Best Man
Jason's former roommate, he is Mary Todd's uncle and a VERY minor DC celebrity.
Groomswoman
Derek's best friend since childhood, they once played the leading roles in a 1st grade production of "Rumpelstiltskin" and it's been downhill ever since.
Groomsman
Jason's close friend is a prize-winning organist (Trinity, Copley Square, Boston), and champion figure skater.
Groomsman
Derek's "Swedish Brother," who also just happens to be an organist. They're everywhere!
Groomswoman
Jason's close friend from Dallas, she is also his moral compass, personal television concierge, and one hell of a handbell ringer.

Derek's former work-wife and soon-to-be famed romance novelist, she is a wedding planning goddess.
Groomsman

Groomsman
From VIP tours of art galleries and Nationals Park to post-evensong soirees (surrounded by organists, of course!), Dusty is always full of great ideas of things to do around town.
Groomsman
No trip to NYC is complete without a visit to Uncle Preston--actor, model, and yes, organist.
Groomsman
Derek's best straight male friend ever. He's the perfect companion for a Negroni, and his expertise in the area of waste management is unrivaled.

Reader
The Rev. Emily (AKA "Pooter") grew up in Jason's choir in Huntsville and is a recent graduate of Virginia Theological Seminary, where Derek never let her forget the nickname Jason gave her all those years ago. Let this be a lesson: flatulence in a children's choir will not go unpunished.
Reader
Always the life of the party, Frank used his formidable manipulative skills to bring Jason and Derek together. When not matchmaking or playing the organ (another organist!), he can often be found harassing people who fully deserve it.
Officiant
Derek's boss for two years at Virginia Theological Seminary, Bishop Jim loves keeping Derek in check, so he's definitely someone Jason wants on his side.
Preacher
She's done it all: "Beverly Hills 90210," "Star Trek," and also worked closely in offices (at different times) with both Jason and Derek!
Intercessor
Jason's awesome marathon-running Rector took on the Confederacy...and won.
