Sister of the bride, there’s probably no one who has more embarrassing and hilarious sister stories than Jane. Loyal, responsible (much more so!) and always down for a travel or food adventure, Jane has been massively impactful to and supportive of Jenny’s hunger for adventure. Going on a trip overseas and need recommendations for site-seeing, hiking and dining? Jane’s your gal!

Jenny’s oldest and dearest friend, Deirdre has seen all of Jenny’s “phases” - yes - including the aggressively emo phase when Jenny had red highlights and long bangs. Deirdre and Jenny met in 3rd grade at a summer drawing camp held by a local university, but they didn’t have cell phones back then, and Deirdre went to school in a neighboring school district. By a stroke of luck, they reunited in middle school, visited each other in college, and they’ve been inseparable ever since!

Before John, Jenny’s heart was already full with work wifey love with Lauren. Lauren was Jenny’s safe space in the company, and was always there for her when she needed a good vent session, or needed to grab that 7th cup of coffee. Lauren and Jenny even auditioned for The Voice together (though they’re not famous just yet)! Weeks before Jenny expressed her feelings to John, she brought the topic up with Lauren, and Lauren’s only response was “John never responds to anyone on the office messenger. If he’s responding to you, he definitely likes you!”. That was the support Jenny needed to finally spill the beans!

Luke is the brother Jenny never had - someone who’s always been there to drive her home from work functions, someone who’s always down to order another round of beers at 2am, and the one and only person Jenny’s ever made a pact with to quit a job together. Luke is wittier, funnier, and 200% more hippie than Jenny, and also 300% more patient than Jenny - he has to be, with the amount of bother she has in her system! If you need any rafting tips, or want any marketing-related dad jokes, Luke’s your man!

John shares the same first name and middle name as the groom, so he’s automatically pretty cool! John also worked at the same Boulder advertising agency as Luke and Jenny, and was one of the first to reach out to Jenny to welcome her into the fold. Bonding over electronic dance music in their “wub wubs” office messenger group chat and greeting each other with “suh dude”s, if Jenny were a bro, this would be a classic bromance.

Pancho is possibly the nicest human Jenny’s ever met. A friend of John’s brother and best man, Sam, Pancho shares the same kind of love for electronic dance music and headbanging as John and Jenny. Pancho is sunshine, and possibly one of the smartest academics who will never brag about his own accolades. If you need one of the world’s best hugs, Pancho is of the top echelon (and so is Sam, John’s brother!).

Brother of the Groom, Sam manifests fun. Close as young kids, Sam was John’s World of Warcraft buddy, and as an adult, Sam is the go-to resource for all things music, festivals and bottomless brunches. He has a glowing charisma and is often the group leader or party host! Sam has been there through the entire relationship - John introduced Jenny to Sam before they even talked about liking each other - and with open arms, Sam made Jenny feel comfortable, accepted, and ready to party! Even living thousands of miles away, Sam and the #jteam have kept the party vibes alive by skiing, going to concerts, and chilling at Lake George together.

Reeves and John go way back, having met while spending summers together at the Lake George Club. They’re inseparable and they lived together during the summer of 2009. Their mannerisms are so similar, no one knows who started what first, but one thing’s for sure - if you put them in a room together for 30 minutes, they’ll start to sound exactly like each other! Fast forward to today, Reeves is John’s first call when he’s visiting the lake. Loyal, kind, and cheeky, Reeves always lights up the mood and gets everyone laughing. If you need a good laugh, or interior design tips (he’s amazing!), Reeves’s your man!

A fellow Skidmore College Wombat (ultimate frisbee), Nick and John met in college and took several business classes together. Always up for a party or a late night out, Nick is the perfect example of “work hard, play harder”! Their friendship grew even stronger while living in NYC, going to concerts together, grabbing brunch together, and exchanging anime recommendations.

Another fellow Wombat, Jeff was one of 3 of John’s college roommates. While both studying abroad in Europe, they enjoyed a trip to Istanbul together, and also met up in London to grab some late-night kebabs. Quick as a whip, Jeff knows pretty much everything there is to know about car racing and cars. He even brought John to his first auto-cross and Formula 1 races!

Another fellow Wombat and college roommate, Max is easily the most calming and soothing presence you’ll ever experience! During college, Max, John and Evan came up with the idea of launching a radio show called the “Toasted Raggamuffin with Butter Show” - just 3 college bros connecting over their love of all things reggae. Now living in Oregon and finishing up getting his phD, Max is well on his way to becoming the wine connoisseur of the group - John is so excited to visit him in Oregon someday to get the full wine tour!

Evan’s another fellow Wombat, college roommate and reggae radio host. He’s got a proclivity for identifying birds (Jenny has an album of random bird photos she still needs to show him to help her identify some of the unique species in Colorado), and shares a love of music with John. While in college, he and John would often play guitar together, and on top of that, their parents are huge jam band lovers and often go to shows together. The love for music runs deep in both families!
