The Dynamic Duo
Andrew Whipple III
Groom
The man who resolved to propose to his beloved by placing an actual ring in Mordor. If you don't know the story, just ask Erin about it. Andrew was born and raised within the confines of New York's own Mordor, aka Syracuse. From there he wandered the crystal blue, traversing states as ephemeral gateways to the future. The last one he stepped through brought him to Buffalo, a place that he profoundly loves everything about. That is, almost everything—the exception being the Buffalo sports teams. It's here he met the lovely Erin, some of his closest friends, and a craft beer scene that should be considered hallowed ground.
Erin Wattengel
Bride
A Buffalo native and lover of animals, horror movies, and Lord of the Rings—Erin's priorities are the cats, books, movies, and then, maybe, Andrew. Erin's a pharmacist—always has been, always will be. Her weaknesses consist of Sherpa anything, heavy blankets, and falling asleep whenever a cat climbs on her. She's a serial snacker of various cheeses and savory dishes (over the sweet ones) and has given up loading the dishwasher correctly. Her one sin is she hates brie. She's also told Andrew that she "doesn't love" pizza. Yes, she is still getting married.
