Renee has a passion for cooking, scraping ice off her windshield while freezing her arse off, and Blink 182 despite their ups and downs throughout the years. Renee likes to sew sick-sophisticated-sleek-sassy items and making multiple trips to the grocery store each week. Renee is currently living in St. Paul, MN working at the University of Minnesota in Pediatric Hematology Oncology clinical trials.
Current shared interests: face-in-a-hole photo editing, spoiling their pets while also forcing them to snuggle, and blue moon ice cream that somehow ends up on their clothes.
Matt Becker - Best Man
Brother, role model, and former Ed Sheeran look alike Ben has known Matt his whole natural born life. Matt is the initiator of the great Becker migration to North Carolina, which brought the Becker Boys closer together than ever before. While the athletic genes were never in their favor with Matt's asthma and Ben's incredible lack of hand eye coordination, together they may make a halfway decent athlete. Matt is currently living in Charlotte North Carolina, and works as a Data Analyst for Spectrum (which does Ben no good since he has moved to Xfinity land).
Current shared interests include: Beer, sharing incredibly cute stories about their dog-daughters, and recounting hilarious stories of Mark and Marcia.
Mark Giannis - Best Man
Expert Greek folk dancer and econometrics II instructor. Mark and Ben met in college through the cross country team. Despite his incessant need to call Ben a hipster and his love for the Goldbergs they became quite good friends. Mark even walked over 900 miles to see him one time. Always down for a mediocre diner, Mark and Ben also share a mutual interest in Bojangles Eatery and Sandwich Company. Mark is currently living in Chicago (but not downtown), and working for someone doing something over Ben's head.
Current shared interests include: Running when Mark is injured, the TV show Scrubs, and jumping high 5's.
Andrea Edelhauser - Maid of Honor
Andrea is the red headed recessive Edelhauser sister. Growing up, Andrea required the most sun screen - yet was usually the burnt Bert of the siblings. Andrea has known Mia here whole life and is the one who influenced Mia's love of science. Her current passions are treat-yo-self food experiences, trendy clothes but refusing to pay full price, and biking the streets of San Francisco hoping to be picked up by a professional BMX team. Andrea has a passion for traveling and always has everyone questioning how often she actually works because of her exciting trips! Andrea is currently living in San Francisco, CA working as a labor and delivery nurse at UCSF.
Current shared interests: leaving each other screaming voicemails for fun, drinking champagne on a Wednesday, and comparing our ~model~ boyfriends careers.
Brandon O'Neal - Groomsman
Psuedo-sibling, couch crasher, and easiest-to-get-along-with-friend as reported in Ben Magazine (c). Brandon has known Ben almost as long as Matt has. They initially bonded over their mutual natural deep-seated inability to play little league baseball. They have since seen slightly better days such as: losing 2 ACLs, being pushed out of plane together, and Ben attempting to learn how to Floss from Brandon's step sisters (I'm going to leave that to your imagination for how well that went). Brandon currently lives in Plainfield Illinois and works as Manager for an engineering company for which he has passed on exactly 0% of his electrical engineering knowledge on to Ben.
Current shared interests include: Video games, Nachos, and Frolf.
Kelli Malott - Bridesmaid
Kelli and Mia first met in second grade after Mia moved from Ohio. Their relationship was off to a rocky start when Kelli came over after school one day and sat on Mia's precious lime green blow up chair. However, the incident was quickly forgotten about and thus began countless neighborhood bike rides, playing softball, and making up odd games in their backyards. Kelli is known as a Honorary Edelhauser Sister. Her current passions are rock climbing to achieve Spider-man like skills, science-ing away in the lab where her mice have become some of her best friends, and her dog Gordie! Kelli is currently living in Newport Beach, CA attending UC Irvine obtaining her PhD in reproductive toxicology. Current shared hobbies include using excessive adjectives and nouns to greet each other, science, and perfecting the microwaved nacho (note: do not put lettuce on nachos before you microwave).
Paul Bastian - Officiant
You can tell this is Paul Bastian by the way he is, he's pretty neat. A former professional swimmer turned master chef, his fate changed forever on one fateful October night when Paul had a skype interview to be the tallest roommate of Ben Becker. Based on the absurd sportswear Ben was wearing on his way to lose a kickball game and and Mia's cacophonous laugh Paul knew that these two would make most excellent friends. After living with Ben for a year, Paul upgraded to the much cleanlier casa Edelhauser life and got to enjoy the Mia and Ben relationship even when they weren't together. They managed to stay friends since even as Paul has abandoned his southern roots for a more northern identity. Paul is now attending attending medical school in the Electric City, to soon be America's Next Top Doctor.Shared common interests include: sharp things, science, and talking about Paul's lackadaisicalness.
Scott Meyer - Groomsman
Scott, Scotty, Meeeeesta Scott, the more beautiful half of the 'Gruesome Duesome', and McTurbs all describe this wonderful man. Ben and Scott met on the college cross country team as well and had the pleasure of sharing the resort room in Adams Hall as well as being on the clearly superior Lease A in their later shanty town house. Despite being for Marengo, Scott knows how to get down, and the last time these two hung out Ben laughed so hard be broke a rib (this may not be the complete truth but Ben much prefers this story). Scott is currently living in Phoenix Arizona and works in both education and real estate, because no one career can pin him down.
Current shared interests include: syrup shots, music, and silent laughing so hard that you cant breath and it hurts a little bit.
