Wedding Party

As you can tell by the number of people involved on our wedding, we're blessed to be surrounded by some amazing friends and family. We thought it'd be nice for you to know a bit about them and see their faces before the big event.

The Ladies

Caroline Caroline is the best sister anyone could ask for! She will serve as the Maid of Honor and is the only person Mary Frances could envision standing beside her on the wedding day. The two have always been close so it's good that Caroline still lives in Atlanta so the fun times together can continue.

Catherine Catherine is a cousin of Mary Frances. She lives in Atlanta with her husband, Bill, and their two adorable children, Andrew and Emily. Catherine has acted as a big sister to Mary Frances and the two have always been close.

Jessica Jessica attended Furman University with Mary Frances. She lived in Atlanta for a short time after college before being summoned to Washington, DC to help plan events for all the big wigs there. Mary Frances tries to learn from her sense of style and fashion and has always been her #1 fan!

Jane Jane and Mary Frances were high school friends and then college roommates. They share many fun memories of times at the beach, lake, mountains...you name it! Jane lives in Greenville, SC with her husband, Heath.

Erin Erin is a native of Kentucky who became friends with Mary Frances during their years at Furman University. She lives in Greenville, SC with her husband, Mac. Erin and Mac are the most talented dancers and have even tried to teach Mary Frances and Eric some fancy steps for their first dance.

Margaret Margaret and Mary Frances met at church and have been part of the same Bible study group for years. They lived together for two-and-a-half years and proved to be great traveling partners, even venturing to Hawaii together! Margaret and her husband, Adam, married last summer and are living in Atlanta.

Kate Kate became a good friend of Mary Frances during their days at Camp Rutledge. They attended Furman together before returning to Atlanta. They have learned how to conquer the Magic Kingdom by riding every ride and seeing every show.

Sara Sara is Eric's sister-in-law and the wife of Best Man, Nels. She has been known to throw parties that involve eating miracle berries and sucking on lemon wedges. She sometimes eats ice cream for breakfast.

The Gentlemen

Nels Nels is Eric's only brother and will serve as Best Man. Eric looks up to him in all matters except for the fact that Eric is taller. Nels lives in San Antonio, TX with his wife, Sara, where he wastes time teaching economics instead of scouring the town for good taco trucks.

Isaac Isaac is Eric's best friend from Kenyon where they were roommates for two years. Isaac and his wife, Mariko, live in Beaverton, OR where he is a librarian and assistant professor. Never challenge him or Mariko to a game of Scrabble. Never.

JP JP is Mary Frances' baby brother and the big man on campus at Georgia Southern University. As much as he tries, he is no match for Eric at ping pong.

Bradley Bradley comes in first as Eric's favorite bearded cousin. Don't be caught admiring his beard while playing Wii, however, as he will make a fool out of you. He lives in Corvallis, OR with his wife, Andrea, who is great at recommending books.

Joshua Joshua is another of Eric's cousins. He recently graduated from Oregon State University and is continuing his studies in a master's degree program there. He is probably the best basketball player among the groomsmen.

Manoj Manoj is Eric's roommate and partner-in-crime when it comes to exploring Atlanta's taco scene. Though he was born and grew up in Maryland, he is often accused of being Canadian since he went to school in Montreal and is obsessed with hockey.

Mike Mike is a good friend of both Eric and Mary Frances. When he's not busy with his Executive MBA program he's a good candidate for great conversation and insight into life's big questions.

Drew Drew is also a friend of both Eric and Mary Frances. He loves outdoor fires, fast cars, and bacon. He claims to be the person who first introduced Eric and Mary Frances.

The Ringbearer

Andrew

Andrew is the son of Mary Frances' cousin, Catherine. He is not easily impressed, however he is very impressed by Eric's height.
