Wedding Party

Henry Redman

Groom

Notorious for being the loudest person in the room as well as an instigator of many shenanigans, Henry always deserves Smurf bites. A Clevelander at heart he works as a newspaperman writing about Wisconsin politics, enjoys film photography and watching literally any sport all year round. He never jumps off cliffs and excels in his ability to eat chicken wings in one bite.

Claire Stoddard

Bride

Claire is an Ironman running, prank planning, Halsey listening nurse who loves to lay on the floor with the dog, drink honey whiskey and drive Henry crazy with smurf bites. The Illinois native can add an extra syllable to nearly any word and a little bit of chaos to everything — whether she's wearing a giraffe onesie to a brewery or dancing on the furniture.

Sam Redman

Best Man

Sam is the brother of the groom, an engineer, he hopes to save the world from climate change. Famously disloyal to Big Ten sports teams, he's the steady rhythm section of world renowned rock band Basement Spam. He enjoys solo cross country road trips, national parks and being right.

Lindsay Stoddard

Maid of Honor

The cousin of the bride, Lindsay is six months older than Claire. A musician, she lives in Milwaukee where she works for concert venues managing shows for all kinds of artists. Famous for her penguin obsession, creating P-Force and the loudest scream at Apple Canyon Lake.

Ian Stoddard

Groomsman

The brother of the bride, Ian likes to take long showers, run into parked cars and shouldn’t be trusted around ghost peppers. The frat president of the wedding party, he can’t decide if he prefers soccer or rugby — he likes bof ‘em.

Remy Gerew

Bridesmaid

Basically the future sister-in-law of the bride, Remy and Ian are middle school sweethearts. Currently working as a scribe at a mental health hospital, she is heading to med school in fall 2023. A former softball player and sorority president, she’s been given a bat and is responsible for keeping the wedding party in line.

Kyle Scheuring

Groomsman

A college roommate of the groom, Kyle (and his questionable literacy) lives in Arizona where he works for Arizona State University. The king of funk, and the resident of the dorm room where Claire and Henry met, he loves to DJ parties on his turntables and will be monitoring the dance floor to make sure your moves are up to snuff.

Almasa Duheric

Bridesmaid

A college roommate of the bride, Almasa begins her medical residency in summer 2023 and plans to be an ER doctor. Known for her obsession with Carrie Underwood and her and Claire’s shared love of Halsey, she’s hard to keep out of Nashville and pools with her clothes on.

Chris Hacker

Groomsman

Former managing editor of the groom, Chris and Henry ran the school newspaper together in college. Currently making sure your government isn’t up to no good for CBS News, he’s a notably chill dude. Loves a good meal and bonding with Claire in New Orleans.

Eleanor Matern

Bridesmaid

A college friend of the bride, Eleanor is a globetrotting travel nurse and the only member of the wedding party capable of keeping up with Claire in a distance race. When she’s not smashing cans on her head she can be found on a hike or cracking a sarcastic joke.

Anthony Terenzio

Groomsman

A college roommate of the groom, Tony is nearly indescribable. Known for flinging cucumbre, eating beans before road trips and laying down some sweet tones on his beloved guitar, he can only be contained by his wife Almudena.

Lauren Taylor

Bridesmaid

A college roommate of the bride, LT would rather be sailing. Unable to settle on a career path, she’s currently working as a nurse. She loves ice cream sandwiches, her golden retriever Remy and watching Bears games with Claire.

Chris Wiltowski

Groomsman

A college roommate of the groom, Chris is the legal representation for the litigious and/or criminal members of the wedding party. Also known as his stage name Arum, Chris makes music and is either on the phone or in the bathroom if you can’t find him at the wedding.

Bridget Randazzo

Bridesmaid

A college roommate of the bride, Bridget is also the wedding officiant. She lives in St. Louis with her cat Olive. Keep her away from butterflies but she’s happy to discuss the St. Louis Blues, plants and her marriage with Claire.

Nick Fowkes

Groomsman

A childhood friend of the groom, Nick and Henry met in kindergarten, where Nick sat at the red table and Henry at the Yellow. A high school teacher in Columbus, he loves baseball, hustling people at pool and buying souvenirs.

Kyra Kelley

Bridesmaid

A childhood friend of the bride, Kyra is a nurse who bleeds Michigan State green and white. Her and Claire met in the 6th grade and have spent most of their thirteen years of friendship being complete spazzes in ALL CAPS. She loves late night donut runs, rollerblading with Claire and a lot of cream in her coffee.

Joey Lyons

Groomsman

A childhood friend of the groom, Joey and Henry hosted their high school talent show together and they once wrote a rap song for every member of a class they weren’t in. Now he lives in LA where he makes movies and he would want to be invited if any member of the wedding party was getting their ears pierced.

Frank Pecot

Ring Bearer

Frank is the cousin of the groom and capable of turning into a tiger. A 5th grader from Cleveland, he loves to wrestle, play laser tag and rock the dance floor.

Charley Landyn & Emyrson

Flower Girl

Keith Stoddard

Father of the Bride

The Stoddard family’s resident audiophile, you can often find Keith competing with his brothers or fast forwarding through a Bears football game. Ideally, he won’t break any ribs, collapse a lung or have any chairs break beneath him during the wedding, but just in case he raised a nurse.

Kim Stoddard

Mother of the Bride

The sunshine of the bride, Kim taught Claire how to both cuss and craft. Don’t give her pop-it’s in a moving car, but if you see her without a black cherry Mike’s hard lemonade — fix that. Be sure to dance, dance, dance with her when "Should I Stay or Should I Go" comes on.

Bill Ford

Husband of the Mother of the Groom

Bill loves the Cleveland Browns, Liverpool Football Club and a bourbon whiskey. A former dad of the groom's soccer teams, Bill has retired from pacing the sidelines of northeastern Ohio soccer fields but now gamely sits there as his wife screams indiscriminately during Packers playoff games.

Laura Redman

Mother of the Groom

A former resident of Singapore, Wisconsin and a bunch of other places, Laura (now wholeheartedly a Clevelander) can help you find the best craft breweries in the Great Lakes and teach you the proper technique for rowing crew. A pediatric physical therapist, she’ll make sure there aren’t any trampoline-related injuries at the wedding.
