The Ladies

Standing on Amy's side in the wedding we have...

Adrienne Johnston
I met Adrienne when we were in college. We came in together as freshman but didn't become friends until our first trip to Australia in 2004. She's quirky and loves reading, knitting and watching horror movies. Her dream job is to be a puppeteer on Sesame Street.

Sarah Parker
I also became friends with Sparker on our first trip to Australia. Actually, it all started on a Starbucks run and a Grand National. Good times. Sparker is down-to-earth and grounded and loves people watching and always observes the little things in life with new intensity and humor. Her shoulders shake when she laughs and it's the darn cutest thing you've ever seen.

Aryn Henry
We go way back ... all the way to high school English class. That year we had a few classes together and became friends and solidified that friendship on the softball field. Aryn is married to Roy and they're perfect for each other in this crazy libertarian/republican Fox News sort of way. They have two kids, Isaac and Reagan. Aryn is the only person I know who can apply make-up and call a basketball game at the same time. It's impressive, really.

Aimee Tetreault
Second grade birthday party. That's where it all began. Aimee and I were attached at the hip for most of elementary school and middle school/junior high. We discovered the Beatles together. To this day she still "gets" me. She's a free spirit (just like me) who has mad rock climbing skills. Give her some chalk, rope and a sheer rock face and she's a happy camper.

Leah Faust
I met Leah at church back in the day after her family moved to Battle Creek from the Detroit area. I think we officially bonded sometime during my junior or senior year of college, and really solidified our friendship once I was in college ... lots and lots of heartfelt conversations over instant messenger. Leah loves art, musicals and dancing and is very good at all three. She is a fantastic graphic design artist - just wait until you get our wedding invitations! She made them. I told her things I loved and she ran with it. She's dating David, a quirky and hilarious carrot top. I think they should get married and have babies with asian features and red hair :-)

Standing on Jake's side ...

Sarah "Weez" Boley

Sarah is Jake's younger sister. She's 14 and in the 8th grade and totally rocks. She's into music (particularly the Beatles) and 80s movies like "Lost Boys" "The Outsiders" and the fantastic TV show "Freaks and Geeks." She loves John Francis Daley. She's really talented ... plays piano, french horn, sews, crochets, quilts, and is very intelligent. We like to make fun of commercials with funny voices. She'll be a ridiculously famous writer one day traveling the world and breaking hearts.

Samantha Murphy

Sam is one of Jake's closest friends. She's not normally this moody and dark ... but isn't that a hot picture?! Sam is currently pregnant and is just the cutest preggers lady you've ever seen :-) We actually went to high school together, but I didn't really meet her until I met Jake. Small world ... Sam loves movies and good music and good food, and has an impeccable sense of humor. That's why she's fantastic :-)
