Wedding Party
Elaine Moroles
Officiant
Hello there! My name is Elaine, or as I'm often referred to, Lanie! I'll be getting these two hitched! I was lucky enough to befriend Peter during our Disney College Program, when I infiltrated the sweetest group of roommates, and have stayed close for almost a decade! When Peter met Brandon, and Brandon met our little crew, it was like they'd always been there, and I've happily been in this sweet couple's orbit since. I can't wait to officiate the "I do's" and send two of my favorite people off to their Happily Ever After!
Kristii Anderson
Maid of Honor
Hiiiiii! My name is Kristii. I met Brandon in middle school but we became best friends in high school. Brandon is one of the most caring, selfless, and sweetest (with a whole lot of sass) people I have ever met. They have been by my side through some of my hardest and happiest days. I truly am so happy that Peter and Brandon found each other. From the moment I met Peter I knew he was a perfect match. I couldn’t have chosen a better forever person for my best friend.
Mariah Ford
Best Woman
Hey! My name is Mariah! Peter and I met when we were working together during our Disney College Program as lifeguards at Saratoga Springs. When we weren't telling children to "walk please!" or "please get away from the bottom of the slide!" you could find us spending all of our free time at a Disney park. Over the almost decade we have known each other Peter and I have grown closer spending as much time as we can together, even while living 474 miles apart (not that I am counting). I am so excited to get to stand next to Peter and Brandon on one of the happiest days of their lives!
Joey De Martini
Best Man
My name is Joey De Martini. I was born in the San Francisco Bay area and met Brandon while we attended Azusa Pacific University together. I am the third of four children. My wife, Madison, and I recently had our first kid a few months ago. Brandon is one of my closest friends and very excited that I am apart of their big day!
Monica Lam
Groomswoman
Hi! My name is Monica! Peter and I met when I moved down to Florida to do my Disney College Program and live with Mariah. The three of us quickly became an inseparable trio that could be found creating chaos at Disney, Kohls or a Chinese buffet. After finishing our programs we all remained close by visiting each other and Facetiming for hours on end. Peter and I can usually be found talking about our dogs, crochet, or any number of the TV shows we both like to watch. I am so excited to be a part of Peter and Brandon's big day and continue to see their love grow!
Shane Van Pinski
Groomsman
My name is Shane (they/them) and I live in Colorado Springs. I love art and music and Disney movies and pets! I've known Brandon since we were 18 and in college and though it took some time for us to get close, I'm so glad we did! Brandon was my roommate and closest confidant through college, in fact, I'm one of the first people they came out to. Brandon will always be my first call for the good and the bad. We've been Abe and Loki for a decade now, and I can't wait to see the rest of Peter's and their love story play out.
Shaq Garner
Groomsman
My name is Shaq! I was fortunate to meet Peter in 2015 when we were paired as roommates during our time together in the Disney College Program! Peter and I became fast friends bonding over all things Disney, and parades, and musicals! Peter’s favorite past time was giving me a heart attack every time he raised his hands on space mountain. A few years later, Brandon and Peter started dating and Brandon instantly became a part of the family, proving that they are just as crazy and headstrong as the rest of us! It’s been so beautiful and fun to watch their love grow and I’m so lucky to be standing next to them on their special day!
Rebecca Jensen
Groomswoman
I’m Rebecca! Currently residing in Southern California and working for Disney. I’ve known Brandon for over 10 years having met just after high school in the Bay Area. We grew super close when we both moved down to SoCal and bonded over our love of Disney and going to the parks every week during college.
Nikki Stoudt
Groomswoman
Hi, I am Nikki! Peter and I have known each other since much, much more awkward phases — hi, Gastonia! A Raleighite now, I work in marketing and PR for a really cool museum (ask me about it!) and enjoy reading, listening to K-pop, going for long walks, and discovering new spicy foods in my free time.
Erica Fulton
Groomswoman
My name is Erica, I grew up in Livermore, CA & have been close friends with Brandon for almost 20 years! We met through Livermore Youth Football & Cheer & later attended the same high school.
Kirsten Ellis
Groomswoman
Hey there! My name is Kirsten and I met Peter while we went to UNC together where we quickly became inseparable. We were in band, dance marathon and Camp Kesem together. If you were ever looking for us you could usually find us at Cosmic Cantina, eachother's formals, in coordinating Halloween costumes, making crafts, mainlining Diet Coke and/or getting noise violations for playing Disney Trivia too enthusiastically and competitively. Now I live in Denver with my dog Franklin and my husband Cam. Peter and I have stayed in touch since graduation through weekend trips, running adventures, book recommendations and long meandering phone calls. I don’t know how to end this bio but know this is going to be a beautiful wedding and a more beautiful marriage!
Angel Nordike
Groomswoman
Hey! I am Angel and I am a Store Manager at Starbucks and part-time drag queen. When not working or slaying, I enjoy reading, playing too many hours of video games, and hanging out with my amazing friends. I first met Brandon when we were both baby baristas when Brandon first moved to RVA. I quickly discovered we share a love of Disney, Drag, and horror movies and the rest was history! Brandon and I started our drag journeys together, subsequently pulling Peter into the mix down the road. We've gone on many adventures together including K-Pop concerts, mountain vacations, and exploring local restaurants and breweries, and whatever else the future holds! <3
