She went to Barnard for undergrad, and is currently working toward a graduate degree at Columbia. She'll be moving to London next year to continue her studies.
Brendan Polmer
Groomsman
Greg and Brendan met at CNN around 2009. They've stayed friends through the years as people came and went from CNN (including Brendan, who is now with Bloomberg). Most of the time, when they are hanging out we are eating food. One time that was in New Orleans during Jazz Fest, other times it was crabs or crawfish at Brendan's house.
Alix Heyes
Bridesmaid
Caitlin and Alix met on Day 1 at Duke and have been friends ever since! They lived together, traveled together, and even chose the same, obscure major. Alix is living in Miami and attending Miami University Medical School. She'll graduate with an MD/MPH and quickly become our most educated friend (she also has a masters in Physiology).
Danny McLaughlin
Groomsman
Danny and Greg forged their friend while living together in DC. They quickly bonded over a love of ales, all things New England, and disagreeing with everything Tommy Park had to say. They are true mates and Danny is honored to be a part of Caitlin and Greg's wedding.
Katie Hillyer

JC Rodriguez
Groomsman
Another former resident of the 919, JC and Greg met just a few years ago, but became fast friends. Once a Capitol Hill staffer, JC currently works in politics.
Michelle Corea
Bridesmaid
Caitlin and Michelle met in Ms. Bryan's cooking classes in 4th grade. For the uninitiated, she was a Miss America contestant turned cooking and baking instructor. We mostly threw flour at each other and terrorized her neighbor's peacocks. They've remained close even though they went to rival schools (Caitlin to Duke and Michelle to UNC).
Tommy Park
Groomsman
Tommy and Greg met when Greg was looking for a place to live, and he found the 919 on Craigslist. That townhouse in Navy Yard has sparked many a friendship that has lasted even as guys move in and out. Tommy played soccer at Mary Washington and is currently the director of the Alexandria Soccer Association.
Tatum Pottenger
Bridesmaid
Caitlin and Tatum met in preschool at Durham Academy, but really cemented their friendship in middle school. Tatum went to Davidson College and, after two years working in Warrenton, NC with Teach for America, is now working in the Davidson Development office.
