The Starting Lineup
Megan Speth
Matron of Honor
My big sister, despite the lack of any physical resemblance to one another. "The compassionate daughter," according to our Dad. Best gift she ever gave me: my two PERFECT nephews (& the hand painted beer pong table circa 2008).
Matt Wimmer
Best Man
The big brother that every little brother dreamed of. The one that has put up with my shenanigans for 31+ years and still does to this day. He has taught me every hobby I have ever picked up and as much as I run my mouth, was usually better at them than me.
Chandler Gilmore
Maid of Honor
The funniest person I know, & a real life NYC gal. President of the Post Malone fan club (in addition to the avocado fan club, the pulled pork fan club, and the Millie fan club). Our first conversation was our sophomore year of college, we talked about my pet chicken Lucy & she still wanted to be friends, concerning & sweet at the same time.
Jon Laaser
Groomsman
Most know him as the voice of our beloved Hokies, but to me he is one of the guys that welcomed me with open arms and an open bar seat at PK's. There are very few Blacksburg stories I can tell that don't include him.( Most of which can't be shared in public)
Caitlyn Russ
Bridesmaid
A friend since birth & my former twin (until she stopped growing at 5'0 and I still went for 7 more inches). All-knowing in all 757 gossip despite living across an actual ocean. Personal space does not exist in her world.
Brian Goddard
Groomsman
College teammate with the best changeup since Greg Maddux. CEO of our beloved lake week, Poplar Grove Wine Festival, and pretty much any good time since 2007. Purveyor of any RBV seen in the group since graduation.
Katie Lawler
Bridesmaid
Another OG friend, we built our friendship on years of dance, swimming & field hockey together (& most importantly... her cleaning my room...). She will undoubtedly have the best moves on the dance floor. She holds the Forbes' household record for pancakes eaten in a single sitting, a moment that Ed still speaks about.
Christian Frey
Groomsman
Met this guy when we were both still in high school. Our showcase baseball coach let us in on his little known secret, the hidden ball trick. Needless to say, the coach was completely undermined and people still tell stories about the friendship that blossomed that day. All a man needs is a Bud Light and Christian Frey.
Talene Pomfret
Bridesmaid
Everyone's favorite Armenian Princess. The sole reason my average # of TOTS visits per week was higher than my GPA fall semester of my senior year in college. A fellow hater of polos & khakis due to years of fashion abuse in the sports industry.
Ronnie Helmintoller
Groomsman
You know you have a good friend when every debaucherous story you go to tell, your fiance interrupts and says....let me guess, you were with RJ. From Nascar races to Myrtle Beach golf trips, we have done it all.
Shelby Gwinn
Bridesmaid
My Blacksburg partner in crime, work wife & swole-mate. People have thought we were a couple more than once (talk about a power couple). If you're looking for someone to win a hot dog eating contest for you- she's your girl.
Paul Torgersen
Groomsman
The guy whose shoes I had to fill when I came to Blacksburg and it didn't take long for me to realize why. The king of the 4-iron and fellow bourbon lover. Nobody else I'd rather share a room in the Dominican Republic with or be stuck in an Atlanta airport with until 12:15(A.M).
Meghan Dofflemyer
Bridesmaid
The girl with the best taste in fashion & picking her sorority little. A LEGEND at Seacrets in OCMD (& the reason we will go to Seacrets well past the acceptable age). The daughter Bev & Ed wish they could trade both of their real children in for.
Brian Fream
Groomsman
We met during our freshman year orientation and as they like to say, the rest is history. Was the guy who took me to my first Red Sox game and showed me what real football was during our trip to Heinz Field. Lowe's benefited greatly from our years of friendship and heated Madden rivalry.
Katie Fordney
Bridesmaid
A cat lover- which I try not to hold against her. All knowing when it comes to anything and everything pop culture- basically our own personal E-news. The sneakiest bad influence- she looks sweet but will have you nursing a terrible hangover in no time.
Kyle Scallion
Groomsman
The first roommate I ever had. Also answers to "the biggg guyyyyyy". The hefty lefty from the 'Burn whose affinity for Halloween ( and Werewolf In London) is without comparison. Can't count on one hundred hands the number of nights we pushed the noise limit in Racey playing Rock Band.
Shelby Hoefling
Bridesmaid
A real life Phoebe Buffay (if you don't know who that is- we may rescind your wedding invite). A budding Tik Tok star-in partnership with the most famous Grandmother on the internet, Nannie. Everyone's favorite Yogi/ Author/ Podcaster/ Life Coach- she does it all!
Derek Gwinn
Groomsman
When he and I first met, Shelby and Natalie said it was like they weren't even in the room. Another guy that made my transition to Blacksburg seamless. When you hear him sing Ave Maria, it is best described as a combination of Fergie and Jesus.
Aubrey Wimmer
Flower Girl
The best artist, singer, and future Rock Star Veterinarian an uncle could ask for. She gets her love of cats directly from her Mimi and her kindness....TBD
Colin Wimmer
Ring Bearer
The most recent addition to the long line of Wimmer boys. Reigning champion of the Crozet backyard trampoline wrestling league. #10 on tee ball field, #1 in your heart.
Cooper Speth
Ring Bearer
One of my two PERFECT nephews mentioned above. He prefers tee ball to soccer, and snacks to tee ball. Voted most likely to pee outside by his preschool class.
