Megan Tench

Maid of Honor

Megan is my other half. We met in 2013 when I joined Phi Rho during my freshman year at UCLA. I knew instantly that I wanted her to be my big sister, and was over the moon when I got my wish. I can't wait to continue to be inseparable for the rest of our lives! (photo: Phi Sigma Rho initiation, November 2013)


Jared Lamar

Best Man

He doesn't remember it, but when we first met, Jared said we were going to be great friends. It might have been because he was recruitment chair, but I didn't care. Also, he was right. I'll always remember our daily racquetball games when we were freshman and living in a frat-house together as seniors. I love Jared because he values his integrity above all. He values his principles above everyone else's. If someone wants him to do something, and he doesn't want to do it, then he won't do it. I strive to act the way Jared does.

Lukas Hart

Man of Honor

A few months after Lukas was born when he started messing with my stuff I tearfully told my mom that having a brother was not what I expected. Fortunately, we figured it out and I gained a life long best friend. From Santa Barbara, to Flagstaff, to Hawaii, to Mariposa, I always had Lil Bub. Please don't pull too many pranks on me (photo: Lukas' high school graduation, 2016)


Sam and Josie Meade

Groomspeople

Sam's strategy for getting ice cream after dinner was to get Clare to mention that we had some, and then to act disappointed when he was told that he couldn't have any. Josie simply told us to look away while she dragged a chair across the room to reach the freezer. Ultimately I never told them that the best strategy was just to wait until our parents were asleep.

Alison Spence

Bridesmaid

I don't remember meeting Ali in preschool...I just remember being friends with her my whole life. She even played my best friend on stage in the 2007 Nutcracker. Every summer she came with my family to Berkeley Tuolumne Family Camp and has been an honorary member of the Hart family since 1999. (Photo Berkeley Tuolumne Family Camp, 2010)


Tori LaMar

Best Woman

Tori is the best. We first met in Courtside, and I could not be happier that she made her home in both C108 and my heart. 10% my soul mate, always my go to for a good gossip and reminisce about the old days, one half of our best couple friends ever, and absolute MVP of our 2021 wedding weekend.

Anna Laird

Bridesmaid

Anna and I met in 2008 when I moved to Mariposa. As the only 8th graders in geometry we had to be friends....but wow did I luck out. Whether it was leading a feminist rebellion or trying to one-up one another as Spanish and French club presidents, Anna was the best thing about high school. We've shared our sweet 16, high school graduation party, and now I'm so excited to share this special day with you (picture: prom 2013)


Max Nath

Groomsman

By the time I met Max, I was finally cool enough to hang out with someone like him. I like to think that we would have been friends in high school, but who knows. After we graduated from UCLA, all of our friends ended up in Israel, and I really appreciate having one left in the same time zone. We got closer once we decided to join a family together by becoming druncles to our beautiful niece, Shoshana Widawer.

Jefferson

Ring Bearer

He will do his best


Washington

Flower Girl

might try to eat the flowers but will look cute doing it

Dr. Lauri Meade

Officiant

We're so honored to have Dan's aunt Lauri officiate our wedding! There is no one more perfect than Laurie to guide us as we begin our marriage
