Maid of Honor
Rebekah is Hannah's younger sister, and has been her best friend since Hannah was 4 (when Rebekah was born). Rebekah just graduated from college - ask her about her internship on a farm in Hawaii!
Best Man
JT is Michael's older brother and best man. He, like Michael, attended both IC High School and Purdue. Michael served as JT's best man at his wedding. JT would love to talk to you about his love of music.
Bridesmaid
Rania was Hannah's first friend at Loyola, and since engaging in shenanigans in their freshman year dorm, they became sorority sisters and were roommates for three years. For two of them, they lived down the street from the wedding venue and fell in love with Lincoln Park (especially Molly's Cupcakes and the bar trivia options).
Groomsman
Nick is Michael's friend from IC High School. He ran track and played football with Michael. He shares Michael's passion for music and poker. He is the better half of the Mighty Mites.
Bridesmaid
Michelle is Michael's sister-in-law and is married to the best man, JT. She's known the Howlett family since she started dating JT at IC High School. Michelle is our decoration guru, so you can thank her for the wedding decor!
Groomsman
John has known Michael since kindergarten. They both attended IC Grade School and IC High School. They also lived together for over 3 years. John could give the Dos Equis guy a run for his money as the Most Interesting Man in the World.
Bridesmaid
Taylor and Hannah met in college, where they were sorority sisters. Hannah and Taylor also lived in New York at the same time, where they loved exploring Brooklyn and ate too many bagels. Taylor has an adorable pug named Winnie, who Hannah and Rania helped her adopt, and is a pediatrician.
Groomsman
Paul is Michael's brother-in-law. He met Michael's sister, Courtney, at Notre Dame and fell in love. Paul was always good to Courtney's much younger brother, Michael, and would gladly oblige to a playing a video game or two.
Bridesmaid
Courtney is one of Michael's older sisters, and married to groomsman Paul. She also attended IC High School, and is a big Notre Dame fan, where she and Paul attended college. Courtney has been a mentor to Hannah and Michael as they begin their lives together.
Groomsman
Bill is Michael's brother-in-law. He met Michael's sister, Kerry, and married her. Bill has a low-key great sense of humor and an equally infectious laugh. His local knowledge of Chicago is unmatched. He is very loyal and always willing to help in any way he can.
Bridesmaid
Kerry is the oldest of the Howlett siblings, and is married to groomsman Bill. She also is an IC Knight. Kerry and Michael have always had an inexplicable bond. Her personality is infectious and her personality is bigger than the room.
Groomsman
Danny might have been the first friend Michael ever had. His family grew up alongside Michael's in the IC and Elmhurst community. They spent almost every day playing together and that continued into IC High School where they played together once again on the football field. He is a loyal friend.
Bridesmaid
Ali and Hannah met in high school during a production of Grease. Ali and Hannah share a mutual love of boy bands and reality TV. Even though Ali is younger than Hannah, Ali has always taken care of her and Tori. Ali is also getting married in 2020!
Groomsman
Jose is Michael's fraternity brother from Purdue. They lived two years together after college. He is part of the regular poker group which is a bastion in Michael's social life. He always finds time for others. He always puts others ahead of himself.
Bridesmaid
Shereen and Hannah met in their sorority in college, where they first bonded over horror movies and soft sugar cookies, and were roommates for 1 year. Shereen is a great "aunt" to Phoebe. Together, they love exploring the city with Shereen's golden retriever, Maya.
Groomsman
Brendan is Michael's fraternity brother and college room mate. Brendan asked Michael to stand up in his own wedding and has maintained a close relationship since his days at Purdue. Despite his allegiance to the Kansas City Chiefs, Michael always looked at Brendan as a role model.
Bridesmaid
Tori and Hannah met in middle school (and there are many embarrassing pictures to prove it!). They've spent many formative moments together, including trips to visit Tori's grandma in Hawaii, high school plays and an ill-advised (at least on Hannah's part) season of track. Tori and Hannah, along with Ali, are cat ladies that love Bravo reality shows.
Groomsman
Pat is Michael's fraternity brother and former college room mate. Michael and Patrick spent countless hours together cheering on their beloved Boilermakers. Pat and Michael began a friendship right away in the early days of their pledgeship that has remained ironclad every since.
Flower Girl
Phoebe is Hannah and Mike's best friend, a champion snuggler and vicious bird hunter. Although she'll be an absent flower girl (and don’t worry- Hannah is a crazy cat lady, but not quite crazy enough to bring a cat to a wedding), Mike and Hannah can't imagine their special day without their bestie - they'll be sure she's incorporated on the big day!
