Amanda & James
Wedding Party
Alex
Maid of Honor
Alex is Amanda's big sister. Growing up, Alex and Amanda schemed to run away and live at the park (the plan partially worked), they bickered over whether Amanda was adopted from the zebras, and they thrived off of Harry Potter book/movie release parties and Friends (TV Show) reruns. Could she BE anymore excited for this wedding?
Reka
Bridesmaid
Reka is Amanda's best friend from Denison University. During their college years, they shared many late nights sprawled out on her dorm floor eating dinner consisting of Chester Cheese Puffs (a type of off-brand Cheetos) and copious amounts of beer while attempting to study.
Mattia
Bridesmaid
Mattia is Amanda's cousin and childhood best friend. Growing up, they spent countless nights sleeping over at Nannie & Taw's house, swimming, binge-watching America's Funniest Home Videos, and persevering, every year, through the lengthy Christmas Eve Children's Mass in order to feast on a hibachi dinner (the restaurant even put small, plastic mermaid figurines in our Shirley temples!).
Steve
Father of the Bride
Steve is Amanda's Dad and life-long cheerleader. He never missed a dance recital/competition or theatrical performance. Steve is VERY excited for the wedding.
Beth
Mother of the Bride
Beth is Amanda's Mother. Currently, Beth enjoys the early stages of retirement from Edward Jones by playing absurd amounts of tennis, and socializing with their dog, Maggie.
George
Best Man
George is James's cousin and childhood best friend. Growing up, James and George were inseparable. George is a reformed party animal. If you want to go hard, but still make a 9 o'clock bed time, George is your guy.
Brian
Groomsman
Brian is James's brother and childhood friend. Brian is the most level-headed of all the Blaine/Johnson brothers. In the event of a brawl, go seek Brian.
Jesse
Groomsman
Jesse is James's younger brother. Like James, he is attending medical school. Jesse is the smartest of the brothers. In the even of an existential crisis at the wedding, seek Jesse for a reminder of how little and insignificant life is.
Jim
Father of the Groom
Jim is James's father. Jim is the Chief of Podiatry at the Ft. Worth Veterans Administration and husband to Kelly. In the even of a wedding zombie apocalypse, give Jim some tequila... and run. (Note: Picture is not up-to-date).
Michel
Mother of the Groom
Michel is James's mother. She is a nurse, professor at Chamberlin College of Nursing, and married to James's step dad Michael. Michel is the resident Italian. If you are looking for a mean meatball and more food than one hundred people could eat, she is your gal.
