The Wedding Party

Groom
Dylan is the one on the left!
Hannah Slotten
Maid of Honor
Hannah and Mary met in 1997 in Mrs. Brandenburg's kindergarten class and have been close ever since. The past 22 years have been full of solving Nancy Drew mysteries, eating frosting out of the can, and an amazing trip to Disney World together!
Eric Wind
Best Man
Dylan met Eric in high school back in Florida. They started hanging out again after college, and were roommates for a while in Chicago. There they built fond memories of adjusting to life in the big city and doing kind of a bad job at it. They love making music, playing billiards poorly, and getting into trouble.
Molly Cobb
Bridesmaid
Molly and Mary met in 2006 at La Follette High School. After sharing a class, they realized they lived down the street from each other. Thus began a friendship for the ages of late night talks, epic marathons, and sometimes inedible food adventures. Molly and Mary went to college together at the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point.
Meyer Levy
Groomsman
Meyer and Dylan met playing video games online when they were 14 and have been best friends ever since. Meyer moved to Florida for college, where he and Dylan both attended the University of West Florida and did dumb stuff together basically all the time. They continue to do dumb stuff together any time they are in the same room at the same time.
Rachel Sommer
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Mary met while in college at the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point. They lived together in college and in Chicago, where they tried and mostly succeed in many baking experiments, watched far too many hours of The Golden Girls, and tackled dozens of craft projects.
Max Marvin
Groomsman
Max is Mary's oldest brother (pictured here as the brother too cool to wear the matching Star Wars sweaters we got for Christmas). He is full of brotherly wisdom and has the world's softest kitty cat. He always has a ridiculous internet video to share, a recipe to try, and a big bear hug for those who need one.
Isabel Laperruque
Bridesmaid
Isabel and Mary met in college at the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point. They shared a house (along with Rachel Sommer) and had many nights of contemplating on the porch, roasting mini marshmallows over the stove, and making incredible (if structurally unsound) blanket forts.
Alex Marvin
Groomsman
Alex is Mary's middlest brother (pictured here as the leftest brother). He is a big old nerd with a big old heart. He has likely not called Mary by her real name since her birth, instead referring to her by a series of nicknames including, but not limited to, "Moobs," "Goober," "Marzlebuh," and "Ya Butt," among many others.
Polly McDowell
Bridesmaid
Polly is Dylan's younger sister. They met when Dylan was about a year and a half old, when Polly got born. They've been close ever since. Polly's looked out for Dylan since day one- one time she pile drove a kid who was bullying Dylan at the bus stop. Dylan has done his best to return the favor, but they're not as good at wrestling.
Eric Riggs
Groomsman
Eric and Dylan met in elementary school, and have been brothers (more or less) ever since. United by their weird senses of humor and shared love of good Thai food, their friendship has spanned the better part of two decades- a legacy that continues to inspire to this very day.
