Best Man
Joe and Peter have known each other since the ripe age of three. After a brief and unintentional scholastic separation, they found themselves tackling each other at middle school football tryouts. It's funny where only children find their siblings.
Bridesmaid
Bailly and Alice have been friends since their freshman year of high school. Bailly helped Alice pass Earth Science and they've been inseparable ever since. Brought together by their love of movies, traveling (especially to Italy), theatre, and books, Alice and Bailly have grown to be more like sisters.
Groomsman
Dan and Peter grew up less than a mile away from each other and played high school football together. As kids they spent summer afternoons riding bikes to Sheldon's Ice Cream parlor and the Golden Peacock. Though he is now big and strong, let us never forget that there was a time where Peter was the tall one.
Bridesmaid
Alice met Kat in middle school. They have been causing trouble ever since.
Groomsman
Mat won Peter's lifelong friendship with a gorilla impression so animated, it required two dorm beds and a stained armchair as a stage. Together, Mat and Pete went on to lead kayaking and backpacking trips, win and lose rugby games, earn two biology degrees, and even share an apartment.
Bridesmaid
Alice met Jenn at an event to learn about the Health Communication graduate program at Emerson College, to which they had both been accepted. Jenn said she was unsure if she would be enrolling. Alice told her that she was, and thankfully, she did. Alice knows she wouldn't have finished the program without Jenn's support and sense of humor.
Groomsman
Josh was the first person Peter met on move-in-day of their freshman year of college, striding across the hall grinning with his hand extended. They went on to make each other laugh through biology classes, res life trainings, and all-around tom foolery. Just goes to show you, you should always say hello to the kid next door, you might well be stuck with them.
Bridesmaid
Tiffany and Alice became friends while taking Epidemiology and Biostatistics in grad school. The torture bonded them for life.
Groomsman
Matt and Peter met in middle school geometry, attracted by shear force of personality. They went on to play in garage bands, wrestle on championship teams, act in plays, and explore mountain streams together.
