The Wedding Party
SQUAD
Ben Hendricks
Best Man / Officiant
Andy’s big brother, both literally and musically. Lifelong bandmate. Lover of dogs, sports, and crypto. Occasionally has to remind Andy how old he is.
Emma
Little
Maid of Honor
Sloan’s best friend, former longtime roommate, and (other) soulmate. Allowed Sloan to sleep under her dining room table for 4 months and taught her how to pronounce “minestrone”.
Tia
Piraino
Best Man
Aka Farmer Tia. Early 2000s emo music enthusiast. Andy’s right hand woman through both thick and thin. Has a pair of slippers and a tooth brush at Sloan & Andy’s, and once painted their bedroom for them in a single night. When they are together, bottles of wine mysteriously get emptied.
Ross
Horvath
Groomsman
Always DTF (down to fun). Myspace messaged Andy to book his band in 2005 and the rest is history. Enjoyer of rare whiskeys, puns, and dad jokes.
Katie
Kennedy
Bridesmaid
Sloan’s original guide to emo music. Once convinced Sloan that it was okay to drive on the sidewalk. (And also allowed Sloan to live on her bedroom floor for a year.) Katie and her partner, Mark, know all about or make only the finest of foods.
Marcus
Nuccio
Groomsman
BDE (Big Drum Energy). The one person who truly matches Andy’s freak (oh dear god). Has traveled with Andy through countless countries over many years of rockin’, and has attended even more shows together.
Ellie
Crowley
Bridesmaid
Sloan’s friend since before childbirth (designated “womb friend”), and classmate from preschool through high school. Mischief always ensues when she’s around.
Evan
Weiss
Groomsman
Andy’s beer pong partner and first Chicago roommate. Met Andy through years of touring & playing house shows in Akron, OH. Knows their way around a grill. Never not schemin’.
Al
Waltzer
Bridesmaid
A perfect magical elven queen brought to our realm. Catch Sloan and Al having 8 conversations at once and somehow keeping track of them all.
Mark
Jaeschke
Groomsman
Andy’s Poké-partner in crime. Fellow “Rude Dude” and Alt-Rocker. Unofficial wing man for Andy & Sloan’s first few weeks of hangs.
Michelle
Johnson
Bridesmaid
She’s both brilliant and beautiful, and somehow makes the word “cool” not seem cool enough. Deletes Old Fashioneds with Sloan whenever the mood strikes.
Logan
Bloom
Groomsman
Andy’s rhythm section brother and Annabel band dad. Joined Andy’s band AND went on tour with them, all within less than a week’s notice. Drops everything to be there for his friends.
Chel
Boren
Bridesmaid
A complete badass with a heart of pure gold. She’s ready to fight for the people that she loves, and she never ever lets Sloan forget that she is loved. Sloan never wants to play Dungeons & Dragons without her.
Mikaela
Kennaway
Bridesmaid
Sloan (and Emma’s) former neighbor and current Olive Garden date. An Aussie obsessed with Chicago basketball, and mother to 2 dogs that are cartoons come to life.
