Wedding Party

Jessica Bright

Matron of Honor

Keri and I met in November of 2020 in an alternate, virtual version of 1920s New Orleans called Swamp Fever. Collaborative escapism and daily conversations about everything and nothing soon blossomed into genuine friendship, which we commemorated exactly one year later with a real life rendezvous in Atlanta. We took turns visiting each other in the years that followed, and in March of 2023, we traveled to modern day New Orleans to retrace our characters' fictional footsteps. We still talk everyday, and now preside over our own community of creatives known as Sonders. My husband Brian and I are delighted to be part of Keri and Ryan's anniversary celebration, and we look forward to being part of each other's stories in the years ahead.

Kaitlyn Mazzola

Bridesmaid

I'm Kaitlyn, and I've known Keri since 7th or 8th grade. We had some mutual friends in common, but we didn't really start a real friendship until we got to high school, which is where we both met Ryan. Their friendship means so much to me, and I hope their marriage is filled with many, many more years of the wonderful love and partnership I've been lucky enough to witness.

Cameron Garcia

Bridesmaid

Hi! I'm Cammi, and I've known Keri and Ryan for nearly as long as they've been married. As we've gotten closer over time, I am grateful to call them both some of my dearest friends. Keri is, to me, a true confidant, commiserator, and companion. She and Ryan have become members of my chosen family, and I am thrilled to be celebrating a decade of their love together.

Anushka Sharma

Bridesman

Hello! My name is Anushka! One of the best parts about dating Chase has been sharing his amazing friends. Most importantly Keri. We’ve only known each other for about 5 years now but it feels like we’ve been friends forever. I feel like our friendship has developed deeply over the years and she’s definitely someone I depend on.

Megan Rich

Bridesman

Hi, I'm Megan and I've known Keri and Ryan since college. It's been a pleasure watching them grow as a couple for that last decade plus with hopefully many more to come.

Christina Kirkman

Bridesmaid

My name’s Christina and I met Keri and Ryan in college when I was 18. Memories with them are some of my most favorite, and although I’ve left Atlanta, I hope to make many more! I’m very happy to celebrate their marriage again 10 years later - that is my kind of couple goals.

Susan Lodhia

Bridesmaid

I'm Susan (or Squee)! I've known Ryan and Keri since college and I am constantly impressed by how these high school sweethearts have grown together all these years and even become goals to younger couples. I first met Ryan in college when he joined my fraternity and from the beginning, he's been an amazing friend who was always super fun to talk to and there for you when you need it. Since I am older and Keri wasn't at college with us, I missed out on the chance to grow very close with her till after college. But some of my fondest memories are the times I spent with Ryan and Keri at the apartment that Rahmaan and Ryan shared, where I got to know what a fun, charismatic and loyal person she is (and a great cook). Ryan and Keri are probably the most welcoming couple I know. Their home has always been open to friends and the pets they've taken in over the years. They are truly the kind of people who make you feel at home and cared for and are always willing to extend a helping hand when you need it or even just lend an ear when you need someone to talk to. And the many parties they've thrown have helped keep our friend group together when life and growing up would have pulled us apart. I was lucky enough to witness their wedding a decade ago and getting to celebrate their love and commitment again at their vow renewal, ten years later, is such an honor. Their friendship means the world to me and I couldn't be happier to be part of this special moment with them.

Jessica Crosby

Bridesmaid

I met Keri and Ryan in ye Olde Days of college when the primary friend pod we hung out with were managing their youthful disasters and learning to be human. As a disaster myself, I perceived them to be the elder statesmen of the long term couples. Practically married already and acting a step above in terms of commitment to each other. It's been very cool to be apart of their lives and grow up together. It's special to have friendships at all that last this long and I love them so much. Ryan is a good man. He is my go-to for interesting hobbies and rich conversation. Keri is a requirement to increase the enjoyment of any social event. She has an energy and presence that has been missed since I left Atlanta. Their powers united have supported friends in need, allowed family to weather emergencies, and provided a home for their many pets. Their commitment is still evident, and I'm so happy to celebrate it with them again ten years later. Love you guys!

Jessica Lee

Bridesmaid

I met Ryan and Keri in college. I remember being young and gabbing on a ratty couch about nothing. Somewhere in the middle, at beaches and long wedding weekends and every other stage of life, we've talked about everything, the great and the terrible. Last year, we sat in a basement and drank craft beer and chatted about nothing again. I love them—and their love over all this time—so much, and I'm happy to celebrate it together at every juncture.

Alma Zapata

Bridesman

Hi! I’m Alma and I’ve known Keri and Ryan since college. I can’t believe it’s been almost 20 years. It’s been a joy to grow up and experience life alongside them, to watch them weather both difficult hardships and good times together. I trust them and love them with all my heart. I look forward to many more years with them and am honored to celebrate their love!
