Maid of Honor
Eileen's youngest sister, Julia, is somewhere between 24-27 years old (Eileen is never quite sure). Eileen babysat Julia sometimes when they were kids, and while Eileen was not a very good babysitter, Julia turned out alright. Julia and Eileen went on a Californian adventure trip to San Francisco, Yosemite, and San Jose. While in San Francisco, Julia bought a bear made of sourdough bread, and Eileen and Julia took many pictures of Beary enjoying the views of California. For the record, Beary is still alive and well to this day.
Maid of Honor
Hannah is Sam's middle sister, who was known back in the day for biting ankles instead of talking (Christy took care of the talking part for her). Luckily, Hannah grew out of this, and eventually shared a bright teal room with lime green and lavender accents with Sam. Sam takes full responsibility for this monstrosity of a bedroom.
Maid of Honor
Christy is Sam's oldest sister who used to melt her ice cream in the microwave before eating it. When they were younger, Sam would sit next to Christy while she was doing her make up, picking out her clothes, and messaging her friends on AOL. And yes, Sam did read all of those cool high schooler messages, and no, Sam never ratted Christy out.
Bridesmaid
Katie is Eileen's older sister. She showed Eileen all the academics and study skills needed to be successful in college...as well as all the good bars on Green Street in Champaign and 95th Street at home. When Katie and Eileen were toddlers, they often had sleepovers at their Aunt Rita and Uncle Carl's house. During bath time, Eileen would regularly poop in the tub (Eileen has no memory of this) and Katie would get very upset, and always announce, "EILEEN POOPED IN THE TUB AGAIN!" and Katie would patiently wait for the tub to be cleaned.
Bridesmaid
Mary is Eileen's younger sister, and Eileen's best source for gross medical questions...which are asked usually on a weekly basis. Mary played the French horn and Eileen played the bass clarinet in the high school band, so they sat near each other in band practice every day, which gave them ample opportunity to miss notes and also talk way too much. Needless to say, neither of them are award winning musicians.
Bridesman
Wolf is Sam's little brother whose title of "little brother" does anything but describe this 6'5" 17 year old. During the pandemic, Wolf and Sam hung out every Saturday night, watching Hell's Kitchen, doing facials, and eating noodles at 2 in the morning. A dynamic young man, Wolf is also a second degree black belt - so while Sam and Eileen are being married in the mean streets of River North, rest assured, we will all be sufficiently protected.
Officiant
Clint and Sam met while giving tours of the University of Michigan to minors, and worked in the office together where Sam repeatedly shed her hair all over Clint's belongings. When Clint graduated, he spent the summer sleeping on Sam's couch, where he almost burned the apartment down by placing a plastic bottle of vodka on the stove top.
Officiant
Maggie and Eileen met while working at FLASH (Fun and Leisure After School Hours) at the Oak Lawn Park District. After working their first shift together, Eileen declared, "I think I might like you" and a friendship was born. Maggie and Eileen have traveled together, eaten too much Thai food together, and have enjoyed many a drink at Mariano's. Just give Maggie a seltzer and you're in for a fun night.
Dove Handler
Husband of Clint, Mother of Nature
