Will & Kenneth
Wedding Party
Juliet O'Connor
Best Woman
Juliet (Jully) has been my best friend since we were in middle school. We have been in countless shows together: "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat", "Aida", and our star turn in "Kiss Me, Kate" (of course!) We even co-directed a play in high school! I was honored to be her Best Man at her wedding and thrilled she will be my Best Woman at mine. Love you, Jully!
Michael Willeford
Best Man
I've known Mike since birth and that's because he's my big brother! He's one of the best athletes I know and I've always looked up to him. All these years later and we've enjoyed many tasty beers together, many awesome sporting events (like Barry Bonds hitting #756 and "The Pick at The Stick"), and he gave me one of the greatest privileges in my life which was being the "Best Man" at his wedding. Life keeps getting better because now I get to be Uncle to his kids Mason & Emma! Good job bro!
Mary Glen Fredrick
Groomsperson
Mary Glen (or, MG) and I met in grad school at UCSD. She is a Cancer and wears her heart on her sleeve and I love that about her. She is one of my all-time favorite actors in the world and we have collaborated on many projects together including "Vieux Carré", "Machinalia" and the infamous La Jolla Playhouse production of "Up Here." (Mary Glen played Polka-Dots and Tap-Dancing Cactus #3). I love you so much, MG and can't wait till our next collaboration which I have a feeling is very soon!
Jamie Willeford
Groomsperson
My big sister Jamie has always supported me and she even inspired me to move to San Diego! We have surfed together, explored New York City together, and conquered dodgeball leagues together (she is insanely good). Jamie also basically passed college for me so thanks for that! She is ridiculously fun to hang with and I'm thrilled to have her as a Groomsperson. Oh and Jamie, Will and I want you to know that we love your dog Bella but she is NOT invited to the wedding! Love you sis!
Taylor Hess
Officiant
Tay and I have been friends since the Ayn-Rand-obsession-of-our-early-twenties-phase began. We lived together for two years on West End Avenue in an Upper West Side studio built for one and somehow managed to get even closer. She nursed me through a sunburn that was "worst than childbirth" (found this quoted in a Google search) and she has always believed in me as a director. I couldn't think of a better person to marry me and Kenny. We are so lucky she said yes. Thank you, Tay!
