Sister and best friend of the bride. Favorite expression of the sisters? Sisters by chance; friends by choice. Always the bride's first call for anything and everything. Known for: laying down mid-hike and refusing to move, always being there, and speaking in language only she and the bride can understand. Not only brings the fun, but also fierce unwavering loyalty.

Bride's Best friend from College. Known for encouraging any and all bad ideas of the Bride (or coming up with them herself), GAMEDAYS, drinking enough red wine to forget the difficulty of Berkeley, and speaking in shrieks with the Bride. Currently resides in Japan, but distance will never change the Rick and Mo bond.

Bride's best friend from their time teaching next door in Hawaii. Known for epic dance moves, her love of adventure, and swimming in freezing water. Madison texted Amanda in May of 2021, saying she "had the guy for Amanda". Despite Amanda writing this off, Madison persisted and Madison and her husband Ben, introduced Amanda and Matt in 2021 at a baseball game.

One of the bride's oldest friends. First became friends in Middle School yearbook. Became best friends during High School when they both played field hockey and developed an "air-juggling routine". Still extremely close and recently went on a week-long trip to Banff, where they hiked everyday and got SOAKED camping at night in the rain...

Brother of the Groom. Die-hard Auburn fan, and travels all over the country to play competitive Ultimate. When Michael and the Groom are on the same soccer team they're 1 for 1 for championship trophies. (Middle school still counts).
