The Party
Sofie
Matron of Honor
When Sofie first saw Gracie, she said to herself, “She must be named Grace.” Their mutual admiration blossomed into a delightful, theatrical, faithful friendship. When Gracie returned from Nashville, she knew only one thing: she had to live with Sofie.
Sebastian
Best Man
Blaise can’t remember a time without Seb, who’s always kept life full of mischief and care.
Michelle
Matron of Honor
Neither Michelle nor Gracie have any sisters, so they decided to adopt each other. A decades-long friendship ensued, bringing on a whole lot of American Girl dolls and prairie bonnets.
Athanasius
Best Man
Even though Nashe is adopted, Seb and Blaise accepted him like their real brother. Now all grown up, Blaise and Nashe support each other in their wild side hustles.
Katie
Bridesmaid
After forming a friendship with each and every member of the Ulrich family, Gracie has spent the last four years sharing a room, and a lot of underwhelming movies and overwhelming emotions, with Katie.
Sam
Groomsman
Gracie’s little bro. Sam made sure that she went out with at least one of Viva’s brothers. Well it worked!
Leandra
Bridesmaid
Leandra came to Nashville to visit Gracie’s apprenticeship program, but she decided that she’d rather just move in with Gracie. They’ve enjoyed many adventures with art, faith, and mushroom hunting.
Zac
Groomsman
Grace’s little bro. Blaise and Zac bonded over Caroline Williams.
Viva
Bridesmaid
One of the first culprits in the scheme to set Blaise and Gracie up, Viva deserves some serious credit for this momentous day.
Fritz
Groomsman
Fritz is always up to something. A creative and hardworking Ghering, you can’t stop this caring and crazy young man. He’s a great auto mechanic too.
Lucy
Bridesmaid
Lucy, also known as the fierce huntress Shanga Moa, has endeared herself to all she meets, including Gracie.
Robert
Groomsman
Blaise’s first non-Ghering roommate, Robert and Blaise grew close while hiking and paddling the world. Robert’s dedication, intelligence, and devotion is unrivaled.
Hannah
Bridesmaid
Hannah showed up at NKU and friend-asked-Gracie-out, changing her forever and teaching her many sage lessons on female friendship, the life of prayer, and impeccable personal style.
Devin
Groomsman
Dev and Blaise met while Dev was in seminary and Blaise didn’t have a beard. Dev’s been a good friend and an excellent example.
Samuel
Groomsman
Samuel has taught Blaise a lot about fashion, brewing beer, and being a good friend.
Riley
Groomsman
A cheerful doomer, Riley keeps Grillard in equilibrium of pessimistic progress toward perfection.
