Jenna & Marty
Wedding Party
Sarah Johnson
Maid of Honor
Sarah knows the bride and groom better than anyone. She introduced them and spent a year living with them where she learned the importance of saying "good night," and often had to mediate cordial discussions. She is the "Queen of Sunday Funday" and along with her relentless weekend skills, she is a gifted Principal of Chicago's youth. She enjoys trips to the J&M Tap, boat rides, poodles, snow globes, dancing, and season 2 of True Detective.
Emily Reece
Matron of Honor
Emily is one of Jenna's oldest and most loyal friends. She has known Jenna since Pre-School and the two of them got into lots of trouble together in high school. She takes care of just about any animal you can think of, including her pup Wilbur and is one of the most sincere and genuine people you will ever meet!
Amy Hermle
Bridesmaid
Amy is the most gifted athlete of the bridesmaids. Although a year younger, she taught Jenna how to deliver devastating hits on the volleyball court and often had to drag her across the baseline to finish the 10 minute mile. She is quite tall, quick witted, and has a fantastic sense of humor.
Allison Morrissey
Bridesmaid
Allison is the most grown up of the bridal party. She has been a dear friend of Jenna since high school and has always makes Marty laugh. She is a fantastic mother and will serve as a voice of reason during any pre ceremony disasters.
Jillian Kerwin
Bridesmaid
Jill and Jenna began their friendship on the dance floor, moving to the beat of "Soul Man" and "Meeting in the Ladies Room." Jill will have an opportunity to display her legendary skills on the dance floor of Silver Lakes but will have to hold back so Jenna can keep up. She is the only member of the bridal party to achieve the honor of Valedictorian, and tutored Jenna through most of her high school classes.
Erin Kilroy
Bridesmaid
Erin defines "Southside Irish." She was integral in planning the proposal and is one of Jenna's closest and most caring friends. She is an expert hair stylist and can help with any beauty mishaps should they occur. Their pups Norm and Stan are also pals and love rough housing.
Tracy Dudzik
Bridesmaid
Dudzy! The Bandit!The Little One! Tracy is a close friend of both Jenna and Marty and despite her small stature, she is an absolute blast! Friends with Jenna since their Kappa Delta days, Tracy is always in for a good time. While living with Jenna and Marty for a couple months, Tracy taught them how to cook an omelette, cut an onion, and organize their closet. She will most likely have to be put in the pocket by the end of the wedding.
Mallory McEldowndey
Bridesmaid
Mallory is another member of Kappa Delta and stayed friends with Jenna through her college tears, which couldn't have been easy. Mallory is a Sunday Funday staple and is able to stay out later than any of our friends. When she isn't helping save lives in the trauma unit of the ER she tends to rewatch Friends and visit Chicago's top Irish bars .
Meg Gehron
Bridesmaid
Meg is the only blood relative of Jenna in the bridal party. When she is not riding around on war horse, she typically is arguing with Jenna over the quality of Boston sports v.s. Chicago sports. She also has great seats at Blackhawks games.
Meg Babuskow
Bridesmaid
Meg is Jenna's friend from high school and fellow southside Kelly's Tavern groupie. She is always willing to let Jenna sleep on her couch after too many drinks and even lets her cuddle with her dogs Seamus and Finn.
Emma Power
Flower Girl
Emma is the daughter of bridesmaid Allison. She was ecstatic to be part of the big day only because she gets to wear a pretty dress. Emma might be a bigger diva on the day than Jenna.
Rory Calkins
Ring Bearer
Rory is the son of Marty's brother Jake and is Marty's God Child. Rory is somewhat skittish of Marty's beard and loves to say "No No!" to Marty when he asks him a question. He's a fan of action figures and calls them "his guys." We will most likely have to bribe him with toys to walk down the aisle.
John (Jake) Calkins
Best Man
Jake is Marty's older and only brother as well as his closest friend! He is physically inferior to Marty is every way (strength, speed, hair, etc.), but Marty still has the utmost respect for him.
Peter Szumski
Groomsman
Peter and Marty have been friends since Kindergarten. They attended high school and college together and were the original inhabitants of the famous Wrigleyville apartment, Castle Black. He enjoys sleeping and can slumber like a bear for nearly 18 hours without waking. He will not be allowed to interact with the officiant of the wedding.
Sean Mozdzen
Groomsman
Sean is one of Marty's oldest and most entertaining friends. He has proudly served both Chicago and Gary as a paramedic, however he struggles with basic household appliances such as dishwashers and trash cans. His girlfriend Allison will need to tie his tie before the wedding.
Arturo Segura
Groomsman
Art served proudly as Marty's back-up during their football playing days. He also once cheated in a game of one on one basketball against Marty in a game that lasted nearly 2 hours and almost ruined the friendship. Nevertheless, they remain close friends today and Marty is even officiating their wedding!
Shane Kilcoyne
Groomsman
The only "street smart" person is this crew, Shane has always been a close friend of Marty. He is the best athlete of the groomsmen, but unfortunately no longer has the cardiovascular endurance for full court basketball. He is however the only person to ever dunk on Mr. Calkins' basketball hoop in the alley.
Michael (Buck) Butkovich
Groomsman
Buck is a wild man and one of the closest friends of both the bride and groom. A legend from Illinois State University and North Riverside recreation basketball, he has finally made the move to the city of Chicago with his lovely girlfriend Jessica. She has begun to teach him how to live a socially acceptable life.
Tyler Wienke
Groomsman
Tyler has been like a little brother to Marty, despite the fact that they are the same age. He was Marty's college roommate at U of I where he once went 7 days without speaking. He enjoys whistling, ordering cheese curds, and making every conversation slightly more complicated and confusing than it needs to be. Great guy though.
Brian McMahon
Groomsman
Brian "Bmac" has been bothering Marty since the lettuce incident 14 years ago. He holds records in both Champaign and Chicago for most times being physically removed from establishments, typically in a hilarious fashion. Despite his pranks, he has made Marty keel over in laughter more times than any other groomsmen.
Anil Thapa
Groomsman
Anil is the only groomsmen to take the marriage leap so far. He has been friends with Marty since middle school and will serve as a counselor and advisor the day of the wedding in case Marty tries to flee the country in panic. Due to his tan complexion and sharp features, he is objectively the most attractive of the groomsmen, but lacks upper body strength.
Chris (Sy) Sayatovic
Groomsman
Sy is the tallest of the groomsmen and has the biggest hands you will ever see.
Stanley Calkins
Unofficial Groomsmen
Stanley is Marty and Jenna's precious corgi pup and will be there for emotional support while Jenna is getting ready for the wedding. He's not happy to wear a bow tie but is ecstatic that his humans are tying the knot!
