Wedding Party
Brandon Buck
Officiant
Brandon aka Buck was one of the first people Billie met at SIU. He was already part of the friend group that she joined. Being a year older and having a house outside of the dorms, his place quickly became the pregame destination and where to watch cable TV. Basically every weekend was spent together as a friend group. Buck and Bridget began dating and once the girls lived in the City, he was lovingly referred to as the unofficial roommate. It is important for your significant other to like your friends, but if it were up to Bridget and Billie, Buck and Cole would enjoy hanging out about 10% less than they do. They became fast friends and now Cole builds out his work trips to have an extra day or two in Dallas to get back to their old shenanigans.
Bridget Buck
Maid of Honor
Bridget and Billie met freshman year of college. In the hall while waiting for class to start, Bridget walked up to Billie, declared that she “looked cool” and asked what she was up to later that weekend. They ended up sitting next to each other the rest of the semester, going out all year and then moving into their first townhome together. After college they were roommates once again for their first apartment in Chicago. Some of their favorite things to do together are going to music festivals and concerts, sweating at workout classes and spending hours at a good restaurant.
John Konstantelos
Best Man
John and Cole met on the first day of second grade and have been watching extended versions of the Lord of the Rings for the intervening 25 years. College was the only stretch they haven’t been walking distance to each others houses, which was quickly remedied by living together for a few apartments in Chicago. Currently, they can be found playing [slightly below] average golf or having an old fashioned while causing issues with the regulars through the TouchTunes.
Brenda Konstantelos
Something Blue
Billie & Brenda met in 2017 when they both started dating Cole & John and crashing at the boys apartment. What started as passing interactions and bump ins after the bar soon turned into a real and lasting friendship. Through the years there has been many double dates and vacations together. Billie can count on Brenda to always be down for a delicious drink, some retail therapy, or a spontaneous heart to heart.
