Wedding Party

Self-sacrificing, and irreproachable, Shauna often uses Henisha as a moral compass against which she may temper her own hedonism. 

Mrs Henisha Patel

Jake and his younger brother, a father of seven and career soldier, Dakota, spent countless hours playing Final Fantasy VII as children, from which they now share a tattoo "

Captain Dakota Smith

As Shauna's very first friend, being (mostly) nice to Kathleen has been a good return on investment.

Mrs Kathleen Hong

Jake has spent one-hundred-thousand hours solving the world's problems on the phone with his older brother Matt.

Mr Matthew Allen

As the only extrovert and mother in the party, Kelley has unique talents of kindness and encouragement that the others may be lacking.

Mrs Kelley Griffin

Friends since college, Shane and Jake share a propensity for manic bursts of productivity, which bodes well when paired together.

Mr Shane Burgoon 

Friend to the couple, Josh speaks slowly and clearly and doesn't appear to have outward reactions towards stress.
