Maid of Honor
Four-and-a-half years younger than Alex, Nicole is definitely the cooler sister. People think they look nothing alike or look like twins with different coloring. Nicole attended (aka partied and tailgated at) the University of Michigan for both her BA and MSW, and is now helping the youth of Chicago where she works as a social worker.
Bridesmaid
Alex's longest friend (since age 5!). They met in the spring of 1998 playing youth soccer, where Caitie stuck out because she was the slowest. They became friends that summer at Pilgrim Day Camp, and were camp BFFs til freshman year of high school when they finally attended the same school. They went to Cornell together and were freshman year & senior year roommates. Despite trying to pull Alex away when Aaron first asked her out, Caitie has grown to love him!
Bridesmaid
Claire and Alex met using the buddy system at Cornell freshman year. Safety first! Friends forever. Alex's first time in NYC was visiting Claire at her summer internship dorm. They've covered lots of "firsts" on travels since then, and most recently pulled each other out of the Flathead River in Glacier National Park Montana where they were both crazy enough to jump off the white water raft (with bridesmaids Caitie & Jaimee!)
Bridesmaid
Jaimee was studying with Alex's freshman year hall mate when Alex barged into the room, shocked by the latest episode of Gray's Anatomy. Alex swears they met at a bus stop during a snowstorm. Either way, the Cornell gods meant for them to be friends! When Alex got home from her first date with Aaron, Jaimee asked if he was her husband, to which Alex responded with an emphatic "no." (whoops!)
Bridesmaid
Alex's mom AND aunt both had the pleasure of being Keiana's elementary school teachers. Alex connected with Keiana through summer camp friends (fellow bridesmaids Caitlin and Lindsey) in high school, and the crew has been inseparable ever since.
Bridesmaid
Lindsey and Alex met at summer camp in Framingham. They've had formative moments together like seeing the original Spy Kids movie in theaters and taking Drivers' Ed. together in high school. They have traveled around Scotland and Iceland together, and worked two offices apart as DOJ paralegals right after college.
Bridesmaid
Like Keiana, Marissa was also a student of Alex's mom and aunt, and Alex was later introduced to Riss through Caitie and Lindsey. Alex and Riss blasted Britney Spears in Alex's Volvo station wagon in high school like it was their job. They continue to cultivate their love of Britney (and all pop princesses) as proud members of bridesman Cal Curtis's workout classes.
Bridesmaid
Alex was always behind Rachel in the alphabetized lines during sorority rush week. They ended up joining the same house, and were quickly close friends. They suffered through LSAT prep class together during spring semester senior year. They shared a gigantic bottle of sickeningly sweet Riesling wine at Rachel's kitchen table before one of Aaron & Alex's first dates. Their taste in wine has changed with age, but their friendship has only gotten better!
Bridesman
Cal and Alex met in cardio kickboxing a few days into freshman year at Cornell. Cal kept his gym wristband on for the next few days as a friendship bracelet, flashing it every time they passed each other on their way to class. They quickly became best friends, and have been inseparable ever since.
