Tiaja & Ryan
Wedding Party
Bailey Boudreau
Officiant
The man who introduced us, who let us both into his home, who talked us both off the ledge too many times to count. Our collaborator in art and in life. Who else could we ask?
Tallin Walker
Wedding Party
From summer-camp roommates to long-distance soulmates. For 17 years Tallin and Tiaja have treasured each other from afar, and seized every moment of closeness they can.
Jake Ernst
Wedding Party
Ryan met Jake in the spring of 1990 when Jake moved in and started screaming. They were roommates for the next 19 years. They shared video games, magic cards, and at times strong words, but rarely dinner (because Jake was so picky and Ryan was so hungry). Ryan is eternally grateful that Jake had kids so he could be the cool Uncle... oh yeah, should probably mention, Jake is Ryan's brother.
Meghan Lynch
Wedding Party
After Tiaja auditioned for Meghan's directing scene in college, Tiaja went home and proudly proclaimed "I'M MAKING A NEW FRIEND." Since then, they've been roommates, collaborators, and best friends to New York and back.
Lilli Bishop
Wedding Party
Ryan met Lilli during his stage debut, and was immediately intimidated, overwhelmed, and eventually grateful that she decided he had no choice but to be friends. As prolific players in the OCC squad, much reverie was shared both onstage and off, and many a cast party was spent at the Bishop residence. One of the few people that Ryan can talk (listen) to for extended periods of time Lilli is one of the most interesting and outgoing people that is always up for a good time, be it at a party or over a board game.
Savy Sabrie
Wedding Party
Brother-of-the-Bride Savy is the younger sibling, and you'll be able to tell pretty immediately if you don't already know the pair. What Tiaja and Savy lack in visual resemblance they make up for in Loud Feelings and Dumb Faces. Trying to take a picture that contains both of them is not recommended for your personal mental health.
Garrett Pomeroy
Wedding Party
The original G... arrett. But for real, a real G. Garret and Ryan's first conversation took place in the lands of Norrath, and after bearing witness to some of the nerdiest (best) RP macros, and later his IRL sword collection, Ryan knew that Garret would be a lifelong adventuring partner in both mystical lands, and real ones. A man who appreciates nature, as well as a good time, he was a crucial part of the greenhouse days. A fellow thai-loving vegetarian, Garret was a part of many a feast and merrymaking in days past and days to come.
Maya Gangadharan
Wedding Party
Maya loves to tell people that Tiaja did not like her when they first met. Maya is not wrong. But it turns out, Maya is relentlessly likeable. From plays to cast parties to "hey, you like this, let's go to it," Tiaja was coaxed in like a rabid raccoon. Tiaja couldn't be more grateful.
Adam Vogel
Wedding Party
Ryan met Adam in 10th grade in Biology class, and was immediately impressed by the size of Adam's arms and his ability to recite all 150 original Pokemon. A few years of heavy lifting at the greenhouse solidified their friendship into a lasting bond (and solidified Adam's rock-solid biceps). The Lord of the Feast, the Father of the Beholden, the Daddy of Lazrs. And they were roommates.
Mickey Ramlow
Wedding Party
Tiaja and Mickey have not always had the simplest relationship, but that's rarely how family works. Friends+ for 20 years is no small feat, especially for these two idiots, but at the end of the day, he just knows too much.
