Matron of Honor
Jessie and Lacy have been best friends since their freshman year at Lindale High School. Through debate tournaments, musical performances, donut- and 5 Hour Energy-fueled SAT road trips, graduation speeches, Disney trips, D&D campaigns, and many more shenanigans, their friendship has just grown stronger over the last twelve years.
Best Man
Mike and Andrew met as RAs in Griesedieck Hall at St. Louis University. They became fast friends on the basketball court and playing ping-pong together as the duo known to other RAs as "Texas Heat". Their friendship, forged in the fires of that freshman dorm, has remained to this day.
Bridesmaid
Lacy and Marianne have been long distance friends since the summer of 2015, when they met online on Tumblr (NOT Tinder). Lacy's first flight alone was to visit Marianne (a person who she'd never met in real life) in Georgia. By some miracle, Marianne was a real person, Lacy did not get kidnapped, and they've been best friends ever since. Two or three times a year, which is never enough, Lacy and Marianne fly back and forth to visit each other.
Groomsman
Andrew hasn't known a moment of his life without Joe as his brother, his friend, and his constant annoyance. Whether it's his reluctance to play a lick of defense on the basketball court or his stalwart belief in the Dallas Cowboys, Joe has kept the faith in many lost causes, most of all his brother's chances at finding someone who could deal with his idiocy.
Bridesmaid
Kat and Lacy met through Marianne. Lacy and Kat regularly bond over a love of horses, matching septum piercings, and trying to convince Marianne to download TikTok. A resident of the state of Wisconsin, Kat provides all of us with design advice, the coolest dice sets, and incredible art of our hot D&D characters.
Groomsman
Zane and Andrew first met at Bridgeport's "Impact Camp" with their respective youth groups. Since those early days at church camp, they've built a friendship as kindred spirits when it comes to politics, DnD adventures, and long lunches at Cici's buffet.
Bridesmaid
Clara and Lacy met working in the trenches of postpartum at North Austin Medical Center at Lacy's first nursing job. After a subtle Mass Effect reference one day at work, the two realized they had an incredible amount in common and became close friends.
Groomsman
Alec was one of the first friends that Lacy introduced to Andrew, early in their courtship. It wasn't long before they both had started swapping ideas for DnD campaigns and strategies for living with nurses. Ever since they have bonded over telling stories and crafting for the next DnD set piece.
Bridesmaid
Chandler Grace is a fellow member of Union, coordinator of wine nights, and lover of karaoke. CG has provided many a piece of advice for wedding planning for the future Bennetts, and was instrumental in helping coordinate the proposal at Union!
Attendant
Almost 4 years ago now, Caleb and Andrew had the idea to start playing Dungeons & Dragons together. If not for that first step, this wedding party may never have formed. Along with Katie, Zane, and the most recent addition, Lacy, they've gone on numerous adventures together, with many more adventures to come.
