-Random fact about yourself I talk in my sleep... like a lot! I scared the bejesus out of Moriah a time or two during a sleepover... or so she has told me. My husband will corroborate that I talk in my sleep, shout out, and create stories of nonsense. -Moriah & Greg memory/story Moriah and I met Greg for a pint at a bar in Mission Beach. Greg had a look on his face when he gazed at Moriah that gave me the "instant know" that she was the one for him! It melted my heart & made me so happy because I already knew he was the one for her. They were so adorable together that night, sneaking kisses during our conversation and while I was taking sips of beer, ha! Dream role: Actress, Dancer, Singer - triple threat to the arts! Favorite wedding reception dance song: Love Shack of course!

Calli Oakley

Bridesmaid

Carolyn McClaskey

Bridesmaid

Random fact about yourself- I was absolutely intimidated when I first met/worked with Moriah back in 2001. Like, nodded in fear as she gave me one-on-one direction. -Moriah & Greg story-ish- My mom was the first one to claim that Moriah & Greg should be together, after casually running into them on a “platonic” date at Lamb’s. She (and, obviously, I) have adored them individually for as long as we have known them, but together, they are dynamite times two! Shout out to Debbie, who foresaw this union all those years ago. -Dream role- any comedic, alto sidekick to the ingénue -Favorite libation- something sparkly and effervescent -Favorite wedding reception dance song - toss up between September - Earth, Wind, and Fire, You Make My Dreams - Hall and Oates, and Don’t Stop Me Now - Queen

Danny Boman

Bridesman

Dream vacation spot -I have always wanted to go to Greece. I dream of drinking wine & riding on a donkey. It’s there I plan on finding the love of my life, Giorgos. Moriah & Greg memory/story -I’d have to say getting to experience the beauty that was their proposal on top of Potato Chip Rock and documenting it was THE BEST memory I have of them. I have been friends with Greg since childhood; we played Michael & John in Peter Pan! Moriah & I have been the best of friends the past 7 years. We met in San Diego while doing a show at Lamb’s & discovered that we lived ten blocks apart in NYC. We were pretty much inseparable from then on. Dream role -Seymour in Little Shop Fav libation -yes. Wedding reception dance song -The Way You Look Tonight. (Giorgios and I will dance to it together)

Joey Minnich

Random fact about yourself- I have met multiple (5) politicians in the bathroom because that is the only place that the secret service can not prevent you from entering. Dream vacation spot - Depends on the season but love me some good snorkeling spots. Dream role- King Herod will always be my favorite I have ever played and could do that role for the rest of my life. Currently, I would like to play Beetlejuice or be a part of the New WWE musical in development. Favorite wedding reception dance song- "Every Breath You Take" by The Police

Lianne Marie Dobbs

Bridesmaid

Random Fact: Seemingly confident and very Leo, Lianne gets haltingly overwhelmed at Michael's Arts & Crafts, and has no patience for Craiglist or photo editing. Apparently, there's a way to maximize loading a dishwasher for more efficient unloading, but this bit of genius still escapes her. These weaknesses were all strengths of Moriah's, her roommate of 5 years. Ah balance. Moriah Story: Pre-Mr. Good, Lianne & Moriah watched every episode of Downtown Abbey and Orphan Black together. Usually after 2am and with a Brookstone FootSpa, but always with a comforting cheese plate and an IPA. Fav wedding dance song would be "My Babe" (written by Carl Perkins) as sung by Lil Walter

Luke Darnell

Bridesman

Random fact: my grandparents were vaudevillians. Next random fact: Moriah, Lianne, and I lived together for a few years in the Heights and often referred to ourselves as "Three's Company". (Look it up, kids.) It was about as family as family gets. Yet another random fact: see paragraph to the left to learn why I am forever rearranging the dishwasher, a chore I begrudgingly inherited from Moriah. Favorite libation: craft beer because Moriah literally refused to allow Bud Light in her refrigerator. Dream vacation spot: someplace with top-notch scuba diving and a great rock band. Moriah & Greg story: listening to Moriah attempt to play it cool when talking about reconnecting with an old friend..."ya know, it's platonic, we're workout buddies". Guess it worked out!

Mia Apalategui

Bridesmaid

Random fact about me: I'm a crazy cat lady; minus the cats. Favorite libation: Gin neat or lemon drop. Dream vacation: Greece. Once I have helped Danny locate Giorgios, I want to spend my days drinking wine and following all the stray cats around Syros. Oh, to be a kitten in the sun. Moriah & Greg memory: While several great memories come to mind I'd have to say it's probably hiking Hollenbeck canyon, then coming home to make venison chili. The chaos that was that meal *chef's kiss*. Moriah accidentally used cayenne pepper instead of chili powder, she had Greg thoroughly convinced there was a way to pick a "less teary" onion, & if only there was some way to rotate the rolls in the oven!!! ...Oh Greg, you're so pretty. Dream role: I want to be Moriah when I grow up, does that count?

John-Michael Maury

Officiant
