Megan & Tom

Saturday, June 7, 2025 • Westlake Village, CA
Danni Steele
Danni Steele - Maid of Honor
Danni & Megan met in 2015 when they were first starting out as Production Assistants and Megan was training Danni on the front desk. "Do you like Beyonce?" "Do you like Parks & Rec?" "Do you like Harry Potter?" Great. Now we're friends. In the past decade, they've traveled together, worked together and have been each other's hype woman through the peaks and valleys of their 20s/30s. Danni and Megan are both dedicated AMC A-Listers (and pray to Nicole Kidman), create annual vision boards and strategically plan their social events calendar on a quarter by quarter basis. They love a themed event, watch party viewings and sporting events for the beer and snacks. Danni lovingly refers to Megan & Tom as "Mom & Dad" and you can usually find her at their apartment. "Goodnight buddy!"
James Hennelly
James Hennelly - Best Man
Born in 1995, Tom has known James his entire life. The son of Mark and Mimi Hennelly, James was Tom’s first friend and his only sibling. Although he is the younger brother by only five years, they shared a common love for the game of baseball in their teenage years, which has transformed into an obsessive love for golf as adults. They’ve had the lucky fortune of seeing several amazing musical performances from San Francisco to London, from Excision to A Tribe Called Quest. Fishing trips to Mammoth, RV trips to Yellowstone and Yosemite as kids, baseball tournaments in Las Vegas, Disneyland, Disneyworld, Paris, Rome, Sherman Oaks; they’ve seen it all together. And he’s always been so supportive of his older brother and soon-to-be bride Megan. And Higbee’s preferred doggy-sitter!
Colleen Jones
Colleen Jones - Maid of Honor
Megan & Colleen met in 2016 at Asylum Entertainment when they were both working on Nate & Jeremiah by Design for TLC. (You wouldn't last an hour in the Asylum where they raised me!!). Both hailing from the tri-state area, Colleen and Megan bonded over similar upbringings and shared experiences. Some of their favorite activities to do together include hot girl walks, a Sunday beach day, getting tattoos that have made it out of the group chat and listening to (obsessing over) Harry Styles. They love a good spritz, an ooh stunning moment, arts & crafts, trips to Disneyland & scream singing Chicago & Mamma Mia. They also bunk together while traveling because only Colleen can put up with Megan's snoring (that's friendship!). Colleen and Megan spend the majority of their free time sending TikTok videos back & forth to each other (partially because Colleen lives in New Jersey now but also because they are both chronically online).
Drake Dixon
Drake Dixon - Groomsman
Drake and Tom met for the first time somewhere between 2004 and 2005 (no one could really say for sure). He was one of the first people Tom met when he transferred to a new high school and soon after became one of his closest friends. They shared a common love for the emo/rock musicians of the mid-2000s. In high school, you could find them jamming to Underoath, Taking Back Sunday and Incubus songs in Tom’s garage, with Drake wailing on the guitar and Tom keeping rhythm on the drums. After high school, they were roommates for four years and their musical interests continued and morphed into a passion for EDM and dance music; they would DJ parties for their friends on the weekends. Although Tom eschewed the turntables for spreadsheets, Drake continues to hone his craft in Portland (under the moniker of d.lawrence) and shares his musical talent with likeminded folks.
Alexa Peyton
Alexa Peyton - Bridesmaid
Alexa & Meggo became friends in 2009 when they were freshman at St. John's University. They were both ~*theater girlies*~ and easily bonded over their love for The Sims, early aughts television programs, book fandoms & mashed potatoes. You could usually find them in the kitchen corner at house parties, a balcony or a backyard. They spent many a time at the Little Theater with the Chappell Players Theater Group/Alpha Psi Omega and participated in over 15+ theater productions together. They were roommates for several years in Queenz (McHutchPeyCruz Co! 4th Floor!) but the majority of their friendship has been bicoastal. Megan is glad Alexa is now a football gurl now. Go Birds! Go Jets!
Billy Bond
Billy Bond - Groomsman
Billy is the older brother that Tom did not have growing up. During the summers when Aunt Maggie and Uncle Bill would be at work, Billy was with the Hennelly’s on Rodgers Drive, watching movies and TV, playing in the pool, going to Six Flags with their season passes and so much more. And if they weren’t there, they were in Mammoth on family fishing trips, riding their bikes at altitude in the Sierra Mountains, and watching the old VHS of Happy Gilmore (“only 364 more days until next year’s hockey tryouts!”). Billy also introduced Tom to a majority of the 2000s-era rock bands that he still enjoys to this day. Tom was lucky enough to be a groomsman for Billy when he married his lovely wife Amber.
