

Derek's best straight male friend ever. He's the perfect companion for a Negroni, and his expertise in the area of waste management is unrivaled.


Kevin Sparrow

Groomsman

One of Jason's closest friends from college. From Seinfeld allusions to liturgical customaries, they somehow never run out of fodder for conversation.

Joanna Unangst

Groomswoman

Derek's Disney travel soulmate and all-time favorite seminary recruit, she is a former psychologist who once flew to Florida for a haircut.


Tom Yatsco

Groomsman

A close friend to both Jason and Derek, he possesses a deep love of Russian history, Unsolved Mysteries, and classic television game shows.

Emily Collette Linton

Reader

The Rev. Emily (AKA "Pooter") grew up in Jason's choir in Huntsville and is a recent graduate of Virginia Theological Seminary, where Derek never let her forget the nickname Jason gave her all those years ago. Let this be a lesson: flatulence in a children's choir will not go unpunished.


Frank Orman

Reader

Always the life of the party, Frank used his formidable manipulative skills to bring Jason and Derek together. When not matchmaking or playing the organ (another organist!), he can often be found harassing people who fully deserve it.

The Rt. Rev. James R. Mathes

Officiant

Derek's boss for two years at Virginia Theological Seminary, Bishop Jim loves keeping Derek in check, so he's definitely someone Jason wants on his side.


The Rev. Ann Gillespie

Preacher

She's done it all: "Beverly Hills 90210," "Star Trek," and also worked closely in offices (at different times) with both Jason and Derek!

The Rev. Noelle York-Simmons

Intercessor

Jason's awesome marathon-running Rector took on the Confederacy...and won.

For all the days along the way
