Best Man and Father of the Groom
It's common in the South to have your father as your Best Man, as a good dad embodies everything a Best Man should be. Addison is looking forward to bringing a Southern tradition up North!
Maid of Honor
Ellyn is Justyn's older sister. Living three blocks away from each other in Washington D.C. allowed their relationship to blossom from sisters to friends. Though they fight the minute they walk into their childhood home, deep down, they do love each other. You will always know when they are together, as you'll be able to hear both of them speaking in their typical above-average volumes.
Officiant
Justyn and Justin met on the 4th floor of Thurston Hall at GW freshman year and quickly became Justi(y)n squared. Addison, who was the original third wheel, was not happy with his position. Today, Addison is proud to announce that Justin is officially the third wheel.
Dog of Honor
Bovis is the Dog of Honor! To some people, Bovis is a four-year-old mutt, but to Justyn and Addison, Bovis is their best friend and son. Bovis is known for throwing banger birthday parties and makes a killer bourbon signature cocktail.
Bridesmaid
Sarah and Justyn met after they were randomly selected to be roommates on GW Hillel's Birthright Trip. While Justyn's loud personality slightly intimidated Sarah, the two discovered they were more similar than they ever thought. They bonded over their love of wine, cooking, and baking. Justyn and Sarah lived together post-grad before Justyn moved in with Addison.
Bridesmaid
Hannah and Justyn grew up a block away from each other and were inseparable from the beginning. Even though they were in different grades, the two were two peas in a pod. Hannah is the "adopted" third daughter in the Needel family. Hannah and Justyn could not be more opposite, but that is what makes their friendship so special.
Bridesmaid
Justyn met Cooper in 2008 at Camp Tevya. With another Rebecca in the bunk, Cooper's nickname was born. Cooper and Justyn always joke that since Cooper made it through Justyn's puberty and extremely dramatic years and did not scare away, they would be friends forever. From braving the deserts of Israel during a war to hiking the peaks of Machu Picchu, the two have been on some incredible adventures together.

Caroline has been one of Addison's favorite sisters since 2010. They are closer in age, so it took them a little longer to like one another. Today, they bond over enjoying High School Musical the Musical the Series and Cookout BBQ.
