Samantha & Thomas
Wedding Party
Nicholas Beattie
Officiant
Sam's friend from high school. Invited him over to a party in 2015 and he never went home
Emily Quinn
Maid of Honor
Met Sam across the hall at Northern. Became roommates and moved to Chicago together. Been to many concerts and watched a lot of Love Island. She visits many zoos and has better nails and makeup than like 99.9% of the population. We call her Quinn, called her Emily once and it felt so so wrong.
Roxanne Hoppe
Bridesmaid
Met Sam at Northern. Ate a lot of cereal with a lot of laughs together. We suffer through cycling together. Loves all things yellow and wholesome. Probably the sweetest person to exist. Pretty great dance moves.
Samantha Tims
Bridesmaid
Sam's roommate at Northern. Everyone said we would hate each other (they were right!). I often introduce us as "The Sams" (Sam T hates it). Great taste in books, style, and reality television.
Katherine Marsh
Bridesmaid
Sam's neighbor Junior year at NMU. She showed up at a party and someone said "Who do you know here?", Sam intervened. We really went from there. Typically heard people say "oh no" when Sam and Katherine showed up somewhere together. Been in constant communication since 2016. Alumni of the Altamont circa 2017
Kaileena McCloskey
Bridesmaid
Met in Business School at NMU. Struggled through Business Law together somehow. Often studied together with minimal work done (we passed though). Traveled Europe together and made sure to stop at a McDonalds in every country
