Elaine & Dom
Wedding Party
Nicholas Hill
Best Man
Nick has been one of Dom's closest friends for over 20 years, since their very young days of watching anime and playing DDR. Nick is a constant friend, source of advice, professional mentor, and even job reference. It's very rare that as two people grow, they continue to share the same joys and values, and it's because of this that Dom is so lucky to have Nick.
Jenalee Swain
Bridesmaid
When Elaine was in high school, she and her friends had a tradition of adopting a freshman to take under their wing and show them the ropes. At the beginning of her junior year, a new freshman by the name of Jenalee looked at her from across the room and thought, "she looks mean, I wanna be her friend". It was just a happy coincidence that Elaine shared those sentiments and chose to befriend her back. The two have continued that friendship for more than half their lives since.
Shannon Henry
Bridesmaid
When Elaine met Shannon, each believed that the other didn't like her. But when they were stuck rooming together during a trip abroad to Scotland for their BFA majors at Tyler School of Arts, they were both surprised to discover that they had a lot in common, and formed a fast friendship. Today, the two are thick as thieves, sharing their love and cynicism about the jewelry profession and industry, and geeking out about video games, D&D, and more.
Josh Brown
Groomsman
To say that Elaine and Dom know Josh through his partnership with Shannon wouldn't begin to do the man himself justice. When asked to describe enthusiasm and joy, Josh is the first person to come to Dom's mind. He throws himself into all of his endeavors, and his passion and creativity has led to so many fun experiences such as tabletop games, baseball, and camping excursions. For an example of one of these experiences, be sure to ask Josh about the now-famous love scene between his character and an NPC played by Dom in their regular D&D game.
Alisha "Cricket" Lewis
Bridesmaid
Cricket, as she's affectionately named by the many people who love her, is a constant source of support and friendship to both of the celebrants. She and Elaine share mutual group mom energy at parties and both delight in their roles as domestic goddesses. The two have spent years perpetuating their feudal exchange of acts of kindness and affection, through a love of good food, good booze, and "bawwwww"dy inside jokes.
Sean "Krakenslayer" Krachun
Groomsman
If one were to say the least one could about Kraken, it would be that he is the consummate gentleman. But there isn't enough room on this entire page to say the most about him. He's a loyal friend and compatriot, an elegant and skillful trickster, a courteous and egalitarian soul, and a warrior who gives incredible hugs. His charm and reliability place him in positions of trusted leadership that he never has to seek, among Norse pagans, steelfighters, and too many other groups to name.
Andi Grace Bullen
Bridesmaid
Andi is a honey badger who will burn down your house. However, if you see past the rowdy brat exterior she puts out to the world, she is a warm and loyal friend who will quickly turn her claws against anyone who would pose a threat to those she loves. She brings her creativity and sense of adventure into all she does. Although Dom and Elaine met her initially through her partners Will and Cricket, she is now an adopted part of their found family and holds her spot as their personal jabberwock with pride.
Brittany Humann
Bridesmaid
When Dom and Elaine met Brittany, they became immediately convinced that she was secretly a brilliant genius who was studying them for her thesis paper. She learned very quickly about their lives and understood them so well that it seemed as though she had known them for far longer. And over the years she has continued apace of that, bringing joy and laughter to their lives with her excitable ferret energy and passion for the things that make people unique.
Will Lewis
Groomsman
Only one person among Dom and Elaine's friends contains that "will do" attitude everyone needs. There is never a time when the two can't agree: where there's a will, there's a way. Except in the face of the ravages of disease, there is no ill will to be found in this friendship, but only the will to succeed. Through the bonds of this connection, Dom and Elaine have not only the free will, but the will power, to go against the odds, and will continue to do so until the reading of their last will.
Evan Meshanic
Groomsman
Never has Evan found himself unable to show his care and concern for his loved ones. Going to such great lengths as to come to people's houses on short notice and help them with their problems, he has proven himself a true friend and brother. Give him a goal to strive for, and he will pursue it relentlessly, while having the self reflection to ensure that those goals are still his. You will never lack for a thoughtful conversationalist who takes in many perspectives before forming an opinion. Up for some wacky hijinks or being an apologetic troll who will sneak, say, a subtle Rick Roll into any conversation.
