We are excited to introduce the people that are so dear to our hearts and will be standing by our side:
Bridesmaids
Monica Li
Maid of Honor
Monica's smile and laughter is contagious. She's the kind of person you call to just laugh on the phone with for no reason at all. Her talent and creativity in fashion led her to begin her own online jewelry boutique. She's my very best friend and sister my parents adopted.
Noelle Benedix
Bridesmaid
Noelle is Mike and Ricky's older sister and I'm so excited to have her as family too! Her huge heart and compassion for others is inspiring. She's a special education teacher and her dog, Halpert, has the best wardrobe of any pet I know. Her 'Time of My Life' rendition gave Jennifer Grey a run for her money.
Sarah Kelly
Bridesmaid
SarahKelly has the best first and last name combination. Her passion for travel and adventure brought us together in Argentina. She's an avid tea drinker, writes the best emails, and is currently studying speech pathology in grad school. She's fluent in Spanish and has lived in Mexico, Argentina and Spain!
Christine Wilson
Bridesmaid
Christine's wealth of knowledge and fervor for triumph makes her a perfect partner for trivial pursuit. Her passion for rollerderby landed her a spot on the Texas Rollergirls! She's a sports enthusiast and has a unique creative side when making crafts! She is also one of two witnesses to the Whiskey Dance.
Jessie Huang
Bridesmaid
We once spent hours brainstorming coffee flavored products that will make the world a better place. Jessie's one of my oldest and dearest friends. She's a brilliant medical physicist at MD Anderson and an all-time best baker! Not many people can say they traveled to Tibet, Alaska, and Mexico with their best friends!
Ring Bearer
Magee Mae
Magee has traveled across 15 states and lived in Philadelphia, Berkeley, Austin and College Station. She loves broccoli, blueberries and giving high fives. She's excited to come back to her home state to her Southern roots.
Groomsmen
Ricky DeGregorio
Best Man
Ricky's my younger brother. I've been witness to his many hairstyles and musical tastes through the years. His panache for hair and clothing started at a young age and informed his current - day profession as a talented hairstylist in Philadelphia.
John Benedix
Groomsman
When John isn't slappin' the blow-up base, he's teaching high school students computers and technology. My favorite brother-in-law has given me big shoes to fill for writing such amazing vows when he married my sister. I truly love the guy. Cheers everybody.
Joe Marwil
Groomsman
Joe and I met in graduate school at UPenn and have since perfected the art of annoying Kerry by endlessly quoting funny internet videos. Joe's a Kentucky boy, but has studied in Spain, hiked the Appalachian Trail, and been a ski instructor in Colorado. He's now a landscape architect in the bay area and still looks like he's 18.
Hunter Bretschneider
Groomsman
With a 3-point shot that rivals that of Sam Perkins, Hunter is a talented athlete and also a Wildwood All-Star. Our bond has strengthened through our mutual love of youtube videos and the boardwalk. Hunter is getting married just two weeks before us. Congrats!
Jeff Stein
Groomsman
Jeff is an avid sports fan and has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I know. With friendship forged on the basketball courts and the sandy beaches of Wildwood, Jeff is one of my oldest (and most frequently sunburnt) friends.
Reader
Cort Eidem
From being the college mascot, a physical therapist, a US peace corps volunteer in South Africa, Cort is now a landscape architect in Berkeley! He can rap the entire Will Smith's version of "Just the two of us" and once ran the Comrades marathon (56 miles!)
