Zachary & Carly
The Wedding Party!
Sean Sullivan
Best Man
Sean met Zack way back in the day on the playgrounds of Schroeder Elementary School in Troy, Michigan, and has regretted sharing his Z-BOTZ with him ever since. An avid embracer of life and the outdoors, there is rarely a summer that goes by where Sean and Zack aren't off on some adventure. Go-to guy for all hiking related misadventures and having a craft beer with. He's one of a kind. Also, did you know he has a kid?
Nicole Reed
Matron of Honor
Nicole and Carly met in second grade and immediately hit it off. Thanks in no small part to Nicole's kindness and patience, their friendship survived the drama of middle school and high school. She is truly the bride's best friend, as evidenced by the fact that she is one of the only people from high school with whom she still converses.
Cole Musial
Groomsman
Cole had the misfortune of being Zack's roommate during undergrad days at Capital University. Being both environmental science majors, we got up to much mischief back in the day. Collectively built a wildly successful vertical dance apparatus in our basement. Many a weekend spent together climbing and galivanting around downtown Columbus. Go-to friend for all things rock climbing and a good bargain.
Lindy Newman
Bridesmaid
Carly loves Lindy almost as much as Zack, because they are the same person. Lindy and Carly met in a freshman Environmental Science class in college, and both had the same reaction to meeting one another--this person is so cool, how can I be friends with them? Carly and Lindy quickly became inseparable, even living together for three years through college. The best road trip buddy, and one of the nicest people around. You'll love her too!
John Pritchard
Groomsman
Met this legend in Vermont. When he wasn't pursuing his law degree or slinging burgers at Worthy, we got up to an epic crawfish boil and had some phenomenal times. Go-to friend for video games (especially Dark Souls), all things Gundam, and jameson shots.
Adalee Lube
Bridesmaid
Adalee is Carly's cousin, and she always knew that one day she would be wearing purple as a bridesmaid. Whether in Ohio or Tennessee, Adalee and Carly were always playing Mario Party, sliding down the stairs, or harassing their other cousin Jackie. Carly is ecstatic that Adalee has agreed to take a break from her doctoral studies for a weekend of fun, and the rest of the family is excited to see her too!
Ken Oishi
Groomsman
We met at Vermont Law School. While our wives studied, we cooked out, gamed and partied. He's an incredibly generous and caring friend. Somehow he is still coming to the wedding despite facing one of his greatest fears while whitewater rafting with Zack. Go-to friend for all things hockey and bar related. Also has some sick wrestling moves.
Jackie Claren
Bridesmaid
Jackie is Carly's cousin and the only person she makes a point to visit when she is in Ohio. When not together with Adalee, Jackie and Carly go on Olive Garden dates and talk for hours. You can't choose your family, but Carly would have chosen Jackie regardless.
Derek Weaver
Groomsman
First met this guy in Computer Modeling for the Biological Sciences at Capital University. It would take four years and a reunion in Vermont to learn how epic this guy is. Some amazing times traveling around New England and some incredible Vermont holidays shared. Go-to friend for all things computer related. I also hear this guy plays Pathfinder.
Breanna Weaver
Bridesmaid
Breanna and Carly attended both undergraduate and law school together. In undergrad, Carly befriended Breanna on a trip to Ecuador when she saved Breanna's Oreos from falling into the ocean. On a recommendation from Carly, Breanna attended Vermont Law School, and when Carly attended the next year, Breanna served as her "law mom." Now a brilliant attorney, she still looks after Carly when she's not looking after her adorable child.
