Jill & Dan
Wedding Party
Nicole
Maid of Honor
Nicole and Jill first met in college but didn’t become BFFs until after graduation. Even though they lived in different states they were always just a phone call away. They've traveled to New Orleans, Miami, Portland plus many visits to NYC and Chicago. Nicole is that friend who goes above and beyond, she always puts you first and she will always be there for you.
Jay
Best Man
One of a kind
Sarah
Bridesmaid
Sarah and Jill go wayyy back! They knew each other when they were little but it wasn't until they both started life guarding at the local pool that they really hit it off. Even though they went to different high schools they hung out all the time. Sarah surprised Jill at her senior year prom and Jill binged watched shows with Sarah after a surgery. They always have each other’s backs and always will.
Dave
Groomsman
The man responsible for Dan & Jill meeting.
Melissa
Bridesmaid
Melissa is the most fabulous and fashionable friend Jill knows! They met at a sand volleyball meetup group and she “loved” Jill's brightly colored outfit...the rest is history. They've been inseparable ever since then; volleyball, brunches, nights out in NYC, Beyonce concerts, NBA all-star weekend and an amazing trip to Hawaii. Now they are making plans for their future family vacations together. :)
Sam
Groomsman
The man responsible for Dan appearing on national TV
Brittany
Bridesmaid
Brittany is one of the kindest (and on time) people in this world. Even though Jill and Brittany both grow up in Iowa and went to ISU, they didn't know each other until they met through a mutual friend in NYC. Whether they are playing soccer, going to outdoor movies or getting go-to food of either Mexican or Chinese; it’s always a great time with Brittany. Jill even talked her into last minute trips to Puerto Rico and Austin, Texas...now she just needs her to get passport for a few longer distant journeys!
DC
Groomsman
The friendship born in radio and forged in chaos.
Charlotte
Bridesmaid
They've bonded over Michelle Obama, feminism and lover of cozy sweaters. She may be Dan's sister but her and Jill have become great friends and, without a doubt, will grow even closer when Jill travels across the pond. When the move does happen, there will be plenty of game nights to look forward to and the famous apartment pizza.
Pete
Groomsman
He faffs but he we love him.
Brittany
Bridesmaid
Brittany and Jill met in college but it was after they went on a trip to LA senior year that they really became fast friends. They share a love for California and Drake that’s unbreakable. One of the best weekends living in NYC was when Brittany came to visit and they decided to visit the Jersey shore..... during a topical storm. It was a weekend full of memories and a Jason Derulo concert!
Toppo
Groomsman
Never be on the opposition to him in a quiz.
Erin
Bridesmaid
Erin and Jill met in college after joining the same sorority. They loved dressing up for the parties, going to college football games and getting late night food like pokey sticks and superdogs. After college, Erin visited Jill at least 3 times in NYC and Jill saw Erin every chance she had back in Iowa. Being back in Iowa during the pandemic has only brought them closer.
Proudy
Groomsman
He's the Duracell Bunny until 10pm when the Sleepy Tea comes out.
Kim
Officiant
Kim and Jill met through Melissa and became great friends. It was becasue of Kim’s bachelorette party in Nashville that Jill and Dan met at Honky Tonk Central (Kim threatened to stab Dan). Dan joined the bachelorette party the next night and the rest is history. It only seems right for Kim to officiate the wedding in Nashville. #fullcircle #nostabbingplease
