WEDDING PARTY

ELIZABETH - MAID OF HONOR

I love my little sister! What more can I say? She was born when I was 5 years old, and I was SO jealous of all the attention she got from my mom. I spent most of my early life fighting with her, but when I was in high school I realized she was actually pretty cool.  We love going shopping together, running errands, or just hanging out whenever she's home from college. Angela really loves her too, which is always a plus!

JACKIE - THE GAMER OLDER SIBLING

Jackie is just about a year older than me, so we were always super close growing up. Some of my fondest memories from childhood involve me playing video games on our Nintendo 64 with them. Jackie was and probably still is an absolute madman when it comes to Pokemon battles. They love all sorts of gaming to this day, so if you need any game recs, don't be afraid to ask! 

CARRIE - THE COLLEGE BESTIE

Carrie was one of the first people to actually be kind to me during college, and not in a "I need homework answers" way. Every week we would get together to have a girls night, whether it be going to do some Late Night activities at the Student Union or grabbing some Lady Gaga Oreos to make slutty brownies. It meant so much to me, especially during Senior year when COVID made things so difficult.

RAY - THE PATRICK TO MY SPONGEBOB

Ray was my college roommate starting Sophomore year. He saw me through both some of my worst and some of my slightly-less-worse-but-still-bad times. We bonded at first over our love for Spongebob, and then realized that we have a lot in common, especially our love for theatre! He showed me some of the hallmarks of LGBT culture, back when I didn't know Girl in Red from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. We had some crazy nights of gaming and drinking at our lake house junior and senior year.

ALISA - THE DRIVEN QUEEN

Alisa is one of the most hardworking, intelligent people I know, while still being able to have fun. We both LOVE theatre, and I always loved seeing what she would do next with her theatre school take-home assignments. I'll never forget our Salem and Boston trip where we explored the cities and had an AMAZING photoshoot on those painted rocks! I just love being around Alisa, it makes everything feel so easy and natural.

BELÉN - MAID OF HONOR

Belén is my older sister and the best built-in friend I could ask for. We had our fair share of fights, especially when I would annoy her by trying to stick my cold feet in her hoodie pocket, but that just solidified our bond I think. There isn’t anyone I would want to annoy more than her and I’m sure she feels the same. 

COURT

Court has been a close friend since our freshman year at Shenandoah where we lived down the hall from each other in the Racy dorms. There was many a late night spent in the Racy lounge with friends and Court was always right there. We bonded over our love of video games and musical theater, with some of my favorite memories including trips to see whatever production Court was taking part in and going to conventions like Katsucon and Connecticon together.

SARAH

Sarah was stuck with me as a roommate while studying abroad at Shenandoah. We were both wary about rooming with a stranger, but little did we know, we would soon be close friends. Some of my favorite memories include dragging Sarah around New England to give her the full American experience and going to England to visit her in the summer. 

MADDY

Maddy was one of the first friends I made at Shenandoah even though I thought she was too cool for me at first. We would spend most of our days together since our class schedules always seemed to line up that way, and it was great to have a built in study buddy, especially for our language and theory classes. I wouldn’t want to swing dance at a ‘Battle of the Bands’ concert with anyone else!

MARYANN

Maryann was a fast friend when we met during my Senior year at Shenandoah. We have had many adventures with our roadtrip to New York to see ‘Be More Chill’ being one of my favorites. As my cousin Maggie once said, I feel like we’ve been friends much longer than we have. 

REV. BRIAN BLAYER- OFFICIANT 

Father Brian was the priest at the church where Angela and I met, so of course we have to have him marry us!  Without him, I wouldn't have started going to the Episcopal church in the first place, Angela wouldn't have been hired to work there, and we never would have met. I always loved Father Brian's sermons about love and acceptance... that no matter what your background is, God has a place for you.

PIPER- FLOWER GIRL

Piper is probably the kindest, most understanding person I've met in Southern Maryland. Ever since I got to know her during and after the Newtowne Players' production of Into the Woods (she played Milky White, Angela was the Witch, and I helped out backstage) we've been fast friends. If you love K-Pop, don't be afraid to talk to Piper about it!
