Brooke & Sean
Wedding Party
Taylor Brassard
Bridesmaid
Brooke and Taylor met while in class at SCAD and at first, didn't really hit it off. It wasn't until modeling together they actually become friends. They bonded over a love for fashion, you guessed it, Disney, weddings, and social media, and how could I not mention she was my Co-Covid Bride! Brooke is so excited to have Taylor as a bridesmaid!
Trish Cliatt
Bridesmaid
Brooke's first friend when she moved to GA in 1998. We bonded over sleepovers, temporary tattoos, and a bear named Boris. And it didn't hurt that we were the most outgoing people in our first grade class. After 1st grade we both moved to other schools but stayed in touch all the way through high school. After falling out of touch for 10 years, we reconnected and it was like no time had ever passed. I'm so thrilled that we found each other again and the you'll be standing by my side.
Leslie Ginter
Bridesmaid
Brooke and Leslie were introduced through mutual friends from SCAD and basically had every single class together after that. We have spent many days and nights up working on projects and have been inseparable (literally because we had one class room) ever since. Leslie is such a ray of sunshine and Brooke is so grateful for her constant friendship over the years. Also, it's Leslie's birthday over our wedding weekend so make sure to wish her a Happy Birthday!
Caroline Jones
Bridesmaid
Caroline is more my sister than my friend. We met while students at Atlanta Ballet, but please don't ask me what year we met... I have no idea. We always just say we've known each other forever. I am so excited to have you standing with me on this special day!
Imani Joseph
Bridesmaid
Brooke and Imani met when Imani joined the Atlanta Ballet and bonded over their ballet teacher's lack of love for them both. Since then, we have been best friends. From their love of Disney (and impromptu road trips to Orlando for auditions) and theater to their weird sence of humor, they just get each other. Brooke is thrilled to have her by her side on this special day.
Carolina Monestel
Bridesmaid
Carolina and Brooke met while modeling at SCAD. They bonded initially over a love of Disney and then sealed their friendship one night over cocktails, sushi, and cheesecake in Savanah for a show. Carolina has always been a constant source of kindness and laughs and Brooke is very grateful for their friendship and thrilled to have her as a bridesmaid.
Bailey Rader
Bridesmaid
Bailey and Brooke met while in an art class at SCAD and were instant friends. Bailey's sweet soul and kindness is a constant source of positivity and joy. Brooke is so honored to have Bailey standing by her
Jenna Robinson
Bridesmaid
Jenna is Sean's little sister and from the start Jenna has been so warm and fun to be around and Brooke is so happy to have her as a bridesmaid and is even more thrilled to finally have a sister!
Steven Dotson II
Best Man
Steven is Sean's older brother and has played that role perfectly in Sean's life. Steven and Sean were inseparable for almost 10 years while being home-schooled together, playing football and baseball, skateboarding, and much more. Sean has always felt lucky to have an older brother go through life ahead of him so that he could have a role model to look up to. Steven had a heart of gold and never hesitated to lend a helping hand. Steven was meant to be one of Sean's Co-best men, but sadly, Steven unexpectedly passed away in July of 2021. Words cannot express how deeply he will be missed by his friends and family.
Sean Wagner
Best Man
Groom' Sean met 'Wagner' Sean in one of his first classes after transferring to Georgia Tech. The friendship began through recreational sports that resulted in Sean joining Phi Kappa Theta fraternity. The Seans have bonded over the last 8 years at fraternity events, playing sports, and rocking out as roommates. Sean D. is incredibly honored to Wagner as his Co-Best Man.
Gabriel Carvalho
Groomsman
Gabe and Sean met while both were active in Phi Kappa Theta. Gabe and Sean spent countless hours making memories together and bonding over shared life experiences. Some of Sean's favorite memories with Gabe are travelling cross-country in his mini cooper to help Gabe move to Portland, motorcycling across the West coast, and travelling around Europe after graduation. Sean is very grateful to have this amazing friend as one of his groomsmen.
Joe Cavins
Groomsman
Joe and Sean met during a drafting class during Sean's first semester of college. After having a few classes together here and there, we began spending time away from Georgia Tech together. Whether it was going to a pool hall, grabbing a few drinks, or becoming 'locals' at the nearby wing spot (Wagner included), Joe has always been a blast to be around. Rooming together with Joe for the last couple of years has been unfogettable and Sean is thrilled to have Joe as one of his groomsmen.
Greg Dean
Groomsman
Greg has been one of Sean's longest friendships that dates all the way back to beginning of Sean's skateboarding days. There were several years where we wouldn't go more than a few days without skateboarding together. Some of my earliest memories were sleepovers at Greg's place to wake up before sunrise to go make skate videos and staying overnight at the local skate park lock-ins. While Sean may not be nearly as comfortable on a skateboard these days, he is very still very grateful to have Greg as a friends as one of his groomsmen.
Shreyas Kousik
Groomsman
Shreyas and Sean became friends while both active in Phi Kappa Theta. Shreyas and Sean bonded on multiple fraternity trips, motorcycle rides, and late nights talking about life. Shreyas has been a source of laughter, kindness, and puns over the years. We had the opportunity to watch the eclipse together on a mountain and several scooting stars while on the beach. Sean has felt incredibly privileged to be friends with Shreyas and honored to have Shreyas as one of his groomsmen.
Edward Martinez
Groomsman
Edward and Sean met on the football field in an after work league when Edward filled in for a game. Our team quickly realized we needed to invite Ed to the team if we were going to win any games! The first team together led into 15 or so other leagues together. Ed and Sean still get together whenever they can to grab some beers around Atlanta so Ed can try to pull Sean out of football retirement. Sean is fortunate to have such a genuine friend in Ed and very happy to have him as a groomsman!
Gavin Rinaldo
Groomsman
Gavin and Sean met while at Georgia Tech while sharing a similar path of structural engineering. We ended up graduating with our Bachelors and Masters degrees in the same year. We were able to extend our friendship while working together for several years before moving onto different structural engineering firms. We've been able to keep up over the years and talk shop along with some much needed motivating talks. Sean is thrilled that Gavin will be joining him as a groomsman.
Josh Stewart
Officiant
Josh and Sean met through a mutual friend for the cheapest bowling ever. Josh quickly become a big part of Sean's life through playing football and volleyball, getting Sean scuba certified, and some of the cheapest pitchers in Atlanta. Josh has been an expert in getting Sean exploring places outside of Atlanta from dive trips to Fort Lauderdale and Bonaire to road trips across Ireland. Sean is lucky to have met Josh and proud to have him as one of his groomsmen.
