Wedding Party
Sarah Drew
Maid of Honor
Sarah is the sister of the bride and truly the BEST sister that anyone could ever hope to have. While growing up, Sarah couldn't wait to get away from Megan because she was the annoying little sister that always "stole" her stuff. Now, they go on annual Sister Trips just to spend time with one another. Currently living in California and working as a Senior Director at eBay, Sarah has always been someone that Megan has looked up to and admired. Megan couldn't imagine this day without Sarah as her Maid of Honor.
Josh Chop
Best Man
Josh and Michael met in grade school through mutual friends while growing up in Wisconsin. Megan would characterize Josh and Michael's friendship as one of the most annoying friendships ever. They go through spurts of not speaking to one another because they are waiting on the other person to reach out first. Despite this "game" they play, they are two of the closest friends that you'll ever find. While Michael was stationed at Ft. Hood and Josh was living in Wisconsin, Josh called Michael one day and asked what he was up to. After their usual back and forth, Josh shared that he had packed up his purple PT Cruiser and was a few hours into his road trip down to Ft. Hood to come live with Michael - completely out of the blue. True to their friendship, Michael said, "awesome, see you in 12 hours."
Katie Baker
Bridesmaid
Katie and Megan met during college while waiting tables at Old Chicago. Initially, Katie thought Megan was going to be one of the "mean girls" at the restaurant. Thankfully, that wasn't the case and they became the best of friends. Spending countless summer nights and weekends at Clinton Lake, Katie and Megan have the type of friendship that just comes naturally. Katie is one of the most loyal and caring friends, which makes her the best school nurse that Blue Valley (or any school district) could ever have!
Nick Devonis
Groomsman
Nick and Michael met in 2010 while they were serving in the Army, deployed to Iraq. Their friendship was anything but "Friends at first sight". It took about 3 months before they actually took the time to get to know one another and quickly became close friends. While stationed at Ft. Hood, Nick and Michael often made questionable decisions together, including Hog Hunting after drinking a couple of alcoholic beverages. Thankfully, they made it through and Nick even became a Compliance Manager in Massachusetts, making sure others are sticking to the rules. Nick and Michael also both share a love of horticulture.
Meghan MacFadden
Bridesmaid
Meg Mac and Meg Drew initially met while working their very first jobs at Red River Cantina in Overland Park, KS. A few years later, they moved in across the hall from one another in the McCollum dorm rooms at the University of Kansas. Meg Mac is the queen of entertaining adventures, one of which required a trip from Lawrence to Olathe in under 30 minutes to win free Chippendale's tickets for her birthday (they won!). Not only is Meg Mac one of the best recruiters in Chicago, IL, she is also one of the kindest, most welcoming people you will ever meet. Not to mention her uncanny ability to entertain an entire group of random people without even trying - she is a rare breed!
Alex Chop
Groomsman
Alex and Michael met in grade school through mutual friends while growing up in Wisconsin. Back in the days of MapQuest, Alex took a roadtrip from Wisconsin to South Carolina to visit Michael after he moved there. What was originally supposed to take 15 hours, ended up taking closer to 19 hours due to some questionable MapQuest directions and even more questionable map reading abilities. One of the best things about Alex is you can always count on him to be down for an adventure. Despite the long distance between Alex and Michael, they pick up where they left off each time they see one another.
Becca Monnington
Bridesmaid
Becca and Megan met during their freshman year in college at the University of Kansas when they lived diagonal from one another at McCollum Hall. The following year, they were hallmates at the Legends Apartments and made some of the best college memories that year - most of which included Becca ending the night watching Katt Williams in the living room by herself, laughing hysterically. Becca has always been high energy with an affinity for helping others, which is no doubt why she is the best Athletic Trainer and more recently a resident of Wichita, KS once again. Becca is a little spit fire in a 5'1 body and not someone you EVER want to wrestle - you'll lose.
Summer Scott
Bridesmaid
Summer and Megan met while working at Houlihan's in Dallas, TX and became roommates shortly thereafter. Before Summer's second daughter was born, she called Megan and told her that her daughter's middle name was going to be "Drew", after the most influential friend she ever had. A few years later, Megan's daughter was born on the same day as the daughter Summer named after her. To say they have a special bond is an understatement. Summer was also present the day Michael and Megan started dating (St. Patrick's Day 2012) and has been there every day since. Summer has an affinity for Malibu Pineapple and has one of the most magnetic personalities which is why she is one kick ass business owner, owning Leo and Luna salon in Longview, TX. Summer is also LONGVIEW FAMOUS! #Lolz
