Maid of Honor
Kailey (aka Sherp) is Bri's little sister, partner-in-crime, and best friend since 2002. If you know Bri, then you know Sherp. She's truly the best of the best and Bri couldn't ask for a better sister and friend. There’s truly no one in the world like Sherp...and there is no one else Bri could even imagine to be her maid of honor. Sherp's had that role locked down since the day she was born! They're constantly visiting each other whenever they can (Bri can't wait for Sherp to finish grad school and move home to Tampa!), but if they can't be together then they are on the phone or FaceTime yapping about anything and everything. If it was up to them, they'd still live across the hall from each other just like they did growing up. Sorry that they're not sorry Nathan...they're a package deal!
Best Man
David and Nathan met during their freshman year at UF and have been best friends since. Especially since both were in the same fraternity AEPI, Nathan and David were able to spend so much of college by each others sides along with their big group of amazing friends! After college, both Nathan and David found themselves living in Atlanta for a few years where they became even closer. David now lives in Austin, Texas, but they love to catch up, share food spots they've discovered, talk sports, work on their app development project (yay Fantasy Fusion!), and make trips to see each other whenever they can. Nathan couldn't imagine a better friend than David to be his best man and stand by his side as he marries Bri.
Bridesmaid
Sam is Nathan's older sister, who is making the trip all the way from Madison, Wisconsin. If you knew Nathan and Sam growing up, you'd know that they had the typical brother-sister fighting relationship but luckily they (mostly) grew out of that. Nathan may still love to press Sam’s buttons, but he can now openly admit that he loves Sam and feels so blessed to have her as his smart, athletic, funny, and amazing sister. Bri is so excited to gain another sister, especially one that will tease Nathan with her. If you get the chance to talk to her at the wedding, make sure to give her and her fiancé Andrew an early congratulations as they're getting married in October 2027!
Groomsman
Tyler is Bri's older brother turned best friend. Bri and Tyler did most things together throughout their childhood and have only gotten closer as they’ve gotten older. Bri feels so lucky to have Tyler as her older brother, even though that did mean being on the receiving end of all of his WWE wrestling moves as kids. Tyler is excited to finally have a brother in the family, and he already teams-up with Nathan against Bri to make fun of her. Nathan and Tyler bond over fantasy football and talking all the financial/Salesforce stuff that Bri doesn't understand for the life of her.
Bridesmaid
Sarah is Bri's sister-in-law and she has been with Bri's brother Tyler since 2015. Sarah's the ultimate hype-girl and has been in Bri's life since Bri was still in high school! Bri couldn't imagine her day without Sarah by her side. Fun fact: Tyler and Sarah have been married since November 7, 2020. One week to the day after their wedding, Bri and Nathan went on their first date!
Groomsman
Jesse and Nathan have been friends since they met during Summer C during their freshman year at UF. Like a lot of the other groomsmen, Jesse was a brother in Nathan's fraternity AEPi. Nathan and Jesse have remained close over the years by working on their app together (Fantasy Fusion!), talking politics, and seeing each other for the yearly pilgrimage to UF for a football game with their group of best friends (who are all groomsmen!). If you're into finance or analytics, make sure to chat up Jesse at the wedding as he's finishing up his PhD at UF soon!
Bridesman
Jonathan has been Bri's bestie since the moment they met in Mrs. Kruft's 1st grade class. He is basically Bri's second brother and has become a member of the Wendol family over the years. From going on trips around the world to just driving around Spring Hill in Jonathan's high school Kia Rio (with crank windows!), Jonathan and Bri have done it all together. Fun Fact: In 1st grade, Jonathan wrote that he was going to name one of his dogs "Brianne" when he got older. Thank goodness his sweet Golden Doodles are named Louis and Archie instead!
Groomsman
Zach (or just Z as Nathan calls him) is another Gator AEPi best friend. Nathan and Z spent college together and even were roommates during their final year in Gainesville. Zach's now returned back to Chicago post-grad, but luckily Nathan and Zach both make work-trips to Florida and Chicago, so they get to see each other when they can. Nathan's so happy and thankful to have Zach by his side for this big moment in his life.
Bridesman
Hunter is Bri's bestie who she met in 2018 while they were studying abroad in Florence, Italy while at FSU. Hunter and Bri were random roommates in the same apartment on the Arno River. They instantly bonded and knew they were going to be best friends for life.. like they actually both called it during one of their first conversations! Bri and Hunter traveled all over Europe together (5 countries to be exact) and he was even Bri's "date" to her brother's wedding. Hunter now lives in NYC so they are long-distance besties, but they love to catch up on FaceTime and make trips to see each other whenever they can.
Groomsman
You guessed it...another Gator AEPi best friend! Jared and Nathan met during their undergrad at UF and have been buddies ever since. Nathan and Jared talk nearly every day in their big friend group chat about sports, current events, funny jokes, and everything in between. Nathan was honored to be a part of Jared's wedding to his wife Jessica, and now Nathan is excited to have Jared stand by his side!
Bridesmaid
Bri met Amanda on their first day at work as lawyers together at Rissman and have been besties ever since. Fun fact: they would eat lunch together every day at work until they both moved onto different firms (it's still a sore subject that they're no longer coworkers). Bri and Amanda have evolved from co-workers to best friends and now spend time together through trying all the new Tampa eateries, yapping about lawyering, and hitting Bayshore or the Riverwalk for a nice walk. Bri wishes that her path would've crossed with Amanda's back at FSU so they could've been friends for longer, but as they say - better late than never!
Groomsman
Harry was Nathan's sophomore year of college roommate at UF. They met through their big group of extended friends early on in their college careers and have been best buddies ever since. Whenever Nathan would come down to Gainesville to visit Bri during their long-distance years, most trips would involve a hang-out with Harry who was finishing off his time at UF's veterinarian school. These days, Harry is thriving as a vet and lives in Boston. Nathan is honored that Dr. Harry is making the trip down in order to stand by his side.
Bridesmaid
Talia was Bri's random sophomore year roomie at FSU! They instantly clicked and became fast best friends. From going to spin classes together at Leach to happy hours at Township, Bri and Talia spent so much of college by each other's sides. Talia is in Duke University's psychology nursing program (smarty pants alert!) and came all the way from North Carolina to stand by Bri's side.
Groomsman
Rushi (like Sushi!) is one of Nathan's closest friends since their high school days. While they didn't go to the same schools, they're so happy that their paths crossed through their mutual friends. Rushi is an all-around stand-up guy and the type of friend that everyone should feel lucky to have. He's also the definition of the life of a party. Just wait until you see Nathan and Rushi tearing up the dance floor together!
Ring Bearer
Luca is Bri and Nathan's nephew. His proud parents are Bri's brother and sister-in-law, Tyler and Sarah. He is the cutest little guy and everyone knows that he truly lights up his Aunt Bri Bri and Uncle Natey's world. If you catch Bri on any given day, there's a great chance she'll show you a picture (or ten...) of Luca. During the wedding, you'll probably catch him dancing it up on the dance floor or hanging out with his grandparents, Nanny and Dzaidzai!
