Groomsman- Elliot Bendoly

Eyad was a rebellious kid and went from private to public school in 10^th grade. There he met one of the most creative, intelligent people he knows… his English teacher. J-just kidding. Elliot (not the teacher) is the creative guy. He appreciates and encourages Eyad’s sense of humor (the joke above was for him). Beware of a conversation alone with them and their inside jokes.

They really became friends at Case Western Reserve University. Elliot requested Eyad as a roommate (one of the best things that’s ever happened to Eyad). He was largely responsible for Eyad’s success. Somehow, Elliot managed to theorize about the 4^th dimension while playing hours of a computer game, Civilization. He has a PhD (he can explain it to you) and is teaching at Emory in Atlanta, GA. He brakes for kids and murderous nuns.

He and his wife, Laura (Eyad was in the wedding), are the proud parents of Ian Salvador (June 27^th, 2004) and Leila Antonia (June 15^th, 2008). Can you believe Elliot is a daddy?! Don’t you dare tell me Elliot is a daddy, Smee…

Elliot, Laura, Ian and Emily met at our wedding. We can’t wait to introduce Michael James to the whole family and meet Leila.
