Three fun facts: - We met in 3rd grade and were by each other's side all the way to UMass! - Ashley has been "Chica" to me for as long as I can remember (or lovingly, "Chiquita") - She married her college boyfriend and now they're making me lots of adorable babies (current count: 2; Evelyn and Lana)

Tercara

Three fun facts: - We met through the Fresh Air Fund when we were 7 (coming up on 3 decades of friendship!!!) - They were Michael's and my photographer/videographer when he proposed in Costa Rica - They are legally prohibited from painting their own nails (according to me). I've seen things.
Rob
Groomsman
Three fun facts: - I met Rob when he started dating Josh's wife's identical twin sister - Rob is usually the designated chef at tailgates because he's one hell of a cook - He once tried to kill us by taking us hiking in the coldest, windiest mountains in Virginia
Brittany

Three fun facts: - My future sister-in-law (The Barbers 2026?) - She got me into reading fantasy series (the smutty kind) and now I'm addicted - Her daughter, Ellie, is her mini-me and is always dressed like a little fashionista
John
Groomsman
Three fun facts: - We met when my mom and dad decided that 2 kids wasn't enough - John is the reason the majority of my family has made money in the stock market - He once got lit on fire by a friend and received the friend's new boots as "compensation"
Katie

Three fun facts: - Michael's sister and inheritor of all the family's recessive genes - She's passionate about horseback riding, and her daughter, Clara, is following in her footsteps - My #1 when the men are off fishing for hours on end
Chris
Groomsman
Three fun facts: - Chris became my brother-in-law in 2016 when he married my sister Katie - Chris like hunting and fishing almost as much as his wife and daughter - He sleeps in sweatpants and a hoodie even in the summer (like WTF?!)
Jon
Army of Honor
Three fun facts: - We met at a party when he kicked hooligans out of the bathroom so that I could use it - He has a crazy cat that likes to spend hours outside, even in 20 degree weather - We co-created a zombie board game, but it never got enough funding to go beyond poster board and popsicle sticks
Corey
Groomsman
Three fun facts: - I met Corey when he joined the ECU drumline my sophomore year - This man is constantly traveling the globe - Never let him control the aux unless you want to hear "Mo Bamba" or "Stop Snitchin" on repeat
Natalie
Army of Honor
Three fun facts: - We met in a bar bathroom, went sledding the next day, and have been friends ever since - She lives in New Hampshire despite being allergic to the cold (it's a real thing) - DON'T LET HER LICK YOU IF YOU HAVE COCONUT OIL ON
Niina
Army of Honor
Three fun facts: - We met through her now-husband at UMass, and just like me, they have since migrated south (and are required to stay within driving distance of me forever) - I have the honor of being a godmother to her beautiful daughter, Noora - She looks sweet and innocent, but she knows jiu jitsu, so watch yourself
