Julia & William
Wedding Party
Kira Newman
Best Person
Sister of the bride and Julia's life long friend. Currently living in Ann Arbor with her wife, Gretchen, and son, Asa. Julia has always looked up to her older sister and admired her logical, focused, humorous and lovable nature. They share a profound love of fruits and raw veggies.
Hayes Biche
Best Man
A constant companion growing up together, Hayes and Will have gotten even closer since moving away from home. He’s grown from the goofy mischief maker many of us knew, to a clever, generous, and even charming young adult Will is thrilled to have as his best man. Because he has put up with Will for his entire life, because Hayes fills every room he’s in with smiles, and probably because Will was just over a year old when he was born, Will is lucky enough to have no memories of a world without Hayes.
Katie Ozawa
Bridesmaid
Katie was a friend at first sight starting in middle school. Some may say Katie was Julia's first love (except for when we play Sorry, which is no longer allowed). She is a thoughtful, witty and kind person who Julia has the privilege to see regularly now that she has moved to Boston!
Andy Levy
Groomsman
Andy has been Will's closest friend since they met in 7th grade at the Key School in Annapolis, MD. Met in middle school and have stayed close since. Currently taking time off to sail the western Atlantic with his girlfriend and greyhound. - most recently in the Bahamas. Luckily for Will and Julia, they made it all the way up to Boston on his sailboat last summer. Basically living the dream.
Kristen Moulton
Bridesmaid
Friends since Amherst, Kristen is a bubbly, kind and unbelievably positive person who has been cheering Will and I on since the start. (Sometimes I wonder if she is more excited for our wedding then we are). Since our time in college we have had wonderful adventures together in DC and more recently in Boston as we both struggled through internal medicine residency.
Jonathan Gaillard
Groomsman
Jon and Will met in medical school, and bonded over a love of games. They've stayed in close touch since, making time every week to play yet more games online. Jon is currently in a combined Pediatrics/Neurology residency at University of Michigan.
Sarah Williams
Bridesmaid
Only the finest of med school study buddies! We cooked together, suffered through grueling rotations together and got up to shenanigans on a fairly regular basis. No matter how hard things get she is always there to listen, provide advice and make me laugh. Sarah regularly leaves me with sore cheeks from smiling too much.
Whitney Fu
Groomswoman
Whit was one of Will's closest medical school friends throughout medical school. We've been board game rivals and drinking buddies, and not always great at staying in touch with each other, but she's one of the coolest and kindest people I know! Currently in General Surgery residency at University of Michigan (like Jon).
Sally Westcott
Bridesmaid
Julia's go to hype-woman since medical school! The Thelma to her Louise (with a happier ending). Whether hiking in Moab, watching Spongebob in PJs instead of studying, or petting rhinos in the zoo it is always an adventure with Sally which is why she was an obvious choice for bridesmaid.
Nick Lee
Groomsman
Will and Nick met in medical school, becoming fast friends due to (or perhaps in spite of) Nick's sardonic wit. Nick is currently in a combined Internal Medicine/Pediatrics Residency at UT Southwestern. Also regularly plays video games with Will (and Jon) to this day.
Chelsea Walter
Officiant
Who better to help us tie the knot than the adopted family member Chelsea. Chelsea first came into Julia's life in medical school, then a miracle happened and Chelsea was in the same residency program as Will and Julia. Through residency and COVID she became our family and support. She got to know us as professionals, individuals and partners and watched us grow as a couple.
