Bride
Groom
Maid of Honor
The bride's best friend from high school. From playing field hockey together, running the whole high school while a part of Student Council Board, and both happening to transplant to the same city (Chicago!) Mary Elizabeth has been there for the many chapters of Emily's life.
Best Man
John is essentailly an international man of mystery. Always cool under pressure and willing to talk life, love and business over a fine cigar. He's had a huge impact on Geoff’s life and is a great friend and mentor to him. He can't think of anyone else to stand next to him on such a life changing day.
Bridesmaid
Kelsie and Emily met in college when they lived on the same floor their freshman year at Saint Louis University. They both had a passion for their professions- Kelsie, a nurse practitioner, and Emily, a Physical Therapist, but never took life too seriously. Kelsie’s motto that Emily always loved is “work hard, play hard” and boy do they know how to have a good time!
Groomsman
Andy is the bride's brother and the most passionate Bengals fan we will likely ever know. He's always smiling and full of adventure just like his big sis. He is getting too close for comfort on the golf course these days but hopefully Geoff can hold him off for a few more years. Geoff says he couldn't ask for a better brother-in-law to be.
Bridesmaid
Marie and Emily also attended SLU together and studied Physical Therapy. They lived together during the grad school years and now Emily gets to see Marie whenever she goes back home to Cincinnati as that is where Marie now resides! Marie is always up for an adventure, a good cup of coffee, or a nice glass of wine (she even completed a year as a Traveling Physical Therapist!). Needless to say, she and Emily have a lot in common.
Groomsman
Kyle brings a tremendous shortgame to the group and is likely the most well read. He was the final piece to our foursome and really solidified his place as a trusted, reliable and overall class act. He does live in the Chicago loop but still remains humble enough to share his weekends with Geoff and boys.
Bridesmaid
Jenny and Emily met at Saint Louis University where they studied Physical Therapy and were sorority sisters. They were also roommates while studying abroad in Rome! Jenny has always been wise beyond her years and can frequently be found to lend a helping hand or an ear. Jenny’s beautiful daughters, MacKenzie and Charlotte, will be the flower girls at the wedding ceremony.
Groomsman
Colin has been a great friend since he and Geoff met shortly after Geoff moved back to Chicago. Together they are generally the loudest talkers in any establishment which can draw looks but they don't care. Colin and Geoff were the original golf duo and have hacked it up at virtaully every course in the Chicagoland area. Most of them they are still welcome at.
Bridesmaid
Jaclyn and Emily both attended SLU where they studied Physical Therapy together! They were both in the same sorority (she was actually Emily's "big sister") and lived many of their grad school years together. Back in the day, Jaclyn and Emily would be found at the library studying late into the early morning hours. Now they enjoy regular coffee, lunch, and brunch dates to catch up on each other’s lives.
Groomsman
Jason was the 3rd addition to Geoff’s golf group and arguably the key stone member. His addition meant that Colin and Geoff would no longer be paired with randos on the course. If it wasn't for him walking the streets of Lincoln Park one summer day in that stupid Mets hat of his it may never have happened. He can also be counted on to hit bombs and pull off the impossible shot.
Welcoming Attendant
Amy is Geoff’s older sister who always has a smile and a hug for you. Amy is very welcoming which is why we knew she’d be the perfect person to welcome all our guests at the wedding ceremony. Make sure you pick up your program from her before you find your seat at the church!
