Tim & Summer
Wedding Party
Thomas Piilani Smith
Best Man
From the biggest island of them all, Thomas is Tim's brother from a different mother. World famous Hula dancer from the Halau Hiikainamakalehua and best friend to both Jason Mamoa and Maui, Thomas enjoys long walks across lava fields and showing off how many malasadas he can eat at one time. The friendship and shenagains of Thomas and Tim span thousands of miles over land, sea, and time. Legend has it, Ancient Indigenous and Hawaiian comedy would not be where it is today without Thomas and Tim.
Jade Holden "Pepto"
Maid of Honor
Ex-actress and TV extraordinaire (yes this photo was taken off of MTV Paparazzi Shots), Summer's cousin Jade has been her best friend since birth. From countless sleepovers, shopping trips, and days on set, to laughing at everything and nothing, Jade has been a rock in Summer's life. When she's not killing it by saving her Physical Therapy clients, Jade enjoys long walks on the beach with her cousin, watching Tik Toks with her cousin, making Tik Toks with her cousin, and partying hard with...you guessed it, her cousin;)
Adam Khatib
Man of Honor
A brother, a best friend, and someone to always chain text at minimum 7 times before making his point, Adam will be walking Summer down the aisle on her big day. Be warned; he might sell you life insurance, a car, or your own pen. Adam is a legendary hustler who made his first million at 12 years old. His blockchain app, RobinGood, is a successful, multi-national conglomerate generating sales of over REDACTED dollars a year. Thank you Adam for sitting through a long ceremony, and for making sure Summer doesn't trip making her way down the aisle.
Dylan Bruckheim
Bridesman
Dylan and Summer met in elementary school and skated (literally skateboarded at a skatepark) their way through middle and high school together. Dylan ended up going to the X-Games and started his SoundCloud rapping career (see 'Yung Gravy' on all streaming platforms) before making it big as a clothing brand designer and CEO. Dylan and Summer's friendship is forever, and she is eternally grateful for all of the support and memories they've shared their whole life!
Michael Rogers
Officiant
In his latest role, Hollywood actor Steven Michael Gertsen Rogers stars in a double feature. In August 2023, Mike will captivate global audiences as the Officiant to Tim and Summer's Wedding while simultaneously playing a Groomsman in a Netflix exclusive film "Meet the Toppers." High pressure and expectations are no match for the guy who drove from Colorado to Louisiana only to square-off with Chris Pratt in the filming of Jurassic Park. In this summer blockbuster, Mike will spare no expense.
Derek "Danger" DeYonge
Groomsman
Hailing from the Great White North or as non-vikings refer to as present day Minnesota, Derek is Tim's right-hand man when it comes to conquering El Capitan or the Llano Estacado. While meeting in the Lone Star State, Derek and Tim have worked together for years paving ways for students to follow their dreams. (A path that has included a lot of slow smoked bbq and shouting "Wreck Em" at less than appropriate times). When the temperature drops below 50 degrees, Derek will be the first one to tell everyone what a nice day it is before putting on jorts and jumping into the ocean while belting out a "youbetcha."
Saya "Aural" Nei
Bridesmaid
Saya and Summer met in high school while doing a routine cat cadaver neuter. Bonding over animal anatomy and aspirations of becoming a veterinarian, the two have been friends ever since. Saya currently lives on a 100 acre farm where she tends to sickly animals in need of care. This past year, she raised over $2 million dollars to support wounded animals who have returned from war. Saya spends her weekends rescuing puppies from falling off of thousand foot high bridges, reviving kittens after traumatic accidents, and going to the beach.
Alysa Buckler
Bridesmaid
Hailing from the brotherhood of Kappa Alpha Pi, Ms. Alysa Buckler is Summer's little and fraternity bro (4LIFE!). Members of the KAPi cult--I mean brotherhood--Summer and Alysa have been blood brothers and besties ever since. Alysa is killing it on the Hill in D.C. and secretly running our nation behind the scenes. Thank you for ruling the world, you've been exceptional.
Carly James
Bridesmaid
Once upon a time, in the early 2000's, two small children met on the playground playing tetherball. Carly and Summer have been friends since they learned their multiplication tables in the second grade. From sleepovers, to Lady Gaga dance parties (???a fever dream), to building bears at a workshop, Summer & Carly have had so much fun and have made so many memories the past 12ish plus years! Through thick and thin, their friendship has always been as strong as it was in elementary school. Sko bears, and happy nuptials, ladies & gentlemen!
