How long have you've known the bride/groom? -I have known them both now for a little bit more then a decade! 10 years! So crazy how it goes so fast! How did you and the bride/groom meet? -The first time I met the bride was actually during the College of DuPage Open House! We bonded over our mutual love of Max Schneider! We didn't become friends though until during my first COD production, Carmilla, when she saw me alone in the corner and came up to me. She was my first College friend! The groom I met during my second COD production, Julius Ceasar! What is your favorite memory with the bride/groom? -My favorite memory with the bride has to be during a rather scary time during Camilla. I won't mention it specifically, the bride probably knows all too well, but I told her my story and she hugged me like she actually saw me. First time that ever happened to me... As for the groom, I have to say that it has to be when I attend his first Birthday that the bride threw for him. I gave him a card that I wrote, thanking him for being the wonderful human being he is, and when he read it, he thanked me with such kindness in his eyes, I knew he was the right person for my beautiful best friend (aka the bride :)) One fact our guests can know about you? -My favorite place to be is in a Theatre 💝
