Carley & Ethan
Wedding Party
Hannah Gordon
Maid of Honor
Sister of the bride, best friend, and bridesmaid ring leader. Hannah is known for bringing the party with her wherever she goes. Hannah lives in sunny South Florida and will deliver that warmth and light to the big day as she stands by Carley's side. Her hysterical personality and irresistible smile are sure to get the party started!
Aaron Babajoni
Best Man
Best man, AEPi brother, and former roommate. As a Chicago lawyer, there were no objections when asking Aaron to hold this title. Experiencing birthright, 1 v 1 basketball, and late night mac & cheese together, Aaron has always been by Ethan's side and will continue this tradition on the wedding day.
Erin Blumenthal
Bridesmaid
Future sister-in-law and the kindest human you’ll ever know. The only things sweeter are her amazing cupcakes! Erin is a baking queen and will no doubt open her own bakery one day (with gluten free/vegan options for the bride, obviously). Coming from Colorado, she is sure to bring sweetness and cheer to the wedding weekend.
Alex Rasky
Groomsman
As the Risk Manager to Ethan's Social Chair, Alex was never one to stop the party. Dancing his way into the wedding day, Alex brings an enthusiastic energy to the group. His moves aren't only on the dance floor as he and Ethan coached the AEPi Freshman flag football team together. This dynamic duo is bound to bring joy to the wedding weekend!
Abby Valtierra
Bridesmaid
Little did Abby know that her first week of college would bring a life-long friendship. Abby was greeted by the lovely bride in the dorm bathroom who was tearful and missing home. Abby, being the loyal friend she is (or stranger at the time), comforted Carley and their friendship bloomed. Abby is already equipped with the tissues for the wedding day!
Drew Teller
Groomsman
A founding member of the Mission Home trio and an active yogi, Drew brings a calming energy to the groomsmen crew. Drew and Ethan grew close after many days spent at Dolores Park and he even taught Ethan how to snowboard in Lake Tahoe. Now living in LA, Drew is pumped to reunite in Chicago for the big day!
Rosie O'Connor
Bridesmaid
Rosie knows how to make an entire room fill with joy. She always has fun plans whether it’s pranking Carley in college while her sister came to visit, exploring nature in Denver where she lives, or (of course) singing. If the wedding band needs a backup singer, Rosie is already practicing her vocal warmups.
Dev Iyer
Groomsman
Dev (pronounced Dave) is the third member of the Mission Home trio and life of the party. Dev and Ethan bonded over their love of travel and music, with Dev DJ-ing their adventure through Budapest. Coming all the way from San Francisco, Dev is "suh" excited to be part of Ethan's big day.
Jaime Dolphin
Bridesmaid
Some friends you choose and some your moms choose for you. Their moms met while pregnant and Carley & Jaime have been friends ever since. Jaime is the most caring bridesmaid. She has lived all over the states but just made Florida her home. Recently married herself, Jaime is the perfect bridesmaid to give Carley some tips and tricks for the big day!
John Weber
Groomsman
Having met in Kindergarten, John is one of Ethan's oldest friends. After visiting John at Wisconsin many times and bonding over late-night Cheba Hut runs, it's clear to see why these two have been friends for over 22 years. John can't wait for the big day and getting everyone to "jump around"!
Alex Tucker
Bridesmaid
Alex is one of Carley’s longest friends, meeting each other before they could even talk at playgroup. She is the Moe to Carley's Curly and the Simba to Carley's Nala. Alex knows how to bring people together and you can expect to find her as the first one on the dance floor and the last one to leave it!
Connor Bolan
Groomsman
Connor and Ethan met on the middle school playground, making up many games including fat tennis ball baseball (their favorite!). Trying to redeem himself after losing fantasy football (and facing a tomato-ing), Connor is looking forward to a winning wedding weekend.
