Wedding Party
Calland Glass
Officiant
Openly one of Brandon's best friends, but secretly Susan's bestie. Also one of the weddings that led to Susan and Brandon's serendipitous meeting at the tailor's for Brandon's groomsmen suit.
Olivia Gieske
Maid of Honor
Susan's least favorite and most favoritist sister. Arguably also Susan's first enemy and first friend.
Trevor Hayes
Best Man
Brandon's best buddy most known for stealing Brandon's attention on Valentine's Day dates.
Eric Metz
Best Man
Friend Eric. A bestie. Very possibly Brandon's first real friend.
Amanda Divins
Bridesmaid
Susan's friend from high school who remembers even the smallest details and one-off conversations (Susan has always been very jealous of this ability). Love you to the moon and Saturn <3
Marlee Fritkins
Bridesmaid
Arguably who Susan fell for first, thanks to coaching Brandon when they were first texting. Also arguably Susan's first Coloradan friend if you don't count PA friend trauma bonds.
Kathy Gieske
Bridesmaid
Susan's older cousin and obligatory friend (you can't escape me), who also survived board game training with Grandma Jan.
Gin
Groomsman
Brandon's college friend, and the only reason Brandon passed Japanese.
Mike Glass
Groomsman
Brandon's friend from college, #1 reader, NA, and Susan’s other friend. Mike and Kristen's wedding was the first wedding Susan and Brandon attended as a couple. Susan meeting all 100 of Brandon's closest friends not only didn't scare her, but made her love him more.
Brock Hamilton
Groomsman
Brandon's lil bro. Brandon sneakily named Brock after the Pokémon character before his parents knew better.
Eric Hamilton
Groomsman
Brother Eric. A classic.
Elizabeth Ho
Bridesmaid
Susan's friend from college, and one of the Elizabeths who brought Susan and Brandon to the same tailor's shop. While she can't make it to the wedding, she will be with us in spirit!
Emma Humphrey
Bridesmaid
Susan's teen BFF who taught Susan how to get over stupid boys and how to play Super Smash Bros on the N64.
Sarah Place
Bridesmaid
Olivia's best friend from high school (and therefore Susan's mortal high school enemy), turned bestie in college. #forcedproximitiy #enemiestolovers

Sam Fritkin
Usher
Our mutual board game buddy who can remember all the rules, keep Brandon's chaos in check, and ensures Susan still has a good time even when she has no idea what she's doing.

Brandon's cousin and who Susan goes to for any sprinkler's related questions.

Roy and Cathleen Mollard
Grandparents of the Groom
Brandon's grandparents and pseudo parents as a young adult, when he was trying to make it big in the Bay area. Also we have Grandma Cathleen to thank for Brandon's ability to feed Susan. Susan is forever grateful.
Bill Hamilton

Brandon's grandpa who watched him during many childhood summers (aka, sent into the wilds of Missouri to run out the ADHD crazy).
