Wedding Party
Julian Velasco
Officiant
The year is 2013. Jordan meets a strapping young man named Julian in Brevard, North Carolina. They bond over their love of Mumford and Sons and having dads who play the saxophone. Fast forward. The year is 2020. Jordan and Julian are roommates. Jordan is making salsa from scratch for his first date with a girl named Hannah. Julian says, "Wow. You never try this hard for first dates," to which Jordan said, "IDK man I got a good feeling about this one!" Fast forward one week. Jordan asks Julian if Hannah can join their “COVID bubble". Hannah seamlessly entered the fold of their quarantine with all of its intense Super Smash Bros games and taco nights. From there, the rest is history: A blur of friendship, fellowship, and familyship. Julian has been there since the very beginning, and Jordan and Hannah can’t picture anyone else legally binding them in love <3
Martha Motoyama
Bridesmaid
Hannah's childhood friend and neighbor-turned-roommate in Chicago! Whether it's a cozy night in or a Southport Stroll, these two celebrate over two decades of friendship. She also put up with Hannah's chaotic decision to foster a dog for two weeks while they lived together. A true friend! Martha was Hannah's houseplant inspo goddess--she has 24 plants and counting!
Chris Sinta
Best Man
Chris and Jordan love being up close and personal (to each other and at exciting events). First row at MSU football games? Check. First row at countless other concerts? Check. First row at eachothers weddings? Check.
Kelli Wilson
Bridesmaid
They've come a long way from the WVHS Marching Warriors, but they're still "dressing up" and turning out! Kelli and Hannah share a love for pilates, watercolors, and reality TV. You might say this friendship is really "For The Right Reasons." Kelli has a cat named Rooney who is a very handsome boy, and one of Hannah's favorite cats.
Amanda Simmons
Groomsmanda
Heralded as "one of the most important women in Amanda's life" by Amandas mother-in-law, Jordan has been honored to call Amanda a friend for nearly 10 years. Their friendship has been primarily long distance and is made possible in part by the invention of "unlimited minutes" phone plans. Jordan is also quite fond of Amanda's dog, Carina.
Stephanie Young
Bridesmaid
Connected by fate at their job, Hannah and Stephanie now share a friendship rife with inside jokes and recounting internet drama in the office. An avid gamer, Steph was there when Hannah really needed her most: the two hours when she thought she had lost her Animal Crossing Island in a memory wipe. Don't worry, the island was recovered, but the moral support was invaluable.
Brandon Quarles
Dr. Groomsman DMA
From late nights on the streets of Austin, to uncomfortable futons in Cleveland Ohio, to visiting their beloved barber Victor, Dr. Brandon Quarles and Jordan have seen it all together. A fellow founding member of Jordan's quartet ~Nois, Brandon is Jordan's go to source for all things guitar knowledge, musical nerdiness, and Georgia Football. Go Dawgs!
Radha Kulkarni
Bridesmaid
Radha is like the older sister Hannah never had. A true Virgo queen, Radha's organizational prowess is unmatched. You've never seen someone speak to the manager in a bowling alley arcade as fearlessly as she has. Radha has a cat named Dorito who is a sweet old lady baby and one of Hannah's favorite cats.
Mark Main
Groomsmain
And they were roommates? For 5 years to be exact. Would Jordan have graduated college without Mark's impeccable and consistent embodiment of responsibility and goodness? Who's to say. (narrator: he probably wouldn't have). It takes a REAL special person to live with someone from the ages of 18 to 23. Mark has stories. Find him on the dance floor and go get 'em.
Zinnia Schwartz
Bridesmaid
A brilliant linguist who can just as quickly analyze your labovian narrative structure as she can provide you a piece of niche Survivor trivia. Hannah and Zinnia bond over their zest for learning and spontaneous dance breaks. Zinnia is bilingual and can strike up a conversation with anyone--in English or French!
Billy Poulos
Doctor Groomsman MPH/PhD
Ok, so you know the show Friends? Well picture Mark and Jordan as Rachel and Monica... and then Billy and Chris as Chandler and Joey. But then instead of Jordan and Billy getting married (like Monica and Chandler), all four of the homies just moved in together and raised two plants - Clyde (billy's plant) (RIP) and Frank (jordan's plant) (RIP) .
Mariah Goulet
Bridesmaid
It's always a blessing to have friends as neighbors, and neighbors as friends. Mariah and Hannah love a good thrift, beach day, or mysteriously-read-our-books-in-a-coffee-shop date. Mariah is also the mother to Hannah's feline nieces--Iris and Hecate--two of Hannah's favorite cats.
