Man of Honor
Penelope met Michael in high school, but they didn’t become close until college when they lived in the same neighborhood and saw each other almost every day. Over the years, they’ve shared everything from OU-TX weekends and lake trips to big life milestones. He even played a key role in helping pull off the surprise proposal. Michael has always been a source of loyalty, humor, and support.
Best Man
John and Grant grew up next door to each other and have been close for as long as either of them can remember. From building snow forts and riding bikes around the neighborhood to navigating life milestones side by side, John has always been there. He’s the friend who shows up, no matter what, and brings both loyalty and a whole lot of sarcasm. Over the years, he’s become more like a brother than a friend.
Bridesmaid
Penelope met Zunaira during their master’s program, where they bonded over late-night study sessions and a shared shift away from pre-med life. Over the years, they’ve traded advice, life updates, and perfectly timed memes. It’s the kind of friendship that’s stayed strong through every chapter.
Groomsman
Conor and Grant became friends through high school cross-country and track, logging miles together and pushing each other to keep going. They still honor their tradition of running at 11:45 PM on Christmas Eve just to “run into” Christmas. Whether they’re catching up on a jog or reminiscing over old team stories, Conor is a friend Grant has always felt completely at home with.
Bridesmaid
Clair is Grant’s twin sister, and while she’s naturally quiet, her actions speak volumes. She was the first to make Penelope feel like part of the family — whether it was including her in family-only photos, offering a kind word at just the right time, or showing up without being asked. Clair has always led with quiet care and steady support, and those small moments have meant more than she probably realizes.
Groomsman
Abe and Grant have been friends since high school and are still part of the same tight-knit group today. During college, Grant would visit Abe in Milwaukee, where their friendship only grew — usually over Brady Street outings, couch debates, and late-night food runs. Abe brings a calm, steady vibe to any group and has always been a constant presence in Grant’s life.
Bridesmaid
Anna is Grant’s older sister and someone who brings warmth and openness into every space she’s in. She’s been a supportive constant in Grant’s life and welcomed Penelope with genuine kindness from the start. Whether it’s her thoughtful check-ins or effortless humor, Anna has a way of making people feel seen.
Groomsman
Grant met Jack through The Guardsmen in San Francisco, and their connection was immediate. Jack brings a thoughtful, grounded presence to every conversation and has a way of making people feel understood and at ease. It’s the kind of friendship that feels like it’s always been there — easy, genuine, and built on mutual respect and shared perspective.
Bridesmaid
Cait is Grant’s oldest sister and someone who brings curiosity, confidence, and a strong point of view to any conversation. She’s independent, sharp, and always true to herself. Over the years, she and Grant have shared plenty of laughs, family time, and meaningful back-and-forths that reflect their dynamic.
Groomsman
Addison is Penelope’s younger brother. Like most siblings, they’ve had their share of ups and downs, but through it all, Addison has been quietly dependable. He’s always there when it really counts and shows up in his own way.
Usher
Charlie and Grant were college roommates and later again in Chicago — a pairing that produced more than a few wild stories. Whether it was starting a podcast together or dragging each other through post-grad chaos, they’ve always had a way of finding humor in just about anything. Their friendship has been built on quick wit, deep loyalty, and a solid amount of ridiculous memories.
Usher
Tate and Grant have been friends since high school, known for making spontaneous plans that somehow always turn into full-blown adventures. From random weekend get-togethers to time spent at the farm, Tate’s the kind of friend who brings fun without effort and never turns down a plan. His presence has been a constant through every phase of life.
