Lisa Geller
MOH
Lily and Lisa met at Camp Pinecliffe in Maine when they were 10 years old. During their time growing up together, the two were constantly giggling and developed many inside jokes that they still find funny today. At camp, they could be found creating interpretive dances including the OG to “Reflection” from Pocahontas. They also founded the infamous Bunk 5 Spa which other campers would frequent during rest hours. As they've matured, Lisa has found her passion in public health activism, specifically gun violence prevention and women's rights. Lisa is someone to admire, and Lily is amazed that she can still find the time to crack a joke even after saving the world every day :)
Lexi Perlmuter
MOH
Lexi and Lily both ventured to Maine for overnight camp, and bonded over their midwest roots from the get-go. At Pinecliffe, they formed a close relationship when they frequently sat out in sports activities together -- let's just say neither one of them were the star athlete of the age group. The two have remained best friends since camp, even though Lily put a rock in Lexi’s mattress for a summer as a prank. Although, Lexi lives in New York, the two visit each other, and can they can always count on each other to be seen at the hottest restaurants. They also both share a love for musicals and at time's would prefer to listen to the RENT soundtrack vs. anything else. Lexi's supportive and thoughtful personality is something Lily will always cherish and cannot wait to ring in the celebrations with her.
Charlotte Carlton
As Lily’s roommate in her former years in Chicago, Char has the great honor of being the third wheel in Fed and Lily’s relationship. Char has been through it all including meeting Fed on what he thought was a date, when Lily panicked and invited Char to join. The three of them enjoyed cookie dough bites while watching Get Out, and the rest of this trio is history.
Jen Burke
Jen and Lily have been best friends since Sophomore year of high school. After a summer of serving at Ravinia, going to Sonoma to visit Lily’s grandpa, and many trips up to Madison, the two are inseparable. Lily is so glad to have had Jen in Chicago after college and joins in excitement to stand in each other’s weddings!
Jessica Blackwell
Jessica and Lily have been friends since high school and share a love for interior design and anything having to do with organization. Sharing a bond over planning & decorating, Lily and Jess have thrown successful parties together, and who knows... maybe a future business idea is in store for this duo. Lily is thrilled to have Jess help navigate the wedding planning process and especially have her by her side.
Kathryn Sommer
Lily met Kathryn in the fall of 2014 when she was visiting Noah at Haverford College. Lily and Noah were getting ready to go out, when Noah excitedly shared that there was a girl at the party that he had a crush on (and happened to be his German TA). Kathryn and Lily instantly bonded over shared love for food, design, and live music, and Kathryn has felt like family ever since. Lily feels grateful to have shared many vacations, adventures and prominent life milestones with Kathryn, and cannot wait for more to come.
Katie Stueber
Lily and Katie met freshman year in the bathroom at North dorm at Trinity College after one of many ABC themed parties. It didn't take them long to dress up to every single themed event afterwards... Risky Business, Apres Ski, Cowboys & Aliens... you name it and they were in sync costume wise. The two became especially close when they were randomly placed in the same apartment building during their Study Abroad program in Prague. They learned they were compatible travelers and spent virtually every weekend exploring Europe together. Lily admires Katie's love of life, and her adventurous demeanor, and is ready for many more adventures together.
Molly Malloy
Lily and Molly became close friends on the plane ride to Prague on their semester abroad. After many smazeny syr's and Pilsners, Lily and Molly both valued their quality time together during the semester. Molly and Lily both are over-active communicators, ALWAYS in touch with each other via G-chat, Instagram, Snapchat or text at all times. Molly is the life of the party, and Lily looks forward to crushing the dance floor together.
Nora Grubb
Lily met Nora on the carpet of circle time in Miss Joanie’s preschool class. After sharing their love of snacking & napping, they quickly bonded, which turned into years of wining and dining together.
Lily loves Nora’s old soul and cannot imagine her special day without her.
Renee Wysopal
Lily and Renee met their freshman year of college when they learned they shared the same birthday, September 18th. The two instantly had a Virgo bond that naturally led them to perfecting event planning/weekend trips together and often feeling on the same wave length. Renee is Lily’s most thoughtful friend, and helped craft #FedOverHeelsForLil.
Sarah Eagen
Lily and Sarah became friends freshman year of high school in Spanish class where Sarah and Lily had to record a video baking Mexican Wedding cookies. After many laughs and outtakes, Sarah makes Lily laugh just as hard at present day and could not imagine her life without her sense of humor.
Sarah Haas
Sarah and Lily met at the Patrician’s apartment in Lincoln Park, aka "the sorority house" of our post-college Chicago friend group. After countless Jewish holidays spent together, volunteering through JUF programs, and many “covid route” walks, Sarah is an integral part of Lily’s life. Lily and Sarah can be found on long walks by Lake Michigan with a Gotham Bagel in hand.
Mihir Kumar
Best Man
Fed met Mihir the day he moved to Evanston as a freshman at Northwestern. The new tennis teammates shared a hotel room and Mihir introduced Fed to his first American love: Chipotle. The pair became fast friends and Fed would regularly travel to Carmel, Indiana with Mihir for holidays. After a few years spent living and working in New York, Mihir came back to Chicago to attend Booth. Having graduated, Mihir is now back in New York, making it a desired destination for Fed to visit.
Alp Horoz
Alp was Fed's teammate in college, but the moment these two truly bonded was not on the court, but in the basement bathroom of their off-campus house. One night, while Alp was sound asleep, he was rudely awakened by a rat trying to climb out of the toilet. Luckily, Fed was just up the stairs, and they handled the rat conundrum together. After that, Alp decided it would be safer to have Fed around in case of another rat outbreak. The two became roommates after graduation and graciously allowed Lily to be the third roommate from time to time.
Konrad Zieba
Teammates and roommates at Northwestern, Konrad and Fed first became great friends when Konrad invited Fed over for Thanksgiving. Konrad realized he was severely outmatched at the dinner table when Fed proceeded to eat everything that was prepared, somewhat to the dismay of the Zieba family. Fed is constantly trying to get on Konrad's tennis level - but unfortunately has succumb to being second best of the duo. Konrad finds it amusing running Fed side to side on the court while barely breaking a sweat himself. Fed is thrilled to have Konrad be part of his special day.
Michael Schaeffer
Fed and Michael might never have been NU teammates, but that can sometimes be easy to forget. Being neighbors and sharing common interests, the two have spent a lot of time playing and discussing tennis, debating if Norway is better or worse than the Netherlands, and pursuing the best fried chicken sandwich in Chicago. Michael is a renowned world traveler and has the rare ability to pick out perfectly ripe avocados every time. Although recently moved to LA, Michael will always be an important part of Fed's post-graduate life in Chicago.
Noah Quinn
Soon to be brothers-in-law, Fed and Noah share a love for travel, red wine, great food and racket sports. Noah lives in Philly with his girlfriend Kathryn, and has the most comprehensive food guide of the city imaginable. If you want to find a place for pizza, cheesesteak, dim sum, or a drink, Noah is your guy! Fed is thrilled to have Noah as his brother.
Sam Shropshire
Teammates and constant roommates in college, Fed and Sam met at Northwestern. They were perfect roommates as their temperature preferences and morning schedules aligned, so naturally, they would always share hotel rooms during the tennis season. After graduating, Sam played professional tennis for a couple of years, and Fed streamed every one of his matches, sometimes illegally. Sam now lives in Philly and goes to Wharton Law School. Fed is amazed at his hard work and drive, qualities that always made him a good teammate and friend.
