Laura Huber
Matron of Honor
Laura is my younger sister and best friend. She lives in Greenville, North Carolina with her husband Justin and son Charlie. While she is a severe asthmatic that we make fun of all the time we do nothing but laugh together. Despite living 5 hours apart we see each other as often as we can and talk daily.

Tina Peimer
Bridesmaid
Tina has been one of my best friends forever. As kids we would talk about going to college together, working together and being in each others weddings. We both graduated Towson, have worked together for 7 years, I was in Tina's wedding and now Tina will be in mine. We have a one of a kind friendship. We are undefeated in just about every team event /game we play specifically Spoons and BS.
Adam Mays
Groomsman
Multifaceted. Multi-talented. Would choose twisted tea over a fine wine. Adam is definitely the best backyard sports player I’ve ever met. Ever. A few other important pieces of Adam information: -He is a new father -Tracie, his wife, is his better half -He has two sheds -He has an on-call free handyman -He could fit a dead body in his trunk...ask his wife how their first date conversation went.
Jenn Call
Bridesmaid
Jenn is my sister in law, she is married to Chris and has a 21 year old daughter Bobbie. While Jenn lives in Wichita, KS, we still talk all the time and visit as often as we can. Jenn is an expert at obtaining the perfect tan, while she often offers me advice I still manage to get burnt or get tan lines and peel. She is just the person you wanna get pulled over for "hypothetically" driving a little too fast in the brutal state of Virginia. So while you "hypothetically" are talking to the officer(s) she will happily mind her own business, stay quiet and organize your glove box. I will forever owe her for her loyalty in that hypothetical situation.
Michael Abraham
Groomsman
Michael is definitely an overachiever. His LinkedIn page lists his ability to read minds...but for some reason he always asks me if I’d like ice in my Scotch. Michael is only upstaged by his amazing wife Nicole and incredible children Charlotte and Joseph. Seriously, he has more hobbies than I can list, but here are a few: -Triathlons -Marathons -Whiskey consumption -Beer making and drinking -Saving lives -"Giving Lectures" AKA traveling -Turnover Chain recipient
Charlotte
Flower Girl
Charlotte is our five year old flower girl. She is cute as a button and lights up any room. She recently learned how to ski with us in Breckenridge, CO and we have notified the US Ski Team she will be joining them in a few years. She comes to our bridal party an experienced flower girl and we are lucky we could book her for our event.
Charlie
Ring Bearer
Charlie is my adorable nephew and best little bud. We love to scream together and spit water out of straws :) His favorite song is Baby Shark. Be prepared for a high five, he’s a professional at that game. Also, a fun fact: he willingly let his mother butcher, I mean cut his hair.
