Wedding Party
Matt Donnelly
Best Man
"Did you just call me Mortimer?" "...I said...it's warm in here." And so a best friendship was formed in a high school history classroom! From constantly being mistaken with each during high school (Donnel/Donnelly placing us together alphabetically in practically every class), adventuring in Azeroth during college, rooming together post-college, to now being Best Man at each other's weddings. A friendship spanning TWENTY years now(?!).
Olivia Lara
Lady of Honor
Melissa's very best #1 biological sister in the world! Olivia is so full of life and love and energy and is generally just a joy to have in class...er...the family. Ben got brownie points for making her cry with a birthday card, and for being the unexpected "Lord of the Rings" at her and Alex's wedding! Hopefully she will not have to return the favor!
Susan Leist
Officiant
Susan Leist bears the wonderful privilege of being friends with both Melissa and Ben (or Meli and Bendi, as she knows them) for 14 years now! A mutual friend from their summers at Tecumseh!, Susan then went on to tour with Ben throughout the country with the National Theatre for Children, as well as playing husband and wife for two seasons at Tecumseh! Susan is a newly ordained minister for the Universal Life Church.
