Maid of Honor
Maya and Amanda met shortly after Maya returned to Seattle. It's a long story, but at first, they both doubted each other's existence. They have been cooking, gardening, and, most importantly, eating together for years!
Best Man
First brother I ever had, Lansing, Michigan. He can say the same for me. As big brother he left big shoes to fill and I didn't stray too far from those footsteps, I just did things a little better like beating his school records. Currently resides in Chesterfield, NJ.
Bridesmaid
Carly and Maya met in Australia when they were 18. Carly and her family (Jason, Hudson, Harlow Rose, and Gigi) have traveled from Australia to be with Maya and Derrick for this extraordinary occasion.
Groomsman
First 'roommate' when I moved to Chicago, IL --- but things go back earlier than that. Fellow 808er in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Forever 'can I get a bite'-er. Not a more genuine person on the planet. Currently resides in Chicago, IL. Love when he gets to travel to Seattle for work and spend a few hours with us.
Bridesmaid
One day Maya snuck into Jana's apartment building (with Miss Kelly!) for a picnic, and they enjoyed burnt ends and rosé. The rest is history.
Groomsman
First friend I made on 4th Frost, Ann Arbor, Michigan. First bond over taking over house parties with our music and starting the dance floor. Close second, Michigan football. Current resident of Chicago, IL. Deeply dedicated to his interests, makes this man a fountain of knowledge across vast array of topics. Never a dull moment.
Bridesmaid
Early mornings and delightful afternoons in the garden have made these two fast friends!
Groomsman
First friend in DeWitt, Michigan. Longest running friendship. From handshakes to jet-ski racing, always on the same wavelength.
Bridesmaid
We are kindred spirits.
Groomsman
First friend in Seattle, WA that understood the pain of being a Lions fan. Instantly bonded over Detroit, UofM and MSU sports. Had our fair share of Lions game disasters. But more fun than that are our dinner parties and travel. Currently resides in West Seattle, WA.
Officiant
Derrick's first roommate in Detroit, Michigan, fellow 4th Froster and 808er at UofM. Frank has done things I never would have done, like playing bass in several bands, playing goalie for several hockey teams, and started his own company. Current resident of South Lake Tahoe, CA. Mountain biking has been an excuse for us to get together annually.
