Neg is Elayne's soul sister from The Gap, where they met in 2017! Even though she lives in Ventura now with her husband, Chas, & daughter, Mia, she's been the biggest cheerleader for us, & we are thrilled for her to be a part of our big day!

Elayne met her tried & true friend, Victoria, back in 2011, & since then, she has been Elayne's constant support through careers, new homes, & the arrival of her precious son, Teddy with her partner, also named, Ben. We are so grateful to have her standing with us!

Elayne met Gracie in early 2010 through the Startblocking program, where she brilliantly helped Elayne navigate the non-profit world and the Bay Area as they served as Regional Co-chair leads. Even when Gracie and her husband Kenny moved to the East Coast and had their beautiful twins Mya and Marshall, their strong connection never faltered, and now we are thrilled that the bridesmaid role has come full circle!

Brittain and Elayne met in 2016 when she took over Elayne's previous work role, & they immediately bonded over shared experiences and her two wonderful sons, Auston and Franklin. She remains an incredible friend and mentor who teaches us how to embrace and grow from everything life offers, and we are so happy to have her as part of our celebration!

Dan is a clinical mental health therapist living near Chicago with his wife Jessica and pup Millie. Ben met Dan when visiting Goucher College, and they have been fast friends ever since, sharing countless adventures from Wisconsin to Napa Valley—We are honored to celebrate this special day with Dan!

Adam and Ben met in high school through their friend Sam, and they've been close ever since—Ben even helped Adam get his current job and plan an amazing honeymoon with his travel expertise, and we couldn't be happier to have Adam by our side!

Ben met Ilya in 2013 over tacos at Taqueria Cancun, and since then they've shared skiing trips, Bay to Breakers runs, wine tastings, and an extremely serious commitment to exploring the Bay's best food. We're so proud to have him on Team Elayne & Ben!

Ben and David met at the copy machine at Genentech, bonding instantly over The Simpsons. What followed were years of movies and concerts — easily a hundred of each. We couldn't be happier to have David by Ben's side on our wedding day!
