Maid of Honor
We met at the good ole awkward age of 14 as the only freshman taking ASL 2 in a class of juniors and seniors. We ended up at the same college (swoop!) & were even roomies for a year. She's hilarious & definitely my bestie for the restie. Just wait for her speech.
Best Man
Aneesh has been one of my best friends since starting medical school together. For a sense of how long we have been friends for I will tell you that he had short hair when we met. He has been a huge support system for me throughout medical school and could not have made it without him. I am happy to have him next to me on this special day and excited for him to be showering and putting on his suit five minutes before the ceremony in typical Aneesh fashion.
Matron of Honor
Emma and I have been best friends since our first day at UNF. We were froomies (friends & roomies) for 3 years and were asked if we were sisters constantly. I'd say at this point we could say yes and no one would bat an eye. I'm excited to have her as my matron of honor because she's one of my favorite humans, but she also has some new found wedding wisdom after her own wedding in July.
Groomsman
Jake and I first met at ECU during our undergrad years but I have gotten to know him much better during medical school and I am grateful for that. He has supported me through all of school with his calm, level-headed responses to all my stresses. He was my motivation to build a gaming computer and even though his K/D may be better I will contribute that to my great assistance. Jake has always been a big supporter of mine and Faith's relationship, accepting her as a friend immediately, and I am excited to have him there to support me as I marry her.
Bridesmaid
What can I say? As long as I can remember Kristen has been an amazing role model & a built in confidant. I strive to be as strong, self-aware, and loving as she is. It's an amazing honor to have a bridesmaid that has been one of my favorite people for as long as I can remember.
Groomsman
Karoly (pronounced Cal-Roy) and I met in the beginning of med school and our friendship has continued to strengthen ever since. Karoly left for the Wilmington campus during our 3rd year but that just made the trips down to the beach even more fun. His calming presence and stress free mindset always centered me and gave me motivation to accomplish my goals. He introduced me to so many new things while living together like composting and how to hide all your money under your mattress. I cant wait to have him up with me as Faith and I marry.
Bridesmaid
A beautiful lady that I have considered a sister my whole life. I'm so lucky to have a sister in law who is the most supportive & loving cheerleader for anything and everything going on. Can you imagine a better person to surround you with good energy on your big day?
Groomsman
I will always remember finding Aaron in the gym during first year of medical school and having him motivate me to do more pullups by lifting me until I couldn't possibly give any more effort. Aaron has become a much better friend since that time and has continued to motivate me in and outside the gym. Even though he plays on his controller I am glad he finally got a gaming PC to play with Jake and I (again a better K/D than me, but I will contribute this to my assistance again). I know he will continue to push me to be better and am excited to have him with me as I marry Faith.
Bridesmaid
So stoked to have this fun, sweet, & fiery girl by my side. We have a lot in common, and some people have told us that we look alike...lol. Fun thing is that I'll get to call her my sister so soon!
Groomsman
I am looking forward to having Buddy as a brother. I met Buddy in person for the first time on his and Faith's birthday this year. He was much like me in that he treated his sister with love and a lot of sarcasm. I am excited to connect and share more memories with him as a brother.
Bridesmaid
I'm so looking forward to having Paige as a sister, she's super funny & has amazing energy that you just want to be around. We'll be swapping stories & enjoying each others company for many years to come. I'm so happy to have such a good human as a future sister-in-law and bridesmaid.
Groomsman
I am excited to welcome in David as a brother. I met David during Christmas last year and watched him interact with his children, wife, and entire family and knew immediately where Faith got some of her kindness and love from. I am excited to continue to integrate into the family and welcome David as a brother.
Junior Bridesmaid
Lilly is my sweet and sassy teenage niece. I'd like to think of her as a mini-me, but let's be real she's taller than me now and has a unique spunk that makes her all her own. She's an awesome addition to the bridal party and will bring a light hearted & joyful energy to the day.
