Wedding Party
Madison
Maid of Honor
Hello! My name is Madison and I have the privilege of being Taylor’s little sister and her co-maid of honor. Taylor and I grew up not only under the same roof, but in the same tiny room. We shared clothes, shoes, makeup… we shared everything together. Taylor was always the one I turned to when I had boy troubles, girlhood advice, or when I needed someone to lean on. Now I get to celebrate this wonderful new chapter in her life.
Andrew
Best Man
Hello my name is Andrew Traber and I have the honor of being Brandon’s best man. Brandon and I go way back to a little place called Monte Vista Elementary School. I have had the extraordinary opportunity to grow up alongside Brandon. As the years passed by we grew closer and now I am lucky to call him one of my best friends. From playing football together, to hitting the gym, to going to college together, it is safe to say he is like a brother to me. We have been there for each other for all the meaningful parts of each other's lives and I have seen his relationship with Taylor blossom to what it is now. It has been amazing to watch and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for both of them!
Ailyn
Maid of Honor
HI EVERYONE! My name is Ailyn and I am Taylor’s Co-Maid of Honor! Although I have known Brandon since we were twelve years old, I immediately fell in love with the person Taylor is. I was fortunate enough to meet Taylor freshman year of high school and we immediately clicked. From that moment on we have been completely inseparable. She quickly became my best friend and I have never been happier. We bond over absolutely everything from books, to television series and movies, to even food…lots and lots of food. Our bond is something that I know will last forever. True friends are hard to come by, I am lucky to call both Brandon and Taylor my two best friends and my family. Andrew and I cannot do anything without them. They will always be our first choice for everything whether it is planning a trip across the country or for just a weekend away, to trying out a new restaurant, going to see a new movie, or even a date night in. I cannot wait to see the adventure they are about to embark on and all the amazing things to come!
Jaden
Groomsman
What’s up guys my name is Jaden, Taylor’s little brother and now brother in law to Brandon. But I wouldn’t consider him and I to be In laws as he’s been a brother to me and a part of my family for what it feels like forever now. The first memory and most memorable memory I have of Brandon is when he came over to my house with Taylor and all of her friends. He was hitting a 0 nic vape on my dad’s couch and my first thought was “who does this guy think he is” but the more and more Taylor brought him around I realized he was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met and knew he would be perfect for Taylor. As a brother, someone like Brandon is all I could’ve ever asked for to marry my sister.
Paige
Bridesmaid
I had the greatest fortune of sitting next to a very smart and very cool looking girl on the front row of Chem 1030 in the Chemistry building in Auburn. Little did I know, that girl would go on to become my very best friend. Taylor and I went on to take every science class - and eventually every class together for the next four years. We switched majors together, decided on PA school together, and eventually lived together for two years. Years of movie nights, adventures, jokes, gifts, dance parties, decorating for holidays, and dancing in the rain. She has been the best, most thoughtful, kindest friend I have ever known and I am honored and thrilled to participate in celebrating her wedding to Brandon, a day she and I have been waiting for and talking about for six years now.
Idean
Groomsman
Hey everyone! My name is Idean. I'm Brandon's former football teammate, current golf teammate against our rivals Leo and Andrew, one of his childhood friends, and now his jeweler. Brandon and I spent a lot of time together in our younger days. My favorite memory with Brandon isn’t a single one, but a time period during sophomore year of high school in which I didn’t have a license. Brandon, as kind hearted as he is and always has been, would go out of his way to drive to Glendale and pick me up everyday for summer football. Afterwards we would end the day together with Taylor in a friend's back house watching as the clouds would roll by. I’m excited to be able to be a part of this journey Taylor and Brandon are beginning to embark on, and I’m eager to see where it takes them!
Jasmyn
Bridesmaid
Hi :) Taylor and I are cousins, but growing up she was the sister I never had. We were always there for each other as kids, teens, and young adults. I can’t wait to continue to be there to support her through this next big step. Brandon is one lucky guy!
Ellis
Groomsman
Hey, I’m Ellis! Currently, I am a police officer in the city of Riverside. I’ve known Brandon since seventh grade. I met Brandon when I walked up to his house and knocked on his door. I needed to use someone’s phone since mine was dead. Brandon answered the door with an Xbox controller in one hand and 20 pound dumbbell in the other. We’ve been good friends ever since! Anyone who knows Brandon knows he is extremely nice and generous. Any issue I ever had, Brandon has always been there to help me out. Brandon and Taylor are a perfect match! I am super excited for them to start the next chapter of their lives!
