She's got style, she's got grace! The sister that was blessed with beauty, height, math brains, and a sense of fashion. So what did she leave for her younger sister, the bride? Well, simply the honor of having the best older sister there is! (And a pretty decent right foot). Growing up, these two sisters couldn’t have been more different—but after a few resilient teenage years, the bride finally convinced Jessica she was cool. Now, watch them take over the dance floor together!

Our Gen Z Baby! Growing up with three guys, she's the boss lady of the family - standing on businessss so to speak. Having one overprotective brother (KJ, that is), she’s also become a fierce protector of her friends and family—and has the biggest heart. As another fashion-forward sister of the bride she's not shy letting the millennial know when something just isn’t it. Don’t let her grab the mic on the dance floor unless you’ve got earplugs.

You know that one person you meet as a teenager that you don’t have much in common with, but you’re like, “Hey, you’re cool—let’s be best friends forever?” And then the rest is history. Cissi is the bride’s hip-hop-dancing bestie since est. 2009 (or earlier—who knows). One sunny day, they were just besties. Don't let her request a song, unless you want to cry. Do let her show you her happy feet dance skills.

Not many days growing up were these two separated—classmates from grades 1–9, soccer teammates, and three years at the same high school. She also holds an active travel punch card to the U.S. for visiting the bridal couple. It’s safe to say many incredible memories have been shared (and a few tears over beers). A true ride-or-die girl—not only to the bride, but to all her friends and family. Don’t be scared if she showers you with love—that just means you’re approved.

The bride and Millie met their freshmen year playing soccer at NU. A fellow European, who now also reside in the US and married an American - it’s no wonder they clicked from day one! Living in Texas, the bride often visits and it's become a highlight week of the year as they drive around Houston binge-eating food. Best hosts ever! If you're bored, ask her to say "a bottle of water".

Confusion is one word for what happened at AIC when two blonde Swedish girls with the same name ended up on the same team, played the same position, were roommates, and even shared the same major. As if that weren’t enough, the bride and Johanna were inseparable everywhere else—so much so that some people genuinely wondered if they were dating. Nicknames didn’t help, either; they became known as Jo Squared, or Jo #1 and Jo #2 (often leading to debates over who was #1). Although the bride is Jo #1 for the wedding, Johanna (Nilsson) has always been Jo #1 and has been part of the bridal couple’s journey since the very beginning, back when they first met at AIC.

The younger brother of the groom Dr.McDreamy! Korey spreads joy all around the room, not only through his charm and warmth, but also with the guarantee that you have never heard a more infectious laughter. Growing up, just like the bride and her older sister, Korey and KJ could not have been more different. Now, their banter have turned into laughter and love instead of kicking in doors and chasing each other. Watch out for him as he takes the stage on the dancefloor, he knows how to shake it and won't hold back.

He’s an explorer, an adventurer, a cook, a reader, a poet, and a writer—what doesn’t this man do? Growing up in Florida and spending summers together, the groom and Cedric are more like brothers. And as the free-spirited solo adventurer he is, the strict rules at Victoria Lane during those summers are still something they laugh about to this day.

A man close to his heart, with a great sense of humor and a wonderful dad—not just to his children, but to the whole group. The Goonan house is the place to be, where you’re treated like VIP guests and always leave with bellies full of food and laughter. Our “man version” of Clara, he’ll remind you how much he loves you—especially after a couple drinks. Ask him, or better yet, ask the groom, about the story when he broke his leg during a football game (yes, the photo is of him in a wheelchair during that time). Fair warning: he might be tired of telling it, and sometimes the groom never will be.

The groom and Demetri can still talk and bicker about high school football stats to this day, though to some of us, it might as well be Greek. Ask KJ and Demetri separately who would win in a wrestling match, and you’ll get two very different answers. KJ’s never-ending delusion that anyone would believe him? Come onnn. And although KJ and Demetri sometimes act like a married couple, Demetri is always there for the bridal couple—especially to answer the groom’s never-ending FaceTime calls.

Also known as the bridal couple’s boyfriend—yes, to each of them. Nick and KJ go on more “dates” and spend more time on FaceTime with each other than the bridal couple does. How much can you talk about sports, you ask? Evidently, forever… but no complaints. Nick also takes Johanna out for food after golfing. Maybe after a few drinks, he’ll share his singing voice with you—unless he’s still haunted by stage fright from his high school basketball days.

The cool, calm, and collected heart of the Minnechaug High School crew. A loyal man to the bone, who would take the shirt off his back for anyone. Cool as a cucumber—until he would step into the face-off circle in lacrosse. But don’t let his now-kind, calm presence fool you: after curfews until he was 23 years old, this beast is fully unleashed on the dance floor… and free to go home whenever he wants.

Let us introduce your Toastmadames for the evening! These girls never say no to a challenge, an adventure, or a party—and they’ll never leave a dance floor until they’re kicked out. The bride and her Toastmadames started as soccer rivals around age 12, became teammates on the Gothenburg District team as teenagers (while still battling each other in the regular league), and eventually ended up besties when they landed in the same high school class. Not without some initial intimidation on each other’s part, which they now frequently laugh about.
