Brandon & Cassidy
Wedding Party
Anthony Dove
Best Man
Those of you that know Brandon, most likely also know Anthony. Anthony is Brandon's older brother. Brandon and Anthony were both competitive and loved sports growing up. They were always close as kids but as they grew up that brotherhood turned into an even stronger friendship. He's one of the main reasons Brandon went to San Diego for school since Anthony was at USD, and if he never would have done that he never would have met Cassidy at SDSU. They have lived together, traveled the world together, and Brandon is honored to have him by his side on this day.
Kaitlyn Newman
Maid of Honor
Cassidy has known Kait since their freshman year at SDSU. Their friendship stemmed from the slow realization that although they are so different, they are also very similar. They had many great memories during college and lived together for three years, both on campus and in Pacific Beach. One of their friendship traditions became going to Coachella each year, and in 2019 they both met their future husbands there on the exact same day when walking through the campsites. Cass was Kait's Maid of Honor in their wedding last year.
Brandon Tran
Best Man
B Tran has been one of Brandon's best friends since they met in PIKE at SDSU. Brandon met B Tran at the first house he lived in at SDSU. At first he was crashing on the couch but then he became a roommate. They immediately got along and realized they had similar interests and personalities. They ended up living together for the remaining years at SDSU. They've traveled together and have a ton of amazing memories from college and post-college. B Tran was the one who convinced Brandon to go to Coachella in 2019, and he was the one who introduced Cass and Brandon at the campsite.
Katie Hall
Bridesmaid
Cass first met Katie in December of 2019 when Brandon's friend, B Tran, brought her to a pregame at Cass's apartment. Cass liked Katie right away. That New Year's Eve the four of them snuck into a venue in downtown San Diego because their bar hop wristbands matched the ones for a rooftop DJ. Since then they have shared many vacations together with the Brandons, from ski trips in Tahoe and Colorado to trips to New York City.
Jordan Newman
Groomsman
Brandon met Jordan at SDSU through PIKE. They lived together and traveled to South East Asia during college. Jordan recently got married to Cass's Maid of Honor, Kait, in October last year. The 4 of them all met at Coachella in 2019, where Cass and Kait were introduced to Brandon and Jordan. Kait and Jordan own a condo in Carlsbad, and even though Cass and Brandon live in Seattle they still find time to see each other throughout the year.
Kylee House
Bridesmaid
Kylee has been one of Cass's closest friends since freshman year of college. Kylee was one of the first girls that Cass met in G Phi, and they had a lot of fun at sorority functions over the years. Cass even has a photo of the two of them from a dance their freshman year with "#futurebridesmaid" in the caption on Insta! They lived together their junior year, and after college they shared a room in a house in Pacific Beach. Kylee still lives in San Diego but they get to see each other a few times a year during trips with their friends.
Spencer Swigart
Groomsman
Spencer is one of Brandon's oldest friends, they met in elementary school and have been close ever since. They both played basketball competitively throughout their childhood, in high school and for a brief time together in college before Brandon came to SDSU. One of Brandon's favorite trips they took was a road trip up to Montreal from Seattle right after high school. Spencer has a passion for film and is currently living in LA pursuing that dream. They still try to see each other often and take lots of boys trips together.
Briana D'Aquino
Bridesmaid
Cass has known Briana since the day she was born. Their moms became friends in their 20s and Briana was born on March 14th a year before Cass on March 11th. They shared countless birthdays as kids, Cass's favorite was the cowgirl theme party for Bri's 4th/her 3rd birthday. They have way too many cringy home videos that they made with their little brothers when they were young. Even though Cass doesn't get to see her often enough, she is like a sister.
Collin Bitter
Groomsman
Brandon met Bitter through PIKE at SDSU. They were roommates for three years, and throughout those years they grew really close and realized they had a lot of similar interests. Brandon always enjoyed Bitter's hilarious personality. They lived together post-college in Pacific Beach and have a lot of great memories from that time. Bitter now lives in Utah, where Brandon and Cass have come out to visit for ski trips.
Sydney Daily
Bridesmaid
Syd and Cass met in 2015 when Syd came to SDSU. Before sorority rush, Cass met her on campus and clicked with her so fast. It wasn’t a surprise when Syd chose G-Phi and later became her little!! The two of them had some fun fratting days and lived together after college in North Park. Even though they live far apart now, Cass is happy to still call her one of her best friends.
Clayton Holm
Groomsman
Brandon met Clayton in 6th grade where they played junior tackle football together. They had an immediate friendship that still lasts today. The two of them continued playing sports together all the way up until high school. They had a ton of great memories growing up and maintained that friendship throughout college even though they went to separate schools. Clayton went to UW and Brandon went out to visit and go to the frat parties, and funnily enough, the first time Brandon and Cassidy hung out after Coachella, Clayton was in town visiting. Clayton now lives just a few blocks away from Brandon and Cass in Seattle.
Amanda Canter
Bridesmaid
Cass has known Amanda since freshman year of college. She is one of the most optimistic people and always brings such a positive energy with her. They've gone on countless girls trips with all their friends, and Amanda always makes it fun! They shared a room during junior year, even though she was only there half the year before she spent time abroad. Since then she has continued to travel and experience the world which makes Cass glad to see her during the few times a year when they can get together!
Drew Maras
Groomsman
Brandon has know Drew for a long time, they grew up in the same area, but never really started hanging out until after high school. Brandon started hanging out with Drew through Clayton, when he would visit UW. He would also see him over the summers when Brandon was back in Washington on break. They have played together in Hoopfest basketball tournament every year. The two of them are golf partners and beer die partners when they play with the boys (to this day Clayton and Spencer cannot beat them in either of those). Drew lives just down the street from Brandon and Cass right now, and they get to see him and his girlfriend frequently.
Nate Bell
Officiant
Nate and Cass met their freshman year of college, they lived across the hall from each other in the dorms and would often hangout at each others suites with all their suite-mates. Nate joined PIKE and later met Brandon. The two of them became close friends and lived together over the years. Nate and his wife now live in Washington so Cass and Brandon get to see them often, doing things like holiday dinners, ski days, and playing pickleball together. Nate is one of the nicest, most wholehearted people and has been an amazing friend to both Cass and Brandon.