Sarah
Bridesmaid
One of my biggest blessings from Auburn was being roommates with Taylor. From late night Sonic runs, her making fun of how I cut strawberries, the many movies, to letting me have a sleepover when different roommates were being mean to me, I couldn’t have imagined my college experience any other way. Being on the opposite side of the US has been so hard, but I’m so excited to watch her marry the love of her life (and another occasional roommate of ours)!!!!!
Myles
Groomsman
My name is Myles! I live in San Diego with my girlfriend, Melissa. I went to high school with Brandon and Taylor. I have known Brandon through many phases of his life: from his Yeezy reselling days, to his modded Camry days, to Boogies bros, to his Spartan racing days, and now to his time as a soon to be married man! Brandon is one of my closest friends and an amazing man.
Shelby
Bridesmaid
I have known Taylor since we were 12 years old playing AYSO soccer. We got to go through high school together and I have watched her become the woman she is today. My favorite memories with Taylor range from soccer practices and games, to coming home from college every break to catch up on the life we missed living on opposite sides of the country. Any memory with Taylor is a memory that involves smiling, laughing, and a feeling of home.I am so proud of who she is and can’t wait to be a part of her special day.
Leo
Groomsman
Hey! I’m Leo Ohandjanians. A little about me for those who don’t personally know me is that I’m an aspiring medical professional pursuing my dream career as a surgeon. I’ve known Brandon since middle school and we eventually separated paths during the college years but always stayed in touch. The most special thing about our friendship has been that no matter how often or seldom we spoke, it always felt like we had just seen each other the night before when we got back together. I want to share one of my favorite memories from years of close friendship with Brandon. One of the most memorable times I’ve had with him was when we were in German class together and had to put together a cooking show for a class project. I remember we chose to make a German potato salad and it got to the point of mixing it all together and we looked at each other stumped about what to mix with while the camera was rolling, and simultaneously decided it’d be best to mix it with our bare hands instead of using a utensil, not thinking about how the entire class was to try our cooking the day of our presentation and it ended up getting a good laugh out of it!
Cassidy
Bridesmaid
I met Taylor on our first day of high school in Mrs. Greenway’s English class, and we were immediately best buddies. From classes, to club soccer practices, high school soccer practices, to loitering in Montrose, or even to having (semi-serious) food fights that my mom had to break up… we were attached at the hip, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way! Taylor has, and will always be, the most generous, tenderhearted, and intelligent person in any room. Knowing Taylor is truly a gift, and I am so grateful to have her as my best friend/sister. We’ve been dreaming about your special day for over a decade, and I just can’t wait to be a part of it!! I love you both to bits and pieces!
Chris
Groomsman
Chris Zedlar - I grew up with Brandon, I’ve known him since 4th grade or 5th one of them lol. A fun memory with Brandon was when we thought it was a good idea to spray paint plasti dip on the side of my car with flames and numbers on the side to make my 1997 ford explorer that barely ran into a race car. It was a fun time and I still laugh about it when I think about it.
Sierra
Bridesmaid
I met Taylor in high school through soccer. When I met her she had a knee injury that took her out for a season. I learned then that Taylor is persistent in the hard things and a heart to serve others expecting nothing in return. Those characteristics have continued to be true about her all these years laters.
Hovannes
Groomsman
I’m Hovanes, I’ve been friends with Brandon & Taylor since highschool. I love hanging out with them, and I’ve made great memories with Brandon and the boys on our boys trip
Erika
Bridesmaid
Hi Everyone! My name is Erika and I am so thankful to be next to Taylor on her and Brandon’s special day. Taylor and I met quite recently in August 2023. I swear it was a forever friendship at first chat. We quickly bonded as we began USC’s PA program together, with more in common than we could ever imagine. (Seriously, it’s kind of creepy how much we bonded over in about 15 minutes of conversation). While most of our time has been spent together at school, we still couldn’t go our short winter break without seeing each other at least 4 times. Fast forward a few months and Taylor has become one of my closest friends. I am so thrilled for Taylor and Brandon to mark the start of their forever through marriage. I wish them nothing but love, health, respect, and success! Cheers to the Beardts!
Saylore
Groomsman
Hello! My name is Saylore and I’ve been lucky enough to know Brandon since 4th grade. From countless hours online together, the nights drinking and playing games together, summer days hanging at the pool, to the weekend trips and much more, it’s been nothing but good laughs and good times since then. Although I’ve had endless good times with this fine fella, one of my most favorite memories with Brandon is the summer of the boogie bros. For a whole summer all me and him and everyone else did was go to the beach multiple times a week to just hangout and boogie board. We all bleached our hair or put lemon juice in and just embraced the kook lifestyle, it was probably one of my favorite summers ever.
