Corrine & David
Wedding Party
Brittany Hoffman
Bridesmaid
Friend from College and Lookout House Roommate. A huge part of Corrine braving the move to AZ <3. A master choir educator who rocks leather pants.
Mike Matera
Groomsman
Soccer player, teacher, coach, wild card. Born two days before David, Mike has always claimed to be two days better at everything. From the elementary school mile run, sunset golfing in middle school, and snow filled soccer session's in High School but now has to accept the fact he is not two days better at getting married first. You can catch this wild card anywhere at any moment doing the unexplained and wondering why you're not best friends with him yet.
Leah Murfield
Bridesmaid
Friend from College. Shared the attic room at Lookout House. Fav adventure buddy to have boxed wine in nature with, the best at regular face times, willing to tell her boss we are cousins and fly from Myanmar to join the festivities.
Connor Dolan
Groomsman
PHD. Washington DC. Owner of a very cute toy schnauzer. Met on the soccer field in middle school, leg of the "tripod", science nerd. Spent 2 weeks in a car with Dave without showering and pit stopping at national parks taking long back packing trips with no one for miles but Dave and a couple of bears. Connor can be found talking science by the bar but really wanting to shake his butt on his newly wed on the dance floor until his legs give way.
Betsy McCue

Traveler. Free Spirit. Real Estate. Friend since kindergarten, grew up playing soccer and lacrosse, spent long weekend nights having sleepovers and the occasional video game bender (unfortunately for our SO's still do). Backpacked through 7 countries in Europe together and didn't end up robbed or in prison. Currently resides in Asheville NC and can be found at the wedding bar giving big tips and bigger smiles.
Jade Hovet
Bridesmaid
Friend and Roommate from College. Friendship has spanned across the entire country. Loves food chemistry, cooking, and wine. Wore a pink sequin mini dress to Bucks on her 21st birthday and insisted that we stay until bar close (I think on a Monday?). If you see this girl on the dance floor bring her a drink!
Jared Epstein
Groomsman
Sports! Comedy. Fellow Matzo lover. Friend since elementary school, college roommate, fellow traveler through Europe, traffic phone call buddy, Sunday football facetime, can't go a week without dropping a shalom, hey how ya doin'. You can find Jared laughing the night away with everyone he meets.
Lauren Berger

College Friend, Granskou Dorm Roomie. Played a monumental role in helping me establish some of my most and least healthy habits. Biggest fight was over an apple sophomore year.
Jake Sipple
Groomsman
Apple. Big Apple. Tech Icon. Cyclist. Friend since kindergarten, tossed spoons on the lax team, and hit the books at UConn no one knows how to throw back an espresso martini like Jake. From ASP mission trips to Spring break of Senior year Jake has always been there to watch over his little buddy. Catch him on the dance floor flashing his legendary moves with lots of elbows and eye contact.
Mindy Moeller

Shane Li
Groomsman
Physical Therapist. Chicago. High Fashion. Broski. Shugga. David moved to Arizona knowing no one in 2016 and hit the roommate and PT school jackpot. Always down for a laugh and a good time, Shane will likely live until he's 110 and still live like he's 22. You can catch Shane being smooth as hell on the dance floor while double fisting a wine and beer.
Emily Meyer

Mike Cerreta
Groomsman
Real Estate Mogul. Bradley Cooper Twin. Artist. Poet. Friend since elementary school. David has fond memories of being tormented by Mikes little sister with a wooden baseball bat, High School shenanigans, late night trolling the Stamford streets, and beach house nights partying the summer away. Always there when you need him you can always count on Mike being there unless he's had too many of his vodka mixers. Guaranteed you'll find Mike shaking on the ground during the song SHOUT.
Emily Hess

Dave's sister and Corrine's soon-to-be sister in law! Lives in beautiful San Diego, CA and is a hazy IPA connoisseur. Loves throwing parties, celebrating other people, and amazon prime.
Mike Hess
Groomsman
PHD. Science Nerd. Father. Brother-in-law. San Diego. Met David's sister at Northeastern in Boston and joined the Nelson/Hess/Dashner family in 2018. Mike and David can be found playing board games and drinking over priced craft beers and saying how awesome Matty Hess (Nephew/son) is. With a heart of gold you can find Mike hold the door open for someone at the bathroom or buying you a free drink at the bar, but don't get in his way when the boogey shoes come on.
Jess Dashner
Bridesmaid
Dave's sister and Corrine's soon-to-be sister in law! Lives in Boston, MA. Introduced me to truly delicious Italian food and lobster mac n' cheese. This girl loves the heat! There is no one more excited to come to Phoenix in the summer.
Justin Dashner
Groomsman
Lawyer. Boston. Father. Chef. Dave's brother-in-law. Fellow fantasy novel nerd. Justin married into the Nelson/Dashner/Hess family in 2013 after attending Boston University with Jess. To win over Justin just ask him how cool his almost 1-year old son Jayden is. Justin is always down to spend hours playing some video games, challenge David in a heated board game, or kick back and have a nice chat over some gross sour oak aged barreled craft beer. Catch him being dragged out onto the dance floor by Jess.
Ally Amandon
Bridesmaid
CJ's girlfriend. Go Badgers! Tied with Lauren Berger as the most fun accountant I know :) Can be found with a huge grin on her face (especially when she out drives her competition on the golf course).
CJ Fritcher
Groomsman
Engineer. Minneapolis. Golfer. Kid Wonder. Corrine's brother and Dave's soon to be brother-in-law. Towers over the competition on the dance floor. You can usually find CJ swinging 200 mph on the tee box and beating Dave by 30 strokes by hole 18. You'll find CJ using too much arms on the dance floor and seeing that big grin above all other heads out on the floor.
