Malika & Norm
Wedding Party (and guests!)
Clara Williams
Mother of the Bride
Lover of cookbooks and weekend getaways. Always takes a vacation day on her birthday. Phenomenal singer. She's been asking about the wedding for the last three and a half years.
Dorset Anderson
Mother of the Groom
Loves singing in made-up languages. Has plans to become a Broadway star by whistling while sweeping a stage at night and being discovered by a producer. Loved Malika from the moment they met.
Steve Williams
Father of the Bride
Audiophile, family archivist, makes a mean Margarita. Award winning producer and sound editor (with the ET of EGOT). Bonded with Norm over filmmaking and all things tech.
Norman Anderson
Father of the Groom
Loved his family, peanut butter, theatre, and being a hermit in the woods. Always better at golf and pool, much to "Little Norm's" chagrin. Passed away a year before the bride and groom met, but would have absolutely adored Malika.
Charlene Lambert
Aunt of the Bride
Loves going to the movies, singing in the choir and her second career as a crossing guard. Makes a mean potato salad and has a fierce sense of style.
Dave "Doobie" Atherton
Uncle of the Groom
Consummate pumpkin carver and story teller. Avid walker and chronicler of the Anderson family's adventures since he and Big Norm worked in summer stock theatre together as teens and drove a Vespa across the USA. Met Malika in 2018, was instantly smitten, and told Norm he was a very lucky fellow.
Azizi Williams
Sister of the Bride
Enjoys weekend getaways, not unlike her mother; the Great British Baking Show and nerding out about leadership development and emotional intelligence with her sister. Has an identical laugh to Malika's.
Ileia Gibbs
Niece of the Bride
MVP basketball and volleyball player, budding entrepreneur and ceramicist. Likes her dog Beaux and learning how to make crafts on Youtube. Has been mistaken for a celebrity in Mexico.
Sanai Gibbs
Niece of the Bride
Accomplished baker, budding activist. Enjoys structure and alone time. Animal whisperer for family pets Snuggles and Beaux. Likes Steven Universe and Bob's Burgers.
Grayson Waughan
Boyfriend of the Sister of the Bride
Grill master and modern day homesteader. Enjoys spending time with Azizi and cooking. Has the entire Monty Python oeuvre memorized.
Sabina Zuniga Varela
Officiant and Friend of the Bride and Groom
Sabina met Malika in grad school, where they rolled around on the floor together for three years. Met Norm at a pub trivia night. Is a foodie, has seen every episode of Grey's Anatomy, and has graced stages and screens all over the country.
