Allie & Andrew
Wedding Party
Natalie Perkins
Matron of Honor
The younger sister of the bride, Natalie and Allie go way back - all the way back. They both share a deep love of free samples.
Molly Schupp
Co-Matron of Honor
Molly and Allie bonded on a b-school project in South Africa over their love of sushi, shoes, and champagne! They continue their South African shenanigans in DC.
Natalie Engel
Maid of Honor
Natalie and Allie immediately connected over Disney movies and fairy tale endings. They both are so excited to have a new sister.
Jessie Clark
Bridesmaid
Jessie and Allie have been best friends (and inseparable despite short and long distances!) since the second grade. Doughnuts are often the main topic of conversation.
Allison Hawkey
Bridesmaid
Allison and Andrew attended the same grad school. Immediately after the two Allisons met, Allie told Andrew that Allison was going to be her friend...and look whose side she's on!
Mallory Kissel
Bridesmaid
Allie and Mallory met through Molly and realized they had more in common than just their friend. Their dream friend date includes lots of rosé champagne and karaoke for anyone who will listen.
Diana Peiffer
Bridesmaid
Diana and Allie met the first week of business school and were brought together by their no-nonsense working style. Fortunately, they did allow for nonsense outside of the classroom!
John Pesko
Bridesman
Allie and John met in the 8th grade when she moved to New Mexico. Six years later, they became roommates. Allie says he's still the best roommate she's ever had (sorry Andrew!).
Zoe and Khione Perkins-Engel
Flower-Children
Allie and Zoe met in September 2015, and it was love at first sight. They've been inseparable ever since. Khione is a new addition to the Perkins-Engel household, and all three ladies are so happy to have Andrew as a fourth adventure buddy for life!
David Engel
Best Man
The only brother of the groom, David and Andrew share a love of music instilled in them from their father. They met in 1992 after Andrew waited six long years to finally have a brother.
Brandon Aitchison
Co-Best Man
Brandon and Andrew met working in the Senate. They bonded during their masters program and traipsing through the same worn-torn Arab Spring countries.
Jason Eisen
Groomsman
Jason and Andrew met at American University, where Jason delivered the perfect pitch deck as to why Andrew should join Sigma Chi. Their friendship grew as both visited each other in various Middle Eastern and African countries.
Zac Elkaim
Groomsman
Andrew and Zac met and bonded over the absurdity of their workplace, but found they had much more in common than a Michael Scott-like boss, including their love of their four-legged children and Israeli hummus.
Bill Fisher
Groomsman
Mutual experiences - Sigma Chi brotherhood and the love of the outdoors - brought Andrew and Bill together. Good hiking and great beer are generally the main topics of conversation.
Burc Ozcelik
Groomsman
Andrew and Burc met at a think tank in DC, both of their first "real jobs" after college. Though they've outgrown cheap DC happy hours, you can find them chatting over a nice dinner and a glass of wine.
Phil Perkins
Groomsman
The only brother of the Bride, Phil and Andrew both feel more at home strapped to skis than in shoes. They prefer to aprés-ski with a glass of Colorado whiskey.
Cole Woodward
Groomsman
Andrew and Cole met in kindergarten. Their friendship blossomed as most 5-year-old boys' friendships do - over Star Wars and legos. Their tastes haven't changed much over the years.
