Wedding Party
Mark
Man of Honor
Kat's younger brother. The single greatest gift Kat's parents ever gave her. (Also a groomsman.) Most likely to be tapped if the officiant backs out because he always knows what to say.
Nick
Best Man
Chris's younger brother. Turned out pretty okay despite Chris's poor life advice (Chris swears it was good). Most likely to steal the show with his speech because he's great at, well, everything!
Bonnie
Maid of Honor
Kat's law school bestie turned life bestie. Her partner in moot court and crime. Most likely to be found in the bridal suite talking with Kat in the middle of the night before the wedding.
Matt
Groomsman
Chris's first friend all the way from elementary school through college. Was often mistaken for his brother by teachers. Most likely to bring a pet as a plus one.
Ayla
Bridesmaid
Kat's college (and forever!) roomie, thanks to Princeton's pairing system. A professional performer, so most likely to be the life of the reception's dance floor. #BodyBodyHypeHype
Sean
Groomsman
Renowned music producer and Chris's hometown doubles partner. Most likely to need to be reminded to smile in the wedding photos.
Samone
Bridesmaid
Kat's true twin in everything from college theater to dress shopping. Most likely to jump in if a musician gets stuck in traffic (knock on wood). She is that talented AND that selfless.
Nikita
Groomsman
International superstar and Chris's mentor in High School politics. Most likely to take over the DJ booth. #GrooveCruise
My
Bridesmaid
Kat's wisest pal, from orientation week of college, who gives the best advice. Most likely to win every game played at the bridal shower. There is no one better at games or listening.
Andrew
Groomsman
Always down for Dim Sum or Tennis; Chris's lifelong hitting partner. Most likely to take the over on a successful marriage.
Claire
Bridesmaid
Kat's day one, thanks to college a cappella joining them forever. Most likely to tell a great (and slightly incriminating) story about the newleyweds. Her memory is frightening, y’all.
Mike
Groomsman
Master of pickleball, sourdough, and AWS. Most likely to leave the after party to get to bed at a reasonable hour.
Carolyn
Bridesmaid
Kat's honest advisor, all the way from college orientation to adult life in NYC. Most likely to bring you a strong drink when you need one. First in line at the bar, first to breakfast.
Dan
Groomsman
Like Goku but with code, and the reason Chris was able to pass his SWEN classes. Most likely to need a nap on the wedding day.
Lavinia
Bridesmaid
Kat's ride or die and favorite person to navigate everything from college to law firm life with. Most likely to write a wedding card that makes us all sob; words are truly her gift.
Qadir
Groomsman
Able to talk anime with Chris for hours while also managing to carry him through his CS classes. Most likely to ask about the macros in the entrees.
Kelly
Bridesmaid
Kat's soul sister, college confidante, and fellow NYC cat mom. Most likely to save the day (and not just because she is a professional wedding coordinator, though that doesn't hurt).
Phil
Groomsman
Chris's friend from their first class at RIT and Python guru (shout-out CS1). Most likely to be found ordering shots at the bar.
