Bridesmaid
My idol since I was five years old and crying as she left for college, Mauri and I have always been close despite being years and miles apart. We’ve eaten our way through New York City together, finished a triathlon together and partied at Disney till the wee hours of the morning.
Best Man
A story as beautiful and complex as the man himself. We've crashed college parties in Cambridge, spent way too much money on food (especially in Chicago), and never shied away from making fun of each other whenever one of us stumbles over our words. He was my mentor in divine comedy and I was his teacher in the gym. Legally, Allison and I have already adopted him as our first child. Stacey truly is the best man.
Bridesmaid
Kristen was my main motivation for putting on a full polyester uniform with accompanying feathered hat in the middle of hot South Carolina summers and marching around a football field. She never once minded me tagging along and always gave me good book recommendations along the way.
Best Brother
Resume includes: Rowsell Alien exploration (pictured above), Not getting sunburned climbing Mt. Borah, and celebrating Christmas with Shamu. Widely regarded as "the favorite grand child".
Bridesmaid
Two years older than me, my sister Ashley always embarrassed me when, singing and dancing to music in her car, she’d abruptly turn off the music right at the climax, leaving me to belt it out on my own. Now seven months pregnant, I’m excited for Ashley to name her third daughter after me as recompense.
Best Buddy
From 9th grade football friends in Idaho, to door to door co-salesman in Houston, to 3x room mates in Utah--we've been through it all.
Bridesmaid
Friends since the day I was born, Madison has been through it all with me. She knows the origin story of my life-long crush on Mr. Clean and I was with her through every crush up until she met her very own Mr. Clean.
Bridesmaid
If the pinnacle of life is road tripping to Maine to see Dolly Parton perform live, then Laurann and I have peaked. She's also been in a Dolly Parton movie, so being a bridesmaid in our wedding is a step down for her.
Bridesmaid
We cemented our friendship by challenging the flautist hierarchy in 6th grade band. She can create a masterful cheese whiz appetizer and has maybe never forgiven us for laughing while she recited poetry in front of our 12th grade English class.
