Megan & Danny
Wedding Party
Rachel Conner
Best Woman
Met at summer camp at age 10 and still best friends hundreds of slumber parties later. Don't mess with Megan, because you'll have to go thorough Rachel first. Responsible for giving Danny the nickname "Zuks", as in Danny Zuko.
Andrew Birkhead
Best Man
Danny met Andrew when he was born. After scratching Andrew's face as a tot, and constantly blaming everything on his older brother "doo doo," Danny learned to follow in some footsteps. NYC post-college, NOLA for medical school – they obviously have nothing in common.
Brittney Wilkinson
Best Woman
Basically Megan's sister. Grew up together in Carver, MA, took their partnership to the field hockey field and now, they mostly bond over their obsession with their dog children and their hilarious grandparents. Proof that opposites attract.
Emily Ross
Bridesmaid
Emily is Danny's thoughtful, fun and always amusing older sister. An influence on his fashion sense from an early age, Emily often used to dress Danny up in make-up – which may explain his love of Mardi Gras glitter. Needless to say, Megan is PRETTY excited to have such a hilarious and crafty sister-in-law!
Lauren Gill
Bridesmaid
Since their first work trip to New Orleans together back in 2013, Lauren and Megan have been 100% co-dependent. Thanks to a shared love of late-night dance parties, Trader Joe's veggie dumplings and putting bros in their place, they've been inseparable ever since.
John Barbadoro
Groomsman
After meeting on a trip canoeing on Flagstaff Lake and hiking Mt. Bigelow in Maine the week before starting freshmen year at Bates, John quickly became Danny's first college friend. They were a dynamic duo, hosting "What da Funk" on WRBC at 2-4 am Wednesday Morning, taking part in EMS, and founding the first ever Bates Curling Club!
Elisabeth Tarullo
Bridesmaid
Since the first glass of rosé in 2012, Liz has been Megan's rock and ray of sunshine. The two met while working together at Venture for America then fell in love while living a few blocks away from each other in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. They share a love of deep conversations and planning way too far in advance.
Ben Breger
Groomsman
Ben was another instrumental figure in House–Vale, living directly above Danny senior year at Bates. They both had the luxury of going on Birthright to Israel in the summer of 2017, where they floated in the Dead Sea and somehow survived 110-degree heat.
Lea Elberger
Bridesmaid
Though they first met on the day Lea interviewed at Venture for America on 2013, their friendship quickly took a turn from desk neighbors to NYC partners in crime to lifelong friends. She's given Megan so much advice, she should be charging per hour.
Ben McCormack
Groomsman
Ben and Danny met when they auditioned and began their journey through Bates A-Cappella. The summer before Danny went to Tulane, he convinced Ben to join him and Megan to backpack across South America, enduring 36 hour bus rides and 11,000ft elevations.
Vicky Kilburne
Bridesmaid
Best friends since 7th grade when they lived a half mile apart, Vicky and Megan spent their teens listening to Eminem, shopping at American Eagle and watching "Chicago" on repeat. Their love for sharing and over-analyzing every little detail of their lives with one another has never ceased.
Jane Mayer
Groomswoman
Jane and Danny were both Neuroscience Majors at Bates, then continued their friendship in NYC. She taught him all about the commute through Grand Central and showed him where to find the best burgers in Manhattan. Jane was dragged to her first Mardi Gras in 2018 unknowingly, but not unwillingly.
Kristen McCarthy
Bridesmaid
Megan and Kristen have been confusing people with their sarcasm for almost two decades. Often found laughing uncontrollably for unexplained reasons, they also share many other important interests, like wine, Boston sports, wine and wine.
Collin McCullough
Groomsman
Another gem of the Knights of Vale, Danny and Collin lived together senior year at Bates. Their friendship blossomed as the two most annoying kids in the house, with their passion for making sure everyone always had a good time. They have a freakishly similar taste in music (you were right).
Chrissy Stevens
Bridesmaid
Since Megan decided they were going to be friends in computer class in 9th grade, Chrissy and Megan grew from Dance Dance Revolution aficionados in high school to the music festival queens of NYC. Chrissy is the third member of the "tripod" – a nickname she came up with in the early days of Megan and Danny's relationship when the three of them often spent their evenings finding trouble in the East Village.
Jack Halligan
Groomsman
Danny met Jack in NYC at a mixer for new Tulane students, and quickly set his sights on snagging him as a roommate. After a wonderful first date and roommate proposal, the two spent their first year of med school becoming BFFLs. Jack has remained an instrumental side-kick, fellow Pediatrician buddy and #1 uncle to Rue.
Julie Holl
Bridesmaid
They met freshman year at College of Charleston, but it was one particularly hazy night their senior year – when they decided they were going to move to NYC together – that sealed their fate. Julie and Megan spent their early 20's getting mistaken for twins, sharing unbelievably tiny apartments and eating nachos.
Kaetan Vyas
Groomsman
Kaetan and Danny communicate on a different level. So much so, that no one else in the conversation has any clue what they're talking about, especially Megan. They love to bicker over their cooking experiences together in the home or at the Tulane Teaching Kitchen.
Amanda Smith
Bridesmaid
After realizing a week into college they were the only two sane people in their suite of eight, Megan and Amanda quickly became attached at the hip. From eating Pita Pit, to Gin Buckets on Edisto Island to a New Year's Eve trip to Austin to ring in 2019, there's no shortage of laughs and general weirdness when these two get together.
James Flotken
Groomsman
Danny and Megan have perpetually chosen Jimmy as their Go-To Neighbor, barging into his home on Saturday morning walks with Rue in the Lower Garden District and in Mid-City. Another Teaching Kitchen compadre, Jimmy and Danny would frequently "peel a potato, taste a tomato".
