Madeline & Kyle
Wedding Party
Reilly O'Brien
Maid of Honor
Madeline's only sister, first friend and roommate circa 2019. She was the first to meet Kyle and she approved! Just a year and a half apart in age, Maddie and Reilly were often in the same dorms at camp and on the same sports teams, though Maddie could be a little intense. Growing up Maddie would interrupt Reilly's playtime with her Barbie's to try to either A. Let her join or B. Get Reilly to agree to play another game of Survivor where Maddie was (unfairly) both host, Jeff Probst, and a contestant, more often than not Reilly would just tell her to leave. Reilly is an excellent painter and artist and a source of inspiration for Maddie anytime they get to create art together is a good day. Some of Maddie's favorite memories of Reilly include their friend Cassie. Together they filmed an entire Les Miserables costumed musical, pumped up the CCHS spirit section, and LARP'd their way through the Game of Thrones Tour in Ireland. She enjoys being a MOH almost as much as she enjoyed being a flower girl!
Hannah E. F. Warden
Matron of Honor
The first Fenton grandchild and big sister to Maddie and Reilly, Hannah was the queen of dress up and gave many makeovers to her cousins typically themed around Josie and the Pussycats. She was an advocate for sleepovers and was always ready to employ her skillful diplomacy on the parents. Hannah even convinced Maddie's mom to let her watch Legally Blonde before she was 13!!! All of the best hand-me-downs came from Hannah especially since she is also a size 11 shoe! She introduced Maddie to Foothill Horizons, Volleyball, The Sims, LimeWire, the list goes on. Hannah made Maddie her first mix CD with classic hits like 'Sk8r Boi,' Britney Spears' Pepsi Commercial, and Weird Al's 'My Fart Will Go On.' As a kid one of Maddie's favorite unsolicited facts to tell people was, "I'm Hannah Fenton's cousin." A wonderful mom to our flower girl, Remy, she just welcomed a beautiful baby boy, Cal! It is no wonder why Maddie spent her whole life and continues looking up to Hannah.
Georgiana Bloomenfeld
Bridesmaid
Though Maddie and Georgie would first attend camp in 2003, it wasn't until a fateful Jurassic Park themed week in 2010 that Maddie and Georgie became friends. Together they worked at camp and were roommates for a summer. Most memorably while in Mad Hatter and Cheshire Cat costumes, they provided medical aid to a fellow staff member dressed as Captain Hook. Georgie's love for Taylor Swift, Starbucks, sunny drives and dance parties makes being friends with her pure joy. Georgie knows how to celebrate life and is always down for a shopping trip to Century City. She was also down to be Maddie's wing woman at several of Kyle's comedy shows before they became official. Of all her friends she is most likely to accidentally match with Georgie, though Maddie's shoes are never quite as clean. Yes, the above photo is our contact photos for a each other.
Quincy Derouin
Bridesmaid
Maddie has stayed up all night with no-one more than Quincy. These two would sneak out and watch the sunrise and try too absorb every last second of camp before they had to get on the bus the next day. In 2012 their dreams came true and they were hired as the new Girl's Counselors. Maddie in the Squirrel dorm and Quincy in the neighboring Raccoon dorm which made sharing one giant bottle of aftersun easy. Making costumes and assisting together are still some of Maddie's favorite memories. For years after Maddie stopped working at camp, Director Quincy would let her come up for a week to visit and relive the magic. Quincy is the kind of friend who always makes sure Maddie's watch strap is tucked in and her hair isn't all over the place, but might just let her go to the grocery store with dirt all over her face because its hilarious and at some point she needs to learn.
Colleen Cornacchia
Bridesmaid
Colleen was almost Maddie's college roommate but because Maddie was afraid she would potentially annoy the crap out of Colleen she kindly ghosted her. Luckily, on day one of Orientation, Maddie was put in the same 'NSOP' group as the 6'2 Colleen. After apologizing for dropping off the face of the earth, they became buddies and it became clear Maddie made a better visitor than permanent fixture on Carmen 7. Colleen and Maddie were teammates on the rowing team all four years. Though they both were ports, they approached erg test differently. Colleen, a mathematician and queen of logic, favored structure and reason to deliver results, while Maddie was known for the intense and chaotic "fly and die." Proper air conditioning, good food, comfortable shoes and plenty of sleep are the keys to a happy Colleen and Maddie is on board with all of the above!
Carly Tashjian
Bridesmaid
This friendship was built upon dining hall pita bread and questionably acquired Four Lokos. Carly was Maddie's lifting partner and is capable of more chin-ups than most humans. Together Carly and Maddie spent many nights in Butler Library, getting in some laughs between Lit Hum essays. Carly was gracious enough to be one of Maddie's muses for her film class, taking time out of her busy schedule to have a full conversation with a blender, play a bartending version of Robin Goodfellow as well as subject herself to Maddie's questions in her Documentary. Together they have rowed countless meters, meandered 22 miles on the streets of Rome, and walked the entirety of Manhattan in a day. Carly sees the world in the most unique way, she will have you crying from laughter.
Aneesha Baliga
Bridesmaid
Though Maddie frequently forgets, Aneesha stands at just under 5.' Her personally is big and she made everyone keenly aware of her authority every day on the water, "O'Brien put your blade in!." Off the water, Aneesha coached Maddie through some of the biggest erg tests and most memorably helped name her boat. Aneesha brings the party. Maddie is always down to boogie with Aneesha especially if there are costumes involved. Aneesha always had the nicest dorm in college and when Kyle and Maddie were stranded in New York last year was beyond generous to offer up her stunning apartment as a place they could stay. She is stylish and a world class DJ. Look for her tearing it up on the dance floor!
