Best friend of the groom and man about town. He and Chris first met at a job years ago, where they bonded over their shared admiration for Arnold Schwarzenegger. Long live the Austrian Oak!

Cheryl and the bride met at college where Cheryl's outgoing and indefatigable spirit got Kirsten to explore the Big Apple (including the Bowery!) and actually stay out past her bedtime. She is a dedicated and generous friend, sometimes to a fault; but Cheryl probably wouldn't have it any other way.

Sister of the groom, Maureen is the photographer behind our phenomenal engagement photos! Her quiet demeanor belies an adventurous spirit. She and her husband have been known to compete in marathons and have even sky dived!

Younger brother of the bride, Ryan will be giving his sister away in his father's place. He's a devoted husband, proud girl dad, and raconteur bar none. His sister still resents the fact that he doesn't need glasses and can get a tan. So not fair.

Marlaina and the bride have been dear friends (family, really) since they were both two years old. Marlaina has a kind heart, an infectious laugh, and the soul of a pioneer woman: she once chased off a black bear while pregnant with her first daughter! Kirsten looks forward to them growing old together.

Tuhina and Kirsten became friends during their years as roommates while Kirsten pursued her doctorate. Tuhina introduced Kirsten to the joy of Bollywood movies and the delight that is gulab jamun. They share so many in-jokes, the practically speak in code. AKAAAASH!

Friend and colleague, Monique's insightful nature and wicked sense of humor (ever seen a psychologist dressed as a hotdog?) have always been a joy to be around. Kirsten just wishes it didn't have to be through Zoom these days!

Amanda and Kirsten also started as colleagues where their shared love of cats and weird YouTube videos blossomed into friendship. Fun fact: Amanda WILL climb over you to get away from a bug!.

Niece of the groom, Madison is a gymnastics and jujitsu maven. You don't want to meet her alone in a dark alley. Actually, she's a sweetheart... just be careful.

Due to circumstances beyond her control, Maggi will not be able to attend Kirsten and Chris' wedding. Nonetheless, as the bride's sister-in-law, she is integral to celebrating this milestone in Kirsten and Chris' life and so the couple want to give her a loving shout out!
