The Wedding Party

Rachel Wechter
Rachel Wechter - Maid of Honor
This is my biological sister Rachel. We are best friends! We went on a month long trip around the west coast, the first time leaving the country was together to Israel. Talking points include: Horror films or anything haunted. Talk about Margo. If you can really make her laugh she will be on the floor.
Alex Cook
Alex Cook - Best Man
I've known Alex for a long time. Maybe 2nd grade? I honestly don't remember, its been too long. I would say we're like brothers, but its deeper than that, because we were in a band too. We also spent a month together traveling Europe. Talking Points include music, video games, and outer space because Alex has a freaking PHD in Astrophysics.
Emily Graham
Emily Graham - Bridesmaid
We met in Kindergarten and then found each other again in 7th grade. We later found pictures of each other in kindergarten proving that we were friends. Talking points include: She was also on the month long trip across the West Coast. She has a now 1 year old in Barcelona( by the time the wedding comes around). I dated her brother.
Drew Schroeder
Drew Schroeder - Groomsmen/ Officiant
Oh Drew...I've known Drew since 1st grade(I think). He was also the 3rd member of the band. He also went to Europe. He's one hell of a guy and is going to be marrying us, so thats totally cool. Talking points include pretty much anything because Drew can talk to anyone, but bonus points if you bring up Golf, Teacher Stuff, and Being Loud
Alex Ballard
Alex Ballard - Bridesmaid
The wild card of the group. We have been on some amazing trips including a cabin in Bryson City, NC, obstacle course race in Muskegon, MI, and Louisvlle 30th birthday celebration. Talking Points include: Bougie restaurants, her fiancé has lived in Alaska for the past 2.5 years, and crazy shit she does when she gets too drunk.
Stu Hotwagner
Stu Hotwagner - Groomsmen
Stu came to our school in 3rd grade and we became inseparable for a good chunk of time. Stu, like me, followed a creative passion and often housed Alex and I when we went to Chicago to visit. Stu is almost as funny as me, almost. He is absolutely a brother to me, and I love him in the same way. I was honored to be a groomsman in his wedding and am honored to have him in mine. Talking points include anything funny, photography, film, traveling, and many many other things.
Danielle Rasor
Danielle Rasor - Bridesmaid
We have known each other since 1st grade. We grew up in the same neighborhood. We were in Brownies together. Talking points include- Our 10 day trip to Italy, she went solo traveling across Southeast Asia and she will make you laugh in the first 2 minutes of talking to her.
Goose
Goose - Groomsmen
His name is Michael. We call him Goose. It was a Top Gun reference taken way too far in high school. Goose is a great guy with many interests that I’ve known maybe longer than everyone. We lived down the street from each other for a while, and grew up side by side. Talking points include music, video games, and pretty much anything else.
Katie Reidy
Katie Reidy - Bridesmaid
After dating her brother, we stayed connected and our friendship grew. I am close to her whole family now. Talking points include: Harry Potter, movies quotes, scrapbooking, and when we were younger she taught me what getting “ Iced” at a party was.
Brian Brazill
Brian Brazill - Groomsmen
I’ve also know Brian since some time in early grade-school(see a theme here?). We used to have sleepovers in his basement and basically not sleep. We’d play video games, eat junk food, and have a great time. Brian’s been to many countries and is now a husband and father (which will never not be crazy to me). Talking points include traveling, food, smart people stuff, and video games.
Nick Graham
Nick Graham - Bridesman
On Sept 25th, while we are in Spain, Nick turns 30th! Don't forget to wish him a happy birthday! Talking points include-:Video games, crazy parties in Austin, vegan shit, and still not 100% sure what he does for a living so just start talking about coding.
Tyler Fox
Tyler Fox - Groomsman
Tyler was a later addition to the circle. And by later I mean freshman/sophomore year of high school instead of 1st grade. But Tyler is the friend I have been close to and see the most consistently since then. He’s also the only one in the wedding party that I’ve lived with. Tyler helped me form a large part of my current identity and life views. The picture above is Tyler with Marc Maron. Marc Maron won't be there, unless he is. That'd be cool. Talking points include film, music, and anything beyond small talk.
