Beatrice & Andrew
Wedding Party
Dylan Kyle
Best Man
"My 1st BestFriend" Dylan is Andrew's younger brother. Dylan is the biggest sports fan Andrew knows and is the first person he wants to talk about all the drama in the NBA. They have always been there for each other through thick and thin, and he always knows Dylan has his back. His favorite memory with Dylan was going to a Mavs-Thunder game in college. They rode scooters to the game, got to watch Luka, Paul George, and Russell Westbrook; and it was super fun! Even though the Mavs obviously won and Dylan did not say a word the first 30 minutes home. There is no other guy that deserves the title of Best Man more than Dylan.
Marjorie Nguyen
Maid of Honor
"The Favorite (Former) Roommate" Marjorie is Bea's older sister and one of her biggest inspirations in life. She has followed her passion since the 3rd grade and will undoubtedly see it through to amazing ends. As sisters, Marjorie and Bea shared a room for many years and to this day, that's where many of Bea's fondest memories begin and end. However, there are some that only begin there since Marjorie is famously known for falling asleep 10 minutes into a movie she requested to watch. Nonetheless, as both have grown and matured, their relationship has grown with them and spanned across distance, different colleges, and different careers. Bea's vision from her childhood has always had Marjorie as her Maid of Honor and now that dream is becoming a reality!
Adrian Berube
Groomsman
"The Pledge Brother" Andrew & Adrian met through Sigma Nu as pledge brothers. Both being two of the older people in their pledge class, they were able to connect and grow as leaders in their fraternity. After spending two years in the fraternity, Adrian lived with Tanner and Andrew last year. Adrian is that friend that everyone wants that you know would always be there to back you up and that you know you could depend on. Adrian was also always down to go to Fry Street, even when he had to work at 5 a.m. the next morning.
Sadie Nguyen
Bridesmaid
"The Personal Stylist" Sadie is one of Bea's younger twin sisters and the most stylish person that Bea knows. She is famous in the family for needing a new outfit or pair of shoes to show her self-expression--even if it meant taking another 20 minutes before we could leave. But Sadie is always rocking a new fashion trend and ready to jump in the car to go anywhere, even simple errands. Many of Bea's fondest memories with Sadie come from the times she spent at home from college sharing a room with her. Sadie was always willing to have Bea and Kumu stay with her and they stayed up for hours on end catching up on each other's lives and the latest drama. Having Sadie's company for this wedding and her sense of style is priceless.
Seth Saunders
Groomsman
"The President" Seth is probably the smartest and one of the genuinely nicest guys Andrew has ever met. Seth and Andrew are fraternity brothers, and Seth was the president for the majority of the time Andrew was a member of the chapter. After college, Seth moved in with Andrew, Tanner, and Adrian, along with his dog Jazzy, before going to medical school in Galveston. Seth is a guy who is always down to talk basketball or video games, or to say something ridiculous to lighten the mood in a tense situation.
Sophie Nguyen
Bridesmaid
"The Trainer of Many Things" Sophie is one of Bea's younger sisters and the second piece to the set of twins. Her stories of success are endless as she continues to conquer any and every obstacle in her path with immense strength, grace, and determination. She is Bea's fellow dog mom as they have a lot of similarities with how they treat and talk to their dogs. However, there is no doubt that Sophie's dog is way better trained than Bea's. One of Bea's fondest memories with Sophie is watching her passion come to fruition at a cheer competition in Fort Worth in February 2020. Sophie had found a second home with this team and a place where she could explore and showcase her passion for cheer. To have Sophie stand with Bea on her wedding day is a dream come true.
Luke Maher
Groomsman
"The Partner In Crime" Luke was Andrew's first friend when moving to a new high school, and they have been best friends ever since. They bonded over their love of sports and video games, and have been able to maintain this friendship since high school. They formed some great memories hanging out after basketball games and drinking beers with friends. Luke is the only guy, aside from Andrew's brother, who he knew would be by his side for his wedding someday down the road.
Jessica Fisher
Bridesmaid
"The Instant Friend" Jessica is one of Bea's best friends from her time at UT Austin. She met Jessica in her Children's Literature class during her first semester at UT. Jessica was so kind from the start that she and Bea quickly became friends and had almost every class together from that point on. They did find their differences along the way though. For example, Jessica is WAY more of an outdoorsy person than Bea, no doubt about it. Even still, Jessica is one of the first people who truly understood Bea's passion for teaching and that's why their friendship is so special. Jessica had Bea as part of her wedding in 2018, and Bea can't imagine her wedding without Jessica as part of hers.
Tanner Shields
Groomsman
"The Money Man" Andrew & Tanner met in college through their fraternity, Sigma Nu. Andrew rushed in the fall and Tanner the following semester. They were later roommates after graduating college along with two other fraternity brothers. Andrew has always considered Tanner to be the responsible roommate, and have never met someone more responsible with their money. Tanner has always been a guy to depend on and Andrew had no doubts about wanting him in the wedding. (It also helped that he was the only other Cowboys fan in the house)
Jasmine Hashemi
Bridesmaid
"The Missing Piece" Jasmine is also one of Bea's best friends from her time at UT Austin. Even though they met a little later there, it feels like they have been friends for many many years. Jasmine shared a class with Bea and Jessica as well as an organization on campus for teachers. Jasmine is truly the missing piece to Bea's friendships and the "Trio" as the three came to be called. She is a second person that understands and shares a passion for teaching. Jasmine is a hard-working, inspiring friend and comes by it honestly, Bea is forever grateful for the time she shared with Jasmine's family before student teaching one year. Since then, their friendship has grown and become better than ever, and Bea cannot wait to share her wedding day with such a special friend.
Kumu
Dog of Honor
"The Trusty Co-Pilot" Kumu is Bea's loving Corgi. He's three years old and the best co-pilot ever--for long car rides to Austin and back and for life in general. Although he can be too smart for himself sometimes, he makes up for it with his huge personality. He has shared a lot of big life moments with Bea in the last few years, and the wedding wouldn't be the same without him. We'll see how that goes...
