Tiffany Ann & Andrew
Wedding Party
Norah Watchorn
Flower Girl
Tiffany's youngest niece, a fierce but sweet ball of energy. Incredibly fast whether on the ice rink or the soccer field, rumour has it that she snuck into the 2024 NHL Allstar game and deked past McDavid to score on a breakaway. Loves to play with her big sister and reigns as queen of boardgames. Andy's favourite memory of probably his entire life is witnessing Norah unabashedly drop a watermelon on the floor and casually walk away. Find her after dinner curled up on Aunty's lap for some post-meal snuggles (just watch out for the white dress, Nor!).
Hannah Watchorn
Flower Girl
Tiffany's first niece, a creative artist and loyal big sister. Humble about her many skills - could teach Andy a thing or two about kicking a soccer ball, is basically a Cirque du Soleil acrobatic in training, and can build entire intricate Lego worlds. Tiffany has incredibly special memories of babysitting Hannah as a baby on her many visits to Golden, BC, and is usually sporting a signature Hannah bracelet on her left wrist. Enjoys birthdays. Find her at the candy bar or tearing up the dance floor to Dua Lipa.
Nathan Chiles
Bridesman
No, is not actually PSY (hit singer of "Gangnam Style") but will still try to convince you otherwise. The only brother and second middle child, Nathan is ambitious at heart, loves a bet, and is everybody's friend. With a background in business, his 30-something-year-old tendencies now include long distance running, grilling meat, and airsoft. Outgoing and a brave dabbler of stand-up comedy, will do anything in his power to make you laugh, especially if it involves embarrassing his little sister in public.
Gord Pustina
Groomsman
The eldest (and only) brother of Andy, a combative man, who once asked for a wand more powerful than any in existence. Gord is a fun loving spirit, who also doesn't mind a spirit or two. Be sure to avoid him if you don't feel like having a laugh or a good time at the wedding. He currently resides in Denver, Colorado with his dog Mackey.
Steph Chiles
Bridesmaid
Token second child Steph has crafted the perfect blend of laid back and anxious AF. Biggest accomplishments include earning her Master's of Education, her two fluffy kitties, and being able to stand up after a leg-numbing 10-hour session of marking homework. Tragically knows more about 90's punk music than Andy. Is probably the artist behind Banksy but will deny if you ask.
Kris Caldwell
Groomsman
Kris and Andy attended high school together in Tampa, where they both studied and loved algebra. That love of algebra blossomed into a lifelong friendship. Many of their younger years were spent attending concerts and throwing discs (not banging chains until many years later though!). Kris could talk the hind leg off a donkey if it got him to speak about music, or 1990s Atlanta Braves baseball/Florida Gators football. He was last seen giving a wedding speech that started off by calling the bride the wrong name. Kris currently resides in Tampa with his wife Courtney and two daughters.
Jess Chiles
Bridesmaid
Running on 100% efficiency, this hardworking supermom is a living model of the birth order theory. Runs ultramarathons up mountains for "fun". Her lifelong dream is to beat Andy at Trivial Pursuit. Did you know she's a doctor? Only has 2 kids and volunteer roles so has a lot of spare time, please call or text (778) 210-0489 with any medical question, day or night.
Jerin Hobbs
Groomsman
Andy and Jerin met on their first days at UBC. Both very studious, they found it would be best if they lived together to push each other's limits of academic achievements. That led them to beautiful Vancouver rentals ranging from "crack shacks" to "crack houses". Jerin currently resides in Cumberland on Vancouver Island with his wife Monica, and only a couple blocks away from his parents. Andy and Jerin still talk to each other to this day.
Angeline Chiles
Mother of the Bride
At a towering 5'2'' (she says 5'4''), she was the tallest player on her grade-school basketball team. Favourite pastimes include spending time with her children and granddaughters, telling stories about her work abroad, and wearing fleece vests. Will bake Christmas cookies for you in the middle of summer. Legend goes that if you rub her head three times and bow, you will inherit her ageless skin.
Lorna Kerr
Mother of the Groom
Named like the Lorna Doone cookie, one that we assure you exists. Lorna is slowly coming to grips with the fact that Smithers has no pickleball courts, and will only have the option to play tennis 2 or 3 times a day. In her spare time leading up to the wedding Lorna is trying to put together a trivia team on the off chance a trivia night pops up while in town. She currently lives on Saltspring Island without any pets.
Terry Chiles
Father of the Bride
Survivor of raising 4 children, somehow still manages to have better hair game than Tiffany even on a bad day. This man always knows how to pick the best-tasting cantaloupe, and bonus: will also cut and prepare it for you. Willing to share a pot of coffee with you at any time of the day or night, but we love him for many more reasons than that.
Petr Pustina
Father of the Groom
Originally visited British Columbia in 1968, found it wasn't of his liking so he left some 30 years later. Andy and Tiffany have had many wonderful winter trips visiting him in Prague over the years. If you are lucky he will whip up some of the best meals you ever ate, Andy was lucky enough to indulge in Kuřecí řízek during his formative years.
Lucy Yuan
Candle Lighter
Became fast friends with Tiff as residence narcs at UBC. The duo holds the world record for number of bacon-wrapped perogies consumed in a single sitting. Tiff knew Andy was the one when she realized he was the white male version of Lucy, matching her love of trivia, fantasy sports leagues, dodgeball, and movie lore. Biggest flex: voted hottest Jeopardy contestant of season 36 on Reddit. Fun fact: if you make an impression on her, in 8 months you could be a featured character in her 12 chapter, 20 photo instagram post about the wedding.
Greg Burpee(sp?)
Candle Lighter/MC
Greg, or Grog, as he prefers, is the token slam dunk champion required at any wedding to make it official. His favourite meal is hummus. I once forgot a Hallowe'en costume at Grog's apartment in Vancouver and he still texts me to come pick it up. The apartment has since been converted into a women's shelter, but the rooftop patio remains the same. I once coined a formal event we had as a "five-mal" event and I think he still is beat up about it to this day for not thinking of it first. He is thriving in Toronto alongside his wife Zoseph and daughter Lenny.
