Amy Dolgin
Amy is my older sister. She lives in Chicago with her husband and four kids. She is a creative problem solver, has a great eye for design and most recently has taken up painting. She's a fierce mama and I've looked up to her since the very beginning.
Harell Dolgin
Harell is my brother-in-law, married to Amy. He came on the scene in the early 2000s and secured our friendship when he came to see me in my high school musical, Hair. Ever since then, he's always taken an interest in my musical endeavors and is always down for a sing-along.
Allie Levinsky
Allie is my sister-in-law, married to Eric. Allie has been in my life since the early 90s when she and my sister, Amy, became fast friends at summer camp. Amy and Allie have been besties since then and so Allie has always felt like a sister to me long before she even started dating my brother, Eric. 
Arnie Roth
My pop has always been and continues to be a calm, reassuring voice of reason in my life. When he's not conducting orchestras around the world, he can be found at home watching the Sox game, reading bedtime stories to his grandkids, giving our dog Georgia a long belly rub or manning the grill. He is obsessed with babies, dark chocolate and very bold red wines. Just look for the curly ponytail - a signature of his for quite a while.
Eric Roth
Eric is my big brother. Eight years felt like a big gap when we were younger, but now we're good buddies and have a music career, a love of the Chicago White Sox and an undergrad degree from the University of Michigan in common. Eric and Matt became fast friends over their shared love of baseball and encyclopedic knowledge of Miles Davis. Eric will be officiated our wedding!
Marcy Roth

Ladies and gentlemen, she needs no introduction. My mama is always making sure everyone around her has everything they could possibly need. Are you hungry? She'll offer you every single thing in her kitchen. Tired? Just come stay at her place - there are plenty of beds! She is a loving ma, an indulgent nana and we all love her a lot.

Mischa, Romy, Anouk, Emmett, Cleo and Sy

These six kiddos will give you a run for your money. Ranging in age from 11 to 2, these Dolgin/Roth nieces and nephews are a blast. It's a constant cousin party in Chicago!

Deb Arnold
Meet my mom! Born and raised in Sault Ste Marie, she's a longtime RN who ran our house, kept me clothed and fed, and mostly made sure I made it to adulthood in one piece. Her love and care knows no bounds, and she's always good for a phone call and some sound advice.
Larry Arnold
My Dad! He grew up in Allen Park, MI before leaving for Sault Ste Marie after high school. He's been a constant source of knowledge and advice in my life, and I've learned more from him than I can name. From an early age, he kept my perfectionism in check, while still reinforcing the value of a job well done.
Tom Badenski

Tom is my first cousin, and the closest thing I've ever know to having a brother. We grew up a few blocks apart from each other, and were largely inseparable during our childhood. From early mornings at our grandparents house as toddlers to attending the University of Michigan, we've done it all together. Tom is a wise old soul, always ready to provide great perspective, and might be the funniest person I've ever met. There's a long line of people who've been bored to tears as Tom and I continue to crack each other up with obscure Simpsons references, misquoted old jokes, and terrible puns. I was honored to serve as his best man last summer, and am incredibly happy to ask him stand to with me this November.

Erica Gordon
My original partner-in-crime! Since ruining my stint as an only child in late 1986, Erica has been a worthy adversary, trusted confidante, and a fantastic friend. In addition to being a riotous good time in her own right, she's also quite the inspiration: She's raising 3 incredible, thoughtful boys, and strikes an incredible balance somewhere between a circus ringleader and drill sergeant.
Mike Gordon
Mike is my one-of-a-kind brother in law. He's been a fixture in our family for about as long as I can remember. I think he and Erica got together in about 1990, but my memory is a little spotty. He's always good for a text conversation during the workday, and has a knack for bringing a good time with him wherever he goes. All this, and he's an incredible, inspirational father to 3 wild boys. He has a bottomless well of patience and understanding, and never shies away from an educational moment with his boys. Or his brother in law. Mike has time and again proved to be a great friend, and I'm so glad to have him in our family. It gives me great pleasure to have him stand with us on our wedding day, as I proudly did with him and Erica all those years ago.
Luke, Cole and Zach

Chaos, Mayhem and Havoc. Enough said.

