Bride
Pretty cool.
Groom
Also pretty cool.
Matron of Honor
A true role model of mine, Hallie is insanely smart and ambitious, and has a lot more almighty womanly power than I probably ever will. Growing up we dabbled in some pretty sweet activities such as pillow surfing and making Happy Meals with our at-home McDonald's play set. We can often be found speaking in movie and television quotes, especially from the 90s and early 2000s. "NEVER LET ANYONE SIGN YOUR CHECKS!"
Best Man
My best friend of nearly 30 years, we’ve been an inseparable duo since birth. From shredding the streets of Brandywine on our razors to sneaking sips of our parents’ booze in high school, we really did do some hoodrat shit. A human who knows me to my absolute core and who I would stand beside through any and everything, the Sleeps is truly a best man.
Bridesmaid
Jenna is married to Brett’s brother Alan, and thank the lord for that because who else would I cuddle in a poop emoji onesie? Lover of all animals, extremely kind-hearted, and has wonderful taste – I don’t know what could possibly make her better. She can often be found starting oddly personal conversations with strangers, singing passionately in public places while holding an invisible microphone, cheating in Scrabble (no proper nouns, Jenna), and mooing out of the car window at cows.
Groomsman
Honestly a little surprised I’m putting Alan in my wedding, seeing as he backed over my Huffy Diesel bicycle when I was young. But all sins are washed away in time, and Alan has more than made up for this past transgression. I’ve witnessed Alan go through situations in life that I knew I’d eventually be facing myself and there was no one else I’d rather watch and learn from than him.
Bridesmaid
Wifey and Baby Mama to Brett’s brother Craig, Cameron has somehow managed to be a bad-ass career woman and supermom all in one radiant package. She can make anyone feel at home, and always has delicious beer to offer. Cameron is exceptionally great at singing the instrumental parts of songs (especially Boyz II Men) and her go-to dance move is the age-old classic, "shaking your hands dry in the public bathroom because there are no more freaking paper towels."
Groomsman
Not only do Craig and I share DNA, but we shared a bathroom growing up. Every Christmas, at 4 AM, I’d barge in his room with the Titanic VHS (double tapes) and 5” Symphonic brand television in tote. I’d shake Craig awake and pop in tape 1. He never complained and would contentedly watch with me until 7AM. But honestly, who wouldn’t? EXCELLENT film.
Bridesmaid
I’ve stayed closely in touch with very few people from high school, but Michelle is stuck with me for life. A truly dedicated friend, she is always there for me, even from a few states away. She is ridiculously artistic and creative, and never ceases to impress me with her art projects. Michelle is one of the few people to appreciate poop related humor as much as I do, is a fellow lover of Sisqo’s “Thong Song,” and loves Rod Stewart more than any woman under the age of 50 should. Together, we are still recovering from our 2008 clubbing phase.
Groomsman
A collegiate friend turned roommate, Ross and I have found ourselves in quite a range of circumstances, from absolutely awful, to awfully amazing. We kept things live on "fif skreet" with Hanukkah celebrations, egg drop soup + cheese sandwiches, and more trips to the Goat and Compass than the bartenders who worked there-and I loved every second of it. He has consistently been one of the most selfless and hardworking people I’ve known and a constant reminder of what a truly great friend is.
Bridesmaid
Lindley started as a stranger on Craigslist looking for a roommate, we then quickly bonded over dildo jokes, and she became what is sure to be a life-long best friend within weeks of moving in. She is one of the most genuine and accepting souls I’ve ever known, and someone I always turn to when I need some words of wisdom. I had the honor of being her hipster boyfriend, and together we once made a Christmas card involving wine and butts (and ghosts). Lindley loves to share in the important conversation of “what should we get to eat today?”
Groomsman
It’s easy to ramble about how genuinely good hearted of a human being Hunter is, or how I’m sooo glad my future brother-in-law doesn’t suck, but I’d prefer to highlight his real best attribute: The Huffman Chuckle. Hunter’s laugh is truly a spectacle to behold. Occasionally I’m worried he’s going to stroke out when the giggle bug bites him, but miraculously, he always comes out the other end unscathed. I am so stoked that for the rest of my days, I will get to witness this laugh over and over as we grow older and older.
Bridesmaid
Jessica and I met working at Lana Addison Bridal, and she quickly became one of my closest friends. She is always adorable, positive and upbeat, and is more interested and involved in the lives of her friends and family than just about anyone else I have ever met. Conveniently, Jessica is totally cool with the fact that her husband is one of my future husband’s biggest crushes. She shares my inappropriate sense of humor and can be found by my side laughing at videos of bounce houses flying away (only, of course, if no one is hurt!)
Groomsman
What I discovered in meeting Matt for the first time was an incredibly thoughtful and inclusive human, who eats at a painstakingly slow quip. Several years later, nothing’s changed. He is up for anything, anytime, anywhere, whether or not there is a solidified plan in place, which is truly a unique attribute that a lot of us lose over time. I didn’t know if he’d make it to our wedding after a recent poolside nap conundrum in Tennessee where I was convinced he was going to be murdered by Hallie, but I’m glad he’s alive and well and standing up front with me.
