Jillian & Andrew
Wedding Party
Allison Brown
Maid of Honor
Allison is Jillian's older sister (so don't let her shorter stature fool you.. :P). Allison and Jillian have been two peas in a pod since they were little, the best of friends. Allison is joining Jillian on the East Coast this summer when she moves to Boston for her fellowship. She's lived in Birmingham, AL for the last 5 years. She can tell you all about good southern food!
Sebastian Johnson
Best Man
Sebastian is Andrew's younger, and only, brother. They have known each other for a long time :P Seby hiked the El Camino across Spain last summer and has some amazing stories from it. Don't challenge him to a walk-off, he could definitely win! Seby now lives in Washington, D.C.
Hilary Brownlow
Bridesmaid
Jillian and Hilary met their first week of freshman year of college at the University of Minnesota. Their dorm rooms were right across the hall from each other. Both on their own for the first time, they became best buds and partners in crime! After being long-time roommates and joint cat moms in Minneapolis, they've reunited again in Washington, D.C.
Brian Donovan
Groomsman
Andrew and Brian formed a friendship in 7th grade while often being the last two kids to be picked up from carpool, so they can thank their parents' tardiness for that. From there, they've spent countless hours hanging out in Andrew's basement, McDonald's, and even ran with the bulls together in Pamplona. Brian currently lives in Boston.
Meghan Byrne
Bridesmaid
Meghan and Jillian met through Kareem and Andrew after all moving to Washington, D.C. It didn't take long for the ladies to prefer hanging out by themselves without their respective men and bonding over their Midwestern heritage and love of craft beer and brew tours.
Kareem Farah
Groomsman
Although Andrew and Kareem have the faintest memory of one another when they were in second grade and kindergarten, respectively, their friendship really took off in high school. The two are known to watch a lot of NBA games, order delivery, and talk for way too long.
Kylie Seltzer
Bridesmaid
Jillian and Kylie met sophomore year of college at the University of Minnesota in a French class. Kylie proactively asked Jillian on a friend date, and they've been close ever since! They equally share an affinity of France, a good espresso, and J.Crew. Kylie lives in Pittsburgh with her husband Greg.
Kit Neuman
Groomsman
Andrew and Kit met as fifth-grade classmates; there's a photo of them dressed as ancient Greek Olympians somewhere in storage, togas and all. Their lives have been intertwined ever since, including varsity basketball to Midwestern road trips to D.C. roommates... sort of. Kit lives in just outside Philadelphia with his wife, Courtney.
Sophie Zhou
Bridesmaid
Sophie and Jillian met through a mutual friend in the college dorms during their freshman year, as well as in the student organization AIESEC, the same club where Andrew and Jillian met. It was meant to be! They became fast friends due to their shared interests in business, foreign countries and travel, and of course Punch pizza (a local Minneapolis favorite). Sophie now lives in Naples, FL.
Andres Roesch
Groomsman
Andrew and Andres have the same translated name, but they have more in common than just that. The two cousins have an appetite for fast-casual, dining, comedy, adventure. Their relationship may have started in Guatemala, but Andres and Andrew eventually became roommates in D.C. as well.
Mary Scharffenberger
Bridesmaid
Jillian met Mary three years ago as a pure coincidence at a mutual friend's birthday. Mary needed a roommate to fill an open room, and Jillian was looking for somewhere new to live; it was a perfect match! Not only did they become joint cat moms to Izzy, but they became way more than just roommates and best friends. Mary now lives in the Bay Area.
Jose Carlos Rodriguez
Groomsman
As with most of his cousins, Andrew initially spent a lot of his time with Jose in Guatemala, but it was Jose's frequent visits to D.C. area that deepened their bond. The two of them spend hours dissecting different pop culture trends and the latest movies and shows, and usually forget to leave time to actually catch up. Jose currently lives in Houston.
