Wedding Party

Grace
Grace - Maid of Honor
I'm in 12th grade and, as Hannah's younger sister, I have known Hannah since birth (although the first three years are a little fuzzy). We're best friends and have been through everything together, from playing with stuffed animals to directing and starring in our own movies to trying (key word: trying) new recipes to exploring new places together.
Forrest Smoes
Forrest Smoes - Best Man
I'm living in Mahomet IL, and I love the outdoors, hand crafting things, and spending time with my family. We've grown up together since middle school cross country, and our friendship grew as we shared some of the same interests, took the same classes, and continued to run together for the school team. Since high school, despite being separated by many miles of distance, we always made time for each other and have maintained a great friendship.
Carrie
Carrie - Bridesmaid
My name is Carrie from Cary (NC) and I met Hannah as a kid, and we have gone through the many ups and downs of life together. Some of my favorite memories together: our summers exploring downtown festivals, ordering milkshakes from Cook Out that have about 10 different ingredients, eating way too many sandwiches on Cow Day, and exploring the wilderness where Hannah always so bravely and selflessly got rid of all the spiderwebs because I was scared.
Jack Hyde
Jack Hyde - Groomsman
I live in Chicago with my high school sweetheart along with my cat and puppy, working as an engineer. I've known Ethan since middle school cross country, and we've stayed close all through college. His posture towards living just invites great memories, whether it’s cooking or running or deep conversations about faith, and I am so thankful for our long friendship.
Esther
Esther - Bridesmaid
I met Hannah through the Ballroom club at Cornell. As the two seniors who joined as beginners, we bonded quickly at weeknight practices overnight competitions and overnight competitions. Outside of ballroom, we went salsa dancing a lot! But I’d argue we had the best time off the dance floor: drinking wine together (for context, we were taking a Cornell-famous wines class), baked nian gao for lunar new year, and spent spring break in Boston. My first real dimsum experience (with the carts) was with Hannah in Boston where she ordered chicken feet for me.
Ryan Evans
Ryan Evans - Groomsman
I'm from the small town of Neoga, IL, but am living in Indianapolis, IN with my wife Maddie, along with out two goats and three chickens. Ethan and I went to college at Rose-Hulman together, and were roomates whenever Ethan wasn't interning or studying abroad. Ethan and I have had a lot of memories I fondly remember, mixed in with a lot of just general day to day memories that have all blended together to form a soup of good feelings and fun times.
Jessie
Jessie - Bridesmaid
I am a 2nd year medical student at Case Western in Cleveland, Ohio. I was lucky to meet Hannah in high school in North Carolina. Some memory highlights together include: sassing our statistics teacher (daily), being the most chaotic partners for Science Olympiad, and watching Hannah, Sam, and Grace (aka the triple threat) play at her senior violin recital.
Benedict Wong
Benedict Wong - Groomsman
I'm Benedict, a Singaporean, and I work as a software engineer by day, and enjoy cooking and working with my hands, whether it be working on a car or engraving. Ethan and I met in college, and bonded by cooking together in our fraternity kitchen, singing and chatting happily while we cooked. I'm honored to be Ethan's friend, and have the utmost respect for his character, generosity and love for those around him.
Katelyn
Katelyn - Flower Girl
I'm Hannah's cousin. I'll be a 1st grader this August. Hannah is one of my best friends in the whole wide world! I love to make books, and she always be my loyal reader. She can always come up with silly games to play with me. She taught me what LIFE is (a board game) and how to make gingerbread cookies. I love her very much.
Ian
Ian - Ringbearer
I'm Hannah's nephew and I like to fish. I like showing Mr. Ethan and Hannah A-yi pictures and videos of the fish I caught. Mr. Ethan gives the best piggyback rides and I like how we exercise together. Hannah A-yi's says the best jokes that kids can understand. I'm excited to be their ringbearer.
Lucas
Lucas - Ringbearer
I am a 3rd grader and live in Maryland. I am nice, curious, and silly sometimes. I love to read, play video games, and taste all kind of food (my favorite is sushi). Hannah is my oldest cousin and I like to hang out with her because she is caring and funny. I am very happy to be part of Hannah and Ethan’s special day.
