Meet some of our favorite people!
Amelia Botts - Maid of Honor
Amelia is Maddy's youngest sister, who just happens to be one of her best friends too. If you knew Maddy and Amelia when they were much younger, this may be a surprise, but as they've gotten older, they've grown closer. Amelia is the best person to go to for a laugh, TV show recommendation, or fashion advice. Maddy has always known her Maid of Honor would be Amelia and can't wait to have her by her side.
Gerard Swann - Co-Best man & Matchmaker
Gerard and Evan have been friends since Evan’s sophomore year of high school! They met through the Lafayette band and ended up becoming great friends all through school. Gerard is the person you go to when you need someone to cheer you up or if you want to aimlessly wander Colonial Williamsburg all night. He is also the person we have to thank for Maddy and Evan starting to date in the first place hence why he is also referred to as the matchmaker.
Grace Granger - Bridesmaid
Grace and Maddy have been friends since freshman year of high school (10 years ago!!!) They met in 9th grade honors English and ended up being in the musical together. All through high school they were connected by the hip. They spent the weekends eating Chinese food, pizza rolls, and watching Jane the Virgin together. Grace is the person you go to for a smile, a good story, a game of Pictionary, sleepover, or a fun time.
Neil Houston - Co-Best Man
Neil is one of Evan’s friends that he happily made through Maddy, however he has also become one of his closest friends. The first time Evan and Neil met, Neil after 5 minutes of hanging out proceeded to ask Evan if he wanted to spend the night at his house. Neil is the friend you go to when you wanna drive around and listen to the most outrageous remixes and songs.
Emily Boyle - Bridesmaid
Emily and Maddy have been friends for almost 10 years, another Lafayette high school theater friend. Emily and Maddy bonded over a trip to the build-a-bear outlet, picking blueberries, makeup/nail polish, and just general goofiness. Maddy and Emily competed together in Forensic Speech competitions and won many awards together. Emily is the best person to laugh with, listen to Heathers the musical, give you random science facts, and play "the game" with.
James Lotts - Groomsman
James and Evan have been friends since high school band. We did marching band together and that’s where our friendship really got started. If you want random dinosaur facts or other sciency things he’s your guy. From walking around making dumb jokes that make strangers mildly uncomfortable to driving around crammed in the back seat with a bunch of other friends just for the vibes.
Keely Beard - Bridesmaid
Keely and Maddy have been friends for 10 years. After meeting each other through high school theater, they became close in The Wizard of Oz when Maddy was Keely's understudy. Keely is one of the best people to go to a brewery with, get stuck in the snow after sledding, play Mario party, talk to about plant science, and overall joke around with.
Dylan Varney - Groomsman
Dylan is Evan’s brother just younger than himself. Dylan and Evan have both bonded a lot over a shared love of the arts, mostly music and photography. As is the case with most siblings they have always had their ups and downs but Dylan is one of the best not only brothers but friends Evan could ask for.
Elizabeth McIntosh - Bridsmaid
Elizabeth was Maddys first friend after moving to Williamsburg. They met in their theater foundations class during the first period of the first day and have been friends ever since. Elizabeth is one of those friends that no matter how much time passes between seeing each other, it’ll be like you were never a part. Elizabeth is the best person to drive around with, do a face mask, make monkey bread, and just chat about anything with.
Josh Kryzwicki - Groomsman
Josh is yet another great friend that Evan made through Maddy. One of the first interactions Evan and Josh had was them talking about the cinematic masterpiece that is Whiplash, at a later time they proceeded to watch said movie with Neil (mentioned above). There have been many late night hangouts at cookout playing card games, random meetups after long shifts, and even virtual game nights over zoom. Josh brings some of the best vibes to any group and is one of Evan’s best friends.
