Maid of Honor
We met in 8th grade and bonded over being taller than all the boys. Now we bond over vegan recipes and our new careers as engineers.
Best Man
Kyle's brother. Not only is he older, but he is cooler (and has better hair)
Bridesmaid
Our friendship is built on the pain of 400 meter sprints and the mutual love of Taylor Swift. After meeting on the Michigan Tech track and field team, we were so excited to continue to our friendship as resident Yoopers.
Groomsman
Scott and Kyle met in their hometown of Central Lake and continued to be friends through their years at Michigan Tech. We're hoping to get free car washes for life by putting him in the wedding party.
Bridesmaid
We met when Tess came home from the hospital on my birthday and the rest is history. After sharing birthday parties for years, I'm excited to share this day with my sister (but I get my own cake!)
Groomsman
Kyle and Jay met their freshmen year at Tech and are possibly twins separated at birth. Jay and Kyle are both surveyors and also like to annoy anyone they hike with by knowing all the Latin names of Michigan based plants.
Bridesmaid
The youngest of the Thurston girls, Maya has always tagged along with me and now she'll be tagging along for the big day. She's been training for this day for years, already accustomed to me bossing her around during playtime in typical big sister fashion.
Groomsman
Kyle met Brad (also known as Lil B) at Michigan Tech and roomed with him all the way through their super senior 5th year. We've considered registering for a rice cooker to re-gift to Brad so he doesn't have to make the boil in bag rice anymore.
Groomsman
Kyle met Max at Michigan Tech and roomed with him for 2 years. They've been together for all life's little lessons, like when Max learned how to use a can opener in his 3rd year of college.
