Zen is the twin sister of the bride. She's way into cooking, wine, Mexican food, dancin', making up songs, turtles, and her doggie Cassius. Mike thinks it's hilarious that Zen is going to be his sister-in-law. He thinks it's even more hilarious that her husband, Spencer, will be his brother-in-law. Thanks for standin' up there with me, Zenny!

Dom is Mike's older brother. He is an attorney and a proud Aggie through and through (don't mention UT around him, or he might not be your friend). Dom and his wife, Deanna, have spawned 4 adorable intelligent boys (Dean, Gary, Max, and Lane) all of whom are under the age of 7, and two of whom are identical twins. As you can imagine, Dom is tired. We're glad he was able to make it out to the wedding to party with us! Thanks, Dom!

Bro is a classy dude. He used to be Zen's roomie in college, god bless him. He's much tidier than Zen could ever hope to be, so we know how hard that was on him. We couldn't think of anyone better to seat Aspen's mom than him. In spite of all this charisma and class, he won't hesitate to tell you that he's way into Warrant, Poison, and has been known to perform in a crazy variety show called "Discount Cruise To Hell". He wears many hats, that Bro. We're so glad you're coming out to see us, Bro!

Dana really should start her own event/wedding planning business. She's really good at this stuff, y'all. She planned her OWN gigantic super fancy formal New York City wedding a few years back without a professional planner! In 2008, she tried her hardest to do EVERYTHING for Zen's wedding, but Zen maintained some control. Aspen, who is lazier than Zen, told Dana "Hey, we're getting married. You're in charge," and Dana just ran with it gleefully. Dana's the one who's making this thing run like a tight ship--she's tellin' us where to be, how to stand, what to say and when to say it. She's pretty much unstoppable. And boy, are we glad. Thanks for all your help, Dana!

Kevin and Mike have been friends for a really long time. One time, Mike even went as Kev's legal guardian (signed the papers and everything) so the two of them could meet the Models, Inc. stars. Kev's opening up this show with a solid reading by Tom Robbins. Even though he'll be late to rehearsal, he has promised to learn his blocking and not screw it up. We trust him, seeing as how he's the Dallas Theatre scene's DANDY and is really good at that theater stuff.

Weiss (that's him on the left) is the cousin-in-law to the bride and an all around awesome guy. He loves his doggies Lucy and Sophie, his kitty Mona, and his wifey Genie (that's her on the right). He is way into partying VIP style with rock stars (ask him how cool Gavin Rossdale is--he'll tell you all about it), watching Planet Earth on his gigantic flat screen TV, and doing impromptu photo shoots at home. Weiss is an amazing fabulous graphic designer (and photographer) and can get American Apparel t-shirts at cost! Thanks for takin' our pitchers, Weiss!

Ashley Dawson & Boone Jarschke--makers of delicious Pink Cookies for the reception and fried chicken delivery saints.

Dana Jensen--crafter of some 49 paper bag luminarias, which she cut by hand into the wee hours. Also, she ran last minute wedding-related errands with Aspen and talked her off the ledge a few times. Her parents, George and Linda, bought us the cupcakes for our reception as a wedding gift. Yum!

Laura Carroll--Aspen's friend from work who called in a favor at a printer and got her invitations, RSVP cards, and maps printed for FREE!!!

Stephanie Fisher--designer of the most beautiful wedding invitations ever...ours!
