Wedding Party
Matthew Paver
Sean's Best Diva
Sean and Matthew met at their freshman year dorm, Queen's Court, at Fordham University. They are each other's "babes" and have spent many nights flawlessly belting out all the parts to "One Day More," attending Broadway and West End shows, and eating fried chicken. They share a love of Tiffany "New York" Pollard, Celine Dion, and Regina Hall's performance as Brenda in "Scary Movie."
Michaela Brennan-Deatherage
Sean's Best Little Monster
Sean and Michaela met the second day of freshman year at Fordham University. Since then she's been a complete and total blight on his life with the occasional exception of seeing Lady Gaga live together several times. They are still shocked they both survived their time living together senior year at HQ where The Court was birthed.
Mike Burns
Sean's Best Ugly Lady
Sean and Mike met freshman year at Fordham University when they performed together in a production of "Urinetown." Since then they have spent their 19 years of friendship being, among other things, coworkers, Gaga stans, travel buddies, and, most frequently, accusers of who is the ugliest lady between them (it's him).
Raquel Rodrigues
Sean's Best Downtown Darling
Sean and Raquel met at their freshman year dorm, Queen's Court, at Fordham University. Sean was the officiant at her wedding in 2023 and Raquel was there on New Year's Eve when Sean and Kevin got engaged. They are East Village family and share a passionate love of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sex and the City, Moulin Rouge, and falling asleep on friend's couches after a few martinis.
Ivana Horvat
Kevin's Best Sis
Ivana and Kevin met in their apartment’s swimming pool when they were 6. Both only children, they became like siblings to each other and grew up together in Portland. They made movies and played spies, ran around for hours, and played endless rounds of MASH (Kevin is still waiting on that mansion). Ivana is always down to have fun and the two of them have certainly had some over the years! A dedicated friend who defended Kevin when he said he wasn’t gay (even though he clearly was), she’s had his back like only a sister could.
Justin Oswald
Kevin's Best Hoe
Kevin became fast friends working with Justin at Lindsey Adelman Studio where they worked together for many years. A fiery spirit who’s not afraid to tell the truth, Justin has been a real one over the years. Always down for a romp around town you could say “ok last round” is something of a catchphrase for the two of them. Thank God for 24 hour pizza and that tall blonde hoe.
Clare Hearns
Kevin's Best Beach Babe
Kevin met Clare during her internship at Lindsey Adelman Studio and only on the last day did he realize: “Ok wait. you’re amazing!" 14 years later the two are still amazing (obvi). Clare is effortlessly cool and always a good time. She's a real one from the Garden State and she's always got your back (like literally she knows how to get your whole back with sunscreen so you don’t get burned). Kevin looks forward to many more years of Beach Babe realness.
Matt Jacobs
Kevin's Best Muppet
Kevin and Matt met while working at Lindsey Adelman Studio and became quick friends. Matt introduced Kevin to disco and the greater world of legacy nightlife culture in NYC and he was instantly hooked. Always ready with a dad joke and a hot track, Matt has been there burning holes in New York City dance floors by Kevin’s side. As boss as Miss Piggy, this Muppet knows what’s up.
Camila Mize
Officiant
Sean and Camila met at their freshman year dorm, Queen's Court, at Fordham University on move in day. Since then Sean has been transfixed by the love, energy, and support Camila has brought to their relationship. They have shared countless nights at the opera and lifetimes of cosmic connections. This first thing that Kevin and Sean agreed upon when it came to the wedding was that Camila should be our officiant.
Avi Horvat-Dreisin
Ring Bearer
Avi is Kevin's nephew. A total sweetie and an avid pin ball enthusiast who pulls off a print-on-print look like no one else. Avi is a burgeoning dance floor talent that Kevin is nurturing in to a future dance floor diva.
Josie O'Connor
Flower Girl
Josie is Sean's niece and goddaughter. Like Sean she has a lot to say, has a lot of opinions, and loves to perform, so her casting as flower girl was natural. She loves Minnie Mouse and the Lady Gaga book her Guncle Sean got for her.
Lex Perez
Flower Gay
Lex and Sean met at a Fordham University and have been each other's "dear" ever since. They have a tradition of celebrating Pride annually with JUDYFEST, have spent many nights passionately debating the merits of Madonna's performance in "Evita," and have many memories (and lack-thereof) of vacations on Fire Island.
