David and Jessie
Wedding Party
Lizzie McFarland
Maid of Honor
Lizzie Bizzie Dizzy is my little sister. She's the beauty to my beast and has been by my side since birth, always there to laugh and have a glass of wine, give me unsolicited makeup advice, and to be the silliest and most engaging person in any room. I can't imagine anyone else as my MoH on the big day.
Kartik Anjur
Best Man
Also known as the iconic duo of "Harold and Kumar", the pair of David and Kartik goes back to freshman year at Wash U where they embarked on an adventure that involved countless hours of forced friendship through shared activities like swimming and Sigma Chi. After being separated since 2011, David and Kartik have been reunited once again in the great city of Chicago, and now live on the same street within two blocks from each other.
Rebecca Orr
Bridesmaid
I've looked up to my Cousin Becky since I was little and liked to play with her dog Frosty more than I liked to play with her. Fortunately those tables have turned and I'm lucky enough to have her as one of my best friends and playmates here in Chicago. She is the most well traveled person I know, has the loudest laugh in the world and makes amazing stuffed mushrooms.
Zach Gossman
Groomsman
Although Zach went to Wash U as well, we didn't know each other well until after graduation. In 2013, Zach needed a roommate in Cleveland aka The Land, and the rest was history. Bonding over their love for Lebron James and basketball, they lived a luxurious life with season tickets to the Cavs for The King's return. Zach and David and were frequently found around town on jogs with their shirts off, or chatting with their local barber, Chuck, on Sunday mornings.
Jen Wellings
Bridesmaid
I knew very early on in mine and David's relationship that his sister Jen and I would be friends. He told me childhood stories about how they would yell "HUNGAMUNGUS EAT MY FUNGUS!" going down the water slide at the local pool and routinely put on plays for their parents, both of which hilariously mirrored mine and Lizzie's relationship growing up. She's simultaneously one of the most poised and yet goofiest people I know, and I feel so lucky to inherit her as a sister.
Akhil Patel
Groomsman
Akhil is David's oldest friend. Akhil became David's friend around the year 2001, where they were two awkward kids looking for friendship. Akhil and David have been there through all chapters of each other's lives and have seen each other blossom into very respectable gentlemen. Akhil resides in the great city of Chicago with David now as well.
Andrew Stoker
Groomsman
Andrew and David have been friends since sophomore year of high school and spent their mornings and evenings swimming together for the same club and high school swimming team and burning off their hair with chlorine at the same time. When not dominating in the pool, Andrew and David were often found roaming the halls of Conestoga High School together up to no good.
