Wedding Party
David McDermott
Best Man
Like most of Ross's wedding party, Beta Theta Pi brought him lifelong friends like David. They both attended Westminster College and became fast friends in their fraternity. David and his family "adopted" Ross throughout college, spending some short holidays and long weekends with his family when he could not go home. David moved to Germany last October, pursuing his love with his girlfriend, Avery. David enjoys a good beer and cigar. He is also a great conversationalist. Find him at the wedding if you want to talk about... well... anything. Ross's best memory with David is all the "studying" they did in college.
Erin Rosendahl
Matron of Honor
Erin and Autumn have been friends since middle school. They have stuck together from middle school into graduating from Arizona State University together. She has been a true friend as they have grown up together and supported one another through many life events. Erin is finishing up medical school and is starting her residency this summer. She and Paul just got married in February. They love spending their time with their dog, Lulu. One of Autumn's favorite memories with Erin is when they went on a guided tour of the Colosseum in Rome, Italy. They lost their group and ran around the Colosseum, using the increasing frequency of their headsets, to find the group. After running around looking a little lost, they reunited with their group.
Graeme Boyter
Groomsman
Another fraternity brother, Graeme, and Ross met in college. They bonded by playing many intramural sports together. While living in Nebraska, Ross, Autumn, Graeme, and his wife, Jenna, all played in a slow-pitch softball league. Graeme enjoys fishing as well as hunting and fitness. Graeme and Jenna had their baby, Charlotte Mei, last August. Both Graeme and Jenna are physicians in Nebraska.
Chelsea Hintze

Chelsea and Autumn met while working at Banner Desert at their first nursing jobs. Chelsea's silly and friendly disposition made them great nurse friends. Such great friends that Autumn was the first to meet her and her husband, Russell's first child, Claira. Autumn is lucky to love on both her kiddos, Claira and Connor. Chelsea is now an ICU nurse at Desert. She enjoys spending her time with her kids and snuggling her cats.
Jack Ketcher

Another Beta friendship, Ross and Jack met in college. Jack currently lives in Washington, D.C., and works with the federal government.

Khyana and Autumn go way back. They first met playing little league coach pitch (Autumn's dad was the coach) and later became closer friends in high school.

Russell Wohldmann
Groomsman
You guessed it! Another fraternity brother of Ross's. Russell and Ross initially bonded over their mutual love for baseball, and both pursued careers in sports. He works for the Sugarland Space Cowboys in Texas and tries to travel with his girlfriend, Kayla, as often as possible. He is commonly characterized as the life of the party and can certainly be found on the dance floor.
Kate Taylor
Bridesmaid
Kate and Autumn met during nursing school. They bonded over their many Starbucks runs and clinical hours. Though Kate and Autumn are very similar, they have different nursing interests. Autumn loved her pediatric and OB rotations, while Kate loved neurology and ICU. They both disliked the opposite's favorites. Kate adopted her dog, Dobby, during nursing school. She and Dobby enjoy relaxing in their backyard on sunny days. Autumn and Kate have enjoyed commiserating over nursing, sushi runs, and shopping.
