Dana and Lauren have been super close since childhood, as sisters tend to be. As adults, they are constantly calling and texting each other with funny stories, new recipes, goat/ET photos, or just to talk about life. Dana was honored to stand as maid of honor in Lauren’s wedding and is so excited to ask her to do the same in her 2 weddings!

Dana and Vicki have been friends for 20 years after meeting 40 feet up in a tree! It’s a friendship that has had just as many crazy adventures since then. Whether it be on a beach, on a boat, on a hike, or on a bike, Dana and Vicki are always laughing and creating their next inside joke. Dana is so thankful that the Jimmy to her Justin is ready for wedding shenanigans across 2 continents!

Dana and Kathleen have been close friends ever since freshmen year of college where their friendship blossomed at Greek Conference. Since then, there have been lots of ups and downs in their lives, but their friendship has remained a steady constant. They never seem to get to spend enough time together but make every moment count when they do. Dana can’t wait to have “Kathy” by her side at the wedding. (Don’t call her that, seriously don’t, but Dana couldn’t resist the opportunity for teasing.)

Karuna and Leon have a cousin relationship so close that you would think they are siblings! They share many fond memories of spending the holidays in Goa growing up. As adults, they speak often and rely on each other for the honest opinion that only someone that truly knows you can offer. Dana loves watching the banter between them! It will be a joy to see that cousin duo together again at the wedding.

Leon and Will got to know each other after frequently running into each other on Davis Islands. Apparently new puppies (Leon) and new babies (Will) need equal amounts of fresh air and walks. The friendship has only grown from there, whether it be at a hockey game or golf cart parade! He even helped Leon with the proposal to keep Dana from suspecting anything. Leon is so honored that Will gets to be part of both weddings.

Nick is one of Leon’s close friends. Work colleagues in a past life, their friendship dates back to Leon’s work trips to Memphis, TN over 10 years ago. They are partners in just about everything they do: moving down to the Sunshine State in 2014, losing money together in crypto, and obsessing over audio equipment, BMWs, electric cars, and tech through the years. When he is not working on his home theater or building himself a solar powerwall in his backyard, Nick is enjoying his new life as dad to his beautiful princess Aurora Celeste!

Christopher is Leon’s cousin. Being on the autism spectrum, he usually has a very reserved personality. But put him next to Leon and you instantly see that the bond they share is indeed a special one. They were each other’s favorite people growing up, and remain so to this day. Christopher loves his music, especially Indian pop! Give him his pair of headphones and he is set for the day!

Jack is Dana's nephew and godson and is one of the sweetest 6 year olds that you will ever meet. Jack loves to swim and read about the Titanic. He is ready to take his job as ring bearer very seriously.

Luke is Dana's nephew and godson. He is one spunky 3 year old and will never cease to amaze you with his sense of humor. He loves playing outside and helping Grampy with any home repairs. You can count on him to bring a little sass to the wedding day.

Neel is Leon's cousin and one of the smartest and most talented kids we know. He is always happy to play you a little something on the violin. If you are lucky enough to make friends with him, he may just let you call him by his nickname, an honor reserved for those closest to him.

Rachel is Leon's cousin and a newly minted big sister. She is very kind and lovingly looks out for her little brother. Rachel is an avid reader whose wisdom is beyond her years. She will definitely be bringing some style to the wedding party.

Reese is Leon's goddaughter and the most adorable 2 year old. She is slow to be your friend, but once you get on her good side, she will brighten your day with her smiles. Be sure to look for one on the wedding day!
