The Groom and this guy go way back. Older by just two years, Michael and Charlie have always been best buds. From the playground football games to the younger brother's wedding day, I can't think of anyone better to be standing by my side on the biggest day of my life.

Anders and Michael have been friends since 1st grade. Through going to different high schools, colleges, and living in separate states, their friendship has proven to be stronger than any obstacle. Despite looking like Rafe Cameron, and being impossible to play rocket league with, he's my guy for life.

Ethan and Michael go back to Bowie Soccer in 5th grade. Their friendship grew a lot as they grew older, especially during the pandemic. They spent most days during the pandemic playing video games and chatting on the internet. Both passionate sports fans, Ethan always has something to say about my hot takes. But there was never a doubt I'd want him included on the big day.

Jacob entered the party later than the rest, meeting Michael in his late high school years when the legendary Blackhawks FC soccer team was created. Jacob and Mike began spending much more time together at hangout sessions at Jake's house (which was objectively the best) Jake was always there for Mike, and the first person to reach out to check on him if he needed anything during the hard times, and the first to congratulate him during the good times. I'll be excited to see Jake dressed up in a suit standing next to me, but I'll be the one wearing a bowtie, so no bowtie Jake

Jonathan and Michael also met on that soccer team in 5th grade, (same one as Ethan) known lovingly throughout his life as popcorn chicken, Carlos, and many other names, Jonathan has been a part of Michael's life for quite a while. Jonathan and Mike are the jokesters of this friend group, one of them was always keeping everyone laughing. Hopefully this wedding can compare to Kephriicon.

Martha has been Regan’s best friend since they found each other sophomore year in high school! After realizing Regan was more than just easy to tease, Martha put in work to get her out of her shell and experiencing the world! Martha’s love for The Office drew Regan in, but her loyalty and party planning capabilities make her a perfect Maid of Honor.

Harley and Regan became friends in 5th grade, but became closer in high school when we had friends in common. Always so organized and ready with random dumb facts no one asked for, Harley has acted as the honorary secretary of our friend group, keeping tabs on all of our “good” ideas throughout the years. She keeps me grounded and will always be honest with me, making her the perfect Maid of Honor.

Clara was a part of the friend group in high school, and has always made an effort to stay in touch and show up to things, no matter how far she lived! Clara has always been so uniquely herself and Regan loves that about her, hoping one day she could also be so confident and carefree. Clara’s fun-loving personality and positive attitude make her the perfect bridesmaid!

Marybeth is one of Michael’s sisters. She is so kind and caring, always offering to take pictures for people (even if it means standing on a transformer for the perfect shot). Mar is a girl’s girl through and through, a necessary component of a wedding party!

Grace is Regan’s oldest niece. Watching Grace become the beautiful lady she is has been so amazing. Regan is excited to see her in a new light in this adult role! Grace’s young perspective help Regan keep with the times, but her nurturing attitude make her a mature and necessary member of the wedding party!
