Bride
Groom
Best Man and Matchmaker
Tre and Ishmell have been friends for nearly 12 years, and between the two of them have drunk enough beer to float a warship. Getting themselves into fun and interesting situations seems to be their special talent. Tre is one of our special guests, a Matchmaker! Without Tre dragging Ishmell out for a night of fun on the town he and Emily would never have met! Tre continues to be a cherished member of our friends and is a wonderful man all around, and ladies guess what? He's SINGLE!
Maid of Honor and Matchmaker
Glori and Emily met in fourth grade, and have been Best Friends ever since. Both experts at gettin each-other in AND out of trouble, giving believable alibis, and singing the night away it was truly meant to be. Glori also holds the special title of Matchmaker. Glori dragged Emily out to a Kareoke Bar one night and the rest is history (and some additional matchmaker meddling on Emilys behalf as she has recently been made aware)! Glori will always hold a close place in both the Bride and Grooms hearts, and in their MMORPG Guild Lists.
