Allison & Eddie
Wedding Party
Marlon
Officiant
Marlon and Allison met when Allison was 14. Despite geographical distance, their friendship has just grown stronger through the years. Though they haven’t lived in the same city for over 30 years, every time they get together it’s like they saw each other yesterday. We are so honored to have such a close friend come from so far away (Marlon lives with his husband in Copenhagen) to marry us.
Roarke
Giving the bride away
Roarke is Allison’s child and the most amazing person she’s ever met. Allison is honored that Roarke has welcomed Eddie into our family and is willing to walk her down the isle. We are honored that Roarke feels that this ritual of giving away the bride is also embracing something new into our family. Because when we give we always get more in return.
Zach
Best Man
Zach and Eddie met during a tough time in both their lives over 15 years ago. It was a love of music that brought them together. The day after Eddie met Zach he dropped off a selection of albums on Zach’s doorstep, and the friendship was born. You will never hear Eddie laugh harder than he does when Zach is in the room.
Marla
Best Woman
Marla and Allison met in 1993 while they were both attending Antioch College. Marla saw Allison in the hallway of the dorm building they both lived in, invited her to breakfast, and then declared that they were going to be friends. Marla was right. 25 years later and they still can’t go a week without talking.
