Wedding Party
Katherine Kliewer
Maid of Honor
Katherine and Nicole met in Atlanta back in 2012 and have been neighbors ever since. They both moved to New York and then, about seven years later, moved back to Atlanta. They've bonded over amassing a collection of plants and the #6 spicy chicken sandwich at Wendy's. They spent frigid evenings indoors watching bad television and in the dead of winter in 2014 they took a bus out to Queens to go to a Chili's.
Rob LeBer
Best Man
Rob was Jeff's roommate for most of their college years in Athens, GA. They met because they were the only two people on UGA's roommate matching service to list The Velvet Underground among their favorite bands. They became friends quickly, and have been like two peas in a pod ever since.
Lisa Highfill
Bridesmaid
Lisa and Nicole met in middle school and became fast friends. They formed a "band" with Beth in high school and spent summers at each others houses. They lived together in Atlanta and found a love of peanut butter banana pudding. Being the visionaries that they are, they created an HGTV House Hunters™ drinking game that is still a sensation today.
Sam Harrison
Groomsman
Sam and Jeff have been best friends since kindergarten. They grew up in each other’s houses, played in bands together, and have loved each other like brothers for decades.
Beth Cunningham
Bridesmaid
Beth and Nicole also met in middle school when they lived just down the street from each other. They bonded over music and cult movies. Beth, Lisa, and Nicole were inseparable through high school, when they all got the same (bad) hair cut and passed the time box-dying their hair and disappointing their parents.
Dan Gold
Groomsman
Dan and Jeff met in after school programs at the end of elementary school. They've played music together in more bands than either can remember, and walked thousands of miles together, rambling at each other, through the streets of NY.
Haley Dodd
Bridesmaid
Haley and Nicole were roommates through their time at UGA. They brought home two shelter cats (Amelia and Nora) and a dog (Willow) to a rental house that didn't allow pets. They didn't get their security deposit back. On warm Athens nights they had their friends over to grill out in the backyard. They watched a lot of Gilmore Girls and regularly fell asleep on the couch they brought up from Atlanta strapped to the top of Marshall's station wagon driving 40mph down 85.
Marshall Yarbrough
Groomsman
Marshall and Jeff met on the first day of college at UGA, when Jeff found Marshall hanging around in his dorm room with Rob. They became good friends, bandmates, and briefly roommates in Brooklyn. Marshall, Nicole, and Haley were also roommates in Athens.
Mike Thompson
Officiant
Mike was friends with both Jeff and Nicole before they got together. Mike and Sara, his wife, were Jeff and Nicole’s New York family, sharing countless dinners together in the neighborhood they all lived in. Mike is a talented artist, a tasteful cook, and one of the best dudes you’ll ever meet. Nicole and Jeff are honored to have him officiate their ceremony.
