Amanda & Tyler
Wedding Party
Katsumi Alan
Bridesmaid
Everyone's favorite blue haired glitter kitty and one of the first friends Amanda made in NJ. Despite being a glitter kitty, after years of practice, we have acclimated them to the outdoors (mostly). Katsumi wears many different hats but we promised them they only have one job at the wedding this time.
MJ Chandler
Bridesmaid
Sweet, sassy, and always classy. Rumor has it that if you google "extra" her image is the first query to appear. MJ is Amanda's favorite person to cause trouble with. With their powers combined they can take on anything. Yall are going to be blessed to be in the presence of this majestic unicorn.
Valerie Willams
Bridesmaid
Amazing friend, wife, mother, teacher, baker, scheduler, and logistical genius. Val has a lot on her plate but always make time for the people she loves. Fun fact, Val is making our wedding cake. Please feel free to let her know how amazing it is. She also made Amanda's best friend, our ring bearer.
Diana Woody
Bridesmaid
Long time friend and former roommate of Amanda. If anyone can empathize with Tyler, its Diana. We are so excited to drag her away from the law books for a bit and let loose. Beware, do not argue with Diana. It is highly unlikely you will win.
Victoria Valeur
Bridesmaid
This is the one responsible for introducing us. Friend and co conspirator of both the bride and the groom for over a decade. Don't let the cute new baby fool you, she is always the life of the party. It's likely her first night out in long time so everyone is responsible for making sure she has the best time. We should probably hide the fire ball though.
Christopher Merwitz
Groomsman
Long Time Biological Brother of the Groom The groom insists that all attendees refer to his brother by his original given name, Brown Crayons. Brown Crayons has definitely liked better music for longer than the groom even though that’s extremely hard for the groom to admit
Ryan Kelly
Groomsman
Next-door Neighbor and childhood best friend of the Groom Although his friendship with the groom is old enough to run for congress, please note that this individual should be ejected from the wedding grounds immediately if he is seen punching the groom directly in the sternum.
Matt Girtler
Groomsman
Former Band-Mate and Long-Running DND Party Member of the Groom The easiest way to get this man to stop telling dad jokes is to hand him a guitar or to start discussing ancient civilizations. You have been warned.
Nick Colbert
Groomsman
Long-Time Friend and Short-Time Touring Band-Mate of the Groom The groom isn't sure how this man was able to take time off from all 53 bands he currently preforms with, writes for, and/or produces, but he is grateful regardless.
Phillip Cooper
Groomsman
Amazing Friend and Multi-Occasion Ass-Saver of the Bride, Groom, and former roommate of Amanda. While this man can and will fix literally anything (whether prompted to do so or not), any guest who asks him to do so will be personally trebuchet'd into the nearby lake by the groom.
Liam Williams
Ring Bearer
Liam begrudgingly agreed to do ring security for us (which is fair, he has been in many wedding). While we may refer to him by his given name "Monster" it does not reflect on his character. He truly is the sweetest child to exist. Monster is Amanda's favorite and there is no way we could do this without his help. If you see him eating all the treats, no you didn't.
Stetson Barnhouse
Honor Attendant
Stetson is responsible for Amanda making it past the age of 25, she couldn't have done any of this without his support and love. This man deserves many drinks and cigars for the amount of antics he has put up with.
Thista Minai
Officiant
Please dont be alarmed if you see a goddess like figure wearing all black emerge from the woods, its just Thista. When Tyler proposed they immediately knew there was only choice of who would do the ceremony. Thista has been a guide, confidant, and dear human to Amanda for many years.
Darren Quinlan
Father of the Bride
Father of the Bride and he's just happy to be here. Former Mid-Westerner to west coast convert. He can't wait to meet all of the important people in Amanda's life.
Deb Merwitz Ruggiero
Mother of the Groom
Madre of The Groom. The most supportive mom a person could hope for. She might be a wellness director who grows her own vegetables but that doesn't mean she can't and won't wine-drink you under the table.
David Merwitz
Father of the Groom
Padre of the Groom. Despite being almost twice his age, he will most likely go harder and later into the night than the groom. He is also absolutely the reason the groom is obsessed with loud music and video games.
