Wedding Party
Kirsten Kram
Matron of Honor
Kirsten and Nikki met at the age of 2 years old and have been inseparable ever since. The two grew up together while attending the same preschool, elementary, and middle schools. While attending different high schools, they became creative with how to spend time together. They worked their first jobs at Kirsten's family owned equestrian center and spent most weekends staying up late and watching movies. Years later, it is not surprising that the two have pursued the same career path. They are finally living in the same city again and it appears not much has changed as they spend most weekends together having sleepovers and movie nights.
Greg Bertha
Best Man
Greg and Chris met on the day Greg was born, one day prior to Chris' 2nd birthday. The two-year difference in age meant that they shared a great deal of experiences while growing up. As with many siblings, they had their high and low points as kids and adolescents, but have grown very close in their adult lives. Their parents would tell you that Chris is the "head" in the family, and Greg is the "heart." Greg is one of the kindest people you will ever meet and he often goes out of his way to help others. His love of people is rivaled by his love for music, and Greg has more than a little skill with a guitar, banjo, and even bagpipes!
Lauren Vallejo
Maid of Honor
Lauren and Nikki have been attached since the very beginning. As cousins, the two share countless childhood memories, and now as adults, they have created a bond tighter than ever. Lauren and Nikki have traveled the world together for the past 5 years. The two are never at a loss for fun, and are usually laughing to the point of crying when around one another. They often get asked if they are twins, which is probably the most accurate term to describe just how in sync they are with one another.
Joel Morgenstern
Groomsman
Joel and Chris met in 2002 at Georgia Tech. They were friendly in college, but became much closer in 2007 when Joel joined Chris in the house Nick purchased in Atlanta. In 2012, Chris moved away and so did Joel, but the two have remained close and made efforts to get together in different cities across the country. Their times hanging out together are best characterized by a lot of standing around and trying to look taller than most everyone else (Joel is better at this than Chris is). Joel is a deep thinker and a great host who is sure to keep the fun going for our group in Mexico!
Nick Jordan
Groomsman
Nick and Chris met in 2002 at Georgia Tech. They joined the same fraternity and were friendly in college, but became much closer in 2007 when Chris moved back to Atlanta and into a house Nick purchased in north Atlanta. The two grew close in their time together and their friendship has remained strong even after work opportunities took Chris to Texas. There are too many memories to share, but some of the best times were trips around Atlanta and outings to Hilton Head. Nick is a fantastic storyteller who knows how to work a room. He's sure to help us all have a great time in Cabo!
