Best Man
Joel's less handsome brother and friend from youth will be giving us a much needed example of inner beauty on the day of our wedding.
Man of Honor
Kate's brother Andrew, recently become a father, will keep the raucous bridal party in line with his over-large muscles and his chiseled jawline.
Groomsmaid
Joel's sister Hannah is our Flower and Lights Coordinator and Calligrapher Extraordinaire, and is in charge of bringing a splash of whimsy and a dash of class to the proceedings.
Bridesman
Joel, Kate's brother and Fantasy Football advisor, has studied the motion of the human body extensively (kinesiology), and will lead our guests in an interpretive dance to the music of Enya.
Groomsman
Chad, a friend of Joel's from college, is our official Captain of the Peanut Gallery and will reach for any items guests need obtained from high places.
Bridesmaid
"Turtle" is an adventurous friend of Kate's whose extensive travels and tiger sightings have prepared her to be in charge of croquet and other outdoor lawn games.
Groomsman
Better known as "The Cute Savage," Carter was Joel's college roommate. He has won several accolades for his work on the U.S. National Bear-Wrestling team including "Most Interesting Man from Iowa," and "Tastiest Snickerdoodles."
Bridesmaid
DJ K-Reyne is a student of life, thought leader, and mixologist hailing from the Pacific Northwest. Her compilations of Eastern European Ragae and folk-inspired disco will be our auditory guides through the evening's festivities.
Groomsman
Famed for his role as least successful child-model at the Gap, Vernon has drastically turned his life around since the "disaster" catalogue from the Fall of '97. Vernon's special talents of strutting, needlepoint, and mimicking ape noises are just a few reasons he's a perennial favorite at the World Hide-And-Seek Championship in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
Bridesman
Matt, Kate's honorary brother, is a gifted writer, improv actor, and the personal shoe-buckle consultant for Michelle Obama. His way with words is matched only by his skill with the hand puppet. He will use this "lost art form" to distribute kleenex to our guests during the particularly sappy bits of the ceremony.
Groomsman
Born Vultron Sanchez, "Aaron" is one of the groom's most swooshy-haired friends. Popular for his Live Action Role Playing Game, "The Princess of Forgotten Power," Aaron will face his fiercest enemy yet on his quest to sort recycling from trash in order to promote a greener Warren wedding.
Bridesmaid
Kristen was Kate's college roommate and fellow intramural referee at Moody Bible Institute. She grew up in Wisconsin and enjoys books, sitting alone quietly, and hanging out with Kate.
Groomsman
Nicky, Youtube-famous for his incendiary, anarchist TED Talk, "From the Crown Down," has lived with the groom for 3 years. Although he still holds the Mawpaw county record for fitting 73 Marshmallows into his mouth during the All-County Chubby-Bunny Championship, Nicky's current interests include rugby, snake-charming, and regular charming.
Bridesmaid
Her work with the NSA may be classified, but her flawless jazz hands are well known throughout the worldwide miming community. A skilled counselor and faithful friend to Kate, Julie will be doing a silent performing arts piece during the ceremony entitled "Stoic Restraint," which she has prepared specifically for this event.
