Mary Kate was born and raised in Rome, NY, and has been best friends with Rebecca since they were just two asthmatics on the middle school cross country team. Librarian by day and knitting aficionado by night, you can usually find her morally supporting her friends’ dance moves, but don’t let her fool you—she has a Bachelor’s degree from UVM in dropping it low (read: abstract contemporary dance). She is a master designated driver and always carries snacks and earplugs in her purse. Ask her how many library cards she has on her right now!

Meet Nick Wagner, the groom's older brother and best man. A proud RIT alum, Nick works in a medical lab and is a master of many talents, from baking the perfect baguettes and cookies to forging metal masterpieces. When he's not working or creating in the kitchen, he’s tackling a home renovation project or heading out on a hike. Since meeting Rebecca, the two often spending hours on the phone chatting about books, baking, and life’s little adventures. He's also been the couple's reliable moving partner, helping them settle into new places four times in just three years! And let’s not forget his furry companion, Marmalade, who’s always by his side entertaining Ethan and Rebecca during every phone call by causing chaos at every turn. Nick is thrilled to be Ethan's Best Man and welcome Rebecca into the family!

Steven is Ethan's cousin on the NYC-Jewish side and lifelong video game-companion. The pair has been thick as thieves ever since they first argued over whose Papa Jeff Wagner really is (they eventually worked out the confusion). Over the years, they have stayed close as they've both pursued their loves of music; they've sang the very occasional duet, but mostly stuck to FaceTime catch-ups. Steven is so happy for Ethan and Rebecca and is honored to be helping out in welcoming a new member to the family!

Amanda is from Nesconset, New York. She attended college at the Crane School of Music with Rebecca and Ethan, and lived with Rebecca during her junior and senior year. Amanda met both Rebecca and Ethan through voice studio class! Amanda is thrilled to be Rebecca’s bridesmaid and to be by her side on her wedding day. She’s most excited to celebrate her two amazing friends and to dance all night with everyone!

Brianna met Rebecca on their first day of undergrad in Margaret Chalker's studio class. After bonding on a NATS trip during their freshman year, Brianna, Rebecca, and Amanda became and inseparable trio through their time at Crane. They lived together for two years, and spent countless hours studying, cooking, and sewing SAI letters together. After Bri moved to Florida for grad school, their roomie sleepovers turned into FaceTime dates, text updates, and trips to go to each other's wedding events! Bri is excited to be part of Ethan and Rebecca's big day.

Kathleen is an EMT from Rome, New York. She has known Rebecca since they were orphans together in 2008 in a production of "Annie." Kathleen tried very hard not to make it obvious that she knew *exactly* when Rebecca was being proposed to. A fun fact about Kathleen is that the principal threatened to breathalyzer her at the Junior Prom because her moves were too sick. You can bet you will see her pop, lock, AND dropping it at the Wagner Wedding.

Madelynn was born and raised in Rome, NY and met the beautiful bride in 5th grade when they both began music activities together. From that moment on Rebecca remained the soprano to Madelynn's alto all through middle and high school. The Sandy to her Rizzo, if you will. She is so excited to spend the day celebrating such a beautiful couple with all of her favorite people in one place. When you see her at the wedding, ask her about the time she traveled to Germany and Spain!

Ryanne is from a small town in upstate NY near Rebecca! She currently lives in NYC and is attending grad school at NYU! Rebecca and Ryanne have known each other for about 7 years, having done show choir festivals together since high school. In college, they started to become absolute besties when Rebecca joined A Sharp Arrangement and became Ryanne's mentee. It's been true bestie love ever since. Ethan and Ryanne met at Crane, geeking out about conducting together from time to time. She is SO pumped for this wedding, to be in her first bridal party ever, and to celebrate Rebecca and Ethan and their love.

Amber was born and raised in Merrick, NY. Amber met Rebecca in her first semester of college when they took the same music theory class! Amber is an elementary school teacher with a love of animals, video games, and music. Fun fact: Amber and Rebecca only got to live together in college for half a semester before the pandemic ruined their dreams and sent Amber home (this is actually not a fun fact at all, but a sad fact). Amber could not be happier that Rebecca and Ethan have found each other and are ready to live their happily ever after!

Mia is from Rockaway, Queens. She feels lucky to consider Ethan family. She's known him for almost a decade. They met when Mia started dating Steven (Best Man, the one with the beard). She met Rebecca through Ethan and feels like they've known each other forever! They've grown so close over the last few years, and Mia was even there when Rebecca bought her wedding dress! She is so excited to celebrate Ethan and Rebecca on their wedding day and to dance the night away!

Rebecca met both Ethan and Rebecca in undergrad at Crane— they were in the same voice studio together! She is so happy that they have found each other, and is incredibly excited for their big day!

Noah is from Albany, New York. He met Ethan and Rebecca during college at Crane. He and Ethan became fast friends, bonding over their love of video games, opera and Taco Bell. He’s very excited to see one of his best friends and greatest role models get married to someone just as amazing as he is.

Kayla is Rebecca's younger cousin. Her favorite memories with the couple are visiting Rebecca after she first moved to Boston and having a sleepover with Rebecca and Toast in their apartment, and helping Ethan record Rebecca's grad school pre-screens and getting to hear her sing opera music. In her free time, Kayla enjoys horseback riding and figure skating! She is so excited to be part of the wedding party, and can't wait for Rebecca and Ethan to get married!

Reid is Rebecca's younger cousin and Kayla's older brother. Reid's favorite memory with Rebecca is when she babysat Kayla and him for a week when she was on summer vacation. They baked all kinds of treats together and had so much fun! Reid is very much looking forward to eating wedding cheesecake on wedding day. He has played 8 sports, so we predict that he'll be putting his endurance to work tearing up the dance floor all night!

Toast Wagner is thrilled that his parents are going to be together fur-ever! Toast is a chonky boi from Geneva, NY. Toast adopted the Wagner family in 2017 when he wandered onto their property and stole their hearts. Toast attended the Crane School of Music for a year to study meow-sic purr-formance, which is where he met Rebecca. Rebecca later cat-napped him and enrolled him at Boston Conservatory, where he got a meowsters’ degree just like his Mom. Toast and Rebecca had a great time living in Boston together, but they were both thrilled when Ethan moved in and their family could be together again! Toast has been diligently keeping the books for his parents wedding, attending finance meetings and budgeting very carefully. He hopes everyone has a great time at the wedding!
