Erin King

Bridesperson

I met Cass in college and I am so lucky that pitching myself to her as a good potential housemate (with the bribery of making fudge for the house) ended with me finding my best friend. People often thought we were sisters on campus, it certainly feels that way after years of supporting each other through thick and thin. I'm a huge animal lover and wildlife nerd, with a passion for bird research and spoiling senior pets. I can't wait to come celebrate my "sister's" big day!

Jason Brugman

Jason is a mutual college friend of the bride and groom. He met Patrick through Sigma Nu, and was crucial in keeping the bride and groom in touch after Patrick graduated (by being the Game Master of a D&D campaign they both were in).

Lyren Bly

Bridesperson

Cass and I met in elementary school as mutually voracious readers, and reconnected in high school as members of the JWHS marching band (and child labor apple pie bake sale). I'm currently living in Michigan with my cat and partner of five years (separate beings), and am thrilled to be part of this special day!

Caelen Bausone

Caelen is Patrick's cousin. He plays Dungeons and Dragons with the bride and groom, and goes on intermittent double dates with them to movies.

Brian Beaume

Groomsperson

Brian is a friend of Patrick's from college turned roommate in adult life. He, Patrick, and Cass were roommates for a while when Cass moved down to Richmond. Brian plays TTRPGs with the bride and groom, and enjoys hiking, cosplay, and bothering their cat that he is allergic to.

Oliver Marino-Lopez

Bridesperson

Cass and I met in high school and reconnected during the pandemic, offering each other support in unprecedented times. Through the years, I've been lucky enough to consider Cass one of my closest friends. I live with my husband in the same area as Cass and Patrick, and we've had the joy of many a board game night with the duo. I spend my free time going to the rock climbing gym, spending time outdoors with my pets, and playing board games with friends. Looking forward to celebrating this wonderful couple!

Marisa Bausone

Groomsperson

Marisa is Patrick's cousin.
