Brandon & Chris
Wedding Party
Hilary Roath
Officiant
Written by Madea: Well, let me tell y'all a story 'bout Brandon and Hilary, honey! They first crossed paths back in 9th grade in that marchin' band madness. Started off just sayin' "hey" in the halls, but their souls were like two peas in a pod, couldn't shake that connection! Fast forward a bit, they became roomies, Lord have mercy! They had adventures fit for a comedy show—almost burned down the kitchen, fought critters sneakin' in, and even took in those in need. Brandon and Hilary, they bonded over their love for squirrels, Tyler Perry movies (hallelujer) and some good ol' cheap wine, keepin' that flame burnin' bright and that chemistry sizzlin' hot! Now, here comes the cherry on top, darlin'. Hilary's got a passion for speakin' her mind and savin' this planet from climatic chaos, bless her heart. So, when it came time to tie the knot, who better to officiate than the one who's got the voice, the heart, and the soul to make it all official? Brandon and Chris found their perfect match in Hilary, makin' their love story even more special, ain't that somethin'! Love to the liquor store and back, Madea
Austin Holliday
Best Man
Brandon met Austin when he was 7 and Austin was 0. He watched Austin grow from chicken nugget to chicken tender (the spicy kind). Their love for sexy food pics on Instagram, Taylor Swift, and an inappropriate TikTok have continued to bond them even closer! His favorite foods are guacamole, white sauce, and homemade lobster (you really had to be there).
Scotty Meushaw
Best Man
Chris met Scotty when he was only 2 hours old. He was not at all thrilled to see a baby brother, he thought he was getting a sister. I believe he asked the nurses to “put him back”. As the years went on, they bonded over some epic brotherly fights and shared a love of dancing to vinyls with Aunt Sharon in the living room. Scotty taught Chris on many occasions how to get out of sticky situations while visiting him at Towson University…I don’t think mom and dad knew about that until this moment while reading this…oops
Michael Courant
Groomsman
Brandon and Michael met their freshman year of college while rushing a fraternity. From trips across the country to trips to the local college bar, they experienced manyyyyy drunken nights together. Michael continues to inspire Brandon to be a better driver, hold his liquor like a gentleman, and to be a better overall nice jewish boy.
Timothy Willoughby
Groomsman
Chris met Timothy 8 years ago at work when he was yelling at someone for not giving him a to go container for talent’s chicken tenders. In that moment, he knew they’d be best friends. They frequently bond over their mutual love for Pizza Hut, grilling, a good deal, and piping hot tea.
Stephanie Hudson
Bridesmaid
Chris met Steph on the Disney college program in 2007. She was best friends with someone else but he quickly stole her away. They share a love of Hershey Park, a good scare, and Carnival Cruises. No one likes going on a cruise more and listening to my heart will go on like these two. His forever BCF (best cruise friend).
Deanna Ferello
Bridesmaid
Brandon and Deanna share a profound connection that spans lifetimes. They first encountered each other in a previous existence, having been married hundreds of years ago. Fate brought them together again in 2007 during high school, although Brandon discovered his identity as a gay man in this lifetime. Despite this, their bond remains unbreakable. Their friendship, nurtured by a mutual love for Peloton, a shared appreciation for dark humor, and an irresistible urge to indulge themselves, is destined to endure for eternity. Their intertwined souls not only enrich their own lives but also illuminate the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know them. They hope to eventually own their own home together where there will be an in-law suite for their husbands.
Sarah Perle
Unity Shot Girl
The hottest bartender in Orlando is about to strut down the aisle to serve Brandon and Chris their first shot as husband and husband! From Shrek raves, to Grimace's birthday party, to drunken Saturday nights at Rockin' Sushi, Sarah really knows how to live it up! In the wise words of Kesha, the party won't start until she walks in... so bring your dollar bills because she accepts tips!
Colin McDermott
Ring Bearer
Chris’ nephew and soon to be pro baseball player. He’s taught Chris every modern slang term possible. You bet He’s giving Rizz.
Natalie McDermott
Flower Girl
Chris’ niece and the biggest bluey fan you’ll ever meet. Don’t play board games with her, she always wins and will take every penny you have.
Briggs
Ring Bearer
Chris met Briggs 10 years ago at the dog rescue. When their eyes met, he knew it was a perfect match. Five years later he met Brandon and quickly learned how to play him for every treat in the house. He might be the moodiest old man you’ll ever meet, but Briggs is going to steal the show.
