Wedding Party
Anne Demme
Bride
Anne hails from Washington state in the glorious Pacific Northwest, and has the vampirically pale complexion and in-depth knowledge of salmon and volcanoes to prove it. She moved to Nashville for a job opportunity in 2021, and has enjoyed building a life in Tennessee. Anne loved Josh right away, but confirmed he was several leagues above the average Hinge date when he stayed on the phone for over 25 minutes to give her step-by-step driving directions around a stopped train en route to their third date. Take note, ladies and gents: there's nothing more romantic than a man who knows how to skillfully navigate local infrastructure!
Josh Kleppin
Groom
Josh is living proof that the musician-to-attorney pipeline is alive and well. He grew up on the shores of Maryland, and came to Nashville in 2009 with a set of drumsticks and a dream. Josh toured as a professional drummer for five years, before pivoting (read: selling out) to the noble profession of law in 2018. He knew Anne was the one the day he met her, exclaiming "I can't believe you exist!" on their first date. In fact, he never learned to play it cool. He was often guilty of oversharing a plan or dream for their future together before catching himself to add: "well - if this is to continue, of course."
