Groom
This is Paul.
Bride
This is Becca. Her family calls her Becky. This may be confusing, but we are the same person.
Best Man
This is Ryan. He is Paul's son. We like him well enough.
Maid of Honor
Becca's best friend since they were 4 years old. Ryan's Auntie Damaris.
Groomsman
This is Uncle Phil. He is Paul's brother. He's the nicest person you'll ever meet.
Bridesmaid
Bianca and Becca met surfing in the ocean and their friendship has been as strong as the moon and the tides.
Groomsman
Sunit is from Michigan and is still a groomsman. That's how you know Ohioan Paul thinks THAT highly of him.
Bridesmaid
Brigid has been in Paul and Ryan's life for much longer than Becca's, but when Brigid came into Becca's life, it felt like they'd known each other forever. It may also be good to know that Brigid is Susu's mom.
Groomsman
John met Becca at a hiking meetup and was her first real meetup friend. Fast forward 10 years, their friendship has grown and expanded to incorporate Paul. John is great at pretty much everything, so if you need someone to weigh in on any topic whatsoever, John knows best. And if he doesn't, his partner Heather definitely does.
Bridesmaid
Becca met Gibson's friend Maxx at a wedding, and he made Becca promise to go on a friend date with Gibson. They went to a yoga class together and got coffee for an additional 4 hours. It's been that easy ever since. Shoutout to Gibson's dog, Wolfie, who would have been Paul's Best man if travel had allowed (sorry Ryan).
Groomsman
Matt is a fellow Midwesterner, which may be why he and Paul hold such a special bond. A bond as strong as chaco sandal straps.
Bridesmaid
Meagan and Becca have been friends for nearly a decade. They met at a hiking meetup where we were informed that people need 7 seconds of meaningful touch to be happy. Without knowing each other, they immediately put this information to the test. It worked! Because they've been close friends ever since.
Officiant
Jon is Becca's brother. He is also a walking wikipedia. He would be your phone-a-friend if Who Wants to Be a Millionaire was still a thing.
Bridesmaid
Becca and Maureen have been best friends since middle school. Fun fact, Maureen's left eyebrow raises when she lies because once Becca **accidentally** rolled her off a picnic table and she bounced and fell directly on her forehead. Laughter turned to horror as we watched the bump grow to the size of a baseball.
Father of the Groom
Michael is Paul, Phil, and Emily's dad. Surprise fact - he has several miniature horses on his farm in Ohio! AND Paul's love of Jeeps is a family tradition passed down by Michael.
Mother of the Bride
Susan is Becca and Jon's mom. She's great. She made this wedding happen. Be sure to thank her.
Mother of the Groom
Lisa is Paul, Phil and Emily's stepmom. Lisa loves her boxer dog Cannoli. Ask her how she gives 'Noli treats.
Father of the Bride
Mike is Becca and Jon's dad. If you are in the mood for a lively conversation, ask Mike what his favorite type of tomato is, or what birds he has seen in the area. If you want a passionate rant, tell him you're thinking of asking your doctor to prescribe you antibiotics for your cold.
Flower Child
Susu is family first, and Ryan's best friend second. Well, technically it's the other way around, but she has a key to our house and sometimes comes over and leaves us notes when we aren't home.
