Best Man
The man, the myth, the legend. 1 of 3 Canadiens in the party, Taylor is Corbett's "brother" from the wintery north. As a hockey teammate, grad school colleague, and road trip copilot, Taylor (and his wife Kara), have been there for Corbett as he found his legs in Philadelphia. If it weren't for their support and friendship, Corbett would not have lived in Philadelphia at the time he met Liz.
Maid of Honor
Rachael is Liz’s charismatic, witty little sister and is the polar opposite of Liz. Being the youngest sibling meant she and Liz did not always meet eye to eye, like the time Liz purposely gave Rachael a bad makeover. As the two sisters grew up and got a little more mature, they started to realize they actually enjoyed each other’s company (much to Liz’s mom’s delight). Now the two enjoy crafting together while drinking cocktails and watching trashy TV.
Groomsman
Being the two youngest, Nathan and Jason were always at each other’s throats. Though Nathan was always at the ready to go to battle against Jason, he was also always at the ready to go to battle FOR Jason. While at summer camp, Nathan valiantly stood up to a bully in defense of Jason, ensuring he would spend the rest of his camp experience in camp jail (the Crow Cabin).
Bridesmaid
Gina is Liz’s oldest friend – they’ve known each other since they were in kindergarten. The friendship was initially rocky due to Liz (un)intentionally smashing Gina’s markers while coloring. As time went on, and fewer markers were destroyed, Gina and liz became "sisters". The two have grown up together and shared countless memories. Some of Liz’s favorites include getting drunk on the 4th of July by the pool, trips to visit Gina’s sister on Mackinac Island, and Gina helping Liz move out to Philly (she had to hold Liz’s heavily sedated cat the entire trip)!
Groomsman
Jason always looked up to Jared. He has always had an unshakable sense of morality and independence that Jason admired. His work ethic, creativity, and sense of adventure were goals that Jason grew up aspiring to. Having said that, he was a master antagonizer and knew exactly how to get under Jason's skin.
Bridesmaid
Kendra is one of Liz’s “ride or die” friends from vet school. The two have spent countless late nights studying and eating pizza (with ranch of course). When they weren’t studying, Liz and Kendra would spend time with their vet school friends, or take impromptu weekend trips to Grand Rapids, MI. Kendra and Liz spent their first clinical rotation together in Belize and Guatemala rescuing birds and monkeys, making questionable trips across the border, and speaking terrible Spanish. Their friendship was cemented when Kendra threw herself in front of a closing security door, sacrificing her body (and potential freedom) to try to help Liz and their others catch their plane home.
Groomsman
Brent and Corbett met in the summer of 2005 while attending college orientation at UNI. Brent, visiting alone, aided Corbett with his student housing form. Little did they know, they would end up living a few doors away in the same dorm. After striking up a friendship, Corbett and Brent became roommates for the next 3.5 years. Many late nights gaming, college pranks, and no-BS arguments have forged Corbett and Brent into life long "brothers".
Bridesmaid
Liz met Jordan during her surgery internship in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. Misery loves company, and the two befriended each other quickly in order to survive their internship. Jordan, Liz and Corbett spent their limited free time hiking, drinking at local breweries, and hanging out with their internmates. Despite her tiny stature, Jordan’s wit, sarcasm, and sense of humor stands eye to eye with Corbett.
Groomsman
The oldest of 3 Brothers, Brandon often took Jason under his wing. Though Jason was much younger, smaller, and weaker than the other three, Brandon often teamed up with Jason when competing in brotherly rivalries against the formidable duo of Jared and Nathan. Ever the protector, Brandon always did the best he could to set a positive example for Jason, making sure he stayed on the right path.
Bridesmaid
Sarah was one of the first friends Liz made after starting her residency at the University of Tennessee. The two quickly bonded over their love for crafting as well as Indian food, beer, and wine. Sarah is not only one of the kindest, smartest and most patient individuals Liz has ever met, she also tolerates Corbett’s dad jokes with ease. Even though the two live in different states post-residency, Liz is still trying to convince Sarah to move to the PNW.
Groomsman
The second of three Canadians, Cohen (and his wife, Katee) came into Corbett and Liz's lives with perfect timing just before the pandemic. Cohen and Corbett bonded over hockey, fishing, and video games while their significant others were joined at the hip working to fix animals at the University of Tennessee.
Bridesmaid
The third of three Canadians, Liz and Katee met during Liz’s surgery residency at the University of Tennessee. The two became fast friends (as did Corbett and Katee’s husband, Cohen) and were soon referred to as the “twins” by the surgery department and “work wives” by each other. Liz loves Katee so much, that she even agreed to attend not one, but two country concerts with her! Katee has been a constant support system for Liz throughout her residency, and early into her career.
Officiant
An amazing mentor, colleague, and friend to Corbett. A brilliant artist and academic, Jeff's support had an significantly important impact on Corbett in the years following the passing of Corbett's Father.

Flower Girl
Ridley and Reid belong to Liz’s cousins Hunter and Lindsey. Ridley is the oldest child and loves being a big sister to Reid. Ridley was also the first baby ever to not cry when Liz held her! These two cuties are cousins with our other flower girl, Alli.
