Wedding Party
Elizabeth Hale
Maid of Honor
Grace's friend since high school, and Luke's since Kindergarten. Elizabeth and Grace bonded freshman year over their mutual love of Imperial-era Russian history, and have since discovered that they have everything else in common as well. Elizabeth also has a 100% success rate in matchmaking. :)
Leo Sauter
Best Man
Luke's friend, and secret bromance, since the summer before high school began, when they met at a soccer camp. They were inseparable until Luke discovered Grace. They served as co-captains of the varsity men's soccer team, and like to fish together and play aggressive games of euchre.
Megan Estey
Bridesmaid
Luke's oldest sister, and his only reference point for understanding Grace's taste in things when they first started dating. Grace remains 100% happy with any and all of Megan's aesthetic opinions. :)
Andrew Estey
Groomsman
Luke's older brother with whom he has bunked with his entire life. (Now Grace has to deal with that.) Andrew's competition has forced Luke to become very good at soccer, board games, and ping-pong.
Abigail LaFave
Bridesmaid
Grace's first sister and the coolest person she knows. Grace is also continually flattered that people seem to think she looks like Abigail, although Grace feels positively short in comparison. :)

Maxton Fil
Groomsman

Isabella LaFave
