Catherine & Sean
Wedding Party
Christy Reeves
Maid of Honor
Best friends since high school where their mutual weirdness and love of cats naturally brought them together. After years of singing in cars, driving to nowhere, and literally just sitting around talking and laughing, it's safe to say Christy knows Cathy better than almost anyone. Their cats will also be best friends when they finally meet one day.
Benjamin Thomson
Best Man
Sean met Ben in high school English class. Back then, Ben went by the name "Full Stop," a testament to his skills as a hit-man (probably). Sean spent many years essentially living at Ben's house until Ben moved to California, placing several highly inconvenient time zones in between them. Sean drunkenly told Ben that he was going to be his best man at the going away party and now here we are!
Sarah VanderBok
Bridesmaid
Sarah has been in Cathy’s life since day one, when she was so excited to have a sister she hid her behind a couch. Sarah once summarized the entire plot of LOTR to her, which really started Cathy's love of nerdy things. Cathy is extremely happy to have her sister standing with her as she embarks on this new adventure with Sean.
Ryan Beasley
Groomsman
Ryan has known Sean his entire life. In the early days Ryan called Sean "War" and they tried to kill each other multiple times. There is a lot less attempted homicide now, and Sean is happy to know Ryan not only as a brother, but a close friend and a good man.
Jessica Beasley
Bridesmaid
It's not often someone lucks out so much in the sister-in-law department. Trips to Iceland and England, pushing Nathalie through haunted houses, and bonding over the absurdity of their spouses have made Jessie and Cathy very close. Cathy is happy to know Jessie not only as a great friend, but as a sister. Jessie will be bringing a new member of the Beasley family into the world around the time of the wedding. Though she won't be standing with us, Cathy still wanted it to be known that Jessie remains a bridesmaid in our hearts.
Aaron Beasley
Groomsman
Aaron has known Sean his entire life (it's funnier the second time!). In the early days Aaron called Sean "Shez" and Sean tried to instill existential crises in Aaron's everyday life. These days Sean and Aaron are close, and look forwards to every time Sean visits back in NJ
Nathalie Peralta
Bridesmaid
Nathalie and Cathy have become very close in the 5(?) years she has been dating Sean's brother Aaron. Freezing their butts off in Iceland, eating espresso beans to stay awake in England, using Nathalie as a human shield in haunted houses, being bridesmaids together and crying over sappy movies are just a few of the memories shared. Cathy thinks of Nathalie as a sister as well as an amazing friend.
Joshua Beasley
Groomsman
Josh has known Sean his whole life (three for three!). In the early days, Josh would call Sean "Ryan" and Sean would bodily throw him onto couches. In more recent years, Sean has appreciated seeing Josh grow up to be a fine young man, and is happy to have him standing near the altar this important day.
Katie Sundstrom
Bridesmaid
Cathy interrupted Katie's voice lesson and they were instantaneous friends! Cathy believes Katie is sunshine put upon the earth to warm everyone's hearts. Katie is a member of Braid Club, an avid Gossip Hour listener, workaholic and was the actual host of many movie nights and dinners that Cathy ended up hosting. The most common thing you'll hear Cathy and Katie say to each other is "I love you!"
Scott Flood
Groomsman
Scott is Sean's oldest friend, both in time known and physical age. Sean and Scott have spent most of their lives together, creating imagined worlds and utterly absurd inside jokes. Scott is one of the few people that always knows *exactly* what Sean means, no matter what he says. Scott is also a dear friend to Cathy. Both Sean and Cathy frequently refer to "When Scott finally moves up here" as an anticipated future.
Justine Lancaster
Bridesmaid
Justine and Cathy were on the same path at William Patterson University. Founder of the Braid Club and college movie nights, Justine was also the mastermind behind their study sessions, Gossip Hour and endless hours of not practicing when they should have been. Cathy couldn't imagine a wedding without Justine and her Selena-inspired dance moves.
Evan Van Alstyne
Groomsman
Sean met Evan in college, even though they didn't go to the same one. They share many interests; such as videogames, high fantasy literature, D&D, and drunkenly discussing politics. Sean and Evan have managed to maintain a very good friendship in spite of rural internet issues getting between them.
Christopher Geno
Groomsman
It's actually hard to pinpoint when Sean met Christopher "Geno" Geno. He was a friend of a friend that then became a friend in his own right. Geno is a passionate and hilarious person. He is also an extremely genuine person, and Sean is happy that he managed to randomly befriend him.
Eric Hanken
Groomsman
Eric also known as "Eric Hanken Tanken Spanken" or "Removah." Is one of those friends life surprises you with. Sean was prepared to jealously dislike Ben's good friend from college, but was unable to avoid liking Eric immensely. Though they do not always have the same end view, Eric and Sean tend to think in similar ways. Sean fondly remembers several times that he and Eric were arguing against an entire party of other people.
