Idara Udo
Bridesmaid
Idara is an incredible, dear friend to both Casey and Josh. She has been a friend that Josh could depend on and has been a huge encouragement to him through her love of people and her love for God. Though Josh has been close friends with her since college, she has endeavored to grow her friendship with Casey, which since has thrived into something great. From going to the carry-out and enjoying some ice cream from Ritas, she has been there more times than none with prayer, advice, and fellowship. From watching Disney movies and having deep conversations about life with Josh to now staying up until 12am watching thrillers with Josh and Casey have been moments that have not been taken for granted. Some fun things about her--she is currently in pursuit of her RBT to support young kids, she loves serving others, and is a great cook :). Her love for seafood is unmatched and her seafood boils are something you wouldn't want to miss out on. We are blessed to have her join our wedding train. Cheers for our awesome bridesmaid!
Ugochi Ezenwachi
Bridesmaid
Ugochi, aka Gucci, brings Casey so much delight, fun, spontaneity, and wisdom. Casey & Gucci's friendship began about three years ago at a mutual friend's dinner party. Since then, both girls have made many memories together. They have found themselves at David's Tent, a 24/7 house of prayer in DC, meeting new missionary friends, at Casey's house making random tiktoks or trying new foods from local restaurants. One thing Casey admires most about Gucci is her effortless wisdom. Gucci is one of the best listeners and knows how to bring Casey back to reality. To top it off, Gucci is an amazing makeup artist with an eye for soft glam and natural glow. Casey is blessed to know Gucci and to have her serve as a bridesmaid.
Katherine St Martin
Bridesmaid
Katherine, AKA Kat, is one of Casey's amazing friends. Casey & Kat became closer about three years ago after Casey helped throw Katherine a surprise birthday party. Since then, Kat has been a crucial part of Casey's community. It's no surprise that Katherine played a huge role in helping Josh coordinate Casey's super surprise engagement. Kat is a giver, and loves to serve others. Being fellow educators, Casey & Kat have bonded over the daily high's and low's of serving youth. Lastly, Kat is a lover of people, Jesus and SPADES! Lol, play at your own risk with this one, or you might leave a sore loser. Casey is thrilled to have Katherine be a bridesmaid and a forever sister-friend.
Stephen Ayres
Best Man
Stephen has been close friends with the groom since they arrived as freshmen in college. He and the groom both devoted their lives to Jesus that year and became friends that same semester. Though Josh says when he first met Stephen he thought he was a serial killer trying to hide with a hat, fortunately, that ended up not being true lol. Over the years they fellowshipped and supported one another in their different seasons. And even as Josh is starting his union with his new bride, Stephen has been there to support them. Some cool things about Stephen, he is currently a teacher and has been supporting the youth for the past year. He has an anime channel named "Anime Manga Reviews, and he loves deep conversation. So, if you see him, bring up the atonement of God lol. We are blessed to have him in the bridal party! Cheers to the Best Man!!!!
Justin Pedro
Groomsman
Justin, a.k.a Pedro lol has been in the groom's life since his college years. He's actually the hand that God used to bring Josh to salvation. It was his knock on the door that got Josh to come to a bible study where he began to commit his life to Jesus. Justin has been a big brother and a friend to Josh and has been extremely dependable. He has supported Josh through a lot of seasons and is still supporting him as he starts the season of marriage. Justin is a guitar player and a guitar teacher. He recently got engaged to his wonderful Fiance Breasia Deal. So pray for him ya! We are blessed to have him join us as a groomsman! Cheers to the groomsman!!
Bryan Michel
Groomsman
Bryan, a.k.a Brother Bryan. He met the Groom during his college days. Though not being in the same year, Bryan has been a big brother and a friend to Josh. He has been someone who humbly shared his wisdom and his support, which in turn has been such a big help through a lot of moments in Josh's life. Bryan is a teacher, a lover of anime, and serves in his church faithfully. It's Bryan's lovable personality and his big smile that makes him a fan favorite to many. He is also a costar of 4guys&AMic with Josh. He has been a great supporter of the Groom and the Bride, and as Josh has entered into a new moment in his life we celebrate Bryan for walking with the couple as they enter into marriage. Cheers to the Groomsman!!
Sylbert Bedward
Groomsman
One thing you will hear Sylbert say is "I am the reason you are together LOL". For it was he who introduced the idea of having our podcast recorded at Casey's house, and where the love story began for the Bride and the Groom. Sylbert was also one of Josh's friends in his college days and it was in those days when Sylbert's car was the 1 am move with oldies jamming as we sang along. It was then Sylbert and Josh's friendship began. As the years continued Sylbert was the friend who called often to check on Josh to make sure he was good and send him funny comics. He has been a supporter of both the Bride and the Groom. And now we celebrate him as a groomsman. Cheers to the Groomsman!!!
Tale Ojeabulu

Talelelelele! Tale is one of Casey's bestest friends, one of Josh's bros, and the true life of the party. Tale has been a big support for both Casey and Josh. Josh and Tale have bonded through their love of podcasts, anime and music. Most recently, you will find them talking about the challenge of Elden Ring or the new Attack on Titan episode. Casey and Tale's friendship is filled with constant laughter, joy and fun. Casey & Tale love to send each other tiktoks, group facetime with friends and occasionally get a bite from their favorite spot, Mcdonald's. Just kidding, you'll find them at Korean BBQ.