Rebecca Strombosky
Rebecca Strombosky - Bridesmaid
Becca & Megan met when they were 12 years old and in 7th grade at Dodd Middle School and have been friends for the last 20+ years. They have seen each other through every fashion trend (punk, prep, business casual club attire), boxed dye hair color/hair cut combos (Ashlee Simpson bangs!) and have experienced many coming of age milestones together. They were Editors of their high school's student newspaper, hosts of RamTV, and worked at respective ice cream stores (Scooples! Dairy Queen!) when they were growing up in Cheshire. Becca is a founding member of their Moontowers (RIP) and was a contestant on The Price is Right when Becca to came to visit Megan in LA. Megan has always described Becca as "She's exactly like me, except with blonde hair."
Nick Dillon
Nick Dillon - Groomsman
Tom met Nick in high school through mutual friends, but it really wasn’t until later in their 20s that they found their calling: dominating bar trivia throughout the Santa Clarita Valley! He was one of Tom’s closest friends after he moved back home from Texas. Trivia became a way of life. Sunday nights became Game of Thrones night at the Dillon household (even in those last 2 seasons). Nick is also an incredibly talented guitarist and bassist (you can find him at Pocock Brewing playing with his band). Tom and Nick also share a love for the Dodgers that tetters on obsession. Now as residents of Sherman Oaks, Nick and Tom can be found at the Thirsty Merchant talking about life and those same Dodgers who are constantly a source of joy and frustration.
Arianna Livshits
Arianna Livshits - Bridesmaid
Arianna and Megan have been friends since 2006 where they met in Biology class. They participated in their high school's theater program as well as Powderpuff. There was always a guarantee that you would be hanging out at Arianna's or Megan's basement on a Friday night in (so) Cheshire amongst their friend group. Arianna was also a founding member of their Moontowers (RIP), a participant of their infamous toga party, a comrade for nights out in New Haven (Gotham! Meditraneo! Acrop!) and always agreed to model for Megan's amateur photography sessions (train tracks tumblr core). They love musical theater, shopping and attempting to cheer on the Jets.
Jacob Tomko
Jacob Tomko - Groomsman
Jacob and Tom met in 2021 at a pool party hosted by Jacob and his wife Luisa, who is friends and a former co-worker with Megan! Some of their shared interests include Lord of the Rings lore, comic books and video games (they really are nerds). But they especially share an interest in baseball and tabletop games, specifically complex board games that blur the line between hobby and an occupation. Whenever possible, Jacob and friends can be found in his game room, well past midnight playing a tabletop game you’ve never heard of, with his and Luisa’s dog Jasper hanging out on a chair next to him. Higbee and Jasper are lifelong frenemies.
Anna Christie
Anna Christie - Bridesmaid
Anna and Megan met in 2015 when they both worked at (you guessed it!) Aslyum Entertainment and were in the Development post production trenches together. Since then they have attended numerous women's marches/protests, traveled to Yosemite, skiied in Mammoth & Big Bear and have gone on girls trips to Vegas, Palm Springs, Nashville & Flagstaff. They love Bravo TV, horror movies, Saturday morning puppy playdates and hanging out at local breweries. Megan credits Anna for getting into her nature activities like hiking & getting back into skiing. "Anna, how are the vibes?" "Vibes are good."
Ricky Simpson
Ricky Simpson - Groomsman
Ricky and Tom also met at a pool party at Jacob’s house, because that’s where pool parties happen. Ricky is never in a bad mood. He’s always got a smile on his face and a joke you’ve never heard before, said in his classic Scottish accent. Tom and Ricky share an appreciation for rock music, Eurovision and karaoke. He may not be a fan of ‘The Queen’ (RIP) but he is a huge fan of the Queens of the Stone Age! When their significant others are hosting parties, you are likely to find Ricky and Tom dressed as classic 80s heroes like the Ultimate Warrior and Richard Simmons (respectively).
Higbee
Higbee - Best Pup
Higbee of the House Hennelly: First of his Name, King of Addison Street and Prince of Dog-E-Den, Protector of Sherman Oaks Van Nuys Recreation Park & Breaker of Toys.
