Officiant
The most badass woman around, second only to the mothers of the bride and groom, and Dragon Mama. She's been a rock and a strength for Tessa through the years. She is chosen as our officiant due to her worldly knowledge and her close proximity to the Bride and Groom, in the realms of friendship and more.
Dragon Mama Match Maker
Without this lady we wouldn't have met. Brandon is very glad that Mama had found Tessa during her journey through this life, and invited her to the gathering that allowed the couple to get a first look at what was to come.
Bridesmaid
When Tessa needs someone to talk to, Carolyn is there, always quick to help and be a providing member in support and friendship, she's danced with Tessa as long as Tessa's been dancing, almost. When picking bridesmaids, her and Louise where shoe ins from the start.
Bridesmaid
The other shoe, so to speak, in the combo with Carolynn. A long time dancing friend as well, the mutual love of board games and the production of dance has kept these two tightly knit, even when life has thrown kinks in their ability to mingle and meet up.
Bridesmaid
Ahhh! That BOOTY. (Tessa said to say this, I have nothing to do with it - Brandon). Kathy is the lovely (yeah that's right I'm calling her that, David) wife of the groomsan David and long time friend to the Eldridge-Stacye pairing. She's quick to give advice and always puts her best foot forward, even in 110 degree weather, at a ren fair, per say.
Bridesmaid
Maker of all things, this friend of Tessa's has been around the dance community for a few years now, but the bonds between these two have been unshakeable and her place in this grouping is one of great respect and trust, and sisterhood! ALL THE THINGS!
Father of the Bride
This is my dad aka Sargent Dada! He is a retired Marine, and retired Army Reserves soldier! Semper Fi!
Mother of the Bride
This is a picture of my mom, dad, and me back when I was... maybe less than 5. FYI, she's camera shy. ;)
Maternal Grandmother of the Groom
My last grandparent still in this world, one of my strongest critics and supporters in life. She's been an ear to talk to through thick and thin and the woman who would fill my tank, or shopping cart, or get my hair cut, when I could not.
Mother of the Groom
My closest friend in my pre-adult life, and a mother I can still talk to in my established adult life. Someone who will worry about me, when I won't worry about myself, and will always call out something when it's bull. Gotta love a woman like that.
Father of the Groom
The dad whom always heard me out. The dad who can fix just about anything. The dad that stood by some of my dumbest decisions.
Step Mother of the Groom
Voted most likely to be someone I butted heads with my pre-adult life, she's almost always had a good thing to say about something.
Groomsman
A friend I made some years ago, and one I'm glad who's stuck around. He's always the first to tell me something strait, and he's a great person to talk to about shit on my chest, or the dumb fuckeries of life.
Groomsman
So if I hadn't ran into this guy while wearing a furry hat, I wouldn't have known about the local scene. If I hadn't known about the local scene, a mutual of mine and his wouldn't have invited Tessa to the convention planning meeting we met at.... the rest is history. Well that and he's an awesome fluffball, but you'd never hear him admit that.
Groomsfluff
The lovely fluff, the talented and well versed better half of Ziff, one of my most reliable and thoughtful friends. She knows more about cars and guns and a bunch of other fun stuff that I'll never grasp, and she's quick to tell you whats on her mind, to share her thoughts and be a friend in times of need.
Groomsman
The other maker of things in our bunch, including Tracy, this dude is one cool dude. He's great with advice and would be a role model if I still had those. Quick to respond and to help where he can, I'm glad to have him as a member of my party.
