Sarah
Groomswoman
Sarah is David's 2nd oldest friend, having known each other since the beginning of high school. She is a nurse in North Carolina and mother of the twin flower girls.
Audrey
Bridesmaid
Audrey, David, and Jenna met in the most serendipitous of circumstances! Audrey's mom happens to be the stepmother of David's great friends Sarah and Ellen (both groomswomen)! David and Jenna went on a cruise with Sarah, Ellen, and their family, and we realized Audrey and her boyfriend Daniel live just half a mile down the road from David and Jenna- but 3,000 miles away from everyone else. Audrey and Daniel became the perfect couple friends Jenna and David were hoping to find!

Groomsman
Conner was David's first friend in Olympia- until he met David's sister Gabi and decided he'd rather be an in-law instead. David still gets 20% custody though, which he is grateful for!
Gabi
Bridesmaid
Gabi is David's sister, so of course, she is also Jenna's favorite future sister in law! Gabi is a lawyer in Olympia and the couple's unofficial wedding coordinator. She may have done more planning than the couple themselves!
Daniel
