Hunkering

Realized today that it's less than three months until I'm married. Didn't think I'd have a wife at 27, but of course nobody can know what to expect for their future self.

Understandably, I'm nervous and concerned with all the things leading up to it. There are still some flights to book and things to order and Emily has been bustling around doing a great deal of work planning and the like. It's impressive.


Our website for the wedding went live a couple days ago (Here!) and I thought I'd share the segments I wrote for my groomsmen and half our officiant pair, Tym.

Michael's attendants

Wales Christian, Groomsman 
Michael met Wales his senior year of high school. His full name is Wales Martindale Christian III. One time he tried to tackle a truck. It did not work out well for Wales. Another time, he had dreadlocks. That also did not work out well for Wales. But other things have worked out for him since. Like the time he lived in a house with Michael in college. Or the times he lived in Chile, Romania, France, Chicago and even Arkansas! Oh and one last thing...if you see him, ask him to say milk. He loves it. 


Will Chodos, Groomsman 

Will is Michael's brother. He's ok, I guess. He has his own video production company. It's called Mumble and Shrug and there's a website for it and everything. Seriously Google it. It freaks Michael out sometimes. One time when Michael and William we very young, they cried about being separated from each other for a weekend. It was an isolated event that has not happened since. Sometimes Will plays guitar with his girlfriend Caitlin. Be aware that is something you may be privy to at the wedding. **SPOILER** 


Ben Chodos, Groomsman 

Ben is Michael's brother. Six months ago, Ben wandered into the Himalayas on some spirit quest thing and no one has seen him since. We're starting to really worry. If you have any information of his whereabouts, please contact Michael or any other member of the Chodos clan. Michael does hope he can make it to the wedding. (Fingers crossed.) 


Tym Kajstura, Other 

Tym is a werewolf. Michael knows it sounds crazy, but you have to believe him. For instance, when's the last time you saw him during a full moon? You can't remember, right? Oh wait, is that because you've never met him? Ok, well then just take Michael's word for it. He's a werewolf. Studying to be a DOCTOR at John's Hopkins. And he can run really long distances without taking breaks. Just. Like. A. Werewolf. Michael doesn't know much more about him because HE'S A WEREWOLF AND MICHAEL DOESN'T SPEAK WITH WEREWOLVES!
