Sydney & Joshua
Wedding Party
Rachael Nichols
Maid of Honor
Rachael, Sydney, and Josh met in college. When Sydney and Rachael moved to New York for law school during Josh's senior year, it only made sense to live together. What was supposed to be only one year turned into three, bonding the trio forever. While the three may not live together anymore, they are still the best of friends and after living in a small apartment with the couple for years, Rachael has earned her place as a Maid of Honor.
Loghan Thain
Best Man
Loghan is one of Josh's oldest friends, having gone through many of life's stages together. While their paths physically separated during and after college, the two have made their way back to each other, both living and working in New York. Through the years, Loghan has supported Josh in all his endeavors and Josh is honored to have Loghan supporting him now as his best man.
Mollie Serafini
Maid of Honor
From teammate to sorority little to roommate to skydiving buddy to lifelong best friend, Mollie and Sydney have truly been through it all and are excited to venture together ever onward!
Eric Bianco
Groomsman
Josh and Eric met living in the same dorm their freshman year of college. Since then, Eric's fun-loving, eccentric spirit has kept Josh and all their friends thoroughly entertained. Their venturous exploits span from New Orleans across America, through national parks and Mardi Gras parade. Wherever they go, these two are bound to have fun.
Rachel Davis
Bridesmaid
Growing up, Sydney and Rachel were alike in so many ways that people often mistook them for identical twins, including at Sydney's Bat Mitzvah when people kept congratulating Rachel on a job well done. Years later, these "twins" still have similarly fun and quirky personalities, but at least now you can tell them apart. Even now with miles between them, Sydney and Rachel will always have a special connection.
Justin Bleiweis
Groomsman
Justin and Josh became close sophomore year when Justin signed up for Josh's college consulting group, eventually becoming a leader in the organization. Their shared ambitions grew into a life-long friendship filled with constant support and encouragement for each other. Never was the case more true than when Josh met Sydney. Justin has been waiting for this wedding for as long as Sydney has and Josh cannot wait to have Justin by his side on their big day.
Catherine Grimm
Bridesmaid
Sydney and Catherine first met Sydney's Freshman year at Tulane. She spotted Catherine’s sorority letters in Bruff Dining Hall, introduced herself, and sat down. Catherine didn’t have the heart to say she was just leaving, so she skipped class and made a best friend instead. They've bonded through sorority drama, bad breakups, and a deep love of tequila and desserts. After surviving law school, Sydney and Catherine celebrated with a trip to Greece proving that no amount of exam stress, distance, or near-hostage situations can tear apart this friendship.
David Kaplan
Groomsman
Before college, a mutual friend connected the two future roommates. During their initial meeting, the two drove a test electric car around an escape room course under the New York Post Office setting the stage for countless bizarre adventures to come! Though they now live across town, David and Josh are still just as close and share stories with each other just like they did across their dorm room.
Chika Ifediora
Bridesmaid
Chika and Sydney met as teammates on their college cheerleading team. Chika has always been someone Sydney can turn to for anything and everything and knows she'll be there to catch her when she falls (figuratively or literally out of a stunt). Chika has her finger on the pulse of all things exciting and fresh which makes her the perfect go-to friend and bridesmaid. Even though they graduated long ago, Chika will always be on Sydney's team.
Matthew Norden
Groomsman
When Josh was in 7th grade, he toured a new school where he met his guide for the day, Matt. While on the tour, the two clicked instantly, bonding over football and chatting away during classes which landed Matt in detention during Josh's tour. It has been a decade of non-stop laughter and fun for these two and Matt can't wait to be by Josh's side for Josh's biggest adventure yet.
Sarah Rankin
Bridesmaid
When the cousins were little, Sarah used to care for a much younger Sydney while the two were vacationing together in Europe and Aspen. Sarah now lives in Aspen full time but still cares for Sydney just like she always has. When Josh came into Sydney's life, Sarah immediately welcomed Josh into the family and became particularly close with him by showing him the same love, guidance, and warmth that she has always shown Sydney.
Brandon Struthers
Groomsman
Brandon and Josh met living on the same notorious floor their freshman year. The budding entrepreneurs were always coming up with various side businesses together, inspired by their introduction when Brandon was trying to sell Josh an overpriced, unnecessary shirt commemorating the chaos that was their floor. Despite the odds, they survived and are now stronger for it. With that bond of brotherhood, their friendship has taken them all around the U.S. and has survived a pandemic, crazy ex-girlfriends, new jobs, multiple moves, and will carry them through this next chapter in Josh's life together.
Helena "Leni" LaBar
Flower Girl
Leni was born at the height of the pandemic and during a hurricane, yet neither a plague nor a storm could keep Sydney and Josh away from meeting their new baby cousin (at a safe distance outside the window). Ever since, the couple cannot get enough of Leni's fun-loving, wild, and playful spirit and are so excited to have Leni leading the way as their flower girl on their wedding day.
Tammie Clarke
Matron of Honor
Tammie and Sydney have always shared a particularly close bond. Tammie waited 34 years for a baby sister so when Sydney was born, she was delivered into the pink quilt that Tammie had specially made in anticipation of her birth. Since then, the two have been thick as thieves and the best of friends. On Sydney's wedding day, Tammie will lead the "Something Blue Crew" as Sydney's Matron of Honor.
Nicole Kadoch
Something Blue Crew
After serving as Nikki's self-declared maid of honor, Sydney is thrilled to have Nikki as one of her bridesmaids. Even though Nikki did not make a 20-page powerpoint presentation explaining why she deserves to be a bridesmaid like Sydney did for Nikki's wedding, Sydney couldn't imagine her wedding day without her cousin by her side.
