Sondra & Sean
Wedding Party
Laura Crossin
Maid of Honor
Sondra's best friend since 3rd grade. Laura and Sondra had early experience with wedding planning for the marriage of their golden retrievers when they were 10 years old. Carson & Ditty Forever <3
Ryan Dikdan
Best Man
Sean’s brother and oldest friend. His presence and personality are as vibrant as his hair. They share so many hobbies and love playing different, competitive games like smash brothers and magic: the gathering.
Katie Bartkovitz
Bridesmaid
Sondra's only maternal cousin. Katie and Sondra enjoyed putting on shows at family gatherings when they were little for the price of 25 cents a person. Katie was the choreographer of their dance performances and Uncle Dave (Katie's dad) has every performance memorialized on film. Hopefully those have gotten lost among all his other videos.
Omar Elfanagely
Groomsman
Sean’s best friend in med school. Taking a gap year together, they spent many nights eating wings and playing video games in their Newark apartment.
Arpana Paruchuri
Bridesmaid
Sondra's medical school roommate. Put together by chance Arpana and Sondra became close friends. They we're there for each other through the long nights of studying and the ups and downs of their love lives. Arpana and Sondra spent many nights watching the cheesiest rom-coms they could find.
Ben Jones
Groomsman
Sean’s co-resident, podcast co-host, and academic better half. They’ve been best friends since Heart Failure rotation PGY-2 year. Sean’s go-to person for all endocrinology questions.
Kelley Meyler
Bridesmaid
One of Sondra's closest friends from elementary school. One of Sondra's earliest memories of Kelley is dancing in Kelley's basement at her 50s-themed 10th birthday party. Laura was there too. And they all rocked those poodle skirts.
Parth Patel
Groomsman
Sean and Sondra’s designated third wheel. Parth has been a great friend throughout med school and in Philly.
Annie Tornabene
Bridesmaid
One of Sondra's closest friends from elementary school. Their group of friends (aka. The Thread/ Bosom Buddies) spent many Friday nights hanging out in Annie's basement talking about what boys they liked "if they had to pick someone" and rewatching Dirty Dancing Havana Nights.
Alvin George
Groomsman & Officiant
Alvin helped set up the back up Hawaii proposal and is Lacey’s favorite snuggle buddy. He’s been an amazing pandemic friend in Philly. He’s also suspiciously always around when Sean has to do a pericardiocentesis.
Lacey Corgan-Dikdan
Flower Girl
Sondra and Sean's beloved pooch! Unfortunately she won't be at the ceremony due to venue restrictions but she will be there in spirit! woof! :)
