Wedding Party
Megan Zahursky
Maid of Honor
Megan and Alyson met in middle school and bonded on the seventh grade volleyball team. Their friendship continued to grow through high school marching band, phone calls and letter writing in college and their shared passion for teaching and Taylor Swift!
Ryan Yee
Groomsman
Ryan and Andrew are both from Strongsville and really solidified their friendship in college. Even though Andrew went to Akron, he spent most of his weekends in Kent hanging out with Ryan and the other guys. Ryan still holds the prestigious title of being the person Andrew has lived with for the longest amount of time (excluding his parents).
Cara Williams
Matron of Honor
Cara and Alyson met working at the YMCA Summer Camps in college and their friendship was solidified by the shared trauma of the 17 year cicada swarm that summer. Cara also gets matchmaking credit, as after several years of talking about getting them together, she introduced Aly & Andrew!
Jake Williams
Groomsman
Tied with Michael for for being Andrew's longest-known friend, Jake and Andrew met in middle school and have stayed friends ever since. Much to their significant other's dismay, when Andrew and Jake are together the overall brain power of the two drops to alarming levels. This doesn't seem to bother them however, as their will always be a smile on their faces when they are together.
Annie Searson
Bridesmaid
Annie and Aly were roommates sophomore year of college and have been inseparable ever since! They immediately bonded over their love of crafts and puzzles and enjoyed many bus adventures and shopping trips through Columbus during their college years!
Jack Cortelezzi
Groomsman
Jack and Andrew became initial friends freshman year of high school in gym class. Depending on who you ask and who tells the story, Jack is credited to being the bridge of merging the friend groups of Andrew and his middle school squad and Jack/Ryan and their friends, thus leading to this well filled out wedding party we have here today.
Madelyn Smith
Bridesmaid
Madelyn and Alyson mastered the long distance friendship long ago and have stayed friends and pen pals across the miles their whole lives! They have been friends since elementary school and continue to support each other's lives and the lives of their Sims no matter how far apart they are!
Michael Diemert
Groomsman
Tied with Jake for being the longest-known friend, Mike and Andrew became close friends in middle school. Technically Mike holds the honor of having met Andrew first, as they did go to the same elementary school as well, however a blossoming friendship was far out of reach at the time due to the ever hostile geo-political elementary school environment. Bonds were forged later in middle school when the tricky political climate died down.
Aaron Musser
Officiant
Honorary groomsman number five and certified officiant is Aaron. Long-time friend of Andrew and the other groomsmen, he didn't make the groomsman cut because he decided he wanted to officiate weddings. Too bad!
