Nour Chatti - Maid of Honor
Nour is Sydney's oldest friend. They met in 6th grade when their teacher placed them at the same table group and have been annoying their peers ever since. Nour moved to London in early high school but distance never got in the way of their friendship as they sent each other weekly emails catching up and were able to visit each other back and forth during the rest of high school, college, and their early 20's. Nour is known for her wickedly fast wit, excellent taste in music, and being the extrovert's extrovert. Sydney can't wait for Nour's roast... I mean toast.
Mike Carrasquilla - Best Man
A lifetime ago in the halls of William Fremd High School, friends of friends put MikeC and MikeScholl in the same circle. MikeC has been pushing MikeS out of his comfort zone ever since. The biggest such push was when MikeC asked MikeS to officiate his wedding to Erika. Too bad you didn't call no-tag-backs, dude. Now you gotta speak up at my wedding, too.
Mark Jackson - Bridesman
Sydney met Mark in 2012 at the University of Montana where they both attended college. They quickly bonded over their abilities to over share and trek to their local hot springs. Mark and Sydney maintained a long distance friendship for many years until she finally convinced him to move to Seattle where she hopes he'll stay for at least a few more years.
Melissa Scholl - Groomslady
Melissa is Mike's oldest friend in this bridal party. They practically grew up together. Mike & Melissa weren't always buddy-buddy, but when Mike was headed off to college they both realized something: they were actually going to miss each other. I'm glad we're buddy-buddy now, Melissa. Love you, sis!
Mollie Thill - Bridesmaid
Sydney met Mollie in 2016 when they worked at the same spa in Belltown. Sydney immediately fell in love with Mollie's dark wit, and charming personality. Together they go on hikes, overeat at some of Seattle's best and worst restaurants, and never forget a dog they come across. Mollie always sets Sydney straight when she needs it (which is often).
Patrick Stapleton - Groomsman
Everyone needs a Patty Stapes in their life. Mike & Pat met in high school sophomore year and then were roommates in college. They've kept in touch ever since by texting the same Office quotes to one another and traveling all over the country together. Can't wait to get you back to Seattle, Pat!
Henry Moen - Bridesman
Sydney met Henry in 2008 during a high school play that she acted in and he did crew for. Henry is as close to a brother as Sydney will get and they have enjoyed pestering each other during their many years of friendship. Together they have written and starred in a play, seen a solar eclipse, and been on seven too many dumb adventures together.
Caitlin Heintz - Groomslady
Caitlin and Mike have been friends ever since she moved from Portland to Seattle. She helped introduce Mike to running, to camping, and to drinking. Well actually Mike already knew how to do that, but Caitlin is still a top shelf drinking buddy. Mike was in Caitlin's wedding and is honored she'll be in his.
Sarah Kepa - Bridesmaid
Sydney met Sarah in 2018 when Mike finally stopped hiding her atop Mt. Rainier. Sydney and Sarah became fast friends by sharing their mutual love of teasing Mike. Sydney has loved goofing off with Sarah during their double date game nights, camping in her backyard, and basking in the general greatness of Sarah's personality.
Scott Bezek - Groomsman
Scott and Mike met back, in like, what? 1st grade? Is that possible? Syd didn't want Mike using the picture from his 6th grade birthday party because the bowl cuts were just too much to handle. So the high school swoops will have to do instead.
Scott is one Mike's oldest friends and definitely his most creative. For example, if you want to build a lamp, Scott can help you build one out of pieces from other lamps!
Jack Heintz - Officiant/Hype Man
A man as funny as he is earnest as he is handsome, Mike met Jack in 2013 and honestly didn't care that much for him. The feeling was mutual. But over time they realized that they liked the cuts of each other's jib. Heck, Jack and his then fiancée Caitlin (see above) asked Mike to officiate their wedding. Sydney met Jack in 2018, where Jack immediately welcomed Sydney into their friend group. Sydney has enjoyed her walks with Jack and calling him out on always intruding on Mike and Sydney's private moments. He will be a wonderful officiant. No pressure, dude.
