Maid of Honor
Some people think we're twins. We worry what she'll say during her wedding speech.
Best Man
Alex and Brendan have been friends since their Boy Scout days. Unfortunately, that's not his real hair.
Bridesmaid
Emily and Ariel lived in the same William & Mary freshman dorm and now they live on different floors of the same DC apartment building. Codependent is a strong word.
Groomsman
Don't let that tough Army vet exterior fool you -- Joey's favorite movie is Beauty & the Beast!
Bridesmaid
During the 5th-grade class trip to NYC, Ariel put lotion in her hair and Millie slept in the bathtub. Not much has changed.
Groomsman
Kevin and Brendan started out in DC together. Kevin is a dad now, so he's supposed to be responsible. We don't buy it.
Bridesmaid
Isabel is studying to be a doctor, which is great, because Ariel is really klutzy.
Groomsman
Josh is Brendan's cousin and a part-time male model. One of these things is true.
Bridesmaid
During middle school, Meg and Ariel bonded over their shared love of The O.C. (omg Ryan was sooo dreamy).
Groomsman
One time Brendan tried to teach Antonio to ski. It didn't end well.
Bridesmaid
Brooke is Brendan's sister and also an animal whisperer.
Ring Bear/Flower Girl
Part dog, part human, part bear, a member of the Illuminati and Mensa -- is there anything Buddy Cohen can't do? He is both our ring bear (bear, not bearer) AND flower girl. Obviously he will wear a tuxedo.
Bridesmaid
Dani is Brendan's sister. Brendan used to slam her into walls and chase her around with knives when they were younger. The relationship has since improved, marginally.
Ceremony music
Aisle-side tunes brought to you by Jacob Mann, Ariel's cousin. He is not the guy in the Shrek mask.
Officiant
Becky is Ariel's cousin. One time they got banned from a Courtyard Marriott for accidentally setting a toaster on fire. She will be performing our wedding.
