Maid of Honor
Once Upon A Time... I shared a wall with a lovely girl in a triplex, well at least, I imagined she was lovely. I actually didn't meet her until almost a year after I moved in. But until I met her I barked through the air vents making friends with her dogs, and enemies with the upstairs neighbors. Spoke to her mom in the driveway on occasion, for a while thinking her mom was who lived next to me. And casually and mindlessly passed her car in the shared driveway. But- one fateful day I knocked on her door and asked her to hangout with me. Just out of the blue. We talked all evening, ignoring the bar fight breaking out behind us in the college town dive bar, and by the end of it we were in love. 10 years, several heartbreaks, 1 marriage, 1 baby, and lots of night we don't remember later she is my Maid of Honor....and the other love of my life.
Best Man
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away... 'From the cradle to the now' i've looked up to Sean. Mainly because he was hovering over the pram. But later, because that's what you do with big brothers. His sharp wit and selflessness are just a few of his amazing qualities. I feel lucky that this decision is the easiest possible, there is only one man for the 'Best Man' job. My big brother Sean-o!
Bridesman
Once Upon A Time... I think it was the 4th of July and I think I was 7 years old and he was 4? My family went to a pool party in the neighborhood and there I met about a zillion kids. We all jumped off the diving board, wacked each other with pool noodles, ate too many cupcakes, and watched fireworks together. Christian & I, and all the other rambunctious children, saw each other each year on the 4th of July until the grown-ups started having all the families over for dinner on other days beyond the holiday. Christian had no interest in hanging out with a bunch of pre-teen girls and would play basketball in the driveway alone. Well, Im the oldest in my family and was the oldest in the friend group. I wasn't having any of Christians loner behavior. So essentially over the course of a decade I wore him down and forced him to be friends with me. Really the whole thing was masterful manipulation so much so that he got bamboozled into liking Taylor Swift & has to hangout with me at my wedding.
Groomsman
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away... He was my roommate for 2.5 years, and has been my cousin for 32! Devin makes me belly laugh more than anyone I've ever met and he is a massive part of this big day. Traveling here from his film job in LA, he will love the drama of the Film Noir venue.
Officiant
One ring to rule them all, and in the darkness bind them... From years together at the bus stop as kids, to becoming Brooklynite roommates together in 2021, Tom is as near as he is dear. Tom was the first person I (Jack) introduced Jana to because I wanted to show her my goofy and heartfelt best friend. He has gone by many names such as Champ Dorée, Party Poodle (in a heavy Scottish accent), and Tom. He is one of the greatest people you'll ever meet, and is quick to blush. He will be our Nicole Kidman/Mail-Order Officiant for the ceremony. So sit back, relax, drink champagne, and feel that indescribable feeling you will get when the lights begin to dim, and go somewhere you have never been before. Dazzling people in front of an unused silver screen. Heartbreak is prohibited in a place like this. Because here.....we are. Please Enjoy the show.
