Wedding Party
Greg and Tina
Parents of the Bride
Mother and Father of the Bride. These are the people who gave me such high expectations of what love and marriage should look like.
Linda and Jerry
Parents of the Groom
Erik's parents. Married 40 years and going strong.
Joanne
Maid of Honor
Joanne and I met in graduate school and have been besties since. Although our at times dissimilar personalities have made people wonder at our strong friendship, our communal love of science, board and card games, and debating (nearly everything) has made our friendship one for the ages
Chris
Best Man
Erik’s brother. His go to adventure buddy since the early days fishing and exploring the woods behind our childhood home to eventually various national parks, fishing streams and ocean flats.
Katie
Bridesmaid
Katie and I met during my postdoc at the University of Chicago. Although I was convinced she hated me the day we met, turns out we were meant to be work wives and even ended up working together at AbbVie.
John
Groomsman
Fast friends since the first day of middle school and roommates for all 3 years at MSU. Go to hiking and skiing buddy when visiting Colorado.
Julie
Bridesmaid
Julie and my aunt but she's always been so much more like a sister. She's my confidante and ally and I couldn't be happier to share this day with her.
Brett
Groomsman
Close friends since middle school. Remained close after Brett’s move to Breckenridge which has turned into a home away from home for skiing, hiking and just spending quality time with Brett and his family.
Samantha
Bridesmaid
Sammy and I have been besties since we met at the park in our neighborhood when we were 7 and 8. So wonderful to have her by my side on this day.
Nick
Groomsman
Middle school buddies to college roommates who grew closer over the years.
Gina
Bridesmaid
My soon to be sister-in-law! So excited to have lucked out on the sister-in-law lottery!
Pete
Groomsman
Close friends since middle school, college roommates and eventually neighbors in Chicago. Frequent cooking partner and occasional fishing partner.
Lydia
Flower Girl
Lydia is my (Britney's) cousin and the spiciest girl I know. She's adventurous and brave and one of the coolest kids out there.
Ellis
Flower Girl
We're so excited to have this sweet and smart, future Disney princess as part of our wedding party.
Cole
Usher
Cole is my (Britney's) cousin and a future rock star. Make sure you say hi so you can say you knew him when. He's one awesome kid and we're so excited to have him be part of the wedding party.
Grey
Ring Bearer
Erik's god son, soccer player, Taekwondo master in training and great big brother to the flower girl Ellis.
