Wedding Party
Sydney Gallagher
Maid of Honor
Sydney and Jordan met freshman year of college living in the same dorm! Jordan asked Sydney to rush a sorority with her and the rest was history. Attached at the hip since 18 years old, they have truly grown up together as they ventured into adulthood. Jordan attributes a lot of who she is today to her friendship with Sydney, as Sydney has always had the ability to bring out the best in Jordan and help her build her confidence in life! When Jordan talks about her, she often refers to her as her soulmate, as the term "best friend" doesn't do the depth of their friendship justice. Jordan can't picture her life without Sydney in it and fully plans to live in side by side houses, start a business, and eventually check into the nursing home together. If Sydney ever went down, Jordan would too!
Natasha Berkowitz
Bridesmaid
Natasha is Jordan's longest standing friend in the bridal party! They met back in 5th grade and were absolutely inseparable. They've truly grown up together and been there for each other in every life stage, no matter how close or far apart they lived! Natasha and Jordan's lives have always closely mirrored each other, and they joke they were twins who were separated at birth. (They're still waiting for their moms to tell the truth - we have yet to get a final verdict!) Natasha got married in July, and their youngest selves would be screaming with joy that they got to stand by each others sides for weddings less than 3 months apart!
Christina Bagley
Bridesmaid
Christina and Jordan met in middle school when Jordan transferred to her school for 7th grade! Christina was Jordan's first friend she made at the new middle school, quickly bonding through a shared interest in terrorizing boys, making up dance routines, and head banging to the goofy goober ROCK! Jordan attributes a lot of who she is today to her relationship with Christina and the people they grew in to together. Long distance friendship has never broken them - they pick right up where they left off every single time. Jordan admires Christina's creativity, her big heart, and the ability she has to make everybody feel like somebody!
Shannon Pastori
Bridesmaid
Shannon and Jordan met in middle school through fellow bridesmaid Christina! Jordan was drawn to Shannon by her calming presence and the kindness that radiates off of her. She's the kind of person who is so sweet and willing to help, you truly don't see it comin if she hits you with a zinger of a one liner! She's funny, she's witty, she's just ~that girl~ without even trying to be! Jordan is so grateful to have Shannon in her life, from teenagers to late 20s and beyond!
Breanna Singleton
Bridesmaid
Breanna and Jordan met in middle school, truly taking on the classic enemies to frenemies to best friends trope! They were inseparable in high school, practically living together with how often they were with each other. Wherever Brea was, so was Jo! They stayed close through long distance friendship in college, and even got to live together in Colorado for a little bit! When they first lived together, they lived in a one bedroom apartment with two dogs, and that was a blast in itself. People always asked how they made it work in such close quarters, and they always laughed knowing it was one of the most special, fun chapters of their friendship. Breanna is a new first time mom and still takes the time to stand by Jordan on her special day - something Jordan will never take for granted!
Mackenzie Burgess
Bridesmaid
Mackenzie and Jordan met freshman year of college through their sorority and quickly realized they had the same goofball sense of humor! Mackenzie is someone Jordan can go from laughing so hard she's crying with to the deepest, most thought provoking conversation. Mackenzie is more than just a best friend to Jordan, she's a sister; an unbreakable bond that has proven to stand the tests of time! Mackenzie recently moved to California and Jordan can't wait to have her back by her side on her big day! Jordan also requests everyone who reads this prays Mackenzie and her husband move their butts back to Colorado as soon as they are able (or else Jordan might have to drag them back herself!!!)
Lauren Price
Bridesmaid
Lauren and Jordan met the summer of 2018 while interning for Lockheed and attending the same college! They hung out a little bit in college, but their friendship really bloomed after college when they lived right down the road from each other and worked on the same campus. They did literally everything together after college, from work to parties to finding new friend groups in a new city! Lauren is one of the most empathetic people Jordan has ever met, and she's so grateful to have her in her life and by her side on her special day!
