Matron of Honor
As my older sister, Jennie, was the lucky recipient of many "Welcome Home From College!!" banners. Now we're lucky enough to live just a few miles away so I don't have to put my Microsoft Word Art skills to use as often.
Bridesmaid
Kelly is my older sister and the first person I woke up on Christmas morning. I usually had to pry her eyes open to get her to go downstairs at 4 AM and see if Santa arrived. To this day she will sleep with one or both eyes open.
Bridesmaid
Abby and I spent many summers down the Jersey shore passionately singing along to Billy Joel’s We Didn’t Start the Fire or car-dancing to Kanye’s Stronger.
Bridesmaid
Amanda shared her french fries (and her friends) with me in elementary school-- that’s how I knew she was a real friend.
Bridesmaid
Brianna and I share a love for traveling. We biked from Vienna to Budapest, in the rain, for 5 straight days, and she still wanted to be my friend afterwards!
Best Man
Dan, or "El Danimal de las Montañas", as he's never been known, will be serving as the best man for the wedding. For all five of you reading this that don't know Dan, he's got a contagious laugh, is very nice to everyone, and I greatly enjoy doing stuff with him.
Groomsman
After watching his dreams of becoming a successful harpsichord player die at an early age, Kevin has rebounded beautifully into a easy-going, fun-lovin bro. He's my favorite person in the world to play strategy games with.
Groomsman
Despite being the youngest in age, Mike has consumed more potato chips than the rest of the brothers combined. Beyond his penchant for the salty tater, Mike is always willing to go on an adventure, play a game, or provide stiff competition in an impromptu battle of skill. I don't appreciate the fact that he always wears cooler clothes than me.
Groomsman
JP is like the brother I already have. No amount of societal pressure or life obstacles are going to stop him from doing what he loves: livin' near the beach in San Diego, being a business man, going to hot yoga, and *borrowing* produce from Whole Foods. We've been friends since childhood, and it's cool knowing we'll be friends for at least the next few months.
Groomsman
Johnny and I met when we were both wide-eyed young engineers at Chevron. I took our first conversation to weird places that made his eyes even more wide, but we powered through that to become close companions and travel the world together. My favorite aspect of Johnny is his willingness to experience and learn new things. His hobbies have become too numerous to count, and I always look forward to our next chat to hear what he's been working on.
