Wedding Party
Brigit Benestante
Maid of Honor
Ashley and Brigit napped next to each other in high school calculus, went to 6th Street instead of studying for UT calculus, and now Ashley enjoys visiting Brigit in Baltimore and playing Blokus.
Reid Hopkins
Best Man
Reid and Nick have been friends since elementary school. Highlights include playing on the student vs teacher basketball team (both made the team on a technicality) and winning the Best Friends superlative at Lamar high school (2nd place for cutest couple). Reid is currently serving in the navy as a JAG.
Caitlin Harris
Bridesmaid
Nick's older sister has been keeping him in line since she was three. She has asked multiple times if Nick could be traded for Ashley as a family member, so she is in favor of this wedding. Caitlin lives in Houston.
Andrew Kirkpatrick
Groomsman
Andrew and Nick were more or less born next to each other, as they were next door neighbors for the first of their lives. They have spent so much time together, that even Nick's current couch has a dent where Andrew slept. Nick has been in his wedding, so now it is Andrew's turn.
Anna Roberson
Bridesmaid
Anna and Ashley met in law school at UT where they emotionally support each other through yoga, cooking, and wine nights. Anna is from North Carolina
Josh Henderson
Groomsman
Josh and Nick met at Samsung when Josh was Nick's trainee, meaning he was probably bad at his job. They drink a lot of tea and play Dungeons and Dragons together in Austin.
Hailey Pulman
Bridesmaid
Hailey and Ashley met in law school working on a civil rights case together. Since then, their friendship has chilled out to watching Grey's Anatomy and listening to Supreme Court oral arguments with margaritas. Hailey is from San Antonio.
Noah Morrison
Groomsman
Noah and Nick have known each other since middle school. After a lot of years of debate and night basketball, they eventually lived together in a very nice and clean house during college. Noah currently lives in his bus, which might still be parked in Miami when you read this.
Michael Portal
Bridesman
Michael was Ashley's first friend when she moved to Houston in middle school. They were later high school debate partners. Michael is a philosopher at A&M University
Stephen Armstrong
Groomsman
Stephen and Nick have known each other since elementary school, including a 5th grade birthday party with unsafe transportation and rides in the loser cruiser (thanks Todd). Stephen, Nick and Noah all lived together in their very nice and clean home in college. Stephen is currently working on his PhD at Caltech.
Tim Meyer
Bridesman
Tim and Ashley met at UT where they were local political junkies and terrible dancers. Tim is from Chicago and will soon be moving to San Antonio with his girlfriend Maggie and their dog Alice.
Wes Barbee
Groomsman
Nick and Wes have been friends for too long (hence the photo of children). He has been around for most major parts of Nick's life and was definitely around for the only time the police called Nick's mom. Wes currently lives in Houston with a great roommate and very cute dog.
