LeAnn & Daryl
Wedding Party
Lori Valentine
Maid of Honor
My best friend and first love, my beautiful sister Lori. She has been by my side and the brightest influence in my life. Being together, cooking for our friends and family, talking for hours about everything and nothing, is one of my true happy places and a gift of the heart. I would not be who I am without her love and support.
Rob Pryor
Best Man
Rob and I have been great friends since 1993, freshman year at Vanderbilt. He is a logical, steady influence and trusted confidant, despite his unfortunate support of Michigan football. In fact, he is a fanatic for all things Detroit sports related.
Phillis Brandt
Mother of the Bride and Bridesmaid
How lucky am I that my mother is also one of my best friends. She is incredibly funny, genuinely kind, and loves to make others laugh. She is also a fantastic gardener and baker extraordinaire. Mom, I love you beyond words and could not be prouder to have you by my side.
Butch Peterman
Father of the Groom and Groomsman
I Love You and, you are a tough act to follow. 😘 Thank you for your golf genes 🥴 I would not be the person I am today without your love and support. I hope I have always made you proud. I will always cherish our yearly father/son golf trips. We are so happy to be near you and Mom in Florida. I can not ever thank you enough. You have my unwavering admiration and love.
Sunny Song
Bridesmaid
My niece Sunny is simply amazing. She is incredibly sweet and funny and has found a love for travel. She has recently returned from Switzerland and is already planning her next trip through Europe. She is fascinated by the minds of criminals and studying criminal justice in her 3rd year of college.
Josh Broder
Groomsman
Josh and I became friends the first day we met before business school. We were roommates both years at UCLA and despite his misguided appreciation for Michigan football he is one of the best men I know. Even though Josh lives in New York and I don’t see him as as much as I’d like, he is someone I can always count on.
Monica Fleming
Bridesmaid
Monica and I have been friends for 25 years and she feels like home to me. She is a certified trend setter, mind blowing artist and a creator who has a heart of gold! The times when we lounged around watching trashy TV and laughing and our Sunday night dance parties will forever be some of my favorite moments of life!
Tyler Sweeney
Groomsman
Tyler arrived at Columbus Academy high school in 1989 and we became fast friends after inviting him to my 16th birthday party. He became affectionately nicknamed “fluff head” for his stylish look at graduation (1993). We continued our friendship traveling together for ski trips and live music. Tyler’s primary interests include golf, mountain biking, spending time with his son Cooper and laughing with good friends. He has always had my back and my best interests at heart and has been a major support to LeAnn and I over the last few years.
Gina Romanello
Bridesmaid
Gina is pure joy! We became fast friends over 10 years ago and are true soul sisters! I cherish our annual pilgrimage to Sedona and the incredible group of women we call friends. I love that we cannot stop laughing when we are together and your fantastically animated storyteller abilities.
Erik Till
Groomsman
Till and I have been taking Columbus by storm since I returned to Ohio from California. His favorite hobbies include golf, boating and his motorcycles. As a celebrated chef/restaurateur, he knows his way around a kitchen and wine cellar. He has been a reliable and steadfast friend for LeAnn and I since my stroke in 2018. Thanks for always showing up for us.
