Maid of Honor
Met each other in 7th grade and a Swedish Fish solidified our friendship forever. And that is how I would describe our friendship - always sweet.
Best Man
Could not be luckier to have a man like this as my brother and now my best man. Caring, compassionate, selfless, and always up for a good time. Sean spent a lot of time with the older kids growing up and as the older brother, I was completely cool with it. We have gone through a lot together and it's always brought us closer. Although we may have had our moments of disagreement growing up, it never changes the fact that he is and will forever be my brother.
Matron of Honor
A friendship that could withstand being roommates for over three years (how many people can say that?) Post college, we got to live out our best "The Hills" life as roommates in West Hollywood. A true friend regardless of what country she lives in.
Best Man
Due to our very similar last names, we had lockers right next to each other from fourth through twelfth grade. I couldn't have been luckier to have it work out that way. We have experienced a lot since saying "what's up" back in fourth grade. We've had our fair share of fun, come up with a few too many "good" ideas, spent time away from each other during college, matured (I think) and never lost contact throughout all of these years. We've been inseparable and I'm grateful for it, he's the third brother in the Sottolano family.
Bridesmaid
Our parents always would add another plate to the dinner table, anticipating one of us would be joining their family dinner growing up. The sister I always wished I had.
Groomsman
Ryan and I met very early on at Roanoke College. We had very much in common, spending plenty of time being "productive" and sharing many great experiences together. I'm lucky to have Ryan on the East Coast so we can see each other as often as our schedules allow it. Whether we're chatting on the phone for an hour or having fun in person, we've built a bond that I'm lucky to say will last a lifetime.
Bridesmaid
From roaming the streets to NYC to playing with little Rumi in a playpen, we've gone through many stages of life together and our friendship has remained just as strong as it was from 21 to 32 :)
Groomsman
Connor and I met very early on during our time spent at Roanoke College. We may not have hit it off right away, but since graduating, Connor and I have taken the time to create a friendship that I am happy to say will last a lifetime. I look forward to the many more life experiences we can share together as we age gracefully.
Bridesmaid
We were too often mistaken for one another after college that we referred to ourselves as "twinsters," but beyond the physical similarities, realized we had a lot in common and have remained good friends/sisters since.
Groomsman
We became very close during my "extended stay" at Roanoke College and we haven't looked back since. We have seen quite a bit of this country on our many memorable road trips, staying connected regardless, of the distance between us. Looking forward to having this guy around forever.
Bridesmaid
We will always be each other's work wife, even when we get to retire. Many work friendships fade away after you lose the day-to-day gossip of mutual coworkers, but Rachel will always be someone to share with even outside of the office.
Flower Girl
Becky's favorite niece will be strutting down the aisle.
Ring Bearer
Even though he might steal the show, it wouldn't be our wedding without our fur baby.