Lilli (Recruit) DeBode Finale
Bridesmaid
In Maddie's phone she will forever be Lilli Recruit, after Maddie was tasked with making Lilli's official visit one to remember. Luckily a few mishaps didn't deter her from selecting CU. Moving forward Lilli became Maddie's much taller "little sister." While at school she took part in Maddie's student film shenanigans, playing everything from an abandoned child to night club owner, Queen Titania. They, along with Carly and Aneesha rowed for New York Athletic Club where they competed Internationally but more importantly memorized all the pop hits of Summer 2015. Lilli will surely document the big day on her legendary Snapchat where much of Maddie's NY College life was hilariously recorded.
Naomi Prentice
Bridesmaid
Naomi and Maddie met as LA newcomers, becoming fast friends. With similar work ethics and attitudes they jumped right into the world of independent films aka, sh*t shows. Together they have pulled many all-nighters, in order to complete props and set pieces all while laughing to keep from crying. Naomi would handle the props and managing set while a paint-covered Maddie prepped the next set. After flipping a show together, they reached their goals of Union membership. Though they may not have a lot of photos together, their work has been captured on film with some movies being almost halfway decent! They hang out outside of work too ; )
Patrick McPherson
Best Man
Patrick is Kyle’s Best Man and longest friend. They met all the way back in pre-school and instantly hit it off (they pretended to be goats and started eating grass). Kyle credits Patrick as one of his funniest friends and is grateful for his ever present sense of humor. The two played sports and acted in plays together throughout high school. Nowadays Patrick is kicking ass at one of Atlanta’s premiere advertising agencies. Although they don’t see each other as much these days, they always pick up right where they left off, a testament to the strength of their friendship. Thanks for being my best man, Patrick!
Kris Rehl
Officiant and member of the Groom's Party!
Kris is Kyle's oldest sibling, who did the dirty work of breaking their parents in so Kyle could get away with more stuff growing up! Kris now works as an accomplished TV writer in LA! Kyle has many fond memories with Kris. From N64 gaming marathons to wild nights in LA while Kyle was visiting in high school, Kris always introduced Kyle to exciting new experiences. Since he was a kid, Kyle has admired Kris, so naturally when Kyle graduated college he decided to move to LA to pursue his dreams too. Kyle will always appreciate Kris’ guidance and influence on his life. Thank you, Kris!
Tyler Rehl
Groomsman
Tyler is the middle child and Kyle’s older brother. Tyler always looked after Kyle growing up and the two had many adventures together including: building an entire paintball course and renovating the tree house to be the ultimate man cave. He also routinely destroyed Kyle in backyard tackle football. Tyler has since become a loving father of 3 beautiful girls and a wonderful husband to his wife Kate. Tyler has worked studiously to become a CPA and is currently in the process of securing his MBA. Kyle still looks up to Tyler and hopes to become as good of a father as he is one day.
Tommy Wakefield
Groomsman
Tommy is one of the first friends Kyle made in LA. The two have been producing various comedy shows together for the past 5 years. The trauma of producing shows on a weekly basis has truly bonded the two for life. Tommy is a sweet goofy guy and is always a joy to be around. Tommy is also a talented musician and I recommend you check out his music group Run the Fools! Here’s to Tommy for being such a great friend!
Aaron Monte
Groomsman
Kyle met Aaron through the comedy scene in LA and instantly knew he had a new friend. He’s naturally charismatic and funny. And on top of that, Aaron’s one of the best people Kyle knows. He always brings positive vibes to the hang which is much appreciated! Aaron is a teacher and produces the show Vino Underground with Kyle (you should check it out sometime). Oh yeah he’s also in Run the Fools with Tommy! Aaron is dope and you should talk to him if you see him at the wedding you’ll make an instant new friend!
Max Castillo
Groomsman
Max is one of Kyle’s best buds and is a #influencer as well! Max is an all around great guy who makes funny videos that appear on Kyle’s feed and makes him jealous! In all seriousness, Max is a very down to earth guy who works hard and inspires Kyle to do the same. Recently, Max was kind enough to organize a Dungeons and Dragons group with Kyle so their friendship is like, pretty much solidified at this point. Max, welcome to the wedding party!
Yaki Margulies
Groomsman
Yaki is one of Kyle’s best buds in LA! This guys 100% a sweetie pie and a great actor too! Yaki’s been in a ton of national commercials! You’ve definitely seen him if you ever watch any sport. Yaki is also a very funny comedian who regularly slums it out with Kyle at the local open mics. Yaki’s a super supportive friend and is always there to help or talk and Kyle is very thankful for him! If you see Yaki at the party introduce yourself you won’t regret it!
Nick O’Brien
Groomsman
Nick is Maddie’s youngest brother and Kyle’s soon to be brother-in-law! Nick is a successful financial consult who lives in New York. Nick and Kyle mainly talk about sports but Nick honestly has a lot of good takes and Kyle respects his knowledge of the game so the two can go on for hours. In all seriousness, Kyle has gotten to know Nick pretty well over the past few years through many Catan battles and he truly feels like another brother at this point. Thanks for being so welcoming, Nick!
Mac O’Brien
Groomsman
Mac is Maddie’s brother who lives in Colorado. Kyle will always appreciate Mac for teaching him Settlers of Catan (a game that has since ruined many friendships in Kyle’s life) Mac is a computer wiz (I’m not sure what he does) and just received a bachelor’s in computer sciences. Kyle and Mac have been on many family trips at this point to many places. During one of these trips Mac witnessed Kyle struggle through 18 holes of golf and for that Kyle will be forever indebted to him. Thanks for your patience, Mac!
