Matron of Honor
The Bride's sister- and therefore her best friend. We'll just ignore the puberty years on both sides and pretend like everything has always been as great as it is now!
Best Man
As the older and wiser brother of the groom, he's been there for it all. There's no one else Ben would want standing next to him on the big day.
Bridesmaid
Becky and Mere reluctantly shared a stand during band camp in 2011 and hated each other. Ever since a fateful trip to Kings Dominion in October of that same year, they've been inseparable.
Groomsman
From living together to running a frat together, Ben and Tanner have been through a lot. Luckily, through the hours of shared complaining about band and frat business, they both gained valuable listening skills that their fiancées definitely appreciate!
Bridesmaid
Mere and Maggie lived across the hall from each other in the dorms their freshman year. They joined a sorority together, and even survived living together for multiple years- that's how you know it's real.
Groomsman
Dan's introduced Ben and Mere to all of their favorite places in Richmond, and he's one of their best friends. There's no one else they'd trust their cats with.
Bridesmaid
Puzzles and a shared love of cats- what else do you need to start a lifelong friendship with a future sister? Ben and Mere will always cheer for UVA when it's for her.
Groomsman
Even though he's Meredith's Brother-In-Law, Raife and Ben have had a much closer relationship (bordering on bromance) since the first time they met.
Honorary Bridescat
Unfortunately, Mikey will not be at the wedding. He'll be there in spirit and in the hair that will miraculously yet inevitably find its on everyone's clothing.
Honorary Groomscat
Ray will also only be at the wedding in spirit, but that's for the best. She is the literal definition of a scaredy-cat! Also, yes, she is a girl.
