Shelby Bend - Bridesmaid
The one who knows too much. Shelby has been friends with Andrea since age 3 and often replaced her at the Hoflin dinner table. She has waited the longest for Andrea finally get married already.
Lyndsay Gundesen-McKay - Bridesmaid
The one who has been scheduling Andrea's travels and vacation time since the UBC days. She is more like family in Andrea and Michael's Calgary life and we love that.
Lauren Harms - Bridesmaid & Officiant
The one that made Winnipeg tolerable and Calgary feel more like home. The kind of neighbour that borrows a cup of sugar and returns with a baked good.
Karen Steenbergen - Bridesmaid & MC
The one that was there when Andrea and Michael met. The comedic relief and absolutely essential roommate through the COVID years. She could have been a bridesmaid or a groomsman, so she gets another role: MC.
Britta Antonsen - Bridesmaid
The one that is often confused for Andrea's sister. Andrea and Britta were roommates in Vancouver, giggled their way through many hikes and climbs (all the way to NZ and Australia) and experienced Dirty Dancing together for the first time.
Nicole Aleong - Bridesmaid
The one whose giggle is etched into Andrea's brain. Nicole and Andrea worked together before becoming roommates, small groupies, and bonding over Finding Nemo binges.
Katie Sadowski - Bridesmaid
The one that accepted Andrea on her Calgary doorstep 6 years ago and has been reopening it ever since. She has the calendar invite ready to go for whatever craft night is calling.
Ryan McKay - Groomsmen
The one who is always willing to invite others out and try something new. From helping out with simple knot tying for a surprise outdoor movie to being the first real pun making competition I've had.
Justin Bujold - Groomsmen
The one who gave Michael his milk money and went through four years of engineering obstacle courses. From late nights of drinking sloooosh and studying to becoming the engineering mecha-bro groomsmen of choice.
Ralph Sadowski - Groomsmen
The one who knows his red wines, tech, and how to make every outing and life celebration a bit more memorable. He's as generous of a friend as he is a cool dad.
Dr. Jason Speidel MD, MASc, BASc - MC
The multifaceted doctor that will simultaneously treat your neurological condition and spitfire fun facts about upcoming Broadway hits. He has a greeting card for every occasion and a resume full of wedding gigs.
