Maid of Honor
Tori and Ceirra met in fourth grade and the adventures haven't stopped since! She gets the title of Maid of Honor for not only being a great friend, but also because she is invincible (which might come in handy). She once broke her ankle at a bar and kept the party going! She, unfortunately, spent the next six weeks in a boot, but we sure did have a great time!
Best Man
He says he's 6'5. He's also the best man. One of these statements is true! Elliot and Dennis met in Polish class at Michigan, and quickly realized they had a lot in common, including having conversations as loudly as possible, fighting over the aux cord until someone rips it in half, and listening to deep cuts by the Cantina Band. Through it all, Elliot can always count on Dennis to have his back.
Bridesmaid
Backseat driver since she was 12. She gets it from our dad. Roz claims that Tori was the bossy sister growing up. Surely no one could believe that!
Groomsman
He's the modern day hunk of the group.
Bridesmaid
Clare once came to Chicago to visit and ended up using Bumble Friends to hang out with people because it was past Tori's bedtime. Some would say she's the fun sister.
Groomsman
Please alert this newly-minted dad if you spot any overcooked or under-seasoned meat; he knows right where to put it.
Bridesmaid
Do we call her with all of our pharmacy questions? Yes. Would she be happy to answer YOUR pharmacy questions? Yes, but never look at her directly and only speak when spoken to.
Groomsman
Elliot and Erich have always been fierce friends, and even fiercer competitors. Growing up, Elliot used to absolutely embarrass Erich in backyard wrestling and mini hockey.
Bridesmaid
Julia is always tappin' her toes to the beat, especially to songs named Broccoli. Please keep coffee away from her - she's in treatment for her Starbucks addiction.
Groomsman
Looking for a contractor to put a sauna in his corvette.
Bridesmaid
Country music and tacos, Kristen knows how to speak our language!
Groomsman
You can call him Mr. S (if anyone gets out of line, he's got no problem smackin' em in the head).
Bridesmaid
Natalie always has our back with the latest in fashion and music, especially if the music is the soundtrack to Tim Allen's critically acclaimed The Santa Clause. Natalie also single-handedly keeps Elliot's dream of being a standup comedian alive (the rest of us don't understand).
Groomsman
Don't let his love for sweater vests over button downs over polos fool you, he's the life of the party!
Bridesmaid
From going to see the latest Avengers movie during finals to taking a 6:00 a.m. spin class and then promptly waiting in line for the new Chick-fil-A to open, Clara is always up for an adventure (or torture, which is exactly how we describe spin class). We are also arguably marrying the same person. We'll let you figure that one out.
Groomsman
Will probably hand-sew his tuxedo, stuffed with homemade bread in his pockets.
Bridesmaid
There was a fight about which side of the wedding party she would be on. . .Tori won. We love April because she enjoys the simple things: queso fundido and tequila in an ice shot glass.
Groomsman
Although he lives in the south, this yankee misses living in New York City and watching his beloved Patriots.
Bridesmaid
After a career in Broadway's "Annie," Kelsey's naturally taking her musical talents to big law, where she'll serenade jurors and judges alike to sweet songs of mass tort litigation set to "Hard Knock Life." On a more serious note, Kelsey is one of Tori's best friends (and former law school support system) and is also 100% the reason we met each other. We couldn't be more grateful!
Groomsman
Blessed with the voice of an angel, you've never heard someone sing Central Michigan's fight song with such grace and beauty.
Bridesmaid
The real OG - sneaking out of the house since 2009 (sorry mom and dad)! Ellie is also the only person in this wedding party who appropriately appreciates a good Tyler Perry movie. Most of our high school problems (breakups, wisdom teeth removal, and all other forms of HS drama) were solved with a Tyler Perry movie night!
Groomsman
He's never blacked out a day in his life. Falling asleep at the bar . . . well, that's a different story.
Ring Bearer
Our first and favorite nephew!
Groomsman
Rob spent your tax dollars shipping his lifted Wrangler around the world.* *Thank you for your service.
