Maid of Honor
We met in high school and she taught me what real coffee should taste like. We call it like we see it and even though the miles apart have grown, our friendship has only gotten stronger.
Best Man
Sean and I are 2 year's apart which meant I always got to go first in board games. Even though Sean lives in New Orleans now, we can still play video games together and I couldn't imagine him not being part of this day.
Bridesmaid
Not only does Ally have the best vocabulary I have ever heard, she also has the best restaurant recommendations! I know I can lean on her for anything and I couldn't imagine getting married without her.
Groomsman
He's the man that started it all. Being Heather's twin, I couldn't imagine not being friends and, for the record, I knew him first! He loves sports and knows how to liven up any room he walks into.
Bridesmaid
For some reason, she is one I always get into trouble with. Or should I say "have adventures with"? From our first trip to Europe together to our other jet-setting excursions, I can always count on her for a great story.
Groomsman
Ask Nate any question about history and he'll probably have an answer for you. His head is as full with ideas as it is with hair and he is always up for a good laugh.
Bridesmaid
Autumn is one of the coolest people I've ever met. We bonded over Hayao Miyazaki movies in high school, but our friendship only grew. She is always there with some good tea and a good laugh when I need one!
Groomsman
Billy is my oldest friend. We met through my brother Sean and haven't stopped hanging out since. From playing Frolf to making a mean pizza, this man has been there through thick and thin.
Bridesmaid
My favorite middle sister is the most caring person I know. She is always looking out for me and I love spending time with her going shopping or out for brunch. While her pup, Stella, can't join us, I can't wait for Emily to help walk us down the aisle!
Groomsman
There were so many Ryans on our grade school class that we always call him Pater. He loves to run and be active and is the first one to sign us up to volunteer for Habitats for Humanity.
Bridesmaid
How are the youngest ones always the loudest? Even though we are six years apart, there is no separating sisters. She's got hops, but also knows when to break out her dancing shoes, so let's bring on the party!
Groomsman
If you need any recipes for you next meal, Joe is the one to ask. He is an excellent cook and a mean board game player. He's got strategy for days. While you can now find him in Milwaukee, he's still a Sox fan at heart.
Officiant
Giuseppe and I met in 4th grade and it was basically love at first sight--sorry, Heather. We hung out so often that each of our mother's knew our food preferences. From sharing our love of pasta to living in the city, we are honored that he is marrying us.
