Jessica & Cameron
Wedding Party
Michael Needham
Best Man
It was originally a split arrangement: Michael and his stuff took up two-thirds of the room, and Cameron got what was left. Four years later, they both have all of each other's hearts. Well, almost. Jess beat him to that one. Never play Smash Bros Melee against him
Mary Rose Stepnowski
Maid of Honor
Bearer of bacon-gifts and partner-in-crime for all things adventure-related, from swimming with whale sharks to scouting out the best coffee shops in Livermore. Makes amazing scones and knows the ins and outs of proper fountain penmanship. A fantastic trip planner and lifelong friend.
Mark Trompeter
Groomsman
The fastest man on the BAC soccer team and the reason the collective IQ of our apartment was above average. One of the best people to discuss theology or philosophy with and a solid friend whenever you needed one. If you're going to ask a question, make sure it can't be answered with philosophy.
Bonnie Trompeter
Bridesmaid
Yet another tenacious soul who braved the rigors of the Biology Department with Jess. Vivacious and always down for adventures, even if these adventures were largely trips to the nearest coffee shop or empty classroom to study. According to Bonnie, humans and donuts have a lot more in common than one can comfortably admit.
Nick Baldwin
Groomsman
Cameron's best friend growing up in the Shenandoah Valley. He was always down to run rampant outside or go adventuring together.
Nancy Lopez
Bridesmaid
Jess's second roommate in college and fellow sufferer through the Belmont Abbey Biology Department. Quite possibly the world's largest fan of The Office and all things Disney. We hope that she will keep sharing crazy stories about her veterinary adventures in the years to come.
Anthony Beauregard
Groomsman
I moved in with this guy my junior year thinking "I don't really know him, but Michael vouches for him and he doesn't look like a stoner, so let's risk it." I can confidently state after living together for two years that moving in with Anthony and Mark was probably the best decision I made in college, after asking Jess out. Funny, charismatic, and the best tall-tale-teller I know, I've spent many a late night chatting and goofing off with Anthony. It's "How you doin?", not "How are you doing?"
Crystal Cortez
Bridesmaid
Jess's first roommate in college who introduced her to the finer things in life: giant fluffy blankets, Abuelita Hot Chocolate, and The Prince of Egypt. A fantastic kindergarten teacher who always has many loves for her students and family.
Joshua Brand
Groomsman
I think the first thing I remember doing with Josh was scraping gum off the bottom of the basilica pews as a volunteer project, which is how I first met Jess. From there it could only get better. Nerf wars, D&D campaigns, going on double dates, we did it all. A complete nerd at heart and one of the nicest people you will ever meet. "Roll for initiative!"
Emma Brand
Bridesmaid
Fellow Owl City enthusiast and Jess's birthday sister. Shines with smiles and starstuff. When they weren't busy doodling on each other's notebooks during philosophy lectures, Emma and Jess could be found drinking way too much coffee under the guise of studying at a coffee shop. There's a positive correlation between the amount of caffeine consumed and the number of cringeworthy puns made when these two are together.
Zachary Jones
Groomsman
Brother of many years and fellow mischief-maker growing up. Even separated by a great distance, we still find ways to spend time together to this day.
Emily Jones
Bridesmaid
Avid artist and budding vocalist, Emily is the younger sister of Cameron. When she's not drawing or singing with her friends, she's practicing archery or playing with her dog, Coco.
