Liz & Jake
Wedding Party
Anthony Boodrookas
Best Man
When Jake entered a new school for 6th grade, he found a fast friend in Anthony. United by a passion for baseball and music, and a uniquely compatible weirdness, their friendship only grew in the time since. Theirs is a bond that has remained strong across fourteen years, hundreds of miles, and multiple phases of life. Anthony is thrilled to stand by Jake’s side as he and Liz welcome their next exciting adventure.
Tajbir Sandhu
Best Man
Friends for over a decade, Tajbir and Jake's friendship has spanned many, many hours of rich conversations over coffee, Halo, catch in the park, and the celebration and lamentations of their numerous sports fandoms. While distance has been a factor in their relationship for the past few years, there is no number of miles that could ever stop Jake from intentionally mispronouncing Taj's name or hypothetically offering his favorite team's garbage players for Connor McDavid.
Josie Gruber
Maid of Honor
Josie and Liz met each other in middle school. Ever since then, they have been practically inseparable. Their friendship is marked by a mutual love of people-watching, science and food. Over the span of 14 years, they have created many memories together and consider themselves more like sisters. Both ladies are adrenaline junkies, and therefore, are adventure buddies for life. It's only fitting that Josie would be the Maid of Honor by Liz's side on her greatest adventure yet.
Tiana Bickford
Maid of Honor
Tiana says it would take her too long to recount all the memories she has with Liz. Liz has been in her life for the better part of the past fourteen years and Tiana wouldn't change a minute of it. From playing in an all-girl band together, to afternoons spent helping Nana deliver Avon – to a million other things in between – Tiana has known since she and Liz were kids that this would be a lifelong friendship. Tiana is so happy for Liz and Jake's next adventure together and feels so blessed to be a part of it.
Adelle Myers-Decker
Mother of the Groom
A note from Adelle: "Jake Arthur, you made me a Mother, Mommy, Mom for the first time. What a blessing and honor to call you my firstborn and be your mom. It was a joy watching you grow to be the man you are today. Your warm smile, sweet personality, kind spirit and brilliant mind are just a few attributes of who you are as a person. Love you to the moon and back!"
