Nina & Michael
Wedding Party
Amy Wei
Maid of Honor
Amy and Nina met as interns at Deloitte, and after the summer they decided to live together in New York after graduation (aka, Nina bullied Amy into the decision). They lived together for 4 years (basically a domestic partnership), eating and exploring their way through NYC (mostly Chinatown) before Nina went to business school and Amy moved to SF, but have stayed best friends since.
Christine Taylor
Bridesmaid
Chrissy is Nina's younger cousin (more like sister). They've been dressing in matching clothes since 1992, much to their dismay in their younger years, but to their delight and parents' embarrassment as adults. I don't really see an end to this tradition anytime soon - sorry Mike and Ben!
Abaigh Kelley
Bridesmaid
Abaigh and Nina went to Notre Dame together, and through a weird twist of fate ended up living together their senior year. Given their lax (at best) business major schedules, their indulgence in spa-day fridays, visits to the same pet store every single week, and love of Wendy's Spicy Nugs brought them together, and despite a lack of spa-day Fridays, are still best friends!
Lindsay Livingston
Bridesmaid
Lindsay and Nina got to know each other at a young age through their mothers' friendship - Lindsay was always like a big sister to Nina growing up, from babysitting to taking her to her first party to traveling to Australia together. The two stayed close and have many more adventures to come!
Christine Marcos
Bridesmaid
Chrissy joined the family 2 years ago when she married Nina's brother, Michael. Between birthday parties, holidays down in Florida, and Christmas trips into the city, they've gotten very close over the years, and have a lifetime of sisterly-bonding ahead!
Beth Turner
Bridesmaid
Beth and Nina met before business school at a happy hour, and became close quickly! They went to Ibiza and Peru together before school started (two VERY different trips), lived on the same floor at school, and lived together at the infamous Treehouse during their second year.
Andrew Engber
Best Man
Andrew is Michael's younger brother. He could often be found following Michael around as they were growing up, wanting to take part in whatever Michael was doing. Even though he was the annoying younger brother, Andrew has been Michael's best friend since they were playing with beanie babies as toddlers.
Michael Marcos
Groomsman
Michael is Nina's older brother. The two Michaels met for the first time at a gun range several days before Michael's wedding. One of the first conversations they had was how to properly fire Michael's handgun - quite the first impression! The two have been battling to avoid the title of "other Mike" in family events ever since.
Rylan Collins
Groomsman
Michael and Rylan were roommates for two years in college. They met sophomore year and instantly bonded over their love of Smokey Joe's. They have stayed close over the years despite Rylan living and traveling around the world as a member of the Navy. When they are in the same place, they can often be found goofing around, making fools of themselves or making jokes no one else finds funny.
Duncan Lapres
Groomsman
Michael and Duncan met in business school when they were in the same first year study group. Even though they met in a study group, Michael and Duncan bonded through their travels around the world, late nights on the pong table and love of Boston sports. Duncan played a crucial role in this wedding, as he was the one who introduced Michael to Nina.
Jung Lee
Groomsman
Michael and Jung have been good friends since college but became even closer when they both lived in Boston. The two have built up a collection of inside jokes over the years that would leave many people unable to understand a thing they are saying (just ask Nina). While they are on opposite sides of the country now, they never miss a beat when they are back in the same place.
Zack Luz
Groomsman
Zack was Michael's neighbor growing up and one of his closest friends since they were young. Michael and Zack spent many hours together as kids playing wiffleball during the days and videogames late into the nights. They also were roommates for 3 years in Boston where they created their Sunday ritual of watching "The Notebook" together.
Max Wheeling
Groomsman
Michael and Max were roommates for two years in college and one year after graduation. The two have been known to engage in healthy debates over obscure sports topics that have ranged from whether the BCS was good for college football to who the 15th best running back in the NFL was in 2010. They both live in Philadelphia now where their friendship continues to blossom.
