Wedding Party
Ashley K. Wilson
Bride
This bride is a veterinarian, horse-girl, card-writer and lover of ice cream (let's just say she handled the invitations and booked the UD Moo Mobile). She first met Liz at UD Decision Days before even starting college and didn't think they would be close friends because Liz was so quiet. You can see how that turned out!
Liz Drummond
Bride
This bride is a librarian, Spongebob superfan and crafter extraordinaire (let's just say she handled designing the centerpieces and the website). She first met Ashley at UD Decision Days before even starting college and bonded with her over a shared love of watching movies in lieu of college parties. Ashley was afraid her love of the show Dexter would scare off Liz Freshman Year - you can see how that turned out!
Dennafaye Daghlian
Bridesmaid
This bridesmaid is Ashley's amazing first cousin, Physician's Assistant and Mom to Henry and Riley from sunny California. Ashley was a bridesmaid in Dennafaye's wedding in October 4 years ago, now it's Ashley turn to be the bride! ("It's my turn to take a selfish." - David Rose)
Meagan Vogt
Bridesmaid
This bridesmaid is Liz's middle school bestie, biochemist and dog mom to Skipper and Stella. They met all the way back in 6th grade, bonded over scary movies, Disney trips, silly doodles and fart jokes, and have remained close and silly ever since. Liz was a bridesmaid for Meagan's wedding to Ryan in 2013, and now it's Liz's turn to be the bride!
Jennifer Roth
Bridesmaid
This bridesmaid is Ashley's oldest BFF, artist, and Mom to our flower girl Athena! Ashley and Jen have been friends since 1999 and were aptly nicknamed "Crash and Burn", so it's only fair that Ashley would marry another clumsy person!
Kat Groff
Bridesmaid
This bridesmaid is Liz's middle school bestie, as well as a social worker and pet mom to all in her role as an all-star pet sitter. Kat joined the already-weird duo of Meagan and Liz in 7th grade, bonded by fart jokes, Spongebob and sarcasm (or lack there of in Liz's case). Their friendship holds strong, even if Liz still isn't good at sarcasm.
Clarke Garthwaite
Bridesman
This bridesman is Ashley's oldest college BFF, fellow veterinarian and dog dad to Princess Margaret. While Liz technically met Ashley first, Clarke first befriended Ashley in the dorms after he knocked on her door freshman year. Clarke, Liz, Ashley and Clarke's husband Stephen still regularly bond over dinner parties, reality TV and a shared love of making fun of Ashley's love of plastic horses.
Hayley Weber
Bridesmaid
This bridesmaid is one of Liz's oldest friends and a comic artist, united on the beach in Cape May when they were single digits. Like clumsy girls do, they bonked into each other accidentally and started playing, our moms made friends, and the rest is history! Bonded by a shared love of Spongebob, manga and Madlibs, these goobers are still very goofy.
Claire Endo
Bridesmaid
This bridesmaid is Ashley's vet school BFF circa 2013. Even though they went from being classmates on the tropical island of St. Kitts to both practicing veterinarians on opposite coasts, they have still remained close; Ashley's ray of sunshine to Claire's rain cloud!
Sarah Roeske
Bridesmaid
This bridesmaid is Liz's work wife of 5 years and cat mom to Merlin and Molly, bonded as youth librarians at the Perryville Library over their love of goofy teens, anime, crafts, memes and general library merriment. While they don't work at the same branch anymore, they will be library married for life!
Hannah Paxton
Bridesmaid
This bridesmaid is Ashley's college BFF circa 2009 (who was also her TA!), Liz's former roommate with Sara Hobson and dog/cat mom to Aspen and Hawk. Ashley and Liz's journey together have coincided with Hannah's journey becoming a lawyer, so they've always been fierce allies for each other! Go gay aunties go!
Sara Hobson
Bridesmaid
This bridesmaid is one of Liz's closest college friends, as well as a pet store manager, seasoned Seeing Eye Puppy Raiser/Group Leader, and dog mom to all of the many Seeing Eye puppies she's raised! They met at UD through the Puppy Raisers of UD (along with Ashley, Clarke and Hannah who were all from the Animal Sciences department). Sara and Liz were roommates and lab buddies (dog labs and science labs, lol) for years after college, and still meet up with Hannah for quarterly girl nights to this day, always with a puppy in tow of course!
