Wedding Party
Jenn Wittwer
Maid of Honor
Jenn and Abbie were roommates for 2 years, with a friendship cemented by vegetable puns and rom-coms. In the early days of our dating, Jenn probably listened to Abbie talking about Ross (and to Ross talking about Abbie) more than anyone, and has been a dear friend to us both ever since we've known her. Her many skills include obesity medicine, all types of exercise, giggling, party throwing, and egg avoidance.
Ashley Choe
Maid of Honor
Ashley and Abbie became fast friends as interns in residency and subsequently have traveled the world together (France, Italy, Greece, Ireland, NYC, Mexico, Grand Cayman, and more to come). Ashley was also very instrumental in the formative pre-dating Abbie - Ross relationship and she makes every day events way more fun.
Helen Herrle
Bridesmaid
Helen and Abbie were on the same dorm floor freshman year of college and became close friends and roommates with many days spent at Caribou Coffee studying and many nights eating Ben and Jerry's and watching Grey's Anatomy. She is best known for her generosity, loyalty, creative pranks, and her intermittent southern accent.
Cora Rowe
Bridesmaid
Cora and Abbie met freshman year of college and became friends and then roommates over the next 4 years. Only ever fighting over the orderliness of the apartment, Cora and Abbie have shared lots of laughter, great conversations, and Christmas music video productions. She has a big generous heart and is a great listener.
Lauren Chatham
Bridesmaid
Lauren and Abbie became fast friends as interns, during an unfortunate rotation. Abbie knew Lauren would be a keeper when she brought Abbie a giant chocolate chip cookie for lunch on a day that was too busy to get real lunch. We have shared many meals (Winslow Wednesday's!) and life experiences since then. She is a deep thinker, a bad knitter, and a wonderful, thoughtful friend.
Katie Adrian
Bridesmaid
Katie and Abbie became friends Junior year of high school and have had countless sleepovers, Disney marathons, Gilmore Girl quotes, and funfetti cupcakes. Their friendship endures through visits whenever possible and long conversations over phone or FaceTime. She is a kind and generous friend!
Katherine Middlestetter
Bridesmaid
Katherine and Abbie met in 8th grade science class and became friends not long after. From painting her new house and jumping on the trampoline to planning weddings and talking about families and the future, their friendship has stood the test of time. She is best known for her animal conversation etiquette.
Kate Gaudin
Bridesmaid
Kate and Abbie met in high school and almost immediately found each other funnier than most other people did. Kate continues to be easy phone conversationist and a great cruise ship adventurer, though she is not known to be a great olympic hurdler.
Evan Widney
Best Man
Evan and Ross have a storied past as they met as teenagers living in the same hometown in West Virginia. They spent quite a bit of time together in college, even as roommates for a while! They reunited later as career paths took both of them to North Carolina, where they often meet in the Raleigh-Durham area to catch up. The two of them enjoy adventures, afternoons & evenings out on the town, and reminiscing about old - oftentimes embarrassing - stories about Ross.
Doug Snyder
Groomsman
Doug and Ross met in North Carolina as they began medical residency together. The two remained close companions throughout their training and time in Greenville. They enjoy running together and share a passion for health; Doug even convinced Ross to embrace a vegetarian diet for a few months. Rumor has it that they may have interviewed together as a team as they both took positions at the same hospital after graduation - but this hasn't been independently validated. Doug has a kind heart & is always a dependable, trustworthy friend.
Molly Widney
Groomswoman
Molly lived a couple floors above Ross in the dorms as freshmen in college. If we're being honest, their friendship got off to a bit of a rocky start. However, they grew together over the years and they have a very sweet, close friendship now! Molly fell in love with Evan (see "Best Man" above) and Ross learned a lot about life & love from the two of them and their marriage. Usually it's a tie but sometimes Ross thinks that Molly is his favorite of the Widney duo - please don't tell Evan.
Rudy Sanchez
Groomsman
Rudy & Ross met during medical school and have remained friends for years since then! They've travelled to some of the great American cities, witnessed LeBron playing in his prime, and angered plenty of Canadians together.
Tony Chatham
Groomsman
Tony and Ross met in North Carolina as they each completed medical residencies at the same hospital. The two of them have had wonderful times attending church together, road tripping to rock concerts, and sharing dinners with their lovely significant others! Tony has a sweet disposition and an even sweeter wife & infant child. Speaking of his wife, Lauren is going to be one of the bridesmaids! Tony boasts arguably the coolest-looking thumbnail photo of the bridal party members.
Grant Goodman
Groomsman
Grant is Abbie's older brother and, obviously, Ross's soon-to-be brother-in-law. The two of them seem to exclusively spend time together on the coasts as they first met at Grant's home in Southern California and they have also vacationed together on the beaches of North Carolina. Grant has been very warm and welcoming towards Ross as a new member of the family!
Luke Goodman
Groomsman
Luke is Abbie's brother and, once again, Ross's soon-to-be brother-in-law. Luke and Ross have spent summertime at the beach and winters in the deep midwest. They enjoy Christmas caroling, telling silly jokes, and reminiscing over embarrassing stories about Abbie. Ross is very excited to have Luke as the younger brother he always dreamed about!
Michael Blaj
Groomsman
Michael befriended both Ross and Abbie as the three of them began their medical residencies in North Carolina. They've enjoyed quiet evenings together in Greenville, NC and wild days in South Beach. Michael has been a wonderful & supportive friend to the bride & groom throughout their relationship.
