Sibling of Honor
Javi is Natalia’s only sibling and one of her closest friends. They share a passion for traveling, learning new things, cats, and consistently aiming (and often failing) to beat Joe at Mario Party.
Best Man
Santi is one of Joe’s best and oldest friends. Joe is excited to have Santi stand beside him as his best man.
Bridesmaid
Lauren is Natalia’s soul sister and confidante. Natalia does not go a single day without talking to Lauren, and she can’t imagine her wedding (or any other part of her life) without her. Natalia and Lauren were partnered in 2015 to be advisors for the 8th grade class that they named Dartmouth after Natalia’s alma mater. They’ve been best friends ever since.
Groomsman
Omar is one of Joe's oldest friends. Joe can't wait to share this day with Omar.
Bridesmaid
Tanya is one of Natalia’s most honest and kindest friends. Tanya and Natalia became friends after starting their Master’s program at the same time and discovering how fun it was to hang out with each other.
Groomsman
Evan is one of Joe’s best friends from college, and Joe was the best man at Evan’s wedding. Joe is excited to have Evan stand beside him on this important day.
Bridesmaid
Hilary and Natalia met during Hilary’s year in NYC. They clicked immediately and booked a trip to Ireland, where they drove across the country and had the best time. Since then, Hilary and Natalia stay in touch constantly, and Hilary brought Natalia down to Tennessee for the summer, and they continued to be close friends. Hilary is one of Natalia’s biggest supporters and she can’t imagine her day without Hilary.
Groomsman
Joe and Kelvin have bonded over their mutual love of Pokémon, and quickly became friends. Joe is excited to share this day with Kelvin.
Bridesmaid
Torrey is one of Natalia’s closest friends from Dartmouth, after meeting during their sophomore year through Kappa Delta. Despite many years of long distance friendship, with Torrey in San Francisco and Natalia in New York, they have managed to stay in touch and visit each other, and they never go too long without speaking. Torrey knew Joe was the one for Natalia the very first time she met him.
Groomsman
Kartik and Joe met at Northeastern when they were wearing the same sweatshirt in a class, and they’ve been friends since.
Bridesmaid
Adriana and Natalia met during Dartmouth orientation week and have been friends ever since. They have traveled together all over the place, from freezing Boston in winter to sunny Buenos Aires. Adriana is one of Natalia's dearest friends and she can't wait to have her by her side on her wedding day.
Groomsman
J and Joe met at a conference in high school and have been friends ever since. J helped Joe with the proposal, and was the first person to find out they were engaged. Joe is excited to have J stand beside him on this important day.
Bridesmaid
Angela and Natalia met serendipitously during a tour of Baker-Berry Library at Dartmouth college during the first day of orientation. They went to Lou's for lunch afterwards (along with Adriana, Angela's roommate) and they've been friends ever since. Angela's was the first wedding Natalia ever attended, and can't wait to share her own wedding day with her.
Groomsman
Jeffrey is one of Joe's closest friends from Northeastern.
Officiant
Bizu is Natalia’s calmer, more rational other half. Bizu and Natalia met at Ocean Hill Collegiate, when Bizu joined the SpEd team. They immediately clicked after finding out they were nearly the same age, they had both done International Baccalaureate in high school, and they had both been to the same Dartmouth summer program in 2008 (though the allure of being in the middle of the forest for four years did not draw Bizu in as it did Natalia). It was a no brainer for Natalia and Joe to have Bizu officiate their wedding.
Greeters
Still figuring out whether two years is long enough to train cats to stand still during the ceremony (so far it seems unlikely).