Steph "Bison" Argent
Bridesmaid
Bisou, bisou. Steph and Summer met in the trenches during their first year of law school (1Hell). The impending doom and peril provided the perfect environment for trauma bonding. Without Steph, Summer absolutely would not have made it through law school in one piece. If legally blonde were recasted tomorrow, Steph would be a shoo-in for Elle and Summer her sorority cheerleading BFF. WE OBJECT to you not having the best time of your life in August!
Bella Acres
Bridesmaid
Bella and Summer met on the set of "The Kicks" almost a decade ago! Since then, they have been best beach buddies, singing partners, and co-chefs (even though maybe not so great at it). Bella and Summer have almost everything in common, but argue most about why team Jacob is absolutely so much better than team Edward...blood sucking heathen who is a thousand years old...ANYWAYS!1!1!1 Summer cannot imagine marrying her 'Jacob' without Bella by her side!!!!
Salma Sebt
Bridesmaid
A fellow Chapman U graduate, Salma and Summer became close in Professor Kyle's class on the universe and philosophy. Salma is joining us from halfway across the world in France. When she's not teaching French children about American Colonialism, Salma enjoys learning about the Cosmos and meditating in her deep philosophical thoughts. We hope you're ready for a Socratic discussion at the dinner table!
Klaui Varadi
Bridesmaid
Like our engagement photos and the ones on the website? Klaui took those! We were so honored and surprised when Klaui turned down her shoot with Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian to meet little old us for our impromptu engagement shoot. Klaui is the princess of Budapest, the CFO of Alo Yoga, and spends her free time raising money for important philanthropic organizations. When Klaui isn't shooting for MTV or Vogue, she enjoys spending time with her fiancé, Mark Wahlberg. Klaui, we love you and can't imagine not sharing our special day with you!!!
Jade Geiger
Bridesmaid
Anyone need a tour of the venue? Jade and Summer met at Chapman when they worked at the Office of Admission as Tour Guides. The most spirited person at Chapman (PAWS UP!), Jade has translated this spirit from college to professional basketball. A professional NBA dancer and part-time point guard, Jade pours her passion onto the court every night. Afraid to dance on our big day? Just find Jade and she'll give you a 'Dancing for Dummies' crash course before you embarrass yourself in front of Uncle Jim. Go Clips, Go!!!!
Michaela "Micki" Lopez
Bridesmaid
Sisters for life, Micki and Summer met playing lacrosse together at Chapman, and spent lots of time together in Alpha Phi--Micki is Summer's Big Sis<3! When Micki decided she could take a break from playing on the Women's National Lacrosse Team and touring the world as a motivational speaker, Summer and her began coaching a girls' lacrosse team at Summer's alma mater high school (go Wolverine's!). They make the greatest team, Tik Toks, and coaches there ever was! Skoooooooooo PANTHS and ROLL CITY!!!
Haley Malan
Bridesmaid
Occupational Therapist by day, stunning singer and performer by night, we present to you Ms. Haley Malan. Haley and Summer met on the set of "Henry Danger" in the early 2010's. Since then, the two have performed together in front of hundreds of people, including all three of Summer's Youtube subscribers back in the day. Queens of commuting up and back from San Diego/Los Angeles, Haley and Summer are lifetime friends--LA and SD traffic have NOTHING on them.
Sergio
ESA
Sergio was found by Summer on the side of the road in Echo Park. Because Summer is a poor grad student, she thought she could save money, and an animal, by taking him home and adopting him. $1,000 and three flea and tick baths later, Sergio has made sure to thank her by biting her toes every morning and scratching her hands whenever he wants attention. Special thanks to his godmother, Saya, for assisting in his rescue. Sergio is excited for Tim and Summer to get married so him and Rux can chase each other around the house forever!
Raksha "Rux" Topper
Groomswoman
Arguably the cutest member of Tim's Wedding Party and most likely to be found at any dinner table, Rux brings a spark of energy to every room she walks into. She enjoys long walks at the park only to chase after the city protected birds and squirrels while also crashing Quinceañeras. She knows an infinite number of tricks and works hard for her treats so be sure to keep your treat hand strong during the reception.
Sage
Honorable Kitten
Gaslight, gate keep, girl boss; the motto Miss Sage lives her life by. This baby was rescued by Summer in 2020 and has been her unofficial service cat since she moved up to LA. Sage has been a cuddle buddy during the scary nights in downtown when Summer couldn't sleep and a pal to vent to when Summer was ready to drop out of law school to become an accountant. She's stealthy, smart, and has the cutest squeak for a meow. She is not excited for this wedding because she is not ready to share a house with another girl boss...Sorry Rux!
Chief
Groomsman
He's large, in charge, and ready to party! Everyone meet Rux's best friend, Chief! This dog brings the life to the party everywhere he goes! A true champion of raiding the treat cabinet, he'll be sure to show you where the best treats are hidden at the party!
