Officiant/Bridesman
Connor lives in LA now but he and I have also been best friends since high school. We have sooo many goofy memories (they also include choir/musicals, being DQ coworkers, pizza dates, and BGSU visits) as he, Casey & I are really the three amigos. My favorite memories are making ridiculous videos after school while scouring Perez Hilton for all the latest gossip and learning Lady Gaga dance moves. He is the absolute life of the party anywhere he goes and truly one of the most special people in my life!
Matron of Honor
Casey and I met back in high school in Ohio. We became best friends over the years, from sitting next to each other in Mrs. King's Choir class & working at Dairy Queen together (LOL), to crazy college antics (and my many visits to BG) and now being in each other's weddings. She is a teacher in Indiana now and while I really miss having her live 5 minutes down the street, we can always pick up like no time has gone by. She has the biggest heart of anyone I know and I'm so grateful to have her in my life!
Bridesmaid
Gagan is married to Kevin's twin brother, Keith. She and Keith started dating around the same time as Kevin and I, so naturally the four of us spent a lot of time together over the years. As she and I grew closer, she really started to feel like family to me. She is one of the most easy going people and I love any time we spend together, whether it's watching reruns of Bob's Burgers, or wine nights and hanging out at Third Street, haha. I'm so grateful to have her as my sista friend!
Bridesmaid
Jordan and I went to nursing school together at ONU & were pretty much instant friends our freshman year. We wound up in a few clinical groups together but obviously the best was our pediatric clinical rotation, as we are both pediatric nurses now. We just have so many wild college memories together, I couldn't even begin to list them all- but I can't help but laugh to myself every time I think about them. Even though we are a few states apart, we've always remained close and I am so grateful to have a friend like her.
Bridesmaid
Kate is my go-to Chicago gal! She & I started working at Lurie's PICU together about 6 years ago and became fast friends. Being two newbies in a huge unit like that, we clung onto each other for sure. Though she only stayed in the PICU with me for about a year, she didn't go far at all. We both got engaged just a few months apart which has been so fun to experience together. She has the bubbliest and most infectious personality and I always enjoy our frequent dinner dates!
Bridesmaid
Kelsey started at Lurie's just a couple months after me and we were quick friends as well. She hung around a little longer, but moved to Indy about three and a half years ago. We had the BEST time tearing up Chicago (and South Haven... never forget) and our much needed chocolate milk dates at 3am in the PICU (but I miss our Doc B's dates the most!) It's nothing but laughs when Kels is around and while I can't wait to watch her get married in June, she will always be my work wife!
Best Man
As i'm sure everyone is aware of Keith is my twin brother. Keith and I have done everything together whether it was playing baseball in our youth, running cross country and track in high school, and going to college together. We have two matching tattoos, shared a 1 bedroom apartment at one point, and have gone to so many concerts together I'm pretty sure I have tinnitus. There is no one else I could imagine being my best man.
Groomsman
I met Chris while attending Wayne State for undergrad. We would party at The House of Dreams, were regulars at Third Street Bar, and my festival buddy. You can always catch Chris with a beer in his hand and a smile on his face. There are way too many memories to list and a lot of nights that I don't remember. I am grateful to call him a friend but my liver begs to differ.
Groomsman
Han and I met while attending DePaul University for grad school. You can find Han and I going to pool halls, local bars and restaurants throughout the Chicagoland area. If you need someone to discuss any murder mystery or cold case this is your guy. Just ask him about the Delphi Murders and you'll be set. Lastly, we probably consumed way too much all you can eat sushi over the duration of our friendship.
Groomsman
I would consider the Campbells a second family at this point. I met Andrew or better known as "Soup" way back in middle school in Woodhaven. We ran XC/Track together in high school where we became really close friends. Although Soup went to Ferris state to run cross country, you could often catch Keith and I hanging out at the track house partying around Big Rapids. Soup is the best person to roll with unless it's a Jeep... never forget.
Groomsman
The Brendon and I were roommates, classmates, research lab partners at Wayne State. From drinking “blue drink”, going to I don't know how many Silverstein concerts, and swan diving down stairs we have great collections of memories. The real reason why he is a groomsman is he wrote one of my college essays for a Greek Mythology course and I am still paying off that debt we are even now.
