Rachael and Nathan's most frequent visitor in London - the 5th visit will be the wedding!

Bridesmaid
Rachael and Jaime have been friends since before they could decide who they were friends with, they were childhood neighbours! Rachael and Jaime's families grew up together.

She is one of the sweetest people you could meet and always makes you feel at home.

Emily Brooks

Emily is the kind of friend you always want in your corner, she is empathetic, fun and one of the most caring people you could meet.
Tom Gower
Groomsman

Emma Segal
Bridesmaid
Emma and Rachael first met in elementary school where they realised that Emma had Biscuit's (Rachael's dog) mom! It was an instant connection and they became very close from middle school onwards. The best part of Emma and Rachael's friendship is that despite moving to different cities and being far apart, their friendship has only grown stronger with time. Emma is the type of friend who you can always call when you are down, need advice or want to have a laugh - she is thoughtful and one of a kind.
Will McKay
Groomsman

For only 24 hours in Nice, France, they laughed, climbed down waterfalls and exchanged contact information - little did they know that they would become besties! From backpacking Australia, Scotland, Portugal, and Spain together and visiting Rachael in NYC, Chelsea is Rachael's travel partner in crime. You can always count on Chelsea for a great banter, support and to encourage the adventure in life.
Ryan Burroughs
Groomsman
Ryan and Nathan met when Nathan started dating Ryan's sister.
Jennifer Hardin
Bridesmaid
Rachael and Jennifer met in kindergarten (Rachael's Mom always tells the story of Jennifer's big brown eyes!) Although she then changed schools, Rachael and Jennifer became really good friends in middle school. Rachael, Monica and Jen were besties and totally inseparable which led to Rachael and Jennifer living together for all of four years of college. The type of friendship that has seen everything, they have shared many adventures, stressful moments and great triumphs! Jennifer always knows how to lift you up when you are down (sometimes, with the best baked goods) and has the kindest soul- you couldn't ask for a better friend to have in your corner.
Heather London
Bridesmaid
Heather and Rachael became friends in second grade when Heather accused Rachael of having pointy ears and being a leprechaun.. thank goodness, that was not the case. From cheerleading, to being roomies in Mallory hall, volunteering in SC and parties at her parents' lake house (sorry Mr. and Mrs. Brunges), Rachael and Heather have been friends for more years than you can count. Heather is incredibly kind, reliable and you can always count on her to share her honest opinion with you (even if it means you are a leprechaun!)
