Mandy & Hank
Wedding Party
Hank Legan
Groom
5.12 climber.
Mandy Mendez
Bride
5.11 climber.
David Legan
Best Man
He’s my younger brother but taller, skinnier, funnier and more successful than I am and I’m not bitter about it at all. He will probably spend the wedding trying to convince you to BASE jump off the roof of the Austonian with him. Don’t.
Amy Noetzli
Maid of Honor
Amyloo and I met on day one in the freshman dorms at UT Austin. We've been through the highest of highs and the lowest of lows together, and I can't imagine doing any of this without her by my side. No wedding is complete without this dancing machine.
Robbie McGowan
Groomsman
Robbie says we met at a friend's pool party because he doesn't remember the time I saw him at the gym and commented on his French Open t-shirt and he completely blew me off. I repaid the favor by sandbagging him on his first outdoor climb. The rest, as they say, is history. Thanks for being a great climbing partner and better friend.
Whitney McElwain
Bridesmaid
Whitney and I have experienced countless cities, music festivals, concerts, hikes and Red Bull parties together. We met through her roommate a decade ago, and she quickly became one of my favorite people. She asked me to be part of her special day, and now I'm giddy about having her be part of mine.
Randall Williams
Groomsman
I met Randall when he passed through Austin on a cross-country climbing trip during his time off from his job in Antarctica. His relentlessly positive attitude benefits anyone lucky enough to pin him to one location long enough to get to know him, and fortunately for all of us he’s staying put long enough to be part of our wedding.
Macey Taylor
Bridesmaid
I don't remember exactly when or how I met Macey, but I'm sure glad I did. She is one of the coolest gals you'll ever meet, will obsessively quote F•R•I•E•N•D•S with me and shares my weird obsession with finding the best tiki bar. Is this friendship? I think so!
Macy Legan
Groomswoman
My older sister. I spent so much of my childhood trying to compete with the standard she set that I hated her for having set the bar so high, until I finally realized how lucky I was to have someone so infinitely capable leading the way. P.S. if you want to have some fun, ask her about our ACT scores.
Hal Peters
Bridesman
I have Whitney to thank/blame for this friendship. She invited him to join us for brunch at Trudy's that one time many, many years ago, we bonded over Breaking Bad and we've been two of the worst people together ever since. Thank you for agreeing to be a bridesman for the second time in your life.
Tori Yu
Officiant
There wouldn't be a wedding if it weren't for Tori. She was a mutual friend. Mandy invited her to Austin Bouldering Project one rainy Saturday three years ago. Hank happened to be there, recognized Tori and the rest is history. She is one of our best (and funnest) friends, and we can't wait to have her officiate. Tori, feel free to keep some stories to yourself. :)
Maeby
Ring Purrer
Unfortunately, she already RSVPd “no.”
