Alan & Kathleen
Wedding Party
Lucas Rodriguez
Best Man
Alan's younger brother and former wombmate- the only brother he feels can legitimately challenge him in a game of 1 vs. 1 basketball or soccer, which is the highest compliment Alan can offer.
Nico Avila-John
Best Man
Alan's older brother. Though separated by a few hundred miles between Dayton and Cleveland, they remain as close as you'd expect a pair to be if they spent 9 months squeezed in a womb together.
Jennifer Palahniuk
Maid of Honor
Kathleen's older sister and first ever friend. Kathleen serenaded Jen with Reba's famous "My Sister My Friend" on an old karaoke machine the night Jen left for college. Kathleen has been creeping Jen out with her love for her older sister ever since.
Lindsey Bakewell
Matron of Honor
Kathleen's best friend for 20 years. They must have done some weird voodo stuff at a sleepover in middle school because to both of their surprises they got engaged on the same damn day. If you need additional evidence as to the amazing person this lady is, the fact that she stuck with Kathleen through all the awkward phrases (i.e jean skirts and knee high tie socks) should start to explain the saint that she is.
Scott Palahniuk
Groomsman
Kathleen's older brother and future brother-in-law to Alan. A talented musician with vocals reminiscent of John Mayer and Andrea Bocelli. Also the literal definition of "dad goals."
Alex Bertke
Groomsman
Proof that when you're stuck in a hot, windowless van together for 5 hours every summer weekday for a summer job on UD's campus, you become pretty close.
Marc Galvan
Groomsman
Have you heard the saying "opposites attract?" This doesn't apply here. In all seriousness, he's helped Alan through the hardest times in college, aka Calculus I, Calculus II, and Visual Arts 101.
Brittany Rathge
Bridesmaid
From studying for music theory exams to co-parenting each other's fur-babies, Brittany is one of those friends who just makes everything better. Often referred to as Kathleen's "wise friend Britt" she is the beaming definition of loyal and sweet. Alan's favorite thing about her is her ability to call Kathleen out for being dramatic, which is literally everyday.
Kate Gallup
Bridesmaid
Do you believe in soulmates?! Well Kathleen does, and Kate is her person. Kate came into Kathleen’s life like a “Wrecking Ball” (we may or may not have choreographed a dance to this song in matching nightgowns) during her senior year of college, and Kathleen’s life instantly got 10x better. From girl trips to escape the Boys to convincing each other that they NEED that super cute top on shopping trips, Kate is the kinda best friend you can’t imagine how you survived without.
Mattie Palahniuk
Bridesmaid
Ever since Mattie married Kathleen's brother she has brought such energy, fun, and fashion (Lord knows Kathleen needed some) into their family. She has led by example on how to be a killer wife, patient mama, and just a general good human being.
Faye
Flower Girl
Faye is perfect. That is all.
