Amanda and Laura text mostly about TV, Broadway, Dawson’s Creek, Entertainment gossip, and Gilmore Girls. We would prefer you not to bring up the Gilmore Girls finale because it will only make us extremely angry/sad. Not a great topic to discuss on the wedding day.
Ashley Staples – The reason why there is a “McHoodie”. Ashley was Laura’s co-worker at Stevenson. She was also Aaron’s classmate at NC State (grad school). Laura and Ashley go to see Broadway shows in NYC where she works (NYU). She will also act as the minister for the Wedding Ceremony.

Lucas Hood – Aaron’s younger brother. He is a recent graduate from Florida International University where he was studying to be an actor. Laura secretly is marrying Aaron so that one day she may be invited to a large world premier for a movie or play that Lucas will be starring opposite of Neil Patrick Harris.

He once beat an Olympian in swimming when he was 10. His special skills are quoting movies, filming his kids dancing, and yelling inappropriately (ask him about my high school graduation).
Kevin McGrath – Laura’s older brother of 31 years. He lives in San Diego, CA and will rub it in your face whenever he can. He hates the cold and likes video games, Vegas, and camping. He has been told that he is the funniest and smartest McGrath. Jury is still out on that though.
BABIES!

Ciara McGrath (Flower Girl) – Ciara is Laura’s niece. She turns 2 the day after the wedding. She always has a smile on her face and likes to do everything Patrick does.
(They both have been practicing their wedding walk to the Darth Vader theme song. Laura doesn’t find it that funny.)
