Wedding Party
Nina Thoming
Matron of Honor
Nina is my older sister, my best friend, and my forever partner in crime. She's also one of the reasons we're all here today—early on, she told me that Max was awesome and that I should keep going out with him, and as usual, she was right. Somehow she manages to be an incredible mom, wife, artist, business owner, and sister all at the same time, while still finding time to give me life advice. One of my favorite memories is all of our college adventures taking photos together, including the times I convinced her to crawl onto fallen logs over rushing rivers for the perfect Instagram shot. I'm so lucky to have a sister who always shows up for me, guides me when I need it, and keeps my life at least somewhat on track.
Bryan Fradin
Best Man
Bryan and I met battling each other in Yu-Gi-Oh during high school, and somehow that turned into a lifelong friendship. Today he's my best man, right-hand man, and the guy who helped plan my first date with Siena—which thankfully worked out pretty well. He's a lawyer for Hot Topic, making him Siena's favorite member of the wedding party, and when he's not lawyering, he's probably winning at poker or planning his next Disneyland trip. Bryan is married to the amazing Caitlin, and together they're two of our favorite people. He also considers himself a master mixologist, while the rest of us appreciate his unwavering confidence in some very questionable cocktails.
Anika Clark
Matron of Honor
Anika is my little sister, one of my best friends, and someone who can always make me laugh. She's an amazing wife and mom to Capri and Colby, who are clearly future tennis stars. She's also the queen of sourdough bread, cake decorating, pastries, and DIY home projects—basically the creative talent of the family. Most importantly, Anika always brings the fun, whether that's through a great story, a spontaneous adventure, or a perfectly made margarita. Life is always better when Anika is around.
Jeremy Sparage
Groomsman
Jeremy and I have been friends since we were five years old, growing up as neighbors and eventually becoming more like brothers than friends. He somehow became a math teacher, proving that at least one of us paid attention in school. When he's not teaching, you'll find him playing pickleball, planning his next trip, or spoiling his dog. Jeremy is also one of the single groomsmen, so if you're looking for a nice guy with a stable career, a love of travel, and a wicked pickleball serve, feel free to introduce yourself.
Alix Schwartz
Bridesmaid
Alix is Max's sister, but from the day I met her, she made me feel like family too. She's an absolute sales baddie who can talk to anyone and somehow make it look effortless. One of my favorite things about Alix is that she always brings the fun—and usually the wildest stories you've ever heard. She's always up for an adventure, whether that's trying something new, making last-minute plans, or randomly deciding to pick up tennis. I'm so lucky to be gaining not just a sister-in-law, but a true friend.
Dalton Kebely
Groomsman
Dalton and I met on the very first day of college orientation, and we've been causing just enough trouble together ever since. These days he's a pilot, but before that he was a professional skateboarder, proving that a normal level of adrenaline has never really interested him. When he's not flying planes, you'll probably find him in the gym or planning his next adventure from his home in Boise. Dalton is one of the most loyal friends I know, comes from an awesome family, and is somehow still single. Ladies, if you're looking for a pilot with great hair and a good heart, this is your chance.
