Quinn Gruber

Ben and Quinn met working together for the Indianapolis Indians right out of college. Quinn is Ben's best golfing buddy and they take at least 1 if not multiple trips a year. You wont find a bigger Oregon fan on the east coast. Quinn is married to his wife Joan, and they reside in Raleigh, NC.
Bryant Cotton
Groomsman
Bryant and Ben met at St. Mary's hospital back in 2016 at the vendor check in station. They both hit off immediately due to similar backgrounds with work and college athletics. Bryant was a former pitcher for St. Louis University while also getting to play in the Yankees farm system. Ben and Bryant share a passion for Marvel/DC films and always debrief after a film to review. Bryant currently resides in St. Louis, MO.
Matt Winningham
Groomsman
Matt and Ben met while during their time at Independence Golf Club in Midlothian, VA. They instantly hit off due to both being from the southern parts of the USA (GA/FL) respectively. Matt is a former hockey player who is also a die hard Tampa Bay Lightning fan. Both Matt and Ben take many golf trips together and share a passion for playing new and difficult courses. Matt currently resides in Roanoke, VA.
Jack Cleary
Groomsman
Jack and Ben met at Independence Golf Club and immediately hit it off. Both being former college athletes (Jack was a catcher at the University of Maryland), there was an instant competitive connection on the golf course. Jack has the most similar taste in music out of all of Ben's friends, they both text regularly on the latest music that is dropped by their favorite artists. Jack is currently residing in Midlothian, VA.
Kylie Ruybalid
Matron of Honor
Alice and Kylie met at VCU Health six years ago while working on the same nursing unit and have since shared many travels, many a glass of wine, dancing, tears, laughter and love. Kylie and Alice both also share a mutual love for the outdoors, cooking and soaking up the sunshine. Kylie is married to her husband, Max, and they reside in Richmond, VA with their beautiful daughter, Cora Rose.
Heather Stoddard
Matron of Honor
Yes folks, Alice has two Matrons of Honor because, how could one choose? Heather and Alice met freshman year of college while a wall separated the two in Ramsey Hall. From dorm living, to sharing a room in their apartment on Walnut, to sharing a house on High, these two honey-mustard-chicken-pizza loving gals have never lost touch, despite the number of miles between them. Heather has recently moved back to her home state of Pennsylvania where she resides with her husband, Drew, and their two beautiful daughters, Reese and Sydney.
Lynse Ambers
Bridesmaid
Lynse and Alice also first met while working together at the hospital. Lynse has supported Alice during her most trying times, so naturally, Alice could only want Lynse to stand by her side during one of the happiest times in her life- her wedding day! From their first Pho dinner date, they knew it was pho-ever. Lynse currently resides in Varina, VA.
Kasia Bauer
Bridesmaid
Even though Kasia always knew how to push Alice's buttons to make her mad (like stacking the kitchen barstools in front of her bedroom and tying them together so she could not get out), Alice wouldn't trade her for the world. Kasia is not only Alice's wiser older sister but a woman she has grown to look up to as a wife, mother, and teacher. Kasia currently resides in Fleetwood, PA with her husband, Joe, and wonderful daughter, Adaline Belle.
