It is without a doubt that Erin is proof that sisters can actually be born almost a year apart, from two different parents and live in different states. Jenn and Erin met almost 10 years ago on the very same website that she met Tyler, and they have been inseperable (as much as you can be when you life in two different states) since the first time they spoke. Jenn looks at Erin as her older sister that she never had, and is inspired by her everyday (even though she won't admit it... yet she just did). Their friendship has trimuphed through all of Jenn's stupid boyfriend decisions, and remained strong despite the distance.

These two share a compassion for writing and storytelling and love to gossip on the phone about their social network's happenings. While they have a least 1000 miles between them, these two never seem to stop sharing the laughs and those life changing moments. In fact, Erin was right there to witness Tyler's proposal to Jenn. :)

Two years ago she was lucky enough to stand up at Erin's own wedding (oddly enough a man she met through the same website... it's a trend...) and back in December of 2013 was granted the amazing blessing of becoming her son's, Liam, Godmother. She couldn't imagine this day without Erin, nor would she want to, and asked her right away to be her Matron of Honor.

Jenn knows without Erin's advice and friendship she would not be the person she is today. She is honored and extremely happy that Erin will be coming in all the way from Michigan to celebrate with Jenn and Tyler and party the night away!

When Jenn first starting teaching at Holy Name of Mary 4 years ago she didn't know anyone. It was nerve-wracking to walk into a new environment with no one to talk to or not knowing what to expect. It was over the summer that Christine had contacted her via e-mail and made that warm introduction into a life-long friendship. These two were the "dynamic duo" of the middle school floor, and while wreaking havoc was their primary goal they turned out to be pretty awesome teachers together.

Outside of teaching these two have been known to keep up their wild antics. Whether it'd be laughing for hours in Bob's mini-van because he went to the "boobie bar" (it was supposed to be bouy, but naturally they thought otherwise) or somehow becoming the worse flight-attendant ever (yet another board game that we had to break out), or running off to Build-a-Bear during their Parent Teacher Conference break... these two seem to always be laughing about something.

It wouldn't be a wedding if "Bearstein" wasn't there to stand up as Jenn's MOH. Even to this day this bride considers Christine one of her closest, craziest and best friends..  

Margaret is that Southern ray of sunshine that every girl needs as her friend. These two met 3 years ago when Jenn had started taking kickboxing and MMA training at Tiger Schulmann's. Right away Jenn knew two things:

1) They would be really good friends.

2) Margaret loved to sing... a lot... often...

While these two sometimes have opposite personalities, it's just what this bride needs to brighten up her day. Margaret is that awesome girl who calls you when you are down, is dangerous to shop with and has gotten more mani/pedi's then any of her friends combine. Throughout the ups and downs, Margaret has always been a constant and wonderful friend that Jenn would be silly to not have in her life. Even when Tyler proposed this southern belle was the first one at her house congratulating them both. They have become so close, in fact, that Margaret is getting married a month after... and Jenn will be standing up at her wedding as a bridesmaid as well.

Jenn loves spending time with Margaret and loves to have someone to share wedding planning ideas with! As always, she is excited to have Margaret stand up with her at the "I do's" and perhaps even sing a little tune at the reception.

These two kickboxers met 3 years ago at Tiger Schulmann's and haven't looked back since. They can be goof-balls most of the time, spending their grappling time usually laughing about something random. Though Bern isn't fighting too much anymore, Jenn still thinks she could punch her in the head as hard as she did the first time (which still isn't funny, Bern! I had my hands up!).

Bern and Jenn mostly have those random "let me just show up at your house moments" and will spend hours talking about anything. It's hard not to love Bern and even harder not to have her as your friend. Jenn enjoying spending time talking about nothing, or just randomly showing up at David's Bridal to try on wedding dresses that she just "happened to have" and "thought they would look good on you". There is nothing like being a real life Barbie.

Despite everything, Jenn is extremely thrilled to have Bern there to celebrate with her and Tyler.

This "California Kid" is practially the West Coast version of Jenn. They consider themselves twins, dangerous and family. And the odd part is they have never met in person. When you are sisters you just know. Sara and Jenn have been friends for nearly 9 years and met in the same version as Erin (that online thing is awesome!). They started writing stories together and soon discovered that throwing elevators anad causing problems wasn't the only things they had in common. Their sense of homor and drive for perfection was what these two athletes soon learned was something they shared.

Around the same time Sara and Jenn had gotten into MMA and boxing, and while they both are determined to fight each other one day... Jenn knows that her stand up game is no where near this boxing star (I can beat you on the ground though!). They can easily share texts about football, fighting and boys just as easily as saying "hello". This will be Sara's first visit to NY and Jenn can't wait to finally meet her twin.

