They say nothing compares to the original. Never has that been more true than for Alex Mulholland--the original Mulholland brother. Some say the first born has lost a step or two, but real ones know he can still light up a party like nobody else. With calf muscles like a leg of mutton, watch out on the dance floor as he will outlast anybody when it comes to shakin’ tush. "Mahi mahi" aka "Mully" aka "Uncle Buck" still holds the world record for putting up with the most stupid all-time James moves. Always handled with tact and grace, he can reliably be counted on to provide an encouraging "Are you an idiot?" Or "My god you're dumb" when the situation dictates. But through it all Alex remains James' biggest cheerleader and role model. Paving the way and setting an example of how to do it right for his brothers to follow. They truly wouldn't be where they are without him.

Third of the brothers, but certainly not last, "Toph Baby" (TM) sits in that oh so comfortable pocket between pissing straight excellence and absolute bafoonery. Need an ER nurse to prep a gunshot wound victim for surgery? He's got it. Need to build a computer from the ground up with enough power to hack the Pentagon? He's your guy. Need someone to take their shirt and belt off and get people to play limbo with it in a sweaty bar basement? He's got that too. The man is truly unstoppable. But most of all he is kind, caring, and capable of anything he sets his mind to--including inspiring his older brother to be the same.

Rose, my matron of honor, is a remarkable woman and an amazing older sister. Fluent in four languages, her brilliance shines through her every conversation. Kind-hearted and animal-loving, she has a natural gift for connecting with others. Her creativity knows no bounds - every ounce of artistic ability among the Blanchard children was used up when Rose was born (ask her about what she's knit recently for an example).

Gabe, my bridesman, is my ultimate travel buddy and confidant - we have hiked, kayaked, skied, cycled, walked, eaten, and drank our way through more beautiful places than I can count. With a curious mind, sharp wit, and boundless kindness, he's always ready for the next adventure.
