Best Man | Officiant
Hey everyone! My name is Jon Weigell and I'll be taking up best man and minster duties for the glorious union of Garrett and Emma. I met Garrett my freshman year of college and he's been one of my best friends ever since. I met Emma a few years later when Garrett couldn't stop gushing to me over how incredible she was. I couldn't be more honored to oversee the marriage of two people I've come to love and know so well over the years. That being said, if you're happy with my performance and would like to redirect your registry gift to me you, you can ask me any time for my address and shipping & handling fees in Brooklyn, NY.
Maid of Honor
Hello everyone, my name is Abby Raser and I'm thrilled to be the Maid of Honor at Emma and Garrett's wedding! Twenty-four years ago I stole the spotlight from Emma when I took over the role of baby of the family. I have been so lucky to have Emma as my big sister and friend. During her senior year I started hearing more about her "friend" Garrett and I family got to meet him at Emma's graduation. In that short visit I could tell how great Garrett was for Emma. Over their years together it is clear to see that these two are made for each other. I could not be more excited to stand next to my big sister and watch her marry the love of her life.
Groomsman
Hello everyone! I am Taylor and I am Garrett's groomsman for the big day. I met Garrett after we both made the questionable choice to sign up for an intensive advertising course at GW. Nothing screams enjoying senior year quite like spending seven hours a day putting together presentations and convincing other people to love the satisfying pop of a Snapple. Five years later and I haven't done any advertising since graduation! But I did stick with Garrett, and Jon (also part of the advertising group), and I'm so excited to be a part of this crew and celebrate the love and marriage of Garrett and Emma.
Bridesmaid
Hello! I'm Sarah, number 3 in a long line of Bryar cousins, trailing just behind Emma. I fondly remember growing up together and the countless hours spent inventing & playing elaborate games that spanned multiple backyards, parks and all floors of Cice's house. To this day, we maintain the sacred tradition of board games the day after Christmas. We still reunite a few times a year around the cousin's table to share stories. A few years ago I was thrilled to meet Garrett at the table, someone who embodied the same child-like spirit of playfulness & adventure that was so important to us growing up. From that first meal we shared, I knew these two were perfect for each other. I am so honored to help celebrate the love of Emma & Garrett and cannot wait for all of the fun and games to come!
Honorary Bridesmaid (stuck in Chile!)
I met Emma when we were a couple of teenagers during my exchange student experience in Chicago. During those amazing 6 months with the Raser family, I had the privilege of getting to know Emma, sharing the best memories with her and growing up with my American sister. The years went by, we grew some more, together & apart, and eventually Garrett came into the picture! I knew Emma had found the perfect partner: someone that made her laugh, that would go on any adventure with her and supported her no matter what - a true companion for life. I am grateful for having Emma in my life, for knowing that she is loved and for witnessing how much Emma & Garrett love & take care of each other. While I wish I could be there to celebrate in person, I can't wait to see these two as Husband & Wife next!
