Bridesmaid
Ellen and I met while we were students at DePaul. We bonded over a few too many bottles of wine that started as a drink between classes. We eventually changed our schedules to make sure we had as many classes together as possible and continued our wine dates well past our college days. A few things I love about Ellen: she is the most judge free person I know, she is always a blast to hang out with and is sure to make you laugh. Ask Ellen about her uncle who is a Cardinal of the Catholic Church, Michigan and how she got a shamrock tattoo.
Bridesmaid
Sam and I met while both working at Nordstrom. We've been coworkers, roommates and "wingmen" through out our friendship. Samantha is my second favorite person to run errands with (my mom being number one). She takes Target to the next level and NEVER turns down a drive thru or pop up carnival ( we do not suggest combining drive thrus and carnivals). Other than being a great shopping partner I love that Sam always gives it to me straight, builds me up and is my voice of reason. Ask her about California, traveling abroad or her leather pants (RIP).
Bridesmaid
Rachel and I met while working at Insight Global. She has always been one of my biggest cheerleaders professionally and is my go to girl for work advice. She is the life of the party, in the last few years she single handly made Iowa a party city! She loves Nordstrom more than I do and has more bathing suits than any one I know. Ask Rachel about Iowa football, her wedding or my induction as an unofficial Theta.
Bridesmaid
Kelsey and I moved to Chicago the same week and met within a few days of becoming Chicago residents. We bonded over our less than ideal living situations and the brutality of Chicago your first year (parking tickets, transportation, the weather). Her quick wit, passion for Beyonce and dry humor are a few things things that I love about Kelsey. She loves her cat Cricket, her frenchie Louise and her husband Tim White. Ask her about the Obamas, babies and cooking!
Best Man
The chances of Josh filling this out are slim so... Jeremy is Josh's brother and my soon to be BROTHER IN LAW! I could not have lucked out more with him. He always has the room in fits of laughter or entranced with his guitar skills. I don't want to say anything that Jeremy might be including in his best man speech but Jeremy had strong feelings about Josh and I's budding romance and had a nickname for me.... Ask him about my nickname, music, enchiladas or for any of his childhood stories.
Groomsman
The chances of Josh filling this out are slim so... Ben and Josh lived together in college and carried their friendship on past college. Ben recently married his wonderful wife, Claudia, in a beautiful Colombian wedding. We were so lucky to experience the country and be a part of their big day :) Ask Ben about running, beer and his travels abroad.
Groomsman
The chances of Josh filling this out are slim so... Terry and Josh are childhood friends and Terry was Josh's first friend I met. Our third date at Parson's and Josh ran into Terry on the street before I got there. When I arrived Josh and Terry tried to tell me Terry was Josh's brother and he was joining us for dinner. They came clean pretty quickly that they were not brothers and Terry ended up having dinner with us. Best third date ever! Ask Terry about photography, cars or his brother and the 2020 Olympics.
Groomsman
The chances of Josh filling this out are slim so... Andrew and Josh met in Madison, WI while they were working for Epic. They had a quick bromance and moved into together rather quickly. The days in Madison were filled with Andrew's husky wrecking havoc on their apartment, long work weeks at Epic with intense travel schedules and longer ragers trying to forget they lived in Madison and worked for Epic. Ask Andrew about Omaha, Denver, Burning Man or his upcoming wedding!
Groomsman
The chances of Josh filling this out are slim so... Ross and Josh are also childhood friends. They lived right down the street from one another and their families were very close. I can only imagine the chaos that ensued when they all came together... 5 boys, 2 men and 2 women. Ross recently moved to Denver and adopted a beautiful shepherd mix, Ada. Ask Ross about Denver, motorcycles or Ada!
Groomsman
The chances of Josh filling this out are slim so... Jacob and Josh are also childhood friends. Two fun facts: Jacob and I work in the same building and if you strike up a conversation with him a few drinks deep he will say the nicest things about you ever. Even if he just met you. It's a beautiful thing. Ok a few more fun facts, Jacob recently got married and was/is in a band with Jeremy. Ask him about the band, beers and/or SOCCER.
Groomsman
The chances of Josh filling this out are slim so... Danny is my oldest and dearest brother. Danny took me as his plus one on his work trip to Iceland a few years ago. Josh and I bonded over that trip on our first date because... Andrew took Josh as his plus one for the same trip (two weeks later). Danny and Andrew worked for the same company that hosted these international trips. Danny recently got married giving our family our first "in law" - welcome to the family Sara! Ask Danny about skiing, being a dog dad or his wedding!
Groomsman
The chances of Josh filling this out are slim so... Kevin is my younger and dearest brother. Kevin immediately liked Josh and claims that he was more excited over our engagement than anyone else in the family (including me). Kevin is a furniture designer and we can't wait for him to help make our future place a "home" with his personal furniture designs. Ask Kevin about Denver, hiking and furniture!
Groomsman
The chances of Josh filling this out are slim so... Kevin and Josh met in college and lived together for 3 years? They were such good roommates that Kevin and Josh will be rooming together the night before Kevin's wedding this upcoming spring #bromance. We were fortunate to spend a lot of time with Kevin and his wife, Francesca, while in Columbia for Ben and Claudia's wedding. Ask Kevin about commodity trading, his wedding and what it's like marrying into a big Italian family.
