Wedding Party

Olivia Marciano
Olivia Marciano - Matron of Honor
Olivia and Sarah have been best friends since they sat next to each other in Mr. Pankler's math class in 7th grade. From middle school, to high school, to The University of Arizona, to Los Angeles, they grew up by each other's side. Sarah has known Olivia would be standing by her side on her wedding day since they were 11 years old. Sarah's life is infinitely better for knowing a friendship like Olivia's.
Sophia Sapuppo
Sophia Sapuppo - Maid of Honor
Sophia and Sarah first met at Hall Middle School and immediately bonded over their love of gossip, reality tv and sharing clothes. They often describe themselves as sisters.

She has been there since the beginning of their love story, and they couldn't imagine their wedding day without her.
Sierra Dawson

Sierra is the yin to Sarah's yang. Sierra is Sarah's more fun and adventurous better half. Through all the curveballs life has thrown at them, their friendship has never wavered.

Sarah looks back at her life, and childhood, and doesn't know what she would have done without Sierra.
Veronika Skala
Veronika Skala - Bridesmaid
Veronika and Sarah met in high school when Veronika was a freshman and Sarah was a sophomore.

They have formed such a deep, loyal and everlasting friendship as they navigated the highs and lows of high school and beyond.
Danielle Miller-Batali
Danielle Miller-Batali - Bridesmaid
Danielle is married to Alex's older brother, Maury. From the day Danielle and Sarah met, they instantly clicked. Sarah looks up to Danielle and truly feels like she is the older sister she never had. Danielle helped Sarah find a wedding dress, and has been so supportive of her and Alex. Sarah can't wait for all the upcoming phases of life with Danielle by her side!
Annie Polachek
Annie Polachek - Bridesmaid
Sarah and Annie met when Sarah was 8 years old at a summer acting camp. Annie is 2 years older and took Sarah under her wing that summer, and she has been doing it ever since. Annie looked out for Sarah in the hallways of high school, and on campus at The University of Arizona. Through the years, they have only gotten closer, and Sarah doesn't know what she would have done without Annie's guidance all these years.
Max Batali
Max Batali - Best Man
Max is Alex’s younger brother. Growing up, Max was the brute end of brotherly wrestling matches, often being the one with an injury as a result. He is highly regarded as the “Best Batali Athlete” (self-proclaimed). Max & Alex have always been very close through the years as they have spent a lot of time together on family vacations including a trip to Italy and Thanksgiving with Sarah’s family.
Maury Batali
Maury Batali - Best Man
Maury is Alex's older brother. Maury can often be found installing, fixing and building things for the entire family. Maury has always been a role model to Alex. While growing up, Maury showed Alex the right way of doing things to not get in trouble with their parents (though it seemed Alex never listened). Maury has two beautiful children, and Sarah and Alex look up to Maury and how he leads his family.
Roland Deex
Roland Deex - Groomsmen
Roland and Alex have been best friends since 7th grade. From playing high school lacrosse together, to visiting each other in college, the two never failed to find time to see each other. Roland is moving back to Washington next year after finishing his masters degree, and Alex can't wait to have him home to share this next chapter of life together with their wives (!).
Tynan Gilmore
Tynan Gilmore - Groomsmen
Tynan is one of Alex's oldest friends. They originally met in kindergarten and played football together growing up.

Now, living only 10 miles apart, you can often find these two golfing together on the weekends.
Max Cordell

Max is another childhood friend of Alex's. While the origin of their friendship is unknown (sometime in middle school) they have shared many experiences together over their lives. Most notable was their backpacking trip through Europe after graduating college. Max and Alex also love to ski together as some of their best memories are from their annual ski trips to Big Sky and Jackson Hole.

Connor Arendts
Connor Arendts - Groomsmen
Connor and Alex originally met in college at The University of Arizona, but had some of their best memories during their 3 years living together in San Francisco post-college.

Dalton O'Brien
Dalton O'Brien - Groomsmen
Dalton and Alex have been friends since elementary school when they played on the basketball team together. Dalton also attended the University of Arizona with Alex as they created many great memories together in college. Fun fact-Sarah and Dalton were friends at The University of Arizona, but she still never met Alex in college.
Kevin Ahrens

Kevin and Alex met in 1st grade and lived walking distance from each other growing up. Kevin's basement was infamous among the friend group as one of the best places to hangout in middle and high school. After college, Kevin and Alex lived together in San Francisco for one year because they weren't done causing chaos together yet.
