Britnee & Drew
Wedding Party
Sylvia McLain
Matron of Honor/House-elf
Britnee’s cousin Sylvia holds the distinction of having listened to more of her rants/raves/endless questions/ridiculous concerns than anyone else. Shockingly, she still returns Britnee’s texts and is always hilarious, ceaselessly helpful, and eternally in her corner. Despite talking daily, the two have never admitted to liking one another.
Griffin Kay
Best Man
Drew met Griffin at a house party in Charleston, IL in the Spring of 2004. Bands were playing in the basement and people were hanging from the ceiling. The pipes burst and dirty water flowed everywhere. This only made Griffin more enthusiastic. Drew thought, “Griffin Kay is my new favorite person.”
Thea McLain
Matron of Honor
In addition to being friends and cousins, Thea and Britnee have been roommates, coworkers, and co-conspirators. Thankfully they’re both good at keeping each other’s secrets/actually forgetting them. Thea has always been such a great source of support for Britnee, and Britnee has repaid her kindness, generosity and grace by forcing her into the Matron of Honor role.
Alex Mossman
Groomsman
Alex is Drew’s younger brother. His demeanor is as placid and crystal clear as a pristine lake. He has never once thrown a golf club. He will not beat the hell out Drew even though Drew deserves it. Alex is a father, husband, engineer, and good friend.
Brittany Woods
Bridesmaid
Brittany is 100% responsible for every full time job Britnee has ever had; making sure Britnee survives has been Brittany’s hobby for the last decade. Brittany is endlessly entertaining and the type of fantastic friend everyone should long to be. The two met while working in Clayton, and while the start of their relationship might have had some Stockholm Syndrome attributes, they have remained great friends ever since. Brittany Britnee Brittney.
Jeremy Jeffreys
Groomsman
Drew’s brother Jeremy is very fancy. He loves shooting guns and driving trucks. He’s very funny and is an excellent husband and father. He would like for you to hand him a Bud.
Kalin Haiduc
Bridesmaid
Kalin and Britnee have been friends since before they remember. Kalin is compassionate, loyal, and hilarious, and it doesn't hurt that she's given Britnee her only (and beautiful) godson. As children they were often terrible influences on each other, but luckily, as they grew up, the opposite became true.
Joe Winters
Groomsman
Joseph Winters is a Canadian Jewish Drummer. He taught Drew how to chop wood, how to walk in snowshoes, and how to run away from bears. He is a kind and lovely man with an outstanding wife and two twin boys.
Samantha Hall
Bridesmaid
Britnee has never been sure what she has done to earn a friend like Sam, but it was almost certainly some sort of mix up because Sam is a better friend than most anyone deserves. Considerate, thoughtful, and incredibly fun, Britnee and Sam have been friends since 2006 and Britnee has been better off every day since.
Nathan Bernaix
Groomsman
Drew met Nathan when he answered an STL Punk ad for a guitar player who could sing backing vocals. Drew could barely play guitar and could not sing backing vocals. Thankfully, Nathan became his gracious, patient friend anyway. He is an excellent teacher (and even better father) in St. Charles, MO.
Stacey Unruh
Bridesmaid
Picture it: Kansas. 2006. A fiery redhead meets a beautiful brunette and they immediately hit it off. To them, it was the beginning of the greatest duo since Lucy and Ethel. To everyone else, it was a recipe for mayhem. Both were correct. Drew is the love of Britnee’s life but Stacey is her better half. Their friendship would be impossible to put in words, and you probably shouldn't ask them to try, because it would quickly devolve to them laughing hysterically at themselves and bringing up every inside joke they've ever written down.
Patrick Attwater
Officiant
No officiant has ever been more excited or over-prepared than Patrick. Patrick and Britnee met shortly before their sophomore year of college. In 2006, Britnee was far from sold on the idea of marriage but knew if she did get married, Patrick would perform the ceremony. Brilliant, passionate and charismatic, Patrick could be the next Oprah, but to Britnee he'll always be the guy who locked them out of his apartment 5 minutes after moving him in.
