Rachel & Matthew
Wedding Party
Lindsey Kuhl
Maid of Honor
My sister by fate, my best friend by choice. Growing up Lindsey used to watch me build my dream life on Sims, now she will stand by my side to watch me build my dream life in reality.
Aimee Dweck
Bridesmaid
Aimee and I have been friends since middle school. We can go from crying to laughing in the course of one sentence. Aimee will most likely be the first one crying during the ceremony!
Patricia Hubbard
Bridesmaid
Patricia and I met when I was about 5 years old. Without my knowledge, my mom had invited her over to play one summer day. She and Liz walked into my backyard and I ran inside screaming about strangers. We have been friends ever since.
Elizabeth Hubbard
Bridesmaid
Friends since I was 5 years old, Patricia, Liz, Lindsey, and I will turn any simple card game into a screaming match (all in good fun of course)! To our parents' disappointment we were never very good at the Quiet Game!
Hayley Cohen
Bridesmaid
Hayley and I have been friends since middle school where we met through cross country. Hayley and I were always the two laughing hysterically even in the middle of a 6 mile run! Hayley and Adrianna dared me to use the polar bear pick up line on Matt at the Manhattan Invitational!
Adrianna Bjelke
Bridesmaid
Some of my favorite memories with Adrianna are of us caroling during our long runs in the winter. What better way to survive a long run in 30 degree weather than with a few Christmas Carols? Adrianna and Hayley dared me to use the polar bear pick up line on Matt at the Manhattan Invitational!
Kristine Engberg
Bridesmaid
I basically lived at Kristine's house throughout high school! We watched endless chick flicks together, exploded bottles of grape soda, and lived off of animal crackers!
Kristin Giordano
Bridesmaid
Friends since before I can remember, Kristin has always been there for me. Whether it was getting into trouble for getting our dresses dirty before church services, driving her dad crazy with our shenanigans during confirmation class, or jumping into fountains, Kristin and I always know how to have some fun!
Allie Perlman
Bridesmaid
Allie and I have been friends since freshman year of college and she continues to be one of my closest friends. Allie actually played a crucial role the night I met Matt by being my wing-girl. Without knowing I was interested, Allie made sure to talk me up to Matt and point out all of our similar interests, and the rest is history.
Molly Law
Bridesmaid
Molly has been one of my closest friends ever since she walked up to me in class freshman year and asked to call me "Rach." (This was a big deal since I'd never really had a nickname before.) We share a common love for Taylor Swift, so I am sure you will find us singing our heads off on the dance floor when the DJ plays some TSwift at the wedding.
Chris Johnson
Best Man
As I was the youngest and Chris was the oldest he put up with everything I could throw at him. I was the quintessential youngest and pestered a lot. We are still close and try to get a hike in together at least once a year.
Jamie Johnson
Best Man
Jamie constantly shows me that there is more fun to be had. I am forever jealous of his adventures and try to partake as often as possible.
Jesse Garn
Groomsman
Despite being friends with just about everyone, Jesse still manages to feel like a close friend to most. Throughout our running and living together in college we were always able to stay close.
Collin Frost
Groomsman
After living, running and eating together for four years you end up getting to know someone pretty well. Collin was always a supportive friend, willing to help at any time. And always ready to yell something back at a driver commenting on our short running shorts
Andrew Roache
Groomsman
My oldest friend in spirit, he is always ready to support your most bitter thoughts even though he somehow looks younger now than he did in high school. Roache has always been there for a good run or a crazy hike.
Vasili Papastrat
Groomsman
Whatever he chooses in his life Vasili is fully dedicated to it. I was lucky to fall within one of his dedications. We will still be friends even when he lifts too much to fit through doorways straight
Chris Fernandez
Groomsman
As co-captains and housemates Chris and I complemented each other well. He taught me the school/running balance successfully. We could approach the same situation in different ways but were always looking for the same result
Jeff Martinez
Groomsman
One of the toughest competitors I know I always looked up to Jeff on the team. I used his old textbooks passed down through many years of runners and I tried to keep up with him when he blew past me at the end of a race.
Jason Santos
Groomsman
It took me a full year to understand just how funny Jason is due to his understated humor. A close friend from college and beyond he and I shared a very similar consistent running style. It was easy to become friends with someone as genuine as Santos and has remained one of my closest over the years since.
