Wedding Party

Laura and I have been friends since our time in Boston. She was the first person I told about Duncan after our first date. Laura's husband, Ryan, will be officiating the wedding. Laura and Ryan live in Chicago, Illinois with their two beautiful children Calvin and Robin.
Chris Newton

Duncan met Chris in the 80s on a parade float. Years later, in the 90s, Duncan moved schools and ended up in the same math class as Chris. They quickly became friends, were in a heavy metal band together in high school, both went to the University of Colorado, have travelled the country together seeing their favorite band, and many other adventures. Chris lives in San Diego with his wife Luz, his son William, and his daughter Arrabella.

Kevin Eichhorn
Groomsman
Duncan and Kevin met in high school and have been friends since the early 90s. After college, Kevin and Duncan were roommates in the Wicker Park neighborhood of Chicago in the early 2000s. Their friendship continues to grow and they still have amazing times to this day going out to see live music, DJs they both like, and getting friends together to watch football. Kevin is a proud father of his daughter Chloe and his son KJ.
Lindsey Tepe
Bridesmaid
Lindsey and I were in the same Teacher for America Corp (Chicago 09). We instantly bonded and spent many Friday and Saturday nights at The Dark Horse in Wrigleyville. Lindsey lives in Virginia and works for New America in Washington D.C.
Greg Townley
Groomsman
Duncan and Greg met on their first day of grad school at the University of South Carolina. They immediately connected over shared interests in music - the Miles Davis album “Tribute to Jack Johnson”. They both share a similar sense of humor, share a love for hazy pale ales, and have an insane amount of inside jokes. Together, Greg, Duncan, and David Asiamah (see below) are the Three Amigos. Greg lives in Portland with his wife Rachel and his cat Lilly where he is a community psychology professor.
Elizabeth Brostoff
Bridesmaid
Elizabeth (Liz) is Duncan's sister. I am so excited to officially be Liz's sister. Liz lives in Highland Park, Illinois with her wonderful sons David (18) and Matthew (15).
David Asiamah
Groomsman
Duncan met David on their first day of grad school at the University of South Carolina. They immediately connected over shared interests in music - at the time it was Mos Def as well as Dead Prez. He even got Duncan to love football (soccer) as he spent a lot of the 2006 World Cup on Duncan’s couch cheering for Ghana. Duncan and David share a love for quality beer and an insane amount of inside jokes that it got to a point where they couldn’t sit next to each other in class or else they’d make each other laugh too much. Together, David, Duncan, and Greg Townley (see above) are the Three Amigos. David lives in New Jersey with his partner, Shannon, and their two children.

Alejandro Florez
Groomsman
Alejandro and Duncan met while they were both students at the University of South Carolina. They were both DJing a party when they met, and they eventually became very close friends. They often DJed together at Alejandro’s weekly party at a local venue, and have a love for the same kind of music. They often travelled to Charlotte, NC and Atlanta, GA to see DJs and live music they both liked, having tons of fun along the way. Alejandro lives with his wife Meredith in Columbia, SC.
Bruce Carter

Bruce and I have been friends since infancy. Bruce is the male version of myself; just as crazy and just as good-looking. Bruce lives in North Carolina with his beautiful wife Alyssa and their two children Vallory and Killian.
Donald Cross
Groomsman
Duncan’s first time meeting Donna’s family was during Christmas 2015, and that’s when he met Donald. They immediately hit it off and have been friends ever since. Donald is like the brother that Duncan never had.
