Officiant
Best friends since college, Charlie and Andréa have always bent over backwards for each other. From being late to shows to being early for fundraisers, they've laughed the entire time. When Charlie met Ian, they became quick friends (after Charlie called him a newb at Black Friday shopping). When it came to picking officiants, Ian and Andréa knew immediately who it had to be.
Maid of Honor
When Andréa and Liz met on the first day of first grade, it was best friends at Sailor Moon lunchbox. Liz has stood beside Andréa in everything, from stitch and bitches to roller skating down grassy hills to shooting BB guns in Liz's back yard. Even though they're separated by distance, their friendship is still strong. Andréa told Liz she'd be her maid of honor over ten years ago now, and that's about the one thing that's always been a constant.
Bridesmaid
Samantha and Andréa met at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire. An inventor and a cooper never had such fun, and soon plans were made for winter holidays, New Year's, Passover...any excuse they could get their hands on to hang out. After enough visits to the cabbage patch, it just made sense: Sam had to be a part of this day.
Bridesmaid
Look. You can only write so many harmonies together without forming a lifelong bond. Jennifer and Andréa were forced together by their music director, but the energy stuck.
Bridesmaid
Originally Charlie's next door neighbor, Andréa and Gwendolyn met at a Pokémon party. Andréa and Gwendolyn bonded over nerd stuff at that party late one night and have never looked back. They have supported each other through thick and thin, and have had many sleepovers at new apartments while helping the other move. It was only natural that Gwendolyn would be standing with Andréa today.
Groomsman
David was Ian's very first childhood friend. They've known each other for 30 years! They've been through everything together from riding bikes as kids, to navigating high school, to learning how to be adults. And now, marriage!
Groomsman
Another of Ian's oldest friends, he's known Pat for around 30 years as well. They have fond memories of trying to stay awake all weekend in his basement with 5 of their closest friends, trying to beat whatever latest video game. They may have gone down different paths in life, but Ian still considers him one of his best friends.
Groomsman
Kyle is one of the most genuine stand-up guys you'll ever meet. Ian met him through Andréa's friend, Charlie, and since then they've enjoyed many days of talking about all sorts of nerdy topics, and they clicked almost immediately.
Groomsman
Jacob is one of the smartest people Ian knows. They bonded instantly over their love for weird engineering and train things, and Jacob's just an all around great guy.
Groomsman
Not only was Chris born on the same day as Ian, they have a mutual love of Andréa. This is particularly nice because Chris is her brother. We're excited to have him up with us, sharing the love.
