Maid of Honor
After meeting in Greenville, Laura and Sarah spent their 20s together figuring out how to "do life". Sarah credits Laura for most of her responsible life decisions, and Laura can thank Sarah for most of her spontaneous decisions, one of which led her to meet her husband, Dan. Part of our Greenville Family, we love spending time in "the suburbs" with Laura, Dan and Baby Sam.
Best Man
Thirty-five plus years later and Josh, with his heart of gold, has stuck by Aaron through thick and thin. From childhood backyard forts and late night sleepovers, to more recent Kraft family cabin trips and overseas weddings - their friendship never skips a beat. Aaron and Sarah are looking forward to they day they get to reminisce with Josh and his wife Jutatip in person about their amazing adventures in Thailand.
Bridesmaid
Growing up, Aaron and his younger sister Emily were always competitive in school, sports and who got control of the TV remote. Now that they’ve grown up, they’ve learned how to play on the same team, helping each other at every turn and regularly checking in via Zoom or Facetime during this crazy pandemic year. Sarah is excited to be adopted into this team of "pizza friends" even though Emily had to explain the concept of “pizza log” to her on her first trip to Buffalo.
Groomsman
Video games get a bad rap in many circles but Aaron credits competition in a certain British spy game for the Nintendo 64 with kickstarting one of his longest friendships. Common loves of music, technology and pop culture have led to many years of discussion, debate and laughter. We have our fingers crossed that Josh again gets sent to Atlanta for work. Stranger things have happened!
Bridesmaid
Michelle joined the Arbogast family on a very strategic platform... to bring naps back. She and Sarah's brother met in a chocolate shop in Napa only to find out that they both worked for the same company and lived in Japantown, San Jose. Sarah and Michelle typically spend time together watching Harry Potter movies and demanding that the fireplace be turned on for the family cat, Bow.
Groomsman
Sarah's big brother, Robert has always looked out for her. Carrying her books when she broke her foot in high school, hosting her in Switzerland for summer... and a winter..., and flying to Greenville to be her unpaid labor at Imagine Upstate. One of her favorite memories with Robert was when he took her to Paris so that she could put her many years of failed french tutoring to test.
Bridesmaid
Amy and Sarah have a shared affinity for female frontwomen, quoting Clueless, and sporadically bursting out in high school cheer routines. Amy fully embraces and often fuels Sarah's love of live music (and glitter). As part of our "Greenville Family", Amy and her husband Matthias made the trip from Laguna Beach to be here - welcome home!

With family roots in Buffalo, Trevor is Aaron’s “brother from another mother”. Finally finding each other at GE in Greenville, SC after both attending RPI, these two have literally helped each other build homes away from home. Trevor, his wife Brittany and son Cassian are an important part of our Greenville family. #goBills
