She studied at Florida State University and graduated with a BA in Studio Art and Creative Writing. She is a freelance writer and graphic designer (mostly for t-shirts) who can fluently write in pictographic code, perform the Lindy Hop, build a crystal radio from garbage, and enjoys an in-depth knowledge of comic books and cartoons.
Suggested conversation topics include history, books, and space exploration.
Jake Bricknell
He holds more degrees than you can shake a stick at, most of them in Engineering and Education. He works as a teacher in Ontario, enjoys building potato cannons, and will happily demonstrate how you can guesstimate the number of pickles consumed in Sweden each year. He also has a sweet 1971 MGB.
Suggested conversation topics include astrophysics, TV shows, and puns.
The Wedding Party
Because as much as we love the happy couple, you're going to want to recognize more than two people at this shindig.
Dirk Fontaine
Standing in as Dude of Honor, he's a student of DePauw University with a fascination for technology and psychology. He's sincere, funny, and (did I mention?) single.
Lauren's Parents
These two are Tampa natives, which means both that they will probably be cold and they have a knowledge of Disney parks that rivals that of most cast members. They have a grand total of three children, love dogs, and operate an outdoor bar on the weekends.
Marc Benoit
As a Best Man, husband, and father of three, Marc's days of running from the police are over. Mostly over. He only runs from the police when Jake's involved.
Jake's Parents
For these two, marrying off Jake is just one step in what will be a long line of celebrations. They have five more children, all of whom are equally charming, and one freaking adorable grandchild. They live in Loretto and occasionally break up Asian theft rings.
