Charlie & Katie
Wedding Party
Angie Rhoades
Best Woman
Angie is more than just the bride’s sister, she’s her closest confidante. They share every detail of their lives, chatting constantly and always have each other’s back. Growing up, their playful squabbles (yes, there may be a rumor that Angie once tried to push her sibling out of a moving car) only deepened their bond. Beneath all the mischief though, there was a also a lot of love. When Katie was scared to fly for the first time at nine, Angie transformed a day at the public pool into a “turbulence training” session, wildly mimicking the bumps of a plane ride in her arms. She didn't just ease Katie's anxiety that summer, she sparked a spirit that made for a lifetime of fearless travel. Bold, fun-loving, and armed with a biting sense of humor, Angie is also a devoted animal lover and avid foodie. Today, as the bride’s “left-hand woman,” she reminds us that no matter the turbulence, family always sticks together (but don't even think about giving her a hug!)
David Mitchell
Best Man
Meet Dave, the groom’s older brother, a world-class executive chef, and the undeniable culinary genius of the family. While Charlie mastered the art of music, Dave was busy perfecting the art of flavor, though both agree that food and music have always been at the heart of their best memories. Growing up all over the country, they experienced new places, different flavors, and different sounds together, shaping their love for creativity and adventure. With a wit as sharp as his knife and his heart as big as a tomahawk steak, we're honored to have him stand next to us on this momentous day.
Ally Hockman
Bridesmaid
Ally is the bride’s cousin, but more like a little sister. When she was born, the bride was eleven and convinced she would resent having a new baby in the family. Instead, she fell in love immediately, and Ally became her first lesson in unconditional love. Wildly smart and endlessly witty, Ally has a knack for picking up any skill she sets her mind to. Beyond her sharp mind, she has a kind heart that makes her uniquely "Ally." Having her as part of this day is just one more reminder of how lucky the bride is to have her in her life.
Aaron Norell
Groomsman
Aaron is the groom’s longtime friend and the singer of their bands. Over the years, they’ve spent countless days at Charlie's house and hanging out at the "Barn", creating music that could only come from a tight bond. Aaron’s energy and raw talent as a singer have always set him apart, and his creative spirit is a huge part of what makes him such a unique and memorable presence. Whether they were playing to a packed crowd or just having a blast in the barn, Aaron and Charlie have created a legacy of unforgettable moments.
Katie Roberts
Bridesmaid
Katie has been the bride’s best friend since almost the moment they met at the age of ten. More than just sharing a name, they share a unique way of thinking, so much so that they were often accused of sharing a brain in their school days. With a mutual love for Tori Amos, great beer, and spirited debates, every conversation between them is an adventure. Beyond being a treasured friend, Katie is also the devoted mother of Emerson and Simone, the bride’s beloved flower girls and goddaughters. Their bond has only deepened over the years, making Katie’s presence by the bride’s side on this special day all the more meaningful.
Stewart Neal
Groomsman
Stewie is the groom’s longtime friend, who first crossed paths while Charlie was doing live sound. What started as a professional collaboration turned into a friendship, as they worked together on future shows and even teamed up for an episode of MTV’s My Sweet 16! Beyond music, Stewie and Charlie found common ground in their shared love for computer science, proving their bond goes beyond just the stage. Story time! On Stewie's first ever camping trip, they spotted the eyes of a mountain lion in the dark. They immediately jumped in the truck, locked the doors, and were convinced they were being stalked by it. After a while, Stewie bravely spent the night in his ground tent—again, his very first camping experience! Bro -- Legend
Kory Fischer
Bridesmaid
Kory and the bride have been best friends since middle school, building a bond rooted in loyalty, laughter, and looking out for each other. The kind of friend who would drop anything to help, Kory was always ready to step in against a creep on the dance floor back in the day and she’d do the same against any threat now. She has an infectious laugh and a way of making everyone feel as though they’ve known her forever, even if they’ve just met. Her fierce friendship and big heart make her an absolutely essential part of this celebration.
Jason Taylor
Groomsman
Some friendships are forged in quiet moments, Jason and Charlie’s was built on roaring amplifiers and the buzzing of guitar strings. Side by side in the same band, they played, wrote, and jammed their way through years of music, turning late-night gigs, and countless rehearsals into lifelong memories. From electrifying guitar lines to laughter that never missed a beat, they've always been in perfect harmony. Now, Charlie is honored to have Jason by his side once more, this time, without the guitars (probably).
Avery Fischer
Bridesmaid
Avery is the bride's "Niecelet" (aka Kory’s daughter) and a force of her own. She inherited her mom’s humor and her dad’s laid-back attitude. An artist, snowboarder, mountain biker, and all-around adventurer, she excels at just about anything she decides to give a try. A true music enthusiast, her taste spans far beyond her years—just like her personality. Wise, creative, and always up for something new, Avery brings an effortless cool and a big heart to the celebration and we're honored to have her a part of it.
Danny Bedford
Groomsman
Danny and Charlie’s bond was forged in music, with Danny on bass, Charlie on Guitar. By day, they crisscrossed the Bay Area, breathing life back into commercial ovens, their hands covered in grease, their heads filled with the next song idea. By night, they chased inspiration, writing, jamming, and losing track of time in the best way possible. Years of shared rhythms, road trips, and unshakable friendship bring Danny here today. Danny will stand by Charlie's side once again as they celebrate another unforgettable moment.
