Tim & Patricia
Wedding Party
Patricia Bradley
Bride
I'm ready for a lifetime with the guy that I only ever thought was just going to be my best friend... making music, rescuing dogs, being the Pam to his Jim, falling in love with our surroundings no matter where we go, endlessly laughing and goofing off, helping each other live our best lives as individuals and as a couple, and infinite much more.
Tim Struven
Groom
I can't believe that I get to marry my forever adventure buddy, my best friend, and I'm so excited to share the special day with the most special people in my life! Here is a tip for Patty's side of the family that might not be aquatinted with me yet: take Jim from The Office, throw in some saxophone and a beard, and there you go!
Lauren Bradley
Bridesmaid
Younger sister of the bride and subject to making all her sweet-tooth cravings for the special day. I've been around from the start of Patricia and Tim's relationship, seeing how it progressed from "we're just friends" and "totally not dating" to "we're moving to New York and getting a dog together" and now "we're getting married"! I couldn't be happier that they found each other and give the other such love and support and will continue to do so.
Alex Johnson
Groomsman
Originally from San Diego, I moved to Long Beach in 2010 to attend CSULB. 2 years later, Tim started at CSULB and we instantly became tenor sax "bros". My college girlfriend/ now wife/ fellow saxophonist loved Tim like a bro from the get go and we became a happy tri-o. Tim and I spent many hours talking about reeds, mouthpieces and the best altissimo fingerings in the practice rooms at school. There have been many burgers and beers with the bros over the years after late night shedding sessions. In April 2018, Lauren and I got married and Tim was our best man, or shall I say, "best bro." Best of luck to Tim and Patty for a long, happy, loving life together!
Cheryl Peterson
Bridesmaid
Tim (not his real name; his real name is Timba, The Boy, or BratBoy ... ask him to sing you his theme song) is my little bro. I was 15 when he was born, so ya, I changed his diapers, but let's not make this weird. He's a fantastic dude and I'm so thrilled that he found such an amazing gal in Patty. DANG are they cute together!! They even hold hands when they're snorkeling. So honored to be part of their big day, and so stoked to celebrate these two!
George Sam Symons
Groomsman
Born and raised in the Bay Area where I met Tim at Junipero Serra HS, and then received my Undergraduate and MBA from Purdue University. I’ve recently moved back to The Bay Area from Orange County after 8 years, and I now work in finance at CareDx inc. I love to travel and have been to a new country every year since 2012 (looking forward to another in 2020). My passions are playing soccer and flying airplanes in my free time!
Jennie Turman
Bridesmaid
I am so excited for this wedding! I was 13 when Tim was born, and I even had his crib in my bedroom for a while (lots of dirty diapers and flying pee, but he was still the cutest baby ever). When I first heard he was bringing a date (just a friend, but still a date) to our sister's wedding I will say I got excited! When I finally saw them together I had a feeling...Tim and Patty got along so well as best friends but we all had our fingers crossed that they would end up dating. Woohoo! It happened! Now let's get these crazy kids hitched. Thank you so much for including me in your special day.

I'm a Sage and Anatta-naut, focusing primarily on sound and insight meditation. I met Patricia and Tim during my Master's at CSULB and could see their bond was already as tight as Gorilla Glue. I'm deeply honored to share this day with them.
