It's almost official, most of our attendees have been asked

So, I wanted to publish a quick blog entry about those friends and family members of ours who have somehow agreed to stand up next to Matt and I when we marry in October.

Below is a breakdown of those idiots:

Matt's attendants

Matt Weiss: a friend of Matt's from his high school tennis-playing days and working at Action Territory Family Fun Park in Kenosha, WI
Tim Mortlock: Matt's closest-aged cousin, also known as Seaman Tim.
Kevin Mortlock: Matt's cousin & brother or Tim.
Bjorn Bedore: another friend of Matt's from his high school tennis-playing days in Kenosha
Owen Guerrero Reynolds: a cousin of Matt's from his dad's side of the family. (We haven't asked Owen yet, as he's in Nicaragua serving in the Peace Corps. Hopefully he doesnt see this before then. If so, hi Owen, would you like to be in our wedding?)


My attendants
Jen Bruch:
a friend of mine whom I met at my first job out of college in 2000. Jen, Teri and I lived together in Chicago for a year as well.
Megan Reynolds: Matt's younger sister, currently working as a snowboard instructor in Lake Tahoe, CA.
Megan Watson: a friend of mine from high school. Megs is currently due to give birth a week after our wedding, so we're hoping all goes well and she stays healthy enough to participate (but will not be upset if the baby decides to show up early) :)
Teri Kieffer: another friend of mine whom I met at my first job out of college. In addition to living with Jen, Teri and I lived together for a total of 3 years in Chicago.
Jamie Levey: a friend of mine who is one of a handful of girls who enjoys sports as much as I do. Jamie currently lives in Hermosa Beach, CA.

The ushers
Scott and Mark Patterson:
Brothers and Matt's cousins from his mom's side of the family

We are so looking forward to sharing our special day with everyone and are honored and grateful to have so many great friends willing to stand up with us.
