Caroline & Cal
Wedding Party
Courtney Hall
Maid of Honor
My twin sister! Favorite memory: We were turning 8 (or so) years old and throwing a pool party! Unfortunately, it was August in Alabama, so of course, it stormed like crazy that day. Courtney, overcome with dismay, started singing, "happy raining birthday Caroline and Courtney. Thank you, thank you. Buh-bye." over and over again until the sun came out. She deserves an Grammy for that one.
Chris Reed
Best Man
Will explode golf clubs if given the opportunity; innovative recycler and street-luger; dedicated NBA Jam '94 & whiffle ball home-run derby competitor; successfully executed a face-plant off a roof and walked away completely unscathed; will never mountain bike again.
Smrithi Hariharan
Bridesmaid
Room/floormates from Sharp 2 to Irby to the Shambly Palace Favorite memory: Smrithi is a baking extraordinaire. My personal favorite is her extra gooey and decadent slutty brownie (layered Oreo, chocolate chip cookie, and brownie). Whenever she would bake, I'd pop in to check the status... every five minutes. And once they were done, she'd torture me by making me wait until they had cooled properly. We'd play the game of "is it ready yet?" until the time came, and then I'd bolt into the kitchen at full speed. Worth it. Smrithi, if you're reading this, can you ship me a slutty brownie?
Tyler Ruiz
Best Man
Made hopscotch the cool thing to do in high school; Assessed, analyzed, and concluded that jumping off of a 40 foot chimney was worth the risk; the joyful experience is his family's pride and glory; Gale force winds, Disney, and naps in the backseat of publicly parked vans make him really happy; has more talent at more things than you, guaranteed; Owes me a steak dinner.
Lizzie Faulkner
Bridesmaid
We met in Sharp 2! It's hard to pinpoint a single favorite memory with Lizzie! From the early days in Sharp 2, it seems like all of my favorite memories involve Lizzie. Whether we were dressing up for a Theta party, going to parades or RUF events, or just watching movies together, Lizzie's always been the small to my tall.
Sterling Tadros
Best Man
Slip-n-slide racing hero; once used a glow stick to break into school; skilled investor of government property; certified basketball trick shot specialist; knows nothing about beer.
Tianna Mantz
Bridesmaid
My Theta Little! Favorite Memory: During big/little season, we went to a sisterhood event at the classiest establishment around: the Palms. We spent the whole night dancing and at the end of the event, we noticed a surplus of uneaten pizzas. Instincts kicked in, and we both grabbed full boxes of pizza to take home and walked all the way back to our dorms looking like the Dominos delivery service.
Nick Reyes
Groomsman
Not afraid to harass Chargers fans; happy to replace broken screen doors on short notice; perpetually scarred from spending 15 years of his life losing at golf despite my attempts to let him win just once; almost good at Mario Kart and being on time.
Jenna Jones
Bridesmaid
We met through Lizzie! Favorite memory: Jenna came to my debutante ball, which was Nutcracker themed. Accordingly, the venue was covered in Nutcrackers - like 3-4 feet tall statues. At the end of the event, Jenna snuck one of these Nutcrackers underneath her gown and out of the building. While this may have been stealthy, her screaming "look what I stole!!" only 10 feet away from the venue was decidedly not. For the rest of the evening, she introduced everyone to her new friend Gerhardt!
James Flynn
Groomsman
World record holder of blocked shots on children aged 10 and younger; Co-starred in Stuntmen Extraordinaire's I, II, and III; unsuccessfully seduced my dad with an elegant birthday poem; negligently installed a padlock onto my truck's ignition...forever; Devendorf of this Millennium
Kaitlyn McPhillips
Bridesmaid
Best friend since middle school, though Kaitlyn claims we met at SPS summer camp. This favorite memory is more of a compilation. You see, Kaitlyn has many talents, but balance is not one of them. She has fallen through the deck in her backyard, over the seats at the movie theater (while saving the nachos), into a pothole, and on her face, just to name a few. We've been through a lot together but these scenes continue to make me laugh every time.
Jason Stein
Groomsman
Able to visibly upset an audience with an extensive repertoire of dad jokes; A finance professional, although his greatest investment was his black beach cruiser; oddly impressive wakeboarder; spent too much time studying economics in college; favorite holiday is 4th of July.
Tyler Barrier
Groomsman
Enjoys discussing the Federal Reserve, the merits of Tucson, Arizona, and a causal game of ruthless beer die. Big fan of South African yaks and goats.
Cameron Rankin
Groomsman
Had a great time at Cedric's going away party; impressive architect using Mike's Hard Lemonade souvenirs; deceptively responsible; worst fear is the sun.
Ryan Stewart
Groomsman
Exhibits a questionable level of maturity at all times; co-Invented an indoor baseball-like sport creatively utilizing Natural Light and household items; misplaced his car in downtown Chicago; proud survivor of East Hall.
Kevin Ahnert
Groomsman
The Wall Street Journal and a coffee bring him the most joy in life; desperately wishes his golf game was respectable; has profound respect for bus stops, In-n-Out Burger, and Wiz Khalifa; highly skilled sniper.
