Maid of Honor
Carly's best friend for life, her role model and most importantly her big sister. Ceara has influenced every aspect of Carly's life, and it only makes sense for her to stand by Carly's side on the biggest day of her life. Ceara was in astronomy club, Carly joined astronomy club (sorry I kind of hated it). Ceara went to TCNJ, Carly pretended she didn't want to go there and ended up transferring there anyway. Ceara became a teacher, Carly left her career and became a teacher.... LOL JK only one of them has the patience and heart to do that job. Ceara and Jeff graduated from Voorhees High School the same year and for all 4 years they were locker neighbors. Don't bother asking Ceara about it because she doesn't remember. Get ready for Ceara's speech because she thinks she's the funny sister, we shall see.
Best Man
One of Jeff's oldest friendships!! Jeff and Chris love to do everything together and if one of them can't make it suddenly the other has no interest anymore. Carly will always be sure to stay on Chris's good side because he has a lot of pull with Jeff's decision making. Chris is someone who we find ourselves celebrating all of our big life events with. He is a friend that's become family and we couldn't imagine our wedding day without him!
Bridesmaid
Jeff's older sister. What most people don't know is that her full name is Magetha Grace Pearson. What most people also don't know is that Jeff says that, knowing it will make her mad reading this. But let's get serious now... Maggie is not just Jeff's older sister, but she is someone who knows him better than most, has protected him her whole life, and Carly was terrified to meet her because of this. What Jeff didn't prepare for was Maggie and Carly becoming "as thick as thieves" as a wise Caroline Manzo once said. Seriously, the first night Carly and Maggie met they stayed up until 3am drinking wine and didn't even realize Jeff had left the room to play Xbox. Maggie has only showered us with love and support since the moment we started dating.
Groomsman
The brother Jeff always wanted and got anyway, funny how things work out. In all seriousness John has been someone who we both look up to and trust whole heartedly. Some of our biggest achievements (buying a house) wouldn't have been possible without him! Were both so lucky to have him as our brother.
Bridesmaid
Carly's best friend since high school and the person who she goes to with all the good and bad news. Lex and Carly met over a gross brown beer, a chicken tchotchke in a kitchen window, and pheasant their junior year of high school. These are all inside jokes to remind you that you aren't part of the 10+ year friendship... sorry. Words can't express how grateful Carly is to have a friend who has known her for so long, through all life's changes and still nothing has changed. Forever sisaliens.
Groomsman
The guy who Jeff used to yell at from his backyard to SHUT UP. Until they finally met and decided it would be more fun to terrorize the bus driver for 45 minutes every day. (Except for when they were inevitably thrown off)
Bridesmaid
The keeper of all Carly's secrets..... Carly would be putting a lot on the line if Shay wasn't in the bridal party. Please follow this link for more details - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBWYm1DZ650 You know that Paul Rudd meme "Look at us, who would have thought? not me!" that's their friendship. Shay and Carly were unlikely friends, a lot of people are probably so confused that they are so close...don't worry they know. Shay loves hard and cares deeply, she is someone Carly hopes to have in her life forever.
Groomsman
Tom and Jeff stay up late together to play games and tell stories a few nights a week. Be sure to watch out for his entrance it will either make you laugh or gasp.
Bridesmaid
She wanted to be a grooms girl but Jeff wouldn't let her wear a dress. Megan is one of Jeff's oldest friends (SINCE KINDERGARTEN!) and ex-girlfriend (7th Grade) who welcomed Carly into the very exclusive friend group with open arms. Megan is one of those people who radiates care and Carly is so grateful she has become such a close friend. She's the girl's girl who everyone wants and needs in their life.
Groomsman
I feel like were being repetitive but Jeff has actually known all his friends since he was 5 and Shaun is one of them! He is also Carly's personal coach whenever she needs it -specifically after a rough night when she needs someone to push her to hang the next day. Jeff will try to convince you his name is Shun all night - just go with it.
Bridesmaid
Carly's little sister. They both might have technically dropped out of Delta Zeta but if one thing came from it, it's Rachel! Rachel was the cool girl everyone wanted as a little sister. She is trendy, cute, fun and smart. Rachel is kind to her core and anyone who has ever crossed her has probably gotten a mouthful from Carly. Carly will protect her forever and love her until the day she dies. That's sisterhood y'all.
Groomsman
If you were wondering if Kyle has known Jeff since childhood, you are correct and catching on fast! Jeff really stands behind Drake when he said, "no new friends". Kyle is the kind of friend who always makes sure he is around when you need help. He's there when you need him and even when you think you've got it on your own, he offers support in any way he can. One of Carly's favorite things in the world is when people think of her when they hear Taylor Swift. At least once a week Kyle sends Carly a snapchat of his radio with a Taylor song playing. This may or may not put him at the top of Carly's list.... but she doesn't pick favorites, she just subtly lets everyone know, like on her wedding website perhaps.
Groomsman
Austin is one of Jeff's younger cousins who he may have or may not have bullied while growing up. Don't worry, they have become best friends! Austin is the life of the party and were so happy he is going to be part of our big day!!!
