Riddle + Lantz
Wedding Party
Karen Peña
Maid of Honor
Karen (Dracula) and Alana (Sasquatch) met in Pre-K when Alana was the only person from the whole class who came to see Karen's new puppy. They instantly became inseparable - probably because of their shared obsessions with Aaron Carter and horror movies. Karen now lives in New Orleans and therefore claims responsibility for any and all bachelorette party debauchery that ensues.
Jason Abendschein
Best Man
Two-year-olds Jason and Andy built a snowman together in the winter of 1987 and have been best friends ever since, even though Andy was partially (mostly) responsible for Jason breaking his leg in 1st grade. These two have most likely eaten more frozen pizza and played more Tecmo Super Bowl than anyone you know, and they once drove all the way to the east coast without speaking more than you probably already have today.
Katie Williams
Bridesmaid
Katie is Alana's future sister-in-law. She's a Kindergarten teacher who loves animals, especially her basset hound Kona and guinea pigs. It's said that when Andy was born, one-year-old Katie sat in the hospital room doorway to protect her newborn brother, and she didn't get up until she met Alana. Alana is looking forward to a lifetime full of side-splitting laughter while playing late-night games with Katie.
Jeff Williams
Groomsman
Jeff is Andy's bro-in-law and has the best beard of anyone at the wedding, so better luck next time. He's also a master homebrewer and worthy adversary in the ice bucket challenge (the one that makes your hand very cold, not the one that raises awareness for ALS). Whatever you do, just make room on the dance floor for Jeff when "Mony Mony" comes on.
Kelli Murchison
Bridesmaid
Kelli and Alana had a sweet apartment in college with a cool tapestry and Bon Iver on loop. In 2016 the pair watched every episode of Sex and the City and consumed tons of cacio e pepe and wine. Kelli recently returned to Houston after living in New York, where she worked at Blue Hill Farms and became the most elegant culinary queen.
Zach Riddle
Groomsman
Based on the awkward mannerisms these two siblings share, Zach is basically Alana with a beard. You can usually find Zach at Juniper, where he is chef de cuisine and thus responsible for creating some of the best dishes in town (seriously, go eat there right now). As a kid, Zach used to dress up as Batman and Elvis Presley. No word yet which costume he'll be wearing at the wedding.
Briana Rojas
Bridesmaid
Briana and Alana became close friends in high school, as both of their houses were the "party houses” (allegedly). They once had courtside seats for a Spurs game, where they developed a scheme to marry Spurs players. It didn’t work - Alana met Andy a week later. Briana recently moved to Austin, which means she and Alana can get wine drunk and attempt to read each other's tarot cards as often as they please.
Eric Shea
Groomsman
Eric and Andy have been hermanos ever since middle school Spanish class and have single-handedly kept Zacatecas Mexican Restaurant in business since the early 2000s. They are also the founders of Subatae Suntacts (ask for investment opportunities) and formed the feared 9-11 combo of Neenah Men's Power Volleyball. They are fully capable of communicating through movie quotes and random outbursts of sound.
Michelle Wilk
Bridesmaid
Barbara Bush Middle School was rocked when Michelle and Alana became friends in 6th grade. They really bonded at the dumb age of 18 when they traveled to Nicaragua together. Michelle now lives in Colorado with her weenie dogs and will probably save our planet one day. If she doesn't, we'll find a way to move to Pandora together and live happily ever after under Eywa.
Jeff Mychaskiw
Groomsman
Jeff and Andy are childhood friends that remained close even after Jeff moved to Del-a-where? in high school. Now that they both live in Texas, they get together for Packer-Vikings games, even if that means having to meet at the Applebee's in Brenham.
Bailey Bounds
Bridesmaid
Bailey and Alana became friends in Mrs. Kuentz’s 4th grade class and started calling each other Bloob somewhere around 6th grade. They've been through a lot together and the golf course behind the Riddles' house has seen it all. If you're lucky, you may catch us doing our secret handshake at the wedding. Bloob now lives in Dallas with her fiancé Jeff, who she met while working for working for the Spurs. Go Spurs Go!
Monica Chapman
Bridesmaid
Monica and Alana became close during those awkward middle school years. She has the voice of an angel and the sickest dance moves. If you're out on the dance floor, you'll spot her. In high school, Monica did significantly better than Alana in AP Chemistry, given the fact that she's now a PA in San Antonio, where she lives with her husband Zack and their doggo Crimson. Alana caught the bouquet at their wedding, so she's to thank for all of this.
Yolitzin Lopez
Bridesmaid
Yoli and Alana shared an office while working in social work straight outta college. The job kicked their butts straight into a beautiful friendship full of ramen dates and weird Halloween costumes (e.g., Guy Fieri & a cheeseburger). Yoli now lives in El Paso and is working towards becoming a Speech Pathologist. Alana hopes they will share an office again one day. Fun fact: Yoli has a dog named Noodle and he is a gentleman and a scholar.
Nic Zurko
Usher
Andy's nephew Nic is a walking, talking encyclopedia of sports knowledge, so brush up on your facts before you challenge this guy to a trivia battle. He also has some mad rhythm and may or may not lead you to your seat while doing a Fortnite dance.
Evan Gerst
Usher
One minute Andy's nephew Evan will entertain you by jovially surviving a Tommy Boy-like crash, and the next he'll stump you with a deep thought that would make Jack Handey proud. He's also a master on the slopes, so don't be surprised if he leads you to your seat on skis.
