Wedding Party

Sara Putnam

Maid of Honor

Most likely to: accidentally get cast as the lead role in Alice in Wonderland when trying out for Tweedle Dum Sara is Gabi's baby sister, confidant, and the best present her parents have ever given her. Throughout their sisterhood, Sara has worn many different hats. A). Road Trip Companion: AKA laughing hysterically while Gabi makes a series of wrong turns in literally any given city/town/municipality. B). Aunt/Positive Role Model/Scholar: She has colored Jacksons’s vocabulary immensely using the literary tool known as “Tik Tok”. C). Personal Stylist: Ask Sara about her bright blue DIY acrylic nails, and trendy style, which is compromised mostly of clothing pieces from Gabi’s closet ( note: she always looks better in them anyways!) E). The best friend you could ever ask for!!

Becca McKiernen

Best Girl

Known by the following pseudonyms: Reba, Aunt Ruby, Ron, Snakecharmer, Beckiernen. Becca is Gabi's high school best friend and the Ron to her Harry :) . She once self-proclaimed herself as the prom queen by stealing the crown, as well as a box of chocolates and, I believe, a large stop sign. She recently finished her last year of teaching in the Teach For America program, and is now Georgetown bound as she pursues a Masters in Security Studies; AKA CERTIFIED BADASS. Looking to break the ice with her at the reception? Ask her about that one time she smuggled booze into Patch High School using Sadaam Hussein's satchel.

Hailey Hester

Bridesmaid

Hailey, otherwise known as "HH" or "Hot Girl Hailz", is an honarary member of the Putnam family and Gabi's personal health and wellness coach. She is one of the most passionate souls you will ever meet (see: will drive four hours on a moment's notice in order to surprise Gabi at an important life event). You will likely see Hailey on a future season of The Bachelor, and will most definitely come to know her for her big heart, as well as her rockin booty ("BOOTY GOALS"- Gabi, 2016).

Jill Hagen

Bridesmaid

Gabi’s business partner in the multi million dollar entrepreneurial pursuit known as “Coke and Jewelry”, circa 2006. Jill is a Registered Nurse, and a professional gazelle (hello runner's bod!!). Jill and Gabi were inseperable between the ages of seven and twelve. They were so close, in fact, that they convinced themselves that they were "Brittany" and "Whitney", the long lost Bohemian sisters of Hillary Duff. WE'RE NOT LYING, JACK! IT'S TRUE!

Brianna Dyess

Bridesmaid

Street name: "Blee" Most likely to ask: "Have you seen my chapstick"? Bri is the longtime girlfriend of Josh's brother Mitch, A dental hygienist with perfect teeth to prove it, and the likely originator of all of Jackson's best ideas. See Also: Beckett's proud God Mamma :)

Sarah Alvarado

Bridesmaid

Sarah "Avocado" is girlfriend to Gabi's brother, Jack and Gabi's former highschool cheer mate. GO PATCH, ROCK IT BABY. When she's not petting a cat, she can also be found at THE Waffle House, or enjoying sober conversation at family functions.

Tarason Moore

Bridesmaid

Most likely to: feign stupidity during a kindergarten interview to honor a childhood pact...True loyalty, people. Tarason and Gabi have been soul sistas since they were three years old. As an adult, Tarason is a world traveller, future Occupational Therapist, and lover of cheese! You will also be relieved to know that she most definitely knows how to spell her name now (Thanks, Sister Immaculata!).

Brad Chapman

Best Man

Tetris Master, engineer, Star Wars nerd, married to a Disney princess

James Lang

Groomsman

Lang brother #2; can grow a better mustache than Tom Selleck, he can also single handedly take down Thanos! Side note: this younger brother purchased me beer in high school
