Bridesmaids

Amanda

Amanda Ehrlich, the youngest Ehrlich sister, is getting her masters in architecture in LA. She's a fan of the band O-Town and DailyPuppy.com.

Robin

Robin Kachka, Boris’s sister, is a young veterinarian whose smarts and work ethic put her brother to shame. Her many talents include a mastery of musical chairs.

Lisa

Lisa Levy first met Jamie while working together in London, when she arrived at a party hosted by Jamie bearing a huge vat of mashed potatoes. She’s now a do-gooder lawyer and has a deep knowledge of British TV shows.

Jessica

Jessica Scheuer is the most-educated Ehrlich sister, currently getting her PhD in speech and language sciences at City College. After her many viewings of So You Think You Can Dance, she knows all about the Vietnamese waltz.

Groomsmen

Logan

Logan Hill began working at New York Magazine the same month Boris did, though he has recently abandoned him for GQ. He is Boris’s magazine hero.

Jeff

Jeff Kidd is a force of nature both on and off the dance floor. His specialties include spirituality, languid indie rock, educational technology, and trunk acting.

Stephen

Stephen Krieger met the groom in high school, when Stephen had very long hair and Boris still thought Motley Crüe was cool. Stephen wanted to be a hot-shot rock star but became a hot-shot neurologist instead—which is much better.

Matt

Matt Sollars met Boris during their senior year of college. They bonded over a love-hate relationship with Nabokov, Shakespeare, and nicotine. Whenever Boris felt blue, Matt played Stevie Wonder’s “Don’t You Worry ‘Bout a Thing,” and everything improved.

Ushers

Matthew

Matthew Baumgart will soon be Boris’s brother-in-law. He is a world-renowned expert in paw-paws and high-energy physics.

Ed

Edward Scheuer is already Jamie’s brother-in-law. He is a world-renowned expert in risk management and the band 36 Crazy Fists.
