Andrea and Wyatt
Wedding Party
Lydia Kiefer
Maid of Honor
An avid runner and musical extraordinaire, Lydia has remained my close friend since middle school. She is a passionate UNC Tar Heel fan, giver of the most thoughtful gifts, and most importantly, has remained a steady source of joy. Never ceasing to impart wisdom and always willing to lend a listening ear, Lydia’s tender heart and quick wit will captivate you.
Lance Shields
Best Man
Lance is no stranger to forging his own path. He is deeply unique, wildly and often awkwardly hilarious, on top of being unrelatably knowledgable about structural engineering. Underneath his rugged exterior is one of the most gentle and kind-hearted guys you'll ever meet. He is my biggest role model, and coincidentally, my brother.
Annie Han
Bridesmaid
Being around Annie will instantly make you feel like a million bucks! Our friendship began in the middle of a strawberry patch and has continued in spite of her move to Nepal and Dubai. She and her family are deeply invested in overseas missions. No matter how your day is going, she has an ability to look on the sunny side of life and offer hope, life and humor!
Kesh Rao
Groomsman
Kesh is the king of charm, wit and making friends everywhere he goes, while skillfully remaining true to himself. He is deeply thoughtful, patient and talented in just about everything he does. He is always cracking jokes and making me laugh. Sometimes he makes others laugh too. Not only has he been a remarkable friend, but he has remained close like a brother (sup fam).
Rhea Votipka
Bridesmaid
[Our parent’s] love of history, on the fields of 18th century Revolutionary War reenacting, is how my friendship with Rhea began. From cooking pies over an open fire to cheap facials in her living room to spring break in Chicago, her humor, sass, love for Jesus and dedication to our friendship have given me a consistent source of encouragement over the years. She also has a smile that can light up the whole room!
Travis Johnston
Groomsman
Travis is the near-embodiment of the ideal man. Don't let his Bambi-like looks fool you, there's a lot going on under the hood. He is a sharp and thoughtful listener, gentle, artistic, adventurous, and hilarious. I have had the honor of being his friend since childhood, and he has remained by my side through it all. Also, I hear he's single.
Amy Puz
Bridesmaid
Although I met Amy only a few years ago, her faithful friendship has meant the world to me. She is always down for an adventure, whether it is rollerblading, hiking, painting in the basement, or convincing me to donate outdated clothes. Always quick to jump into any situation with zest and enthusiasm, her artistic flare and creative mind never ceases to amaze me.
Kedar Prabhudes.
Groomsman
Kedar truly has a heart of gold. His genuine smile, lovable and innocent sense of humor, and steadfast commitment to those closest to him make him an indispensable and lifelong friend. Kedar sees the best in everyone. Plus, he has a gift for making strange noises and a genius for memorizing license plate numbers.
Linda Wendling
Bridesmaid
As my sister in law, Linda has given our family so much joy. She is quick to provide heartfelt and cheerful encouragement, as well as essential fashion advice (she has been known to talk me out of a few bad outfit fiascos). Thankfully, she, my brother and her daughters have lived nearby for several years and have always been quick to provide food, fun and plenty of wine!
Bill A. Donati
Groomsman
Bill is a natural-born leader and a man of great integrity. Tall, light-skinned and handsome, Bill is quick to be there for his friends. Ever since childhood, when I threw a stapler at him because my mom liked him more than me, he has remained a loyal and lifelong friend. I look up to him in more ways than one.
