Wedding Party
Kris Sandrock
Matron of Honor
It could be said that this wedding is brought to you by Jen's bestie, Kris. First, Kris literally sat Jen down and forced her to sign up for online dating (where, spoiler alert, she met Rob). Kris is also the aforementioned friend to point out the future name of Jenny Denney. Kris is currently playing the Monica to Jen's Rachel, tirelessly keeping wedding planning on track, from cold calling churches to helping Jen understand the timeframe behind wedding gowns (spoiler alert, they take forever).
Eric Denney
Best Man
Rob's brother Eric has been there for Rob through thick and thin--and countless bro trips along the way! From riding through the desert on camels to concocting the perfect gin and tonic while waiting for the grill to heat, Eric couldn't be a better brother and best friend to Rob. Eric is currently perfecting his bow tie game and wrangling Rob's many innovative ideas for a bachelor party.
Ellen Barry
Bridesmaid
Ellen is Jen's cousin, and the resemblance is uncanny--from a shared love of Harry Potter to a shared alma mater of Northwestern University. You could say Jen has been there for Ellen since the very beginning as Jen was a bridesmaid at Ellen's mom's wedding--it's all very full circle. Ellen is currently sending love and good bridal vibes from LA as she plans her own upcoming nuptials!
Bill Davit
Groomsman
Friends with Rob since childhood, Bill has seen it all and has the stories to prove it. Bill is always up for a ball game or concert at Wrigley, and a common pastime of his is dissuading Rob from daredevil stunt driving in his Viper. Bill is currently dreaming of the day Rob invites him out for a race against Rob's performance edition Model 3 Tesla.
Emily Barry
Bridesmaid
Emily is also Jen's cousin and Ellen's sister. Emily and Jen share a special and unbreakable bond forged over the years through a mutual love of wine and cheese, navigating the wide world of online dating, and a penchant for all things fabulous. Emily is currently figuring out all the details of the wedding that Jen never even knew she needed (but can't live without).
Steve Warner
Groomsman
Steve and Rob go all the way back to their days as buddies and roommates at Northern Illinois University. Steve has always been the voice of reason to Rob's curious and adventurous nature, which comes in especially handy when FBI agents are around. True story. Steve is currently perfecting his dance moves under the tutelange of his son, Ethan.
Lauren Denney
Bridesmaid
The lovely Lauren is Rob's niece, and Jen is thrilled to be her future Aunt. Jen and Lauren bonded immediately over a shared love of volleyball, and Jen is grateful to have spent time with Lauren not only in her home state of North Carolina but also exploring the world, from a cruise around the Mediterranean to hikes through Yosemite National Park. Lauren is currently working on making bridesmaid burpees a thing.
Dale Heidebrecht
Groomsman
Rob has known Dale since their freshman year of college. Rob and Dale share an enthusiasm for being gregarious and spinning a lively tale drawn from their extensive collection of life adventures. Dale has lived all over the country as a result of his career as an esteemed choral director. Dale is currently helping Rob and Jen curate their wedding playlist to festive perfection.
