For the last 11 years, Barry Deutsch has coordinated every kind of wedding imaginable at the Old Church. Now, on the twilight of his semi-retirement, he invites you to participate in a very special event:
Mike & Margo's (Fake) Wedding.
You know the story; how they met last April when he tried to return a sweater vest at Forever 21. How a week after they met, Margo blissfully discovered she had a little stranger in the oven (due in October)!
How their whirlwind romance led to their fairytale engagement when Michael proposed during a rendition of Madonna's "Cherish" at the Beaverton Olive Garden Karaoke Night.
And now you, as a family member/friend/confused acquaintance/secret gay lover/stranger, are invited to their Special Day.
Can't quite recall how you know Michael (NOT Mike) and Margo? Never fear. All you have to do is select your role and your motivation ON THIS BLOG and show up in character - it's first time you'll actually know what to do with yourself at a wedding. Don't see one you like? We have more, just e-mail!
Or, if you prefer, find out your identity at the door.
Want to know who's already been cast? The main wedding party is listed below!
The rehearsal starts right at 6:30 - despite Barry's expertise, the family's running a little behind. The wedding's scheduled for 7, the reception is 7:30, and the POST-reception - where everybody comes to their senses - is at 8.
The guest list isn't limited to the recipients - bring your +1 (or more) and anybody else who springs to mind!
CAST LIST: Charismatic Wedding Coordinator: Barry Deutsch Margo: Jenn Manley Lee Michael: Dylan Meconis Father of the Groom: Kip Manley Groom's Creepy Stepmom: Rachel Edidin Minister: Jake Richmond Flower Girls: Sydney & Maddox Groom's "Roommate", Troy: Katie Lane Bride's Spinster Aunt: Jennifer "Bean" Frederick
Mike's Cousin Stan here - I'm coming to the wedding, but why did they have to schedule it today? I've got a lot of bets riding on the football games today....
I'll play the "third-string jounralist" on the wedding beat. I may or may not be monumentally depressed about the collapsing newspaper industry. My assistant may be played by Mr. Bill Mudron.
I am delighted to accept this invitation on behalf of a wedding crasher, a person who was invited last minute to lend the bride something, and someone with amnesia.
I will be channeling Doula/Midwife, with yet unnamed ulterior motives (oooh, dark, huh?) in service of our dear Margo...
I may or may not be bringing my dear friend, who suffers from intermittent social phobia...we will just have to see...
It would be honor and pleasure to come to traditional American wedding. In my country we sacrifice goat for every pound gold the bride get. Goat too big for suitcase, so I bring goat cheese okay? Thank you for invite me to wedding.
Can I go for pissed-off sorority sister who wasn't asked to be a bridesmaid? Goal: Dress to fit in with other bridesmaids and get in as many photos as possible. Convince guests of how close Margo and I are.
So, what are the bridesmaids wearing??
I'm bringing a friend, who will take a role at the door.
Just call me Aunt Bev and don't look at me like that! Yes , these are real pearls I'm wearing and did you see the brides dress? Really, what was she thinking?
Still trying to figure out which role though.
This RSVP is for Matt, Sydney, Maddox and I, btw. Though Matt might come RSVP for himself to claim a role!
