Parents of the Bride
Parents of the Groom
Maid of Honor
Allison and Megan met at PwC and quickly bonded over a mutual fear of their boss and the unspoken rule of not asking him any questions after 2pm. Better known outside of PwC as Megs or (crazy) Meggles, she is always ready for a good time and full of opinions and attitude. She is also caring and always finds time to make a cross country trip to visit Allison and Matt.
Best Man
Stone and Matt were dual fraternity brothers, sharing membership in Sigma Chi and Beta Alpha Psi. Together they have walked many roads; their journeys took them to exotic locales ranging from the halls of Savery for 2:00 AM study sessions to their ancestral home of Ireland. If you ever need compassion from perhaps the most caring person in the world or just a piece of candy from his never-ending stash, Stone's your guy.
Maid of Honor
Rounding out the PwC trifecta is Sarah. Sarah and Allison met at Colorado State through their mutual love of debits and credits. The two became fast friends through their internship and welcomed Megan into the group when they all began full time. Sarah always keeps everyone laughing and can also be found at every PwC reunion visit to see Allison and Matt.
Groomsman
Leif and Matt were in Sigma Chi together and roommates in San Francisco. Leif defies description. This Norwegian embodies the viking spirit, approaching with unmatched ferocity every undertaking in his life. Whether it be graduating college early, rocketing up the corporate ladder, or convincing you to go to a party in an unmarked warehouse at 1:00 AM, Leif's enthusiasm is unavoidable and he won't rest until you join him.
Bridesmaid
Kelly was born two years after Matt, and they've been close ever since. Though they now live in different states, Kelly loved Matt so much that she joined Kappa Kappa Gamma just to live directly across the street from him. Arguably the better looking and more fashionable of the Finan siblings, Kelly and Allison immediately hit it off. They share a mutual love of horses and bonded over that from the start. Now Kelly and Allison can be found shopping or getting manicures, anything to skip the football games and other male-bonding activities.
Groomsman
Brother of the Bride. Adam has always admired Allison, so strong is his desire to follow her footsteps that he borrowed her idea of naming his dog after a former Bronco. Adam and Allison are very close, and their dogs Peyton (Manning) and (Champ) Bailey might be even closer still. Matt and Adam first met on a family trip to Mexico and hit it off immediately with their similar silly senses of humor. If there's a football game of any importance being played, you can expect to find that Matt and Adam have located a TV with it playing.
Bridesmaid
Another long time horse friend, Mia and Allison first met in middle school. Always a leader, Mia would come up with new hits for the girls to learn to rap. Thanks to her focus and dedication, the horse girls all still remember their respective sections of each Nelly song 15 years later. Fortunately, Mia used these leadership skills to move on to bigger and better things - orthopedic surgery. Though we can all rest easy knowing that if that doesn't work out, she has a strong karaoke set to fall back on.
Groomsman
Matt's relationship with Miles was built on a rock-solid foundation. Early in their first year at Sigma Chi, Matt accidentally punched Miles in the face, but it was smooth sailing after Matt offered an olive branch in the form of a large pizza. Dr. Miles plays God professionally, unraveling and reconstructing the very fabric of life on a daily basis. Behind the facade of a cynical scientist lies a truly great friend.
Bridesmaid
Originally Allison's riding instructor, the two quickly became friends when Stacy wasn't critiquing Allison's riding. Over the years, Stacy has been Allison's weekend horse home, assistant dog trainer, therapist, and forever friend. Her reaction was priceless when Allison shared they would be moving to Michigan (Stacy's home state) and even more priceless when Matt and Allison escaped 3 years in Michigan without a single day below zero degrees.
Groomsman
Matt was initially drawn to Zach due to his awe-inspiring Halo skills, a game he could often be found playing at Sigma Chi. The grace and elegance of his sniping call to mind a well-armed gazelle. In the years since, Zach has remained a great friend to Matt and is always among the first people he calls when visiting Seattle. Whether he needs someone around to understand his obscure internet reference or just generally to have a great time with, Matt knows Zach's his guy.
Bridesmaid
One of the strongest and most resilient women in Allison's life, Brittany has overcome many challenges and keeps landing on her feet (just like her massive cat Carlisle). These two met through horses and remain friends through their sense of humor, adventure, and love of the Broncos. Whether they are tearing up the streets of South Beach, yelling at the Broncos on TV, or trading new workout moves, odds are they are having a good time. You can guarantee these two are laughing, even if no one else knows why!
Groomsman
Alexandros is Matt's favorite Greek South African, and among his two favorite Greeks in his wedding party. Matt and Alexi discovered each other in law school through a shared love of corporate law and, more importantly, electronic music. Alexi possesses the strength of Heracles, and is one of the most resilient people Matt knows. More than that, he's a great friend.
Bridesmaid
Ali and Allison share the same name, (almost) the same birthday, and the same apartment through college. The two lived together for three years and collected a number of animals along the way; not limited to a snake, hedgehog, two rabbits, and a Corgi. Watch out when the dancing begins - if you see flashing lights, it is likely Ali's light up shoes and her killer dance moves.
Groomsman
Panayiotis Treperinas fills out the other half of Matt's favorite Greek people. Matt and Pete were in Sigma Chi together, and a true friendship was born when each realized they could always count on the other to finish out an Anchorman quote. Pete is a walking sports almanac, his sports knowledge rivaling his comprehensive library of South Park lines, both subject matters that Matt is always happy to delve into with him.
