Maid of Honor
Adrianne and I went to law school together at the University of Texas, but we didn't actually meet until we both studied abroad in London during our third year. Since then, we've had some great adventures and have traveled together to Paris, Tokyo, Kyoto, L.A., Tulum, and more, and we always come back with great memories and huge smiles. She's one of the sweetest girls I know, with a heart of gold and an outlook on life that's as bright and bubbly as champagne (my fave). Besties for the resties!
Best Man
Although separated at birth and raised by Polish gypsies, Michael is in fact my biological brother. Married to his high school sweetheart, my sister in law MiChele, for 30 years they have two sons, Mark and Jon. Michael is corporate counsel for Catholic Health Partners. Aside from conquering the health care industry one hospital network at a time, Michael has been so much more to me than a brother. Best friend, confidant, and veritable rock when needed most describes him well. He is someone I have looked up to and attempted to emulate. As successful a father, husband and accomplished attorney as he is, he remains amazingly grounded, kind and appreciative of the most important aspect in life, family. Proud he is standing beside me on this very special day.
Bridesmaid
Although Olivia didn't go to school at UT Law, she and I came to know each other over the various law school social functions that she attended with her boyfriend at the time, who was one of my classmates. She was such a regular at these events that some people actually thought she was a fellow student who just never went to class! Although Olivia and her boyfriend eventually parted ways, she and I have remained great friends ever since, despite her recent move from Dallas back to Austin (though I will never stop trying to convince her to move back to Big D). She is passionate, brilliant, and the type of friend who will drop everything (and she has) to be there for me when I need her. Everyone needs a girlfriend like Olivia in their lives, and thankfully I have her :)

Everybody needs a friend named Earl......I am so fortunate to have that friend. We have known each other going on 20 years now. Met at a party neither of us wanted to be at and luckily he wanted to talk about hunting and fishing. Earl is a food broker in Houston, Texas and married 26 years to his lovely wife, my friend Joni. They have two beautiful children in Autumn and Jake. Not surprisingly, an amazing family man, strong in temperament and patient as the day is long. But, don't let his gray hairs fool you, if given the chance he would be hunting at 10,000 feet in the Colorado Rockies and the first one to volunteer to pack out any elk we have been fortunate to harvest. Brother from another mother.

G is the best daughter—and step daughter!—that anyone could ever hope for. Beautiful inside and out, she has always encouraged and supported me & Paul and I can’t thank her enough for being there for both of us all along the way!

Hard to imagine anyone more important to me to be standing by my side on my wedding day than my son. Beyond proud of what he has already accomplished and what I look forward to seeing from him in the future. Luke is in his junior year in the honors program at Texas Tech. Son, best friend, surfing and skiing buddy, hunting and fishing partner, and still a Longhorn fan at heart. I've been blessed to watch him mature into the man he is. My heart hurts when he leaves for college every August and always can't wait for our next trip to Pagosa. Love you son.
