Lauren Graham
Bridesmaid
Say hello to Lauren! The bride's cousin on her dad's side, the one that on all family trips it was her and the bride in the back of the car listening to music. They sang all the boy bands and when they started growing up and the bride's love of rock music grew, Lauren tolerated and nodded along to all the ugly emo music the bride used to listen too! The bride loves this girl like crazy, say hi to her!
Lieisha Davis
Bridesmaid
Say hello to one more of the bride's cousins! This is Liesha or LALA as the bride likes to refer to her as! This one of the other cousins from the bride's mother's side of the family (yes that was a weird and long sentence). This girl right here is the cool, emo, hipster cousin that the bride has always wanted to be like. This girl has shaped the bride's life in so many ways, the one that encouraged support for her love of rock music and being different. This girl beats to her own drum and no one else's, and influences and supports the bride in all the wacky weird ideas she has. So come up and hug her and thank her for allowing the bride to feel loved and weird all at the same time!
Jay Wheeler
Best Person
YO! Everyone say hi to Jay, the BEST PERSON FOR THE ROLE! Yes, you read it right, this is the groom's best friend for life! They have known each other forever, and have bonded over life and its hardships in Merced. This woman has taught the groom how to be cool and suave and appreciate black culture in the most respectful and fun way. Without Jay, the groom could have never gotten to a point in his life where he branches out and explores and met the bride. It is with great love from both the bride and groom that you guys hug and tell Jay how much she is appreciated and loved.
