Ladies and Gentlemen
The Ladies
This was a rocky road to finding my bridesmaids because two of the three original gals were having problems. The first problem for those two was that neither of them wanted to wear a dress even thought I was letting them pick the style so long as they all agreed on one of the color swatches I gave them. The other problem is that those two don't exactly have a lot of money; one because she hasn't had a job in a year and a half and lives with her parents, the other because she says she's poor. Why either of them have a problem getting money is beyond me because my third friend, who hasn't given me any grief, works at Walmart and is going to grad school but is still going to make it for me.
Ugh, whatever the case I gave the two until Dec 25th to decide if they could be bridesmaids so my fiancee would know how many groomsmen he would need. I called my four sisters before calling the two questionable girls and found that they would be willing to step up if I needed them. Upon calling my friends on the 25th I confirmed that they wouldn't be able and were unwilling to be my bridesmaids; looks like I'll be using my sisters after all.

Maid of Honor - Chey
Chey and I have definitely been through so much that there's really not enough time or space to recount everything. Since I helped move her far away to Kansas I've been severely missing my kooky friend. I'm glad she's going to grad school but I'm pestering her with all the jobs I find that she would be qualified for to bring her back to WAZZU. She has been nothing but helpful to me since I got engaged and I couldn't have asked for a better Maid of Honor.
Renee
Because I'm the eldest and she's the 2nd, she and I have been constantly fighting since we were children but as soon as we were not living in the same space together for too long it's been rather great. I guess once we didn't have to "fight for dominance" we didn't have anything to fight about. She's now over in Pennsylvania doing an internship to become a dietitian and is a great cook.
This picture of her is from her 6th birthday in 1991.

Rachel
Third eldest and one of the crazies but at the same time crazy can be fun. She recently graduated from Penn State and is now looking for a job.
She's the one on the left and I think it's from 1993 or 94

Andrea
The fourth eldest and the other crazy one who is still in college. Since she's in the Air Force ROTC I think that means she can wear her dress blues or we can just make her wear what everyone else is wearing.

Gale
The fifth and youngest sister, but not the youngest sibling, out of all of us. She recently graduated from high school and she'll be going to Penn State in the spring. Although she still needs practice to hone her skill, her art and animations are quite good; truly she is the geekiest out of all of my siblings.
This is her from a band competition in 2005.

The Gentlemen
Chuck has finally picked out and asked some guys to be his groomsmen. I'm still searching for pictures for all of them but here they are:
