Maid of Honor
Emily and Liz met as pre-teen orchestra nerds at Newtown Middle School. They've been inseparable ever since. When they aren't exchanging identical Christmas gifts or discussing which of the Founding Fathers is best (hint: it's not Thomas Jefferson!), you can find them drinking margaritas, eating Ina Garten's best recipes, and re-watching the 6-hour version of Pride & Prejudice.
Bridesmaid
Bria and Liz have known each other since the very first day of law school in 2013 and solidified their friendship over countless hours of cite checks and outlining in neighboring library carrels. Since then, they've traded Law Review for Christmastime in New York, museum visits in DC, and TLC marathons.
Bridesmaid
A fellow AU alum, Aileen has been a part of Liz and Will's lives since their mock trial days and even played a sneaky role in setting them up again in 2018. From Virginia Beach trips and Turkish festivals to virtual paint nights and cross-country visits, her friendship has withstood the test of time and many all-you-can-eat meals.
Bridesmaid
Caroline is Will's younger sister and Liz's future sister-in-law. Her and Liz have bonded over their shared love of coastal grandma vibes, classy cocktails, DC's brunch culture, and her pet nieces. Liz is very excited to be gaining a sister to exchange recipes and restaurant recommendations with!
Bridesmaid
Krishna and Liz were roommates in law school, but they knew they'd be friends for life when they discovered they both loved grocery shopping, competitive wine tasting parties, and cheese. They've watched a LOT of Netflix, traveled around the country, and sampled all the best French fries that Williamsburg, Virginia, has to offer.
Best Woman
Will first met Jackie at Modesto High water polo practice. They became fast friends when she threw him in the pool. Will and Jackie bonded over many shared adventures, from endless IB study sessions, to Sierra camping trips, and a certain cheese-related incident that cannot be published here.
Groomsman
Will and Kwab met soon after Will moved to Atlanta after college. They were part of the same hiking group and later became roommates in a sick apartment where Kwab established his mad scientist lab.
Groomsman
Will and Atul met in freshman year PE class at Modesto High. They frequently snuck off campus to get Taco Bell and became adept at dodging campus security on their way back. They have remained good friends over the years across multiple continents.
Groomsman
Kevin met Will on a hiking trip in Atlanta, GA. They became good friends and have done a great many hikes in the Appalachian mountains. After Kevin moved to DC, they were able to explore several local breweries together.
Groomsman
Will and Dan also met in PE during freshman year of high school. Will once loaned Dan $5 for lunch and is still charging usurious interest. Dan is being included in the wedding party so Will can ensure the debt is paid.
Flower Man
Mike is Liz's taller, younger brother and Will's future brother-in-law. The first time Will met him Mike was in middle school, but Will assumed he was in college and offered him a beer. (Mike declined.) He once very narrowly avoided being thrown off a mountain in South Africa by Liz. He takes his job as Flower Man very seriously.
Best Cat and Cat of Honor
Mindy and Maisie are Liz and Will's perfect cats and the heads of their household. When they aren't eating the finest aged meats and cheeses, they enjoy napping in sunny spots and being really, really cute.
