Wedding Party

Ben Boudreau

Man of Honor

Sophie's big brother and a real jack of all trades. There's no telling where he'll be or what he'll be doing at any given time (he's lived everywhere from Austin to Ontario to Chile), but he's one of Sophie's greatest role models. Also, he had a rat tail until the age of 15, which he still dreams about.


Rachel Syens

Bridesmaid

Sophie's BFF and a semi-pro Timothee Chalamet stalker. She and Sophie met in a local theatre production as kids, reconnected in high school, and have watched over 800 hours of trashy reality TV together. They’ve also been known to blow off steam by driving down the streets of their hometown while intermittently screaming out the window like banshees. Above all else, though, Rachel is joy personified. It would be impossible to design a kinder, funnier, more loyal pal.

Emma Orczykowski

Bridesmaid

Sophie's cousin and lifelong partner in all things bizarre - just ask the poor family members who had to be around the two of them during their formative years. As kids, Sophie and Emma were always doing something ridiculous or making home videos. As adults, they've been lucky enough to travel extensively together (including a recent family genealogy trip to Western Europe, during which they delighted in admiring an assortment of 16th century toilets and narrowly avoided being kicked out of a London walking tour due to their inability to stop chortling at nothing in particular). No one makes Sophie laugh like Emma does.


Colleen Carol

Bridesmaid

Sophie's cousin and a total freak in the most wonderful sense of the word. In the 90s, Colleen had a super cool punk haircut that inspired Sophie to cut her Barbie's hair off and deem it the "Colleen Barbie." She's a fantastic listener, a hilarious storyteller, a talented attorney, a great mom to her two boys, and a true birthday cake aficionado. Also, check out the Duran Duran shirt in this photo.

Isabelle Moore

Bridesmaid

One of Sophie's closest friends and confidantes for more than eight years. Upon meeting, she and Sophie immediately realized that they were freakishly similar and have been kindred spirits ever since. Their shared passions include eating Peeps, practicing obsessive sun safety, and spending hours in line just to get a slight discount on a Chipotle burrito. Isa is well-rounded in the most impressive ways and exudes compassion - it's basically impossible not to love her.


Reed Kelly

Groomsman

As one of Wilson's oldest friends, Reed has been there for it all - the ups, the downs, and the sideways. Much like the rare unicorn, Reed is one of the most original people you'll ever have the chance to meet. If you want to have heartfelt conversations until 3:00 am or if you want to go the park and just people-watch, Reed will do it all. However, even his most stalwart friends will confess that Reed's obsession with alternative 90s music means that maybe he shouldn't be in control of the Spotify playlist. If you ever get him talking about Smashing Pumpkins, maybe throw in a suggestion that he listen to Elton John or something. But hey, if that's what it takes to be friends with one of the most loyal, hilarious, creative, and caring people, so be it. Don't ever change, Reed.

David Paul

Groomsman

As one of Wilson's oldest friends-turned-roommates, David is always the necessary ingredient to make something into an unforgettable experience. His skills in friendship are surpassed only by his skills in making tacos and his depth of knowledge about jam bands. He's also an asset during hourlong bus rides because of his flair for convincing people with uncomfortably full bladders (e.g., Wilson) that they're closer to a bathroom than they actually are.


August Nyson

Groomswoman

August is a person who, like the month, makes anyone feel her warmth and kindness the second they meet her. Also like the month, she is the perfect mix between summertime and cool, crisp autumn. What we're trying to say in this clunky metaphor is that August is one of the loveliest people who also happens to be exceedingly cool. Along with David Paul, Wilson and August lived together for two whole years, during which time they had many adventures, including: battling unhinged neighbors, coming up with absurd songs, and discussing music that no one but themselves seems to enjoy.

Cameron Dean

Groomsman

Wilson's older brother and the Dean family's resident expert in all things Star Trek, Cameron is making the long trek from Dutch Harbor, Alaska, along with his wife, Meg, and their adorable daughter, Morwenna. If you don't know where Dutch Harbor is, just watch an episode of "Deadliest Catch" on the Discovery Channel and you'll have a pretty good idea. Thankfully, Cameron's not a fisherman. Otherwise, we'd be a lot more worried for his wellbeing. We love you, Cam. Try not to take up fishing between now and the wedding, please.


Natalie Reider

Groomswoman

Natalie is, without question, one of the most empathetic, fun, and compassionate people you'll ever have the chance to meet. One of Wilson's longtime friends, she is the go-to person if you ever need to vent, hear a kind word, or receive an uncomfortably specific Tarot card reading. Just recently, Natalie mentioned to Wilson off-handedly that she "spent the last four months trying to nurse a feral kitten back to health." If that doesn't exemplify the best bits about her - that she's caring, dedicated, and just weird enough to be cool - then I don't know what could.

Tilly

Cat

Tilly is obviously not in the wedding, but she is our cat and you all need to look at how cute she is. JUST LOOK!
