Matron of Honor
Danielle's best friend - Danielle was an Emergency Department Social Worker and worked with Steph's husband while he was an emergency medicine resident at USF/Tampa General Hospital. Their friendship blossomed sipping wine, watching Bravo and planning their annual girl's trip. She was also the only person to have seen the ring before Graham proposed!
Best Man
Undoubtedly one of Graham's closest and most loyal friends. Graham and Anthony were former surgical residents at USF/Tampa General Hospital. Anthony served honorably as a USMC Infantry officer, joining the military shortly after 9/11. Graham often reminds him that the Marine Corps technically falls under the Department of Navy.
Bridesmaid
Danielle's childhood friend - They grew up across the street from one another and choreographed many dances together in exchange for sleepovers (where their favorite thing to do was hang out in Danielle's walk-in closet and play M.A.S.H). The two reconnected when Danielle moved to San Diego, not previously knowing Casey was living here, working as a nurse. They have regrown their friendship over trips to Palm Springs and good wine.
Groomsman
Graham and Paul grew up together in the Philadelphia suburbs and share endless memories ranging from teammates on the Conestoga Lacrosse squad to Lifeguards patrolling the beaches of Cape May (as well as the bars).
Bridesmaid
Danielle and Alex met working at Tampa General Hospital, where Alex is a Pediatric Emergency Medicine attending. When Danielle's home flooded during Hurricane Idalia, Alex and her family selflessly opened their pool house for Danielle to stay in while her home was under construction (as her kids said, Danielle "lives in our backyard").
Groomsman
Graham and Collin are close cousins, always remaining a steadfast mentor akin to an older brother. They share many fond memories of childhood Telford visits, Cape May summers and DC bar tours. Forgiving Collin for being an Ohio State Buckeye still remains Graham's most trying and exhaustive task.
Bridesmaid
Danielle and Sari met while working together at Tampa General Hospital, where Sari is an emergency/trauma nurse. Their friendship was galvanized through 'trauma bonding' in the ED and cured by monthly Cooper's Hawk wine tastings.
Groomsman
Graham and Mike became fast friends as co-interns on a busy, stressful Trauma Surgery service. Their friendship moved quickly past the confines of the Trauma Bay sharing many beers around their favorite Tampa Bay sports bars. Mike is an Attending Urologist in Florida and a devout Notre Dame fan.
Bridesmaid
Danielle met Casey when she moved to San Diego - Casey's husband, Todd, and Graham have known each other for years through the Navy and they helped keep Danielle busy during the time Graham was deployed. Danielle was glad to return the favor when Todd deployed to the Middle East and South America.
Groomsman
Graham and Todd were Surface Warfare Officers who met serving together on the USS Cape St. George. Their friendship has persisted through many moves as Todd has been stationed in Bahrain, Hawaii and Portugal before circling back to San Diego. Graham and Todd picked up exactly where they left, however, enjoying golf, cigars and good whiskey. Todd is now a Commander, USN.
Bridesmaid
Ashley is Graham's sister and Danielle's future sister-in-law. Danielle was able to bond with Ashley (and the nephews) during visits to Cape May and San Diego, sharing beach days, happy hours, bike rides and California sunsets.
Groomsman
Tommy is Graham's brother-in-law and has been a de facto member of the Davis family for well over 12 years. Tommy and Graham have shared many a holiday, beach day, cocktail and adventure together. Tommy is a prior Varsity Penn State Lacrosse player and accomplished businessman.

Officiant
If it wasn't for JR telling Graham to stop talking about "the hot social worker back in Tampa" and to just send her a message while they were together in the Philippines for pre-deployment planning meetings, we wouldn't be getting together for this wedding! We can't think of anyone better to officiate our wedding than the man who made it all happen and are extremely grateful that JR and his wife, Ashton, are willing to travel from Yokosuka, Japan to be part of our special day.
