Wedding Party
Kral Metz
Best Man
Karla did the sound for the acclaimed stage production Peppermint Mocha, he is also my best friend and the guy who introduced me to the guy who introduced me to Meghan. This man's favorite thing is musical theater and not getting roasted and we're still friends, best man material for sure.
Nicole Vandewettering
Maid of Honor
Nicole and Meghan have never once gotten into a fight, rational or otherwise. Dozens of countries travelled without one instance of the other intentionally trying to hurt the others feelings. Even when they were roommates in college! Nope not one discussion about how often a boyfriend from out of town could come visit, high quality sister right here.
Tristan Robertson
Groomsman
Tristan and I grew up sharing a bedroom until my freshmen year of high school. some might think this created a brotherly bond between us but he's only here because Meghan likes his wife and he gave me tickets to the Oregon vs. Oregon State game recently.
Bridgette Coleman
Bridesmaid
Bridgette is great. Super friendly, got a horky little dog that's shaped like a cannonball and makes some excellent challah bread and other baked goods. You have to drive all the way to St John's to see her though and that's just a big ask.
Alex Robertson
Groomsman
It's my oldest brother, historically he has always been very rude to me. Slightly less so in the last few years but he is still not fun to be around, explains why he went into law.
Allison Zumwault
Bridesmaid
Allison and Meghan have known each other since middle school. She is a first responder paramedic which is mostly admirable because other than saving lives she is a general nuisance.
Emily Albertson
Groomswoman
omg this site actually has a selection for groomswoman, I thought I would have to make a dumb joke about that. Emily is the old roommate (besides Kral) and she is very cool. I almost selected her boyfriend but I couldn't have had another guy in the party who is both taller than me and has a big beard, also Derek is kind of a jerk where Emily is actually happy to participate in these formalities! Yay Emily!
Meredith Yung
Bridesmaid
Our good friend Meredith Yung. One of Meghan's closest friends from both her childhood baptism and OSU days, and a person Erik might have a hard time filling out a whole paragraph about. You're the best Meredith, don't ever change!
Zach Kaylor
Groomsman
Really excited to have Zach up there with us on our big day. We met partway through college and I honestly wouldn't have guessed we would stay close all the way to now. I'm pretty sure he'll have a dope wedding in the future so this is really just a hedge to make sure we get an invite to whenever that happens.
Taylor Bundy
Bridesmaid
An old study friend from the Biochem/Biophys study group. From undergrad to visiting in Madrid to working at OHSU and living nearby Taylor has stayed close with Meghan and Erik throughout the years, even when she lived in Albany, Oregon. Gross.
Ethan Jacot
Groomsman
Complete description before wedding invites are sent.
Nathan Urbach
Bridesman
Nathan introduced us! Meghan and Erik had several discussions about what side Nathan would be on but eventually we went with bridesman because he's technically known Meghan longer, even though Erik is his favorite.
Natasha Warikoo
Officiant
Natasha, AKA Natrasha, Aunty Tash, Tiger Tash etc. etc. is the one and only officiant. She is so down to earth and we figured if someone can be in the Md-PhD program than why can't they take on a little more responsibility and write and deliver a ceremony just for us? Fun fact, before Natasha knew she was the officiant she tried to invite herself to the wedding, very classy stuff.
