Miranda Dorothy & Matthew Thomas
Wedding Party
Lara Kong
Maid of Honor
Lara has been the bride's best friend for over 6 years largely thanks to a psychology class we'd love to forget about. As a fellow music therapist and flute player, they've been able to laugh and cry over many of the same things together. Miranda wouldn't have made it through college without her late night drives, inside jokes, and shoulders to cry on.
Ryan Villahermosa
Bridesman
Ryan has been a close friend of the bride's ever since they met at the beginning of 2017 through a Mu Phi Epsilon rush event. He always made it a point to surprise Miranda on campus at UOP when visiting and plan trips to visit her after they had both graduated. He was the first of a truly incredible support system that has never wavered.
Seth Neves
Bridesman
Seth and the bride met through a Pacific Pep Band informational Zoom meeting at the beginning of the 2020 school year when everything was online. Following this meeting, it was almost a full year before they met in person. But thanks to his good vibes, Miranda never forgot about him and was pretty quick to seek him out when the pep band did get to meet again in person. This led to many nights of In n Out adventures, Mario Kart, and staying up all night talking.
Kyle Morrison
Best Man
Kyle is the groom's oldest friend, going all the way back to the 5th grade. Beyond years of bonding from such an early age, Kyle talked the groom out of quitting music as a whole going into high school. Despite the groom describing high school marching band as "The most fun I never want to have again", the groom cannot imagine his life without music at its center, and forever holds this memory in the highest regard. No one impacted the grooms life as much as Kyle Morrison.
Jerod Mies
Groomsman
Jerod and the groom met while working at everyone's favorite online store, Amazon. While neither really enjoyed the job or the alternative assignment they worked on, they quickly became friends during their first 8 hour shift together, finding the same preferences in video games and many fandoms. He taught the groom how to play Magic the Gathering, and is hopefully going to play D&D together one day!
Jimmy Jensen
Groomsman
Jimmy and the groom are true musician nerds together, exploring the trends of the clarinet world together while helping each other figure out their own sound on the instrument. While that has always been a constant, they also both enjoy playing games together and having a nice barbecue with a whiskey to cap off a good day of music exploration.
