Wedding Party
Jillian Dunbar
Maid of Honor
Jillian and Layla shared the stage together throughout college as part of Dickinson's Dance Theatre Group, but also shared an apartment Layla's senior year. Layla even passed the torch as President of the Dance Theatre Group after graduating to Jillian for her Senior Year. The two have remained incredibly close since graduating with yearly meet ups and weekly phone calls.
Zack Betty-Neagle
Man of Honor
Zack and Layla met at Bates Dance Festival in the summer of 2008, where Zack enjoyed standing behind Layla at the Ballet Barre so he could kick her booty while doing battements. They were inseparable for the three weeks after they met and have loved going through all the exciting moments of life together in the more than ten years since.
David Fathalikhani
Best Man
David and Paul have known each other for over 15 years. They grew up playing baseball together and have been friends ever since. David is a genuine, true, and incredible friend who has grown to be even more revered as they each grow older. We are thrilled to call him a life long friend. David now lives in Denver where he put his big bear paw hands to good use, starting his own physical therapy practice just outside the city called 4 Corners Sports Performance.
Ryan Thomson
Groomsman
Ryan and Paul started in the mailroom at WME three weeks apart from one another. Over the next three years Ryan grew to be a true and continual source of inspiration for Paul. He is always many things in a room: the most charming, the funniest, and the most reliable. On top of that, he continues to excel in his professional career. Having taken a leap of faith, Ryan is now at CAA where he was named to Billboard's inaugural Hip-Hop Power Players list, recognizing the top 100 individuals in the music industry "who are driving and guiding hip-hop's surge right now." Ryan has since married his college sweetheart, Brianna, who we both love dearly.
