Michael Geen
Best Man
Mike and Kyle met in kindergarten and have been best friends since….mostly due to our taste in sweatsuits. After his failed attempt at starring in Broadway musicals, Mike is now an accountant in Rochester, New York and is married to his phenomenal wife Lauren with their beautiful twin girls Natalie and Georgia. When not on tour with Dave Matthew's Band or with his girls, you're most likely to see the sign "Gone Fishing" on Mike's door. He’s the most genuine person you can meet, but don’t bring up the Buffalo Bills if you’re in a rush!

Jenette will share the title of matron of honor with Amanda. She is the second daughter (middle child) of the North girls. She works as a recruiter at Stripe. Other than work she lives in Washington State with her two daughters, one son, and a husband.

He is a vascular surgeon in Cleveland, Ohio and is married to his delightful wife Irene with their incredible daughter Anna. When not busy giving trumpet lessons to Chris Botti or performing 14 hour surgeries, Sean hones in on his short game in anticipation of his LIV golf debut in 2023.
Kitty Cohen
Bridesmaid
Kitty and the bride met while flying a trip with Alaska Airlines out of San Diego. Within a few days they hung out going to lunch and having a blast of a time, I am pretty sure that night ended with dancing like many of the nights. Later they became roommates along with Sarah (another bridesmaid).