Viv and Jenn have a relationship that Jenn wouldn't trade for anything. Even though Viv is graduating high school, and will become one amazing pro-fighter, Jenn still sees her as a little sister who she'd do anything for. Viv's spunky and outgoing personality will somehow get people lost in corn mazes (how long did it take us to get through that?), walking the edge of a pool (still looked like it was going to collapse) and jumping around in excitement.

Though they have not met—truthfully, they have not even had much of a chance to even talk—Jenn and Beth already have quite a bit in common with one another. First of all, they both know how strange and obnoxious Tyler can be (though they both love him to death.) Secondly, both of them spent the vast majority of their childhood playing basketball. Both of them athletes at heart, Jenn has no doubt whatsoever that, when they finally meet, they will have plenty to talk about.

Though they haven't met, Kinizie and Jenn have spent a fair amount of time chatting with each other online. Jenn is definitely looking forward to the day she meets Kinzie in person; she'll be sure to get all the dirt on Tyler.

Joey Kendrick and Tyler have been close friends ever since they spent two years in the burger-flipping trenches at McDonald's almost seven years ago. Since then, they have occupied various dwellings and myriad of worlds together as friends, party members, and even guild members. Just as Joey loves to burst in without thinking and draw the attention of every enemy within eyesight when gaming, he had no problem leaping into the fray when Tyler asked him to be his best man. An English major and literature lover until the end, Joey's best man speech will definitely be something memborable throughout the years.

Adam and Tyler have only met in person two or three times, but they have already become close friends. The very first time they met, they began the work of preparing Jenn's proposal. Featuring late night subterfuge in locales such as Wal-Mart and Maijer, they were able, together, to piece together in Michigan all the pieces necessary to allow Tyler to carry out his proposal to Jenn. After having played such an instrumental role in the wedding, it was only natural that Tyler request Adam as his second best man; naturally, he accepted.

Though he may no longer sport the mohawk and sticker-laden McDonald's poker hat he originally wore when they first met, Osmin's personality has not changed a single iota in the past seven years. Both of them avid lovers of science, and both with a penchant for Daft Punk's music, Osmin and Tyler's personalities complement each other well... especially when it comes to stomping enemies and/or competing players in online multiplayers (Guild Wars, Vindictus, Left 4 Dead, Terraria, and Minecraft are just a few of the titles that have been thoroughly enjoyed by both individuals.) While Tyler is more interested in repairing and diagnosing technology than the biology-minded Osmin, they have always and will continue to be very close friends.

If there is one aspect of their friendship that defines them the most, it is Jeff and Tyler's mutual love of music. Both lovers of percussion instruments, temporary members of the short-lived band "The Mandalorian Fistycuffs", and attendees of an amazing Rush concert played in Wichita, KS, music is a shared passion of Jeff and Tyler. Beyond that, both individuals are avid readers of the great science-fiction/paranoid dystopian author Phillip K. Dick. No matter the similarities, you can basically sum up their friendship by noting that Jeff is the Bunji Kugashira to Tyler's Brandon Heat.

One night, after a very eventful concert set, a group of people decided to take a trip to the Wichita mall. Within this group were Adam and Tyler who, before that night, had never met one another. In short, a conversation involving current work arrangements arose between the two, and, behold, it was discovered that Tyler was soon to start a new job none other than the same establishment where Adam was currently working: Lil' Bit of Paradise Casino. Upon the installment of his employment at the casino, Tyler became fast friends with Adam. With shared interests ranging from music to mobster films and the brilliance of Carl Sagan, any given shift at the casino was certain to be filled with hours of rambling conversation. Though distance may separate them, Adam and Tyler to this day continue to keep in contact with one another regarding their common interests.

Tyler and Mike haven't known each other that long, but it didn't take long for the two Planeswalkers to realize that they would be getting along just fine. Aside from their mutual affinity for video games, Mike and Tyler also both hold jobs in I.T. Tyler also had the pleasure of having Mike introduce him to the world of Dungeons & Dragons as his first dungeon master.

With experience in the hotel, culinary, and event planning industries, Nick is possibly the most qualified contributor of Tyler's wedding party. Though they may disagree on a certain artist's presence on the dance floor play list, they most definitely agree on one thing; a potato bar is an absolute must at this wedding.

Obviously, Trevor has known Tyler longer than any other member of the groom's party. They have both also held jobs as shift managers at the same McDonald's in Kansas, as well as spent time studying communications and journalism (although Trevor actually stuck with that major.) Whether it be Tyler bringing his brother root beer in the middle of class for his birthday, or Trevor agreeing to be a part of Tyler's wedding, the two have always taken care if each other.
