Maid of Honor
The bestie before the restie. Emily has been friends with Margaux longer than she has been friends with her own brothers. Margaux holds the original P.I.C. title. Best friend, entrepreneur, real estate mogul, catalyst for good times, and voted "class clown" by Episcopal Academy 2003 graduating class. Ask her about meeting Danny Devito, driving cross country, or how many games our lacrosse team lost over the course of our high school career (hint: it's zero).
Best Man
Karr McCurdy: father of the groom and best man at the wedding. Karr has been a role model, friend, and father for Taylor's whole life. Karr and Taylor, both Pisces, celebrate the same birthday each year. They also share a similar curiosity for the world (both culturally and geologically), the nostalgia for a crisp sheet of ice on the pond, an appreciation for the occasional cigar and whiskey, and the thrill of any adventure. Ask Karr about a family trip to Southern Africa, riding the midnight train to Machu Picchu, and scuba diving in Costa Rica.