Kaylee Sistek
Bridesmaid
Kaylee and Jordan met in the last couple years through Kaylee's boyfriend! Kaylee was just visiting Colorado when they first met, but the first night they spent significant time together, you'd think they'd have been best friends forever! Making friends in your late 20s can be hard, but Kaylee is someone who made it really dang easy. If you know anything about Kaylee, you know that she is incredibly brave, strong, and not afraid to take risks. Her and Jordan have the most niche things in common and spend most of their time together laughing their butts off. Jordan is so freaking thankful Kaylee was brought into her life, often telling Kaylee that she is stuck with her forever!
Lucy Stephens
Junior Bridesmaid
Lucy is Jordan's cousin and glorified mini me!They met when Lucy was born - the cutest baby in all the land! She is currently 13 going on 30, and Jordan couldn't be more proud of the person she is growing up to be. Lucy is kind, hysterical, witty, brave - but the best part? She always remains true to who she is! To know her is to love her, and she's an absolute force to be reckoned with. Jordan wants to be Lucy when she grows up!
Noah Juran
Best Man
Noah and Brendan met freshman year and bonded over an interest in the outdoors and general lack of self-preservation. Adrenaline fueled the friendship and it continued strong since. Though they may have null and voided each other's life insurance policy via association, they aren't planning on quitting. The best "Best Man".
Ryan Greenfield
Groomsman
Ryan and Brendan have been friends for more than 20 years! Since elementary school, they spent countless hours playing pickup sports, trying to pickup girls and laughing the whole time. They spent a year living in Silverthorne, which was arguably one of the best years to date! Ryan is a brother to Brendan and an honor to have at alongside at the altar.
Stephen Schwenck
Groomsman
Stephen and Brendan first met in the early days of him dating Brendan's sister, Natalie. Immediately Brendan knew that he gained a brother. Many drunken nights and rounds of golf later, Stephen remains a dear and close friend. He has seen Brendan through the rough years of puberty and still stuck around. A true testament to brotherly love.
Cody Crown
Groomsman
Cody and Brendan have also been friends for more than 20 years! Cody has always been a cornerstone in Brendan's circle. With their niche humor and desire to complete strenuous challenges, they complement each other well. With Cody around, even the worst moments become that much better.
Cooper Cuntz
Groomsman
Cooper and Brendan have remained great friends since high school. As a skilled skier and higher risk taker, Cooper pushed Brendan out of his shell and shaped the person Brendan is today. Whether its a choose-your-own-adventure road trip, casino night or an impromptu hangout, Cooper always keeps it interesting. A valuable asset to the group and great friend.
Alex Tatum
Groomsman
Random college roommates at best remain cordial, but Brendan and Alex broke the norm and became exceptional friends. They coparented Elliot (a strapping young beer), Xerxes (RIP) and Murph (parttime). They hosted many parties, Catan nights and Alex introduced Brendan to the best group of guys on the frisbee team. An adult friendship that will last a lifetime.
Alec Brunk
Groomsman
Brendan and Alec met in high school and never stopped cracking each other up since! The catalyst to their friendship was Brendan's superb hosting skills that connected Alec and now-wife Marlee. Alec serves as a role model to Brendan and someone to confide in. He's never said no to a good time! A blessing in anyone's life and definition of a genuine friend.
Jake Stephens
Groomsman
Jake and Brendan were given the best situation: simultaneously, they get to become brothers and friends. Jake has an inherent athleticism that motivates Brendan. People will watch in awe when the pickleballs start flying. Though they met later in life, their relationship is comfortable and ready to persist for a long time.
Luke Yeager
Officiant
Luke and his wife Laurel are especially dear to Jordan and Brendan. Brendan has known Laurel since elementary school and watched their love flourish (and briefly kept it secret) to the marriage it is now. In Chicago, they offered a strong support system and they have always kept their hearts open. Brendan would not be the man today without Luke and Laurel. Luke has challenged Brendan academically, emotionally and religiously to strive for better. There is no better person Brendan could think of to officiate his wedding.
