Sarah & Zachary
Wedding Party
Meredith Mann
Maid of Honor
After going to the same college and being in the same sorority for four years, Mer and I finally became close in grad school (and have been inseparable ever since!)
Jordan Rothstein
Best Man
We've come a long way from Jordan flinging hockey pucks at my unprotected face as a child. The #1 Rothstein son.
Taylor Fox
Bridesmaid
Despite a rocky start (I promise I did want to pomp with you, Tay!) we became friends our freshman year at Mizzou after joining the same sorority and were roommates throughout college. We've traveled everywhere together - from Europe, to Asia, even to South America.
Scott Sebert
Groomsman
One of the other Texans in my life, another southern transplant to the north. Scott has never met a stranger in his entire life.
Poonam Benakatti
Bridesmaid
The only person who can make me (and everyone around her) cry from laughter. After meeting in third grade, I knew there was no way I would ever let Poonam go. Probably the only two people to ever leave a classical concert because the violinist's breathing was hilarious.
Ari Weinstein
Groomsman
Somehow after all of these years - whether at the AEPi fraternity house, in our house on East Campus, or here in Chicago - for some reason Ari still is okay being my friend. Even if its been five months since I've last seen Ari, every time we sit down to have a beer it feels like its only been five minutes.
Kaitlin Lagow
Bridesmaid
More a sister than friend. Mostly because we met at age three and lived approximately 100 feet away from each other growing up.... but you get the picture. Kaitlin will always be Rich's "second daughter."
Jeremy Friedman
Groomsman
Jeremy is always pushing me to be my best self. As a fellow Taurus, Jeremy and I can often be found being a little bit extra and treating ourselves.
Arielle Towsley
Bridesmaid
We like to say we've made the "transition" from sorority Big and Little to just best friends. It's not four years, it's for life!!
Brandon Fleites
Groomsman
I met Brandon in high school when our lockers were right across the hall from each other. We became fast friends, making our way from workouts at Lifetime to late nights at friend's houses. Even to this day, we still find ways to get ourselves into trouble.
Laura Robicheaux
Bridesmaid
We've been friends since early elementary school and I'm proud to count Laura as the other founding member of the Neopets, Club Penguin, and Fuse iced tea fan club.
Paul Perrizo
Groomsman
Paul and I met at CDW, but as I always tell him - "he's not my CDW friend, he's just my friend." For knowing each other for only four years it seems like Paul and I have created a lifetime of memories together already.
Kelli Goodman
Bridesmaid
The same Limited Too purse in sixth grade brought us together, Swedish bootleg DVDs of Friends and DDR kept us together. Kelli wins most dedicated friend award after attending every single one of mine, Jamie's and Laura's middle school cheerleading appearances because she thought we wouldn't be her friend if she missed any.
Ben Rosselet
Groomsman
Ben is my future BIL, fellow whiskey fanatic, and frequent guest on Sarah and I's couch in Chicago. Always excited to grab a Chicago 'dawg' with this guy.
Jamie Denison
Bridesmaid
Another member of the "we've been friends for almost 20 years" club, Jamie is the only reason I survived any extracurricular activities in middle and high school. What happens at band camp... is memorialized by printed photos under Jamie's bed.
Josh Rosselet
Groomsman
Josh is my future BIL and the coolest Rosselet... well I guess the coolest Rothelet?
Sadie Rothstein
Bridesmaid
Sadie is my future SIL and amazing Mexico City travel partner!
Paul Kessler
Usher
The Original Tall Paul. One of my first my friends at Mizzou, if it wasn't for Sarah there is no way we would have passed Intro to Mythology. Always lobbying for him to move to Chicago.
Kendall Demarest
Officiant
You know the stories of twins separated at birth, who grow up independently to become the same person? That's Kendall and I. We've been friends since middle school but have somehow developed into adult twins living on opposite sides of the country.
Sam Hardiman
Usher
Sam once called me a blueberry, which for some reason was the most offensive thing someone has ever called me. Sam never ceases to surprise me by showing off a new talent or accomplishment. I look back on our times on East Campus as some of my fondest memories (even if some of them were filled with rage, like when you left a pot in the sink for six months.)
Gabby Tarbert
Flower Girl
Gabby and I bonded over the shared experience of client service and coming to work before the sun rises and leaving after the sun sets. Work wife, meet adult flower girl.
Alex Walanka
Usher
Some call him with Willy, others call him Wayne. I just call him my friend.
Katelyn Van West
Flower Girl
Even though we were at the same school and in the same sorority, KV and I didn't become close until moving to Chicago after college. (After I almost literally ran into her jogging on the street one day). Proud to be responsible for the world's coolest nickname.
Seth Wiesman
Usher
I love watching Seth travel the world and am glad I can catch him when I can. I love checking out a cool new spot or an old favorite with Seth.
Fiona Rothstein
Ring Bearer
Let's be honest... the real star of the show here. It's Fiona's world, we're all just living in it.
Joey Bricker
Usher
JB is the newest addition to the Chicago crew and I couldn't be happier that he is here. Joey is the ultimate prankster, an amazing friend and Fiona's #1 fan.
