Bridesmaid
Grooms sister, but after meeting her Susie could not wait to officially claim her as sister. She also is getting married this year to another one of our favorite humans (Nick Hogan) and it has been a joy walking through engagement season with them.
Bridesmaid
Groom's new sister in law, marrying best man Levi Smucker. She is the most supportive, encouraging, kind-hearted person that Susie feels luckier than a whole field of four leaf clovers to have as a new sister who required only moderate coercion to also be Susie's friend.
Bridesmaid
Susie's long term roommate, pandemic buddy, and best of friends. It's a special friend who walks with you through early adulthood life and that is what Dominique provided Susie over the ~7 years while living together. She has lived with Susie while she was in rotations, residency and supported her all the way through- she even was on the phone with Susie keeping her calm as she walked up to her first date with Ben!
Bridesmaid
Bride's friend since 6th grade tournament team basketball. Inseparable during the formidable middle school years with braces and splitting head phones on bus rides with angsty teenager music blaring, to now sharing the joys and challenges of adult life Taylor encompasses the unique and special blessing that is old friend turned to chosen family to Susie.
Bridesmaid
Courtney and Susie were previous roommates and also went through the trials and tribulations of pharmacy school together. Courtney has supported Susie in both tangible ways with delicious meals, sage advice, a listening ear, fun times and intangible ways like setting up Ben and Susie. Cramming for tests and digging bugs out of Susie’s eye didn’t deter Courtney from becoming Susie’s long term friend and adopted sister.
Bridesmaid
Susie's friend since undergraduate at OSU and roommate for multiple years while in Corvallis during undergrad and pharmacy school. Despite the significant time Brittany and Susie had to spend studying, Brittanys quick wit and loyal heart made sure there was infinitely more fun to be had with her around. From the scare tracker, themed dinner parties, country western dancing, and vacations together, to witnessing Brittany get married and start her family, Brittany has always been one of Susie's biggest supporters and adopted sisters.
Bridesmaid
Susie's friend from their second year residency. Any friend who you prepare and give a two hour presentation to a room of very smart people bonds you tightly together. While incredibly smart- Katie's best qualities shine outside of her work-- she is fiercely loyal (for example tracked Susie's location during her and Ben's first few dates), the ultimate encourager (hyping Susie up for work and date nights alike), and the best listener (despite continuous venting of aforementioned work and dates, pre-Ben of course).
Bridesmaid
Susie's friend since their brothers played on a traveling basketball team together while Susie and Madi were in middle school! She truly saw me through each transition in my life, in high school playing sports together and watching Madi thrive (with some help in stats class), to cheering each other on at separate colleges, our early careers and finding our spouses. Our friendship is incredibly special -- we have grown from awkward middle schoolers to slightly less awkward high schoolers, to happily awkward adults and I have fully enjoyed enjoy each season of life with her.
Bridesmaid
Simona was one of Madi's closest friends and therefore Susie pestered Simona until she had no choice but to become a treasured friend since high school. Simona is the friend that knows how to put to words what is on Susie's mind and heart better than Susie. She has lent a listening ear, kind word and happiness to Susie for over 15 years.
Bridesmaid
This was the first of Ben's friends that Susie met and from the beginning Susie knew it would be lifelong. Susie thinks the only explanation is she unknowingly used a game of life cheat code to find such a close friend in the spouse of one of Ben's closest friends and groomsman Taylor Sheldon.
