The Girls

Eva Farrell

Sunako Barranco

Role: Matron of Honor

Years of Friendship: 2017 → forever

Hidden Talent: Can crush a bowl of fried rice on command at any hour known to mankind. A true 24/7 talent.

Elise Szwajkowski

Role: Sister of the Bride & Bridesmaid

Years of Friendship: Birth → forever

Hidden Talent: Can somehow do three SoulCycle classes back-to-back without breaking a sweat — and actually enjoy it. I truly don’t understand how that’s humanly possible.

  • Bridesmaid

    Years of Friendship: 28ish

    Hidden Talent: A true Halloween icon — she can make any costume come to life in the most terrifying or hilarious way imaginable.

  • Bridesmaid

    Years of Friendship: 15

    Hidden Talent: A true soup queen. If you’re talking soup and not talking to Lina, I don’t know who you thought made more or better soup before, but you were absolutely wrong.

  • Bridesmaid

    Years of Friendship: 5

    Hidden Talent: Can leave the bar at 1 a.m. to walk her dog and actually come back. Could be 5 minutes, could be 5 hours, who’s to say? But she will always return just in time for a shot.

  • Syd Friedman

    Bridesmaid

    Hidden Talent: Give her a fridge full of random ingredients — or honestly just one — and in ten minutes she’ll whip up the most delicious thing you’ve ever eaten.

  • Anna Boogaerts

    Years of FriendSHIP: 10

  • Frankie White Levin

    Bridesmaid

    Hidden Talent: Can sing a song with every wrong lyric and still make it sound exactly like the real thing — proof that confidence truly is key.

    Years of Friendship: 10

  • Erin Mah

    Bridesmaid

    Hidden Talent: Thought you were winning that political debate? Need a law from 1942? Erin’s your girl. She will pull it out of thin air, drop it casually, and… you lose. Every. Single. Time.

    Years of FriendShip: 10

  • Natalie LaBeau

    Bridesmaid

    Hidden Talent: Think you can dance? You can’t. But Natalie can — breakdance, ballet, drop it low, get way up high. Natalie is the undisputed queen of the dance floor. (OK maybe not ballet).
