Wedding Party
Eva Weber
Maid of Honor
For some reason, Eva has been Abby's absolute best friend since about eighth grade. They initially met in seventh grade since their lockers were close to each other, but Eva was smart enough to avoid getting too close to the girl who wore multiple popped collars at the same time and Crocs. Since becoming friends, Eva has endured many friendship interventions, rude comments, and punches to the boob. Abby thanks the cosmos everyday that her horrible attitude all throughout high school somehow never made Eva run away. Our favorite pastimes include: night swims, reminiscing about high school, and sitting in silence and looking at our phones.
Levi Alpert
Bridesman
Levi is Abby's technical real first friend since they first met in the nursery at Yale New Haven Hospital when Levi was a day old. They reconnected at a birthday party when they were four and bonded over their desire to both be pirates someday. For the third and final time, they met sophomore year of high school in theater and bonded over good movies and good books. Favorite pastimes include: talking about movies, making playlists, and hanging out with friends in cars.
Zoë Marissen
Bridesmaid
Zoë is one-third of the all powerful Bebes. Abby met Zoë at transfer student orientation at Pitt. By their second year, they were enjoying weekly Bebes night where the Bebes would drink wine, watch RuPaul's Drag Race, and ramble about social issues they cared about. Without Bebes, Abby would have never fallen in love with Pittsburgh. Pastimes include: making and eating nachos, trying to prevent Abby from spending too much money on books, and crying on the floor laughing at the "Take a Look at that Snout" and "New Speaker of the House" video.
Trevor Morrison
Bridesman
Fortunately for Abby, Trevor moved to Connecticut and became friends with Levi at college. Abby first met Trevor during the winter break of their freshman year when they and a group of friends spent too much money on hibachi. After that, they became fast friends and would spend time together with their friends during every break from school. Pastimes include: Trevor making the absolute best playlists ever, quoting Kyle Mooney over pancakes at Sunnyside Up, and raucous games of JackBox.
Natalie Shafer
Bridesmaid
Natalie is one-third of the all powerful Bebes. Abby met Natalie one weekend at Pitt while getting brunch with a mutual friend. Eventually, Bebes started spending most weekends together drinking wine, watching Rupaul's Drag Race, and rambling about life. Their love for each other has transcended distance. Pastimes include: catcalling men from roofs, thrifting at Avalon, and dancing to Bratz.
Emily Sullivan
Bridesmaid
Emily met Abby on April 1st, 1993, and that's when she knew her life would never be the same. Throughout the years, Emily has had to endure having carefully hid chocolate chip cookies stolen, getting margin notes as unwanted feedback, and the general desperation of a middle sister. They have had many laughs and goofs throughout their literal almost lifelong friendship. Favorite pastimes include: staying up late and talking and talking and talking and talking.
Greg Sullivan
Bridesman
Abby met her little brother Greg on his birthday in 1998. Soon after that, she dealt with the pain of no longer being the baby of the family by cutting her own bangs. Despite all the random times she decided to beat him up, they have become great friends. Favorite pastimes include: ordering multiple platters from Sushi Palace, shopping, and singing along to Lana Del Rey in the car.
Patrick Kenton
Groomsman
Michael and Pat met in high school and bonded over their shared love for video games and movies. They had endless nights of watching movies like Blade Runner and playing games like Halo 2 on Pat's basement projector. Now they share a love for craft beer, whisky and board games.
Mike Kenton
Groomsman
Michael and Mike met each other in high school and shared a love for gaming. Today, when they aren't hanging out and playing a board game together, they are often playing a video game online. They also share a love for the band Phish.
Frank Wallace
Groomsman
Michael and Frank met in high school and bonded over their shared love for the miserable New York Jets. They are also both New York Rangers fans - a team who has at least seen some success over the last decade.
Ghost
Guest of Honor
Ghost is our guest of honor. She has been a beam of constant joy and wonder ever since she joined our lives. Unfortunately, she will not be able to attend our wedding, as she would most likely meow and pee all over the cat carrier on the trip over. She also would never be able to choose who's wedding party to join (just kidding, obviously Michael's). Also known as: Baboo, Zucchini, It-Bit-Prit-Kit-Miss, etc., etc. Favorite pastimes: morning snuggles, sleeping everywhere, playing with her toys, and begging for tuna.
