Peyton & Blake
Wedding Party
Bryce Woodworth
Best Man
Bryce is Blake's older brother (not an easy job!). He has always been a role model, friend, and occasional math tutor to Blake. The two were known as kids as the only brothers who never fought – though the people who say that weren't witnesses to some pretty brutal tickle fights. They have too many childhood memories to recount, but were somehow always able to find ways to keep themselves entertained – even if it was by spending 3 months digging a hole in the dirt lot across the street. A lot has changed since then, but a lot hasn't. Bryce and Blake are enjoying living near each other in San Francisco and continue to exhibit nothing but the utmost maturity in their frequent visits.
Conrad Riccio
Bridesman
Conrad is Peyton's younger brother! They met when Conrad was born in 1998. Sometimes it's hard to believe that they were raised by the same parents, but it's true, they were. Conrad and Peyton grew up going to many Giants games together, jumping on the trampoline, and running around with the horde of dogs they had at all times. They lived in separate states for several years, but are enjoying being reunited in the Bay Area again for now!
David Ortez
Officiant; Groomsman
David is Blake and Peyton's officially designated third wheel. David and Blake met in college, where they were both on the executive board of the American Marketing Association. They became fast friends, and soon after Peyton joined in and the three spent lots of time together collaborating on group projects and hitting Downtown SLO. Whenever these three are together, there is endless laughter and lots of lore. As a close friend of both the bride and groom, David was the perfect choice to be our Officiant!
Cate Klein
Bridesmaid
Cate and Peyton met in 2016 through their sorority, where they ended up choosing each other as big and little. Throughout college, Cate and Peyton enjoyed accompanying each other on hikes, attending music festivals, and hanging out all around San Luis Obispo. They spent a summer studying abroad in Prague, Czech Republic, during which they traveled to nine countries together. They then continued to be roommates in college (if they both develop lung problems, attribute it to the black mold in their apartment). Cate recently moved to the Bay Area and Peyton is thrilled to have her there!
Neil Agarwal
Groomsman
Neil and Blake have been friends since 3rd grade. They, along with Keanu, met in elementary school and have stayed close for 20 years. They have many fun memories together from over the years. Blake has enjoyed visiting Neil everywhere his grad school and career have taken him – from LA to New Jersey and NYC. Though they now live on opposite sides of the country, they visit as often as possible. Blake can always count on Neil to be a reliable, thoughtful friend.
Marissa Ritter
Bridesmaid
Marissa and Peyton became friends in 2018 when they bonded over their executive positions in their sorority. They both love planning girls trips, enjoy a good craft, and are goofballs who can't help but light up a dance floor. Although they have lived across the state from each other since graduating college, they make frequent trips between San Francisco and San Diego to visit. Fun Fact: Marissa and Blake happened to meet each other in their Philosophy class and were study buddies before either of them knew Peyton!
Keanu Izadian
Groomsman
Keanu and Blake met on the elementary school playground in 2nd grade. They've been close friends since, along with Neil, and have gone through many chapters of life together over the last 20 years. Their meetups these days look a little different than their childhood playdates, but they always find a way to have a good time! They have countless memories including trips to Discovery Bay, LA, and New York. They enjoy talking music and current events, finding good restaurants across the Bay Area, and reminiscing on their glory days.
Sadie Santiago
Bridesmaid
Sadie and Peyton met in 2016 at a sorority recruitment event. The two hit it off quickly and bonded over their shared major and sense of humor. They were roommates for two years in college and both lived in the Bay Area following graduation, where they continued their shenanigans. Sadie now lives across the country in NYC, but the two frequently have multi-hour FaceTimes to catch up on life and cackle from opposite sides of the US. There's never a dull moment when these two are together.
John Bradbury
Groomsman
John and Blake met on their very first day of college. They were in the same orientation group at Cal Poly. They hit it off right away and became good friends throughout the rest of college, where they spent Sundays together going to church and grocery shopping (John is responsible for Blake being able to feed himself), and went on fun double-dates with Peyton and John's (now) wife Jasmine. Though they now live in different states, they enjoy visiting each other multiple times every year – and Uncle Blake loves spending time with John's 2 year-old son Oliver.
Allie Jeong
Bridesmaid
Allie and Peyton met in 2016 through their sorority, but Allie actually grew up near Blake and knew him from middle and high school. Luckily, Peyton happened to meet them both separately! Allie and Peyton lived together both during college and after in San Francisco. Together, they enjoy traveling around the world, exploring scenic spots, catching a sunset, and rooting on Bay Area sports teams! They have been to many places together, ranging from Sedona to Banff to even Bosnia!
Kylie Kammerer
Groomswoman
Kylie is Blake's sister-in-law – but long before that, they were high school friends. They met in class and bonded over hiking and running the school's environmental club together. They've been friends for over a decade, and as an added bonus are now family too thanks to Kylie marrying Blake's brother Bryce! They remain hiking buddies and are enjoying – along with Bryce and Peyton – living near each other in the Richmond District of San Francisco, allowing for lots of movie nights and spontaneous meetups.
Nicole Woo
Bridesmaid
Nicole and Peyton became friends in 2019 while both living in the Bay Area. They had met in college but didn't properly hang out until after Peyton graduated and moved to San Francisco. The two are quite the social pair, and both love dressing up in costume, throwing a niche themed party, and are down to try most things at least once. Peyton can always count on Nicole to find and attend any random city event (tomato fight in a back alley anyone?).
Janae Smith
Groomswoman
Blake has known Janae his whole life – they have been family-friends since he was born. From consistently making each other cry, then laugh, then cry again as little kids, to trips to Disneyland and Discovery Bay, to Janae being Blake's piano teacher, Janae has always been an honorary big sister to Blake. There is always laughter when they are together. They've seen each other through all of life's biggest moments, and they look forward to many more special memories ahead.
Adrienne & Rob Riccio
Parents of the Bride
Adrienne and Rob have been married for 32 years and have been parents to Peyton for 29 of them. They inspired Peyton to find a love like theirs - exciting and full of laughter and warmth. They are always the life of the party and never fail to make others smile.
Krystal & Brian Woodworth
Parents of the Groom
Krystal and Brian have been married for 37 years, the obvious highlight of which has been the 28 years they've been parents to Blake (sorry Bryce!). They've always instilled a family-first mindset into their kids, creating an amazing childhood for them, and are known for showing compassion and kindness to everyone they meet.
