Meg is Laura's coolest cousin, no family member will argue that. She puts the RAD in Colorado and is a true mountain mamma.

Kaylie is Laura's closest childhood friend who has become a sister to all of the Krajewski kids. She will also be the first and last person on the dance floor.

Maddy Grant
Bridesmaid
Maddy and Laura became inseparable after meeting at Alpha Phi. Their relationship consists of working out, eating copious amounts of candy, and watching horrible movies. If you're interested in sneaking a dinner for 4 into a movie theater, Maddy is your gal ;)
Chandler Yankle

Chandler is Laura's best friend and designated bunkmate (when Tarik isn't around). You know what they say - every brunette needs a blonde best friend. Chandler's favorite colors are red, white, and blue and her favorite animal is the bald eagle.
Melody Chen
Bridesmaid
Melody and Laura met 8 years ago in college and it was what people would call love at first sight (Tarik came after, sucker). From bopping around campus, to exploring and eating their way from New York to Singapore, you could easily sum up their friendship as world class.
Suzie Tuthill
Bridesmaid
Suzie is one of Laura and Tarik's best friends from college and then New York. She is Piper's self-proclaimed godmother, Laura's #1 supporter, and Tarik's Twitter confidant.
Amy Held
Bridesmaid
Amy is the hostess with the mostess in the Singapore crew and she and Laura have become quite the dynamic duo. While Tarik and Chris order cheap basketball jerseys from China, Amy and Laura are planning how to get rich and travel the world together (still a work in progress). If you need to spot Amy in a crowd she will most likely be wearing a fabulous headband and Tarik doesn't trust her if she's without one.
Mehmet Erk
Father of the Groom
Mehmet is Tarik's dad and is no stranger to big Erk family parties. I hope he is ready for the biggest one yet!

Troy Erk
Groomsman
Troy is the youngest of the Erk children but don't let the age gap fool you, him and Tarik have always been an excellent duo.
Tom Krajewski
Groomsman
Tom holds the unique position of being Laura's brother and one of Tarik's closest friends. It also gave him the opportunity to properly vet his sister's fiancé. Tom will likely get a lot of questions on this during the wedding weekend. Tarik was a groomsman in Tom's wedding and both look forward to going from friends to brothers.
Andrew Krieger

Andrew is the newest friend of the groomsmen and Tarik's soon to be brother-in-law. Andrew and Colleen joined Tarik and Laura for a once in a lifetime trip across Asia and this was only the start of a friendship filled with great memories.

Alexander and Tarik have been the closest of friends since they were in diapers. A childhood friendship like theirs is not easy to find and one that continues to endure. Our families stay closely connected and Alexander is considered another son at the Erk household.
Brett Hansen
Groomsman
Brett is a lifelong friend of Tarik and is nothing short of family to him. They've had countless epic times together with no signs of slowing. The hardest laughs in the room will come from these two when they are together.

Sean and Tarik became great friends at Ohio State and not much has changed since then. Tarik was a groomsman in Sean's wedding and the wedding party wouldn't be complete without him.
Matt Parker

Matt and Tarik became fast friends going into high school at Nichols School. They also went to Ohio State together, roomed together all through college and joined the same fraternity. Tarik was a groomsman at Matt's wedding and was recently able to show Matt around his new home, Singapore.
Ian Walton

Tarik and Ian have been good friends since high school. The two as a duo always bring the fun up to another level. Ian is a master planner and the first guy you want to call if you're in a pinch.
Mark Krajewski
Groomsman
Tarik is excited to officially be Mark's brother but Mark has always felt like a little brother to him. What they don't say in words they send to each other in memes.