But in a few more words: these boys are nothing but trouble. They're my nephews and are the perfect partners in crime. We don't get to  spend nearly enough time together, but we sure have a good time when we do. 

Kyle Ashlee

Kyle and I met at the University of Michigan, when we were assigned to be roommates freshman year. We were fast friends, quickly connecting over matters both serious and small. Kyle's been a great friend since the moment we met, spending many late nights waxing philosophical. (Or, more accurately, me talking and Kyle trying to go to sleep. Such is life in a cramped dorm room.) Since college, his professional life has sent him off on many adventures, leaving him with many fascinating stories and me with a tall stack of postcards from all around the world. I'm thrilled to ask him to stand alongside me on my wedding day, finally returning the favor for when I served as his best man in 2015.

Evan Bruno
Evan and I became friends and colleagues in 2015 when I joined the conducting staff at CCC. Our friendship isn't that old, but boy is it strong. Though we disagree about many things, our mutual respect for one another as educators is unparalleled and we would do just about anything for one another.
Liz Baker
Liz has been one of my best friends since we sang together in the Chicago Children's Choir. Though our friendship started as rival middle school softball players, we quickly put our differences aside and have been inseparable since. Our friendship stayed constant despite living in different cities for many years after high school. Liz finally moved back to Chicago three years ago and I couldn't be happier to have her back home, but now as a coworker at CCC!
Meaghan Carroll
Meaghan and I both joined the conducting staff at CCC in 2015. Meaghan is like the little sister I never had and even though she just moved to Washington D.C. with her fiancé, Heath, I know our friendship will continue to grow across state lines. Meaghan is a show choir wizard. You can expect to find her tearing up the dance floor with her killer moves.
Allison Dunn
Allison and I met in 2003 at the University of Michigan. We lived on the same hall in the dorm our freshman year and have stuck together ever since. Our friendship is full of laughter, delicious food and fun adventures. Allison is an English teacher in Grosse Pointe, Michigan and she wows her students with her comic wit and knowledge of pop culture. She's the best.
Brian Jacobs
Brian and I met at University of Michigan, and quickly became buddies while sharing the cooking duties for football tailgates. After years of half-hearted commitments to move to NYC, Brian finally convinced me to take the plunge in 2011 when a bedroom opened up in his apartment. We spent just 4 years as roommates out there, but it sure feels like we filled our glasses to the brim while we were out there. Brian's since moved out to California, but we've been pretty good about getting the gang back together for good food and great company once in a while. Brian's exactly the kind of guy I want on my side - a selfless, loyal friend who brings a good time with him wherever he goes.
Price McAllister
Price and I have been close since middle school, when his family moved to Sault Ste Marie. It feels like we've known each other forever. We spent all of high school basically attached at the hip. (My literal hip. He played quarterback to my center for four years of football.) We took the same classes and had the same friends, and were basically inseparable, aside from when his over-achieving self was out playing sports I couldn't hack. Since then, we've been with each other for basically every important moment in our lives: high school and college graduations, his wedding, and now my wedding. Not to mention a ton of baseball games, football tailgates, road trips, and some stellar visits NYC and Ann Arbor. Price has always been the kind of friend I could talk to for hours on end (and, spoiler alert: I will.) No matter how much time passes, we seem to drop right back in to our old familiar cadence, a fact for which I'm eternally grateful. Price is wise beyond his years and possesses an easy-going yet direct attitude. He's never shied away from telling me what I'm doing wrong, and always has my best interest in mind. I'm elated to have him joining me and Lisa on our wedding day.
Mike Mergo

When I moved to NYC in 2012, Mike and I were fast friends, bonding over stories from home and deep-cut quotes from movies no one should have seen more than once. During my time in New York, Mike was kind enough to introduce me to his great circle of friends, share some incredible meals, and was always a reliable friend for advice and commiseration when the city piled its challenges on. He's since moved on to bigger and better things, living in Los Angeles and pursuing his dual dreams of being a boxing champion and/or screenwriter. The only real question in my mind is which success he'll find first. He's one of the kindest, most sincere people I've ever had the chance to meet, and I'm honored to have him alongside me at my wedding.
