"Dude" of Honor
They became best friends after a 2 week Theater Boot Camp at Signature Theater in D.C. After an intense process (Liz was 16 at the time) the two remained close... They experienced the trials and tribulations of the world together... Even when they were working out of state in the arts they gabbed for hours on the phone and always picked up where they left off. They have spent every big moment together and continue to share life's joys and challenges by the others side. #autumn

They met at an audition for Show Boat at a community theater... Liz did the production and Ellen decided against it... The review for that show was "S.O.S This Show Boat is Sinking" and Ellen made the right choice and Liz did not. Liz had no idea she would see Ellen again until they ran into each other at an audition years later and ended up in a class together that same year. From that moment on they knew it was fate and the two became close and each others cheerleader through life. They have dealt with the heartbreak of the business together and held the others hand when they needed it... Simply put Ellen is the Sophia to Liz's Dorothy. #thankyouforbeingafriend

Liz wanted to do an Equity production of "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown" and Liz was referred to coach Ethan Paulini... She thought he was grumpy and he thought she was crazy for wanting to put up a show in 4 months. He steered her in the right direction and she soon saw Ethan's kindness and unbelievable belief in a company she never thought would exist and her as an artist and human. He is the first to call her out when she is in the wrong, the first to tell her she is good enough, and the most incredible friend and work husband there is. There are very few teachers who become your family and bring you a community of friends you never thought you could have. #ethancoaches

Josh met Alison in a production of King and I and Liz and Alison connected instantly through the same #ethancoaches circle... The fact that Alison was close to the person Liz loved and the community of friends she loved it wasn't hard to become close fast! Liz also thought Alison was probably one of the coolest, honest, and most supportive gals out there right off the bat. It has been easy to fall in love with her, her hubby Peter, and of course fluffy pup Hobbs . Not a lot of new friends would invite them in with open arms the way Alison did. They have spent 2 Super Bowls together, an incredible New Years together, and WEDDING MADNESS! #smallworldonealison

They met in a class together and were fanning out over the others talent and it was basically a love at first sight situation (as far as friendships go). Liz pursued Bab's as a friend and Liz couldn't find Bab's via text for a while but Liz is persistent and eventually they found each other and became two of the closest gal pals there could be. They have been there to support the other over birthdays, happy hours, coffee, shows, and even loss and hard times. They always manage to be there when one happens to go missing for a while because they both know love is patient and kind for those who matter to us. #ladybird

Liz and Cara got close through Bab's and after meeting several times they decided to get together for drinks at Liz's favorite Happy Hour spot Burke and Wills. They both ordered the My Happiness cocktail and from there they became fast friends... The two connected over similar struggles and had many of the same interests... It wasn't until a little over year ago when Liz faced some family challenges that Cara and her mom Lil became like family. Cara has become like a sister to Liz and her beautiful heart and support has been the greatest gift in Liz's life. #myhappiness
Best Man
Josh met Aaron in a production of It's A Wonderful Life at Ocean State Theater Company in Warwick, RI. The two were total opposites but hit it off as two class clowns and intellectuals. They have been there for each other despite having a long distance relationship. Aaron will always drop in unexpectedly with little notice and the two will bond over a beer, sports, politics, Aaron's love life, and lots of laughs.

Andrew is Josh's multi talented older brother and friend. The two bond over everything and anything Patriots related and, despite living miles away from each other, they always enjoy seeing each other and bonding over food, family, and sports!
Groomsman
Josh's oldest brother and fellow sports and beer fanatic. Despite Josh being the brunt of Jason's jokes as a kid the two have become the closest of friends. Despite the distance between them they always pick up where they left off and are there for the other no matter how far apart they are.

Uton was Liz's friend first... But, Josh stole him after finding out that best friend Aaron was friends with Uton... And they all have the same humor that nobody gets but them.

Tina and Liz met when OOTB was producing the Musical Reading of Mommie Dearest and Tina played Christina Crawford. She is a star in every way! Liz always liked Tina, and Tina always liked Liz but they never got together until a year or so later and they instantly hit it off. Now Tina is Liz's ride or die friend and colleague. She saved Liz during a time when she really needed help and boy is she thrilled to have her as a member of her tribe. She is Liz's wine buddy, Josh and Liz's Dawsons Creek binging pal, her coconut ice drinking Pink Unicorn Merlady, and the greatest life saver as a new member of the OOTB Team. #pals #wewilltalkaboutitinthecar #allset
