Phebs (pronounced Febs) is Jenn's 12 yo son who is incredibly excited to officially make James part of the family! He is an amazing artist who loves to make up songs, be silly, watch anime, and try out new make up ideas. Jenn is so proud of Phebs and so grateful that they adore James as much as she does. Phebs will likely be way better dressed than Jenn on the big day, but as a mom to a stylish kiddo, she just has to get used to that.

Krischelle and Jenn have been friends since they started attending Harry Potter Trivia together. They hit it off immediatly and a strong friendship started forming, which has only gotten better over the years. They share a love in personal growth, social justice, silliness, and general geekery which means they are made for each other. Jenn is so honored to have Krischelle by her side as she marries James.

Dave is Jenn's oldest friend and is flying in all the way from Scotland to be here! They have known each other for nearly 20 years when they first met on a Harry Potter Survivor role play forum board. Yes you read that correctly! They have stayed close friends all these years and Jenn couldn't be happier to have him and his family in California to celebrate with her!

Alison and Jenn have known each other since before their little ones could even walk. Their friendship grew over the years as their children did. They love getting together to have some good food and drinks while the kids entertain themselves. Which has gotten easier as they have gotten older!

Jamiellin and Jenn's friendship has spanned activities from Harry Potter Trivia to Bridgeton experiences. Anytime they're together you know you're about to have a good time! Jenn is so honored that Jamiellin would be such a special part of her big day and she knows she's in good hands with her amazing friend.

Jane and Jenn first got to know each other playing board games years ago. Something they still love to do all the time! Jane was always there for Jenn during the pandemic, and especially while Jenn was first dating James. Making Jane pretty much responsible for this wedding!

A regular from James’s Dive Bar Thursdays meetup, Tyler is an incredible chef, a master of puns, a chief of puzzles, a great artist, and a darn good friend.

Since meeting at St. Mary’s Young Adult Ministry shortly after James moved to the Bay Area, he and Clarissa have shared a long friendship that’s as comfortable discussing their faith as they are their nerdy joy for Doctor Who and Harry Potter.

An invaluable member of James’ weekly pub-trivia team “Punderdome”, Jason is better at music trivia than anyone James knows. (Himself included!)

After Scoby & James met back in UC Santa Cruz during their Intro to Acting class, they became roommates across 4 apartments and BFFs across 21 years (with the in-jokes to prove it!)

Also a member of team Punderdome with James, Pat is an excellent Dungeon Master, a brand new dad, and always has a great suggestion for new anime for Phebs and the family to check-out.

Kathryn is the daughter of Jane and the youngest member of the bridal party. She is already super independent and loves doing things on her own. Kathryn gives amazing hugs and is always so happy to see Phebs when he is able to babysit her. Jenn and James are so happy to have Kathryn be their flower bringer and can't wait see how cute she'll be on the day!

Moses is the child of James' good friends, Katie and Cedric. They are incredibly energetic, social and thoughtful. Jenn has gotten to know Moses over the last few years and both her and James are so excited to have Moses be one of their ring bringers.

Peppy is the oldest daughter of Krischelle and big sister to Cleo. She is incredibly imaginative and supportive to all those around her. She is an amazing big sister to both Cleo and her new baby sister Felix. Jenn and James are so happy that Peppy will be one of their ring bringers and so thankful that Peppy created the term Ring Bringer!

Cleo is the middle daughter of Krischelle and little sister to Peppy. She is daring and kind and incredibly honest. Jenn and James are thrilled that Cleo is helping to bring the bubbles down the aisle!

Lyra is the daughter of Dave. She and her family are flying all the way over from Scotland to be there on this special day! Lyra is super social, energetic and fierce. Jenn and James are so delighted that Lyra is excited to be in charge of walking the bubbles down the aisle.

Zoe is Alison's oldest daughter and older sister to Zin. She is incredibly intelligent and quick witted. Phebs and Zoe first met when they weren't even walking yet at a mom's group Jenn and Alison attended. They've grown up together ever since!

Zin is Alison's youngest daughter and little sister to Zoe. She is wonderfully energetic, social and vibrant. Zin is known to give some of the best hugs ever but be prepared to be squished! Jenn has known Zin since she was in Alison's tummy and has watched her grow up to be an amazing person. James has gotten to know both Zoe and Zin over the last few years and is so excited to have them both be apart of the wedding!
