Wedding Party
Eileen Jodlowski
Maid of Honor
Eileen has never fit the mold of a younger sister: she was always much more interested in forging her own path than idolizing me. Despite this, I am always grateful to have Eileen in my corner. She is adventurous and self-confident, and I could hardly wish for a better role model (or Maid of Honor).
Gautam Srikishan
Best Man
From high school buddies to college dorm-mates, Gautam is always ready for music hour with me (Brad's perspective now). Also close friends with Margaret, he has been around to see our entire relationship develop. He inspires me to be more aware of what's happening in the world around us.
Katherine Jodlowski
Bridesmaid
As my youngest sister, Katherine has endured a lot of nicknames, childhood games gone awry, and general mayhem. Despite all this, she has grown up (although I still think she is 13) to be a smart, courageous, and inspiring young woman. She brings so much to our family, and what she brings is often alive and delicious. We ate this toad for supper that night. Love you, KJ aka Young Jones aka the True Jones.
John Rot
Groomsman
My relationship with John started as middle school enemies, but after some exposure therapy we became inseparable in high school! John and his wife Adina are our go-to couple for a fun a night of board games. John helps me to be silly.
Myra Thompson
Bridesmaid
Brad's favorite, and only sister! Myra is the best (future) sister-in-law I could ask for; from the very beginning of our relationship she has been nothing but kind and welcoming. Myra is my go-to person for travel tips and for re-working a sentence. :)
Chase Sund
Groomsman
I've gotten to know Chase over the years as my cousin Lauren keeps bringing him to family functions. I'm not complaining because he's a great person to know! I look up to Chase in many ways, and not just because he's taller than me. Chase encourages me to be stylish and creative.
Cristina Herren
Bridesmaid
My first best friend, all the way from 1st grade (she told me she liked my saddle shoes on the first day of first grade!), through high school until now! My first ever grown-up road trip partner, high school study buddy, and a kindred competitive spirit.
Jason Somerville
Groomsman
Jason and I hiked the Inca Trail along with Margaret and Eileen. On our trip he was our never-ending source of good morale. He's friendly and talkative, so if you're feeling shy at our wedding, this is the groomsman you want to find. He challenges me to be outgoing!
Becca Schatz
Bridesmaid
It's hard to say how or why Becca and I became friends in the first place, but I like to think our friendship brings truth to the adage, "Opposites attract." Becca has always been there to provide the common sense to my book smarts, and to lend a sense of adventure to everyday life. The Kimmy Gibler to my D.J. Tanner, Becca's signature move in grade school was walking into my house without knocking and going straight to the snacks. Now, she gives great advice and always believes the best of me.
Carrie Clasby
Bridesmaid
Carrie has been by my side throughout college and on through my Masters, seeing me through thick and thin. She was always a fan of Brad and the cheese plates he'd make us while we wrote our theses. We even starred in a short-lived, but Oprah-worthy, talk show together.
Kathy Klimentowski
Bridesmaid
We started off as coworkers at Espresso Royale, but Kathy very quickly became one of my dearest friends and eventual roommate. She also had one of the best reactions to hearing the news of our engagement! I can talk to Kathy about anything, and do, now that we don't spend all our time talking about Espresso.
