Matron of Honor
My beloved seester and best friend. Mom always said that we would like each other someday and she was very correct! Thankfully, Hannah has forgiven me for pinning her down and making her punch herself in the face. Glad she still loves me enough to stand next to me as my Matron of Honor! May the Gudim Family Summits continue for years to come.
Best Man
My little brother Liam will always be little to me. Even though we coincidentally stopped fighting when he hit puberty. He's my forever gaming buddy and has a great sense of humor, even though he's starting to go down a really weird meme culture path.

"In a city of 8 million, sometimes you find the 2 you need" -The New Girls. I wouldn't have survived much less stayed in New York without Hannah. She doesn't understand any of my references or songs, but she understands me on a deep, personal level. And that is more important.

I always thought she was the coolest. And still do. It's a blessing to have an older sibling blast a path and draw all of the attention of your parents. She is also a crazy good illustrator and painter, it's insane. Check out her insta: @miss_caitlin_rose

The glue that keeps The New Girls together. Alikay, Hannah and I moved to NYC within weeks of each other, and Alikay was the one who persisted in setting up playdates and created this beautiful trifecta. Thank you for seeing past my obnoxious exterior to the slightly less obnoxious interior.

I love this guy but I can't stop bullying him. At this point I'm pretty sure it's his fault. But seriously he's a loyal, authentic friend you rarely come across, and the best drummer I know. Also I beat him in Goldeneye in the 7th grade. This is officially true because it's written here.

This is a plug for our YouTube page, @ForBekahandKellie's10fans. My whole life I believed Kellie was weirder than I, until a poll amongst our friends concluded that I was the weirder one., thus shattering my world. We signed a contract in 7th grade stating that we would not change, and I think that we have stuck to it pretty well... #penguinprincesses4lyfe

Known Ben a long time. Played a bunch of music together. We good. I don't know how this guy is still alive.

Kara and I met in 7th grade percussion and were the only sophomores in our class to get into concert band, a fact that I am still proud of. We have talked through the good, the bad, and the ugly, and there has never been a more consistent friend in my life. Kara, I'll be your #1 fan, standing in the front row at your concerts, grinning from ear to ear until the day I die!

The first time I met Phil we sat down in his truck and he pulled out a butterfly knife. I have no idea how his brain works but sometimes it's the funniest thing ever. He is a dad now and I couldn't be happier for him.

Our friendship began in college as Amanda elbowed me awake in our 8am class so as to keep me out of trouble with the professor. Before Amanda, it was as though there was an empty hole in my life, a meaningless void. After Amanda, I was complete (see photo). You could even say we were two bodies, yet one soul... And now we will be #2bods1soul2husbands.

Olive is the most adventurous and smartest kid on the block. Bekah is jealous of her cape and style. Sean thinks she is the coolest. We are so happy that she is part of our life!

I am Nutz for this gal. There are few people I would trust with this official role and I know the party will never die with Emily in charge. So if she says dance, you will dance. We said for years that we would one day live together, and being roommates this past year in Longfellow will go down as the greatest Get Down in history. #GetDown2020
