Man of Honor #1
Pierce understands the true essence of my soul and knows that I may be hiding a Publix Tiramisu or sub in my purse at any given moment. Care packages from this gem of a human have included bags of Haribo gummies and a Squatty Potty. If he weren't gay, we would probably already be married to each other by now.
Co-Best Man
My oldest brother. Introduced me to ninja warrior. Use to pick me up by my head.
Man of Honor #2
I love and hate this man as one would their most annoying brother. Except that I don't hate my brother even a little bit. But I also trust him more than anyone except maybe my mommy. Some of our best memories together include 3 am GrubHub binges from Daisy's Diner in Brooklyn, gaining up on Jana (and always winning), and swiping through Tinder on the Apple TV.
Co-Best Man
My older brother. I use to steal his clothes in middle school. Lucio main.
Bridesmaid
Traci got better grades than me at UVa even though I had a 4.0, which makes her like a nerd goddess queen of my heart. She is also my moral compass which I don't always follow but will forever emulate. Everything I do in life is at least partially for the purpose of not disappointing Traci.
Groomsman
Met in middle school. Shreds on the guitar. Can beat anyone at Tony Hawk Pro Skater.
Bridesmaid
Monica and I used to work together in D.C. on the night shift in the newborn ICU and there was always some crazy shit going down. Think Grey's Anatomy but with babies. And less surgery. And more babies. Monica is super smart and scary, she is like 4 feet tall but she knows Krav Maga or Jiu-jitsu or something like that so just be nice to her.
Groomsman
Met through Lee. Fluent in one language but speaks many. Mostly vegan. All man.
Bridesmaid
Jana somehow had an even crazier dating life in NYC than I did, even though I went out with Martin Shkreli at one point. She knows my heart and sends me miniature derp animals from her travels. If you don't know what derp animals are, ask me later. Jana cooks really yummy vegan food and is the most empathetic person I know. You should be friends with her.
Groomsman
Met in high school and bonded over filming. The little brother I never had. Loves schwip schwap and Milka.
Bridesmaid
When Debra and I first met when we were like 15 years old or something, we each thought the other was a total asshole. Now we are 30 years old and we each think the other is a total asshole. I think this is the foundation of what will be an everlasting friendship. There is nothing off-limits to say to one another. A loyal friend with a heart of gold.
Groomswoman
Met in middle school at a band event. Closest female friend / Bosnian. Will always bond over making fun of Lee.
Bridesmaid
I once vandalized someone's Benz in an act of vigilante justice on Jenna's behalf. This cost me a couple of awkward confrontations, an awkward confession, and about $500 in repairs. But it was so satisfying and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Because look, I still have a picture of us eating ice cream at my 6th birthday party.
Groomsman
Met during high school at Trop Smoo. The camping buddy who does all the cooking. Has broken a lot of things on his head.
Bridesmaid
Melissa lived down the street from me in Park Slope, Brooklyn and got me through the craziness of my first Peds clinic job. She gracefully modeled how to not be a stupid doctor. Also packed my entire kitchen into boxes in like 5 minutes for my move to Florida and NOTHING BROKE. This woman is a keeper.
Groomsman
Met in high school through Jacob. Is both a Doctor and a Professor. Creates amazing hibachi meals (w/ yum-yum sauce.)
Officiant
Met freshman year of high school. Bandmate / Rap Partner / Film Associate. Too many memories. All good. More to come.
