The Wedding Party
KT Brickman
Matron of honor (Queen Katharine)
KT is the eldest of the Hessler girls. Fran once tried to save KT's life when someone threw a dead raccoon at her from a moving car. All Fran could do was laugh.
Selina Cardy
Maid of honor (Yenies)
Selina is Fran's best friend from college and like a sister to her. In college the two of them couldn't go anywhere by themselves without someone asking where the other was. Fran and Selina have too many funny stories together. Every time they hang out something outrageous happens.
Victoria Hessler
Bridesmaid (Empress Victoria)
Victoria is the 3rd Hessler girl. Fran and Victoria once reenacted a scene from Star Wars in the backyard using brooms as light sabers. We have it on tape.
Mary Hessler
Bridesmaid (Goddess Mary)
Mary is the youngest of the Hessler girls. When Mary was a baby, before bed her mother would put her in what is now know as a sleep sack. It is exactly what it sounds like; a sack with arms for your baby. Fran and her sisters would wrap up the bottom of the sack and drag little Mary across the carpeted family room floor. Mary would laugh and laugh with her cute little baby face. Fran and her sisters would do this until they couldn't breath from laugher or until their mother yelled at them.
Michelle Kautzman-Kram
Bridesmaid (MK)
Michelle is a super good friend of Fran's and her former boss. Michelle and Fran went on a pirate cruise that ended with Fran throwing Michelle's sandals out the window of the car because they were ugly and Michelle wrestling with Kelly in Fran's living room.
Clare Audy
Bridesmaid
Clare is a super good friend of Fran's from college and also the person who introduced Fran and Kelly at her wedding. For Clare's bachelorette party Fran and Clare drove 6 hours to Dewey beach which is only 2 hours away. Partied with a bachelor party, swam in the ocean at 2am, and made a new friend with a short creepy bouncer.
Darcy Grisier
Bridesmaid
Darcy is Kelly’s only sister. Fran and Darcy have not spent too much time together but when they do it is always fun. When Fran and Kelly moved Darcy showed up with a gallon of paint and painted their whole kitchen. Fran looks forward to having many fun moments with Darcy. One girl can’t have too many sisters; can she?
Sean Grisier
Best Man
Kelly's older brother who hails from Dallas, TX. Sean is a proud University of Arkansas graduate. In 2010, Sean and Kelly attended the Cotton Bowl to cheer on the Arkansas Razorbacks as they defeated the Kansan State Wildcats. Sean can grow more facial hair in a twelve-hour period than Kelly will in his entire lifetime. In addition to raising his growing family and livestock, Sean is an avid fantasy football player (not a good one though).
Marc Lizmi
Groomsmen
Kelly's best friend who is cooler than the other side of the pillow. Since the eighth grade, Marc and Kelly have followed in each other's footsteps. Initially, it started with their fascination of video games and hip-hop music. Almost a decade later, nothing has changed as both were engaged in 2013 and married in 2014. One day, Marc will find the gym and seek to match Kelly's physical superiority. Kelly will be in Marc's wedding party.
Herby Geary
Groomsmen
Kelly's college friend and native of Salisbury, MD. When they first met, Herbert surprised Kelly with his shared appreciation of Halo and Justin Timberlake's music. It's normal for two guys to know the words to every Justin Timberlake song, right? Herbert and Kelly remain in close contact, regularly exchanging text messages about Washington, DC sport teams. Kelly was in Herbert's wedding party.
Nick Bohn
Groomsmen
Kelly's college friend and roommate. Kelly and his family adore Nick because of his his caring, outgoing personality. Nick, who is originally from New Jersey, lives in Frederick, MD. Even though Nick cheers for Philadelphia sport teams, he shouldn't be perceived as a bad person (try to get over the surfer lingo and etiquette too). Nick's hobbies include hunting and purchasing vehicles with extensive maintenance issues. Kelly will be in Nick's wedding party.
David Ring
Groomsmen
Kelly's friend and co-worker. David is a Long Island, NY native and will remind you of that fact on a daily basis. If you're looking for obscure or uninteresting information related to the Empire State, then David is your most valuable resource. David and Kelly both have strong opinions, especially when it comes to their respective sport teams. When it comes to national security, Kelly values David's experience and knowledge.
Larry O'Hara
Groomsmen
Kelly's friend. Larry, who was born and raised in Frederick, MD, served as Kelly's cross-country and track coach during his senior year at Mount St. Mary's University. Larry and Kelly became friends over discussions about their favorite skits from the Dave Chappelle Show. Larry routinely schools Kelly on the origins of hip-hop music and baseball statistics. Today, Larry and Kelly exchange emails with hip-hop freestyle sessions and underground artists. Kelly was in Larry's wedding party.
