Wedding Party
Sam Curran
Matron of Honor
Sam and Bridget have been inseparable since the very first day of graduate school. They survived medical school and residency side-by-side, quickly earning the title of the ultimate dynamic duo. There isn’t a dance floor they haven’t conquered or a margarita they haven’t met—and they’ve taken on every chapter together with laughter, loyalty, and a little bit of chaos. Sam is the friend who shows up with snacks, a playlist, and zero judgment, and her energy makes every room brighter. Bridget couldn’t imagine this day without her ride-or-die by her side.
Colleen Tesher
Bridesmaid
Colleen is the second-oldest Tesher girl and proudly holds the title for the most freckles in the family. A lifelong animal lover, she’s Polly the family dog’s undeniable favorite. By day, Colleen shines as an HR manager at General Mills, where she has a gift for making good people great and bringing out the best in everyone around her. By night (and any wedding weekend), she’s the friend who will hype you up, fix your hair, and make you laugh until you cry. Thoughtful, steady, and effortlessly fun, Colleen is the kind of bridesmaid every bride dreams of having
Olivia Tesher
Bridesmaid

A total badass litigation consultant, Olivia brings that same sharp thinking and confidence into everything she does. As the other blonde Tesher daughter, she balances sweetness with strength, bringing calm, clarity, and a whole lot of heart to every moment. Bridget is endlessly grateful to have Olivia’s steady presence and genuine kindness by her side.
Sarah Tesher
Bridesmaid
Sarah, better known as Kit, is the youngest Tesher sister, making her and Bridget the family bookends. She’s famously the nicest of the Tesher girls, bringing warmth, humor, and a go-with-the-flow spirit wherever she goes. A licensed cosmetology student at Paul Mitchell, Kit pairs her creative talent with her natural ability to make everyone feel included. Her kindness makes every room softer and every moment a little brighter. The bride couldn’t imagine the day without her little sister’s big heart and sunshine energy.

Tucker Harlan

Even with miles between them now, their friendship stays strong and kept alive through conference calls - the same chemistry they’ve had since day one.
Bryce Wright

From backyard campouts as kids to navigating early adulthood side by side, Bryce has always been one of Zach’s truest day-one friends.
