Oh hello, I didn’t see you there.

Drummer, dog dad, & a darn good procrastinator of writing bios. Payton and I met online when I had agreed to help her preserve/restore her father's drum set and the empty promise of teaching her how to play it. We fell and love, decided to get married and she still doesn't know how to play drums - but she does, in fact, know how to hold the sticks the correct way. There's very little that we don't share a common interest in. Whether it's our tastes in music, movies, videos games, outdoor adventures, frolicking in a field of flowers or even Pokemon - we always find a way to make the best of any situation when we're together. I'm the luckiest person on the planet to be able to find a person like Payton and have her in my life. I'm even luckier to be able to call her my wife after May 18th. When I'm not playing music for Byron Daniel & The Five Dead Dogs, I'm making sure the coffee equipment for PJ's Coffee is kept in tip top shape. To our wedding party: Whether I've met you through through Payton, a music festival, a band, life-long friends, or anything else in between; I'm fortunate to be surrounded by some of the best people I consider to be my friends, coworkers, and bandmates and even luckier to have all of them apart of our lives. The abundance of love that each of you fill us with powers us through anything. Thanks for being you and being apart of our day.

Hi my name is Andy and I'm big stupid because I didn't write a bio like I was supposed to.

Payton met Hannah as she cried for her mom in kindergarten after being dropped off at her new school- Folsom Elementary. They weren’t declared best friends until 8th grade, when Payton and Hannah bonded over their love for theatre, music, watching her brother Christian play scary video games, horses, honey, and laying in the sun together in empty fields. Through high school and college and some of what seemed to be the toughest and most trying years of their lives, their friendship continued to blossom through it all. Hannah still can’t believe she has the honor of standing next to her childhood best friend on the day she gets married. Spot her on the day of crying her eyes out and “putting mascara on to hope for tha best”. —I love you Payton Caroline Core. To us growing up together, getting married, and all of the inside jokes for the rest of forever.

When Brittanie first met Payton she wasn’t sure if they’d ever be close, but sisters are always getting on each other’s nerves. Fast forward to six years later, Brittanie is married to her brother (Christian Core) and they're sisters for life! She couldn’t be any happier to watch Payton start this new chapter in life with Christian Colonna.

Gabby, a very ridiculous goose of a person, is a collector of cool quarters and enjoys writing songs. She loves dogs and the color pink! Honk. Gabby met Payton at auditions for her first college show, She Kills Monsters. Payton immediately caught Gabby's attention by laying on the floor and burping with enough force to power a whole city. Whenever Gabby was chosen to attend a theatre conference, she was deemed with the task of finding a scene partner. Payton, being the absolute star she is, was Gabby's first choice. After many proposals, Payton agreed to be Gabby's scene partner and the rest is history! Gabby and Payton went on to win APO's "The Best of Friends" award and had many Taco Bell dates outside of the D Vick theatre. Gabby is thrilled to be a part of this special day and can't wait to dress up as a bubble gum princess!

Amber met Payton their Freshman year of high school in the CHS musical theater program. During one of their first shows together Payton gave Amber the nickname Fairy. “I'm not sure if she forgot my name or if I was looking particularly ethereal that day but it stuck” and a life long friendship was born. From jamming out in Amber’s old Ford Excursion, to crying in costume closets and adventuring in Tennessee, we have really grown up together. These days you are more likely to find Amber on a hiking trail, birding, or working in a national park than on a stage. Luckily their friendship has grown far beyond their theater productions together. —I am so happy to be apart of Payton's and Christian big day. Cheers to growing up and finding Love. See you on the dance floor!

Zach lives in Memphis, Tennessee with his wife and their baby daughter. Christian and Zach met in 2019 at Bonnaroo and they never looked back. Zach met Payton in 2020 and his whole friend group instantly loved her like they had all known each other forever. Zach can’t think of two better people, or two people who make each other happier, than these two. BANANA BOOOOOYS FOR LIFE.
