Who are these people? - Meet the Girls


It can be awkward at any party not knowing who people are. Bunch of strangers milling about and no one to really knowing one another. This can be true for anyone no matter how old or young. Here's a bit of information about each of our lovable 'Bridesbroads'!


------------

Laura

Fave Colors: Red, Pink, or Black
Fave Movie: Moulin Rouge
Loves: Music, singing, acting, dancing, Chocolate milk, sushi, costuming, video games, photography, musicals and horror movies
Hates: Wearing Shoes
Claim to Fame: Has a magical ability to make milk shoot out of Carrie's nose, and can totally pwn you in Halo.

Laura and Carrie met in Middle school through a mutual friend named Jenny. Originally Laura and Carrie kind of hated each other, though they kept civil for the benefit of Jenny. One fateful night Laura invited Carrie over for a sleepover with Jen and (with a sheepishly presented offering of cold pizza and water) a friendship started. Through middle school and high school French class the two drew funny comics, wrote stories together and passed goofy notes back and forth to amuse one another. Carrie considers Laura one of her oldest and most cherished friends.

Kat

Fave Colors: Blue
Fave Movies: Indiana Jones, the Harry Potter films, Evolution, the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Pagemaster and MANY others!
Loves: Reading, writing, creating things, art, sculpture, movies, cooking, costuming, tabletop & written rpg's, Lord of the Rings, StarWars, Star Trek, Scifi Channel and Food Network.
Hates: Liver and Colds
Claim to Fame: Roleplay Game Enthusiest, and Queen of Awesomely Cheesy Movies.

Kat is actually a friend of both Alan and Carrie. The three of them met during the tour de force at the Art Institute of Atlanta, though a mutual friend Maggie. Actually Carrie had fallen and twisted her ankle walking to the school from parking about half a block away, Maggie pulled over when she saw Alan helping Carrie hobble down a busy, sidewalk-less street and they piled into the car and into friendship. Kat eventually moved into the same apartment complex where Carrie and Alan lived, and the friends kept up the tradition of living in the same area until Summer of last year. Kat makes geek chic. She's an amazingly talented illustrator, sculptor, costumer, propmaker and has awesome taste in shoes! Currently Kat resides in East Lansing Michigan with family and her devilshly delightful fiance Gavin (whom you'll meet later). Recently she's taken up cooking (and making our mouths water with her results), you can see her exploits at her own cooking blog here!

Maggie

Fave Colors: Purple
Fave Movie: Chicago & Moulin Rouge
Loves: Art, Photography, Reading, Cooking, Jewelry making, Tennis, Dancing, Singing in the car, shoes, chocolate, butterflies, Hello Kitty, Manga/Anime, Food Network, music and Twin Peaks
Hates: Eggs and Most Seafood
Claim to Fame: Her laugh and the pod racer sound her old car used to make.

Another friend through school Maggie met Alan and Carrie. . .well funnily enough neither party can remember exactly when they first met. Originally Maggie was supposed to be a roommate in Carrie's dorm, but that somehow didn't work out through school logistics. Either way, the friendship is there and it's not going away anytime in the foreseeable future. Maggie was always trucking it the two hours back and forth from her home town in northern Georgia to Atlanta for classes. She'd sometimes crash at Kat's appartment during our days at North Chase. Maggie now lives in Atlanta with her husband Louis AKA 'Loopy' (who you will also later meet). Style, humor, and a love of all things cute, being around Maggie tends to bring a smile to anyone she's around.

Shelley

Fave Colors: Green and Earth tones
Fave Movie: Lord of the Rings, V for Vandetta
Loves: Camping, Reading, Writing, Horseback Riding, Climbing, Video Games (including WoW) miniature food, Nightmare Before Christmas, Music, History, Crime stories
Claim to Fame: Magically vanishing inside bookstores, Tea, and pwning the Alliance in WoW

Shelley and Carrie and Alan met through a mutual friend from school named Brian (another guy you'll meet). Well, eventually Brian figured out he 'liked it' and 'put a ring on it'. Shelley and Carrie share music and books, and good conversation on a regular basis. She's the perfect friend to sit down to a cup of tea (wonderfully brewed by herself) and have an intelligent conversation with. Now this doesn't mean she's not mischievous or playful. Recent proof: filling water balloons and pelting the boys with them. Shelley has a wonderful organic sense of style all of her own. She's a lovely and sometimes quiet girl who really opens up around friends and talk of pwning noobs in WoW.
