Taya & Josh
Wedding Party
Lien
Maid of Honor
College roommate and friend of the bride. Fellow traveler and Spanish language lover. Has great taste in anime TV shows like the Promised Neverland and Erased, which she watches with Taya. Also loves terrible TV shows like Love Island (which she also watches with Taya).
Calvin
Best Man
Josh’s college marching band rank mate, roommate, and introduction to Dungeons and Dragons. A fitness enthusiast and an all around gaming fiend with boundless energy and zero inhibitions. If you accidentally dare him to climb something, it’ll probably happen.
Haley
Bridesmaid
College roommate and friend of the bride. Really bonded with Taya when they watched Grey’s Anatomy on Haley’s phone at Miller Park because neither of them like baseball. Decorator of apartments for holidays. Wine and coffee connoisseur.
Jordan
Groomsman
Became friends with Josh in high school doing early morning math classes, trombone events, and all sorts of other nerd stuff. Did intramurals and marching band together in college. Mr. Kiss Yo’ Man. Has multiple personas for various levels of drunkenness. Please don’t try to meet them.
Brielle
Bridesmaid
Friend of the bride. Childhood playmate. Fellow high school try-hard. FBLA nationals teammate. College pen pal. Confidant when they started dating their significant others. Extremely smart and hard-working, she can do anything when she puts her mind to it.
Shea
Groomsman
College roommate and friend of the groom. Loves games that make you think, wine making, and swimming. Forced Josh to watch the entirety of Game of Thrones in one semester, stealing Taya’s thunder. A little bit quiet, but try asking him about Zelda or something.
Inés
Bridesmaid
Friend of the bride. Paired up for a high school Spanish exchange program, ella vivía con mi familia por un rato y yo vivía con su familia en España. Ella regresó a los EE.UU afuera del programa para visitarme, y cuando estudié en España yo visité a su familia también. Ella es mi hermana española y ella me crea el amor para la idioma y cultura de español. Ella es una de las razones que recibí un título en español.
Harry
Groomsman
Friend of the groom and neighbors growing up. An outdoors enthusiast who’s laid back and super easy to chat with. Great at clicking heads. Destroyed Len in poker as a middle schooler. There’s an upcoming ping pong redemption match, but results will likely be the same.
Rachel
Bridesmaid & Groom's Sister
Sister of the groom and friend to the bride. Climber of rocks. Student of economics. Mother of kittens. Reader of great books like Oryx and Crake. Brushes her teeth twice a day even though no one else in the Widra family does.
James
Groomsman
Friend of the groom ever since high school-ish. Seems a little too cool to be a nerd but definitely qualifies. Great with everything techy. [Self appointed] lead game balancer for most games. Creative genius and Forever DM <3
Katie
Bridesmaid & Sister-in-Law
Sister-in-law and friend to the bride. Met Josh seven years ago in the Chadbourne dorm and then ended up marrying Taya’s brother. Also a nurse, but she’s been one longer and probably looks way cooler doing it. Once told a surgeon that her husband swallowed a dog toy (he did not).
Jaden
Groomsman & Bride's Brother
Josh’s marching band buddy for 5 seasons. Also Taya’s brother. A fun loving and athletic dude who’s a competitor in every game he plays. His alignment is solidly Lawful Good, aside from euchre. Absolutely wild euchre player.
