Amy & Jonathan
Wedding Party
Quinn Ryan
Maid of Honor
Pretty quickly after Amy moved to NYC, Quinn swooped-in to become Amy's closest friend, all starting during SantaCon Snowmageddon. Over the years, the two have become inseparable as friends, and recently for a failed brief stint, coworkers. A loyal, authentic, and always witty friend, Quinn was also one of the few to witness firsthand the development of Jonathan and Amy's relationship. From ski trips to late night patio hangs, Quinn quickly became a staple in their lives and has steered their tricycle of friendship from everyday memories into life-long ones. For Amy, she couldn't imagine standing up there on her wedding day without her best friend by her side.
Christopher Eakin
Best Man
The youngest two of all five Eakin kids, it didn't take too long before "Christopher & Jonathan" rolled off the tongue like it was "peanut butter & jelly." It was near age 12 when the two really became inseparable and practically every component of Jonathan's life was funneled through his big brother. As days turned into decades, the two would experience a compilation of late nights, 24 hour support, college visits, tandem camp-counseling, DIY ear-piercings (sorry mom), and one epic Europe trip - all of which significantly guided Jonathan through life's biggest stages. It's somewhat strange when you look back on your biggest milestones and see such a glaring streamline of consistence - that streamline has always been Christopher.
Thuy-Tien Pham
Bridesmaid
Thuy (or Twee, if you prefer her Starbucks name) is one of Amy's oldest and closest friends from all the way back to Union Grove Middle in McDonough, GA. Geography never being a factor in their relationship, Thuy has been the most steadfast friend. She is the kind of person who will make homemade ramen for you any time of day, or will stay up late when she's dead tired just because she wants to hang out with you. The kindest, most genuine person you will meet, the wedding party wouldn't feel complete without Thuy.
Kevin Eakin
Groomsman
The eldest and occasionally wisest of the Eakin brothers, Kevin is a balance of intellect and loud noises. While in one moment he might be providing you with damningly astute advice on your life or career, the next he may turn around and begin screaming Bon Jovi until that neck vein explodes. Growing up in different decades allowed Kevin to toss Jonathan around like an actual rag doll, boosting his self defense skills from surprise slap attacks and teaching him to be picked up by your head (underrated skill). Decisive and sturdy, Kevin has taught Jonathan invaluable lessons along the way, and even led Jonathan to not only the same beautiful college, but the same beautiful(?) fraternity that Kevin once attended. A brother in more ways than one, Kevin’s presence is unparalleled.
Amy Frischhertz
Bridesmaid
After working together for nearly 5 years, Amy and Amy (also commonly known as Bramy and Blamy) fostered their work wife relationship into a best friendship, that recently now crosses many many states. Hailing from New Orleans, you can count on Amy for the best music recommendations and for always cheering you up when you've had a bad day. From an excessive amount of taqueria tacos to shooting deer at Doc Holidays to shooting music videos in New York, the Amys have one more conquest - the wedding day.
Patrick Eakin
Groomsman
On June 5th, 2014, Patrick took Jonathan out after dinner to celebrate his 24th birthday, where they wound up meeting a girl named Amy. While the Eakin family sulks watching Patrick be good at everything he touches, we can officially add wingman-skills to that list. Being there for Jonathan on the night he met Amy has only been a fraction of the role Patrick has played, and living within a stones throw of one another for 6 years certainly hasn't hurt their relationship. A talented, brilliant, competitive rock for Jonathan, with everything from late night philosophical talks to long road trips and failed social clubs, Patrick is notoriously there when times matter most.
Danielle Burch
Bridesmaid
One of Amy's fondest memories of her childhood is sleeping in her sister's bed every Christmas Eve, staying up late talking and wondering what Santa has in store for them the next morning. While the bed sharing was very short lived, they have shared many fond memories since. A loyal big sister and a caring mother, Danielle has the biggest heart for the people in her life, from her family to the children she works with professionally. And while the two sisters have come a long way from wearing matching dresses and sharing a bathroom, Amy can't wait to celebrate her wedding with her sister by her side.
Adam Wallach
Groomsman
Marrying into a family that has four brothers sounds like something either from an Adam Sandler movie or an Alfred Hitchcock movie. While its honestly tough to tell which is more accurate, what we do know is that there is no single person better suited for the task than Adam. Jonathan's entire New York City experience of nearly 6 years has been in the same neighborhood as Adam, and for several of those months (too many sorry), was even in the same apartment. Adam has helped guide Jonathan through the chaos that is Manhattan, which wouldn't be the same without his no-bullshit advice. From late nights, to touch-football championships, to a legitimately uncountable amount of road-trips, Adam has cemented a spot by Jonathan's side.
Jennifer Wallach
Bridesmaid
Amy met half of Jonathan's family (which is a lot) before she even met his sister Jennifer. Now, years later, Amy can't even fathom life without her in it. From random wine nights to random caribbean trips, Jenn is a rock that Amy has come to lean on. Forever positive, always reliable, brazenly encouraging, Jenn has cemented a major role in Amy's life, and is not just a future sister-in-law but a true friend.
Eddie Lane
Groomsman
At the pre-kindergarten water-fountain was where Eddie and Jonathan first met. They had no idea that their relationship would turn so solid, just like the liverwurst sandwich that Jonathan's mom had packed him that day (and every day). Those ever-important elementary school years turned into adventurous middle school years, tastefully awkward high school years, and then some always-studious (ha) college years. This dynamic duo even joined the same greek organization, and have been pretending to be awesome ever since. With Eddie back in Virginia, Jonathan's NYC adventure is actually one big experiment on long distance relationships. Practically holding hands through every life stage, Eddie truly knows Jonathan inside and out, and it'd be genuinely impossible to get married without him.
