These friends and family have walked beside us through so many moments, big and small, and now they'll walk with us as we begin this new chapter together.

the wedding party

Joshua geer

November 2000: Josh is welcomed into the world by big sister Jordan. He'll only have to wait another two decades to meet his future brother-in-law

Brianna Macleod

March 2000: Brianna and Ian are ready to roll out! As little sister, Brianna easily claims her spot as Ian's oldest friend.

Laurita Salguero

September 2014: Laurita and Jordan coordinate outfits for a theme day in high school. They met two years earlier at freshman band camp, and since then, Laurita has committed to memory every embarrassing story that might make for a good wedding speech.

maid of honor

carlos ochoa

September 2016: By the time the first football game of the year came around, Carlos had earned the title of first friend that Jordan made in college. Little does she know that Ian and Carlos had actually met weeks earlier, securing the right to say "i met him first" for the rest of their lives.

m hale

December 2017: Hale and Jordan celebrate a successful football season, at least for the band. Despite their late start compared to the rest of the wedding party, Hale had no trouble securing "friend for life" status.

Kelvin boateng

August 2016: Kelvin enters the scene during Rice's orientation as a fellow mean squirrel. While neither the cargo shorts nor Ian's hat were in style at the time, they're sure to make a comeback.

meagan pow

April 1998: Meagan and Chelsea meet their brand new cousin Jordan, making them the first and second members of the wedding party. Meagan managed to nab first place thanks to being the only non-infant in the group, therefore able to process what was going on at the time.

jonny lovett chapman

November 2017: While Jonny and Ian have spent most of their time to date discussing video games (including only half-listening during matriculation), they make sure to pose and look their best at Esperanza, Rice's annual fall formal.
