The Best Man: Dallen Wilson

Oh boy oh boy oh boy, questions! Questions that need answering.

How did you meet the Bride/Groom? I first 'met' Mistah AJ through our mutual friend James Henderson, online. We played uh, Neverwinter Nights together. Bastard overcharged me for Boots of Haste, too. We have played many other online games since then. I first met him in meatspace a goodly number of years later in Atlanta, Georgia, and we all went to a Canadian-themed restaurant. There was a talking moose-head, and I first met Morgan at that time.
What is your favorite food? Beef Stew! Also chocolate chip cookies.
What is your quest? I walk the path of the Wayfarer, and my quest is to achieve enlightment on the path of the Avatar. Also, I aspire to eat cookies.
Describe a favorite pet you have had. Toby! He is a turtle, and I still have him. Turtles are awesome.
What is the most exciting thing you've ever done? Fighting competitively as a western martial arts student, locked in almost-mortal combat for the tournament championship. An opponent well above my weight-class, shillelagh in my hand, determination in my eyes, liquor on my breath... Irish Stickfighting is Serious Business. (The runnner-up was arguably more exciting, but relating the experience would be entirely unsuitable in polite company. She had such lovely eyes.)
What is the capital of Assyria? Kar-Tukulti-Ninurta! For a while, anyway. Still counts! (Yes, I looked at Wikipedia. Assyria? Seriously?)
Is Pluto a planet? Always.
How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop? Owl-lore says three.
What is your favorite color? Red.
Crunch or creamy peanut butter? Crunchy!
Can you name the kingdoms of life? No. Though to be fair, trollish science only recognizes two: Food and Not-food.
What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? That depends entirely on the potato gun it was fired from. Propane ignition or oxy-acetylene?

Bridesmaid: Suzanne Milton

How did you meet the Bride/Groom? I'm his little sister!
What is your favorite movie? Oh man, there are way too many ... Casablanca, Sabrina, Harry Potter, Closer, The Reader, Sister Act 1 & 2, The Sweetest Thing, Mrs. Doubtfire ... shall I continue?
What is your quest? To become a successful actor. Meaning, to be able to pay my bills by acting and/or modeling and not by waiting tables or other weird side jobs I find!
Describe a favorite pet that you have had. My first cat Spooky! She was black.
What is the most exciting thing you've ever done? I've seen Celine Dion in concert twice. And yes, AJ was there for one of those performances. I doubt that falls into his list of most exciting things, though.
How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop? I'm gonna go with 3. That's what TV has taught me.
How do you like your eggs? Over medium, the way they make them for me at Waffle House when I go home go GA.
What is your favorite color? Purple.
Crunchy or creamy peanut butter? Extra crunchy!
What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? Ummm...??

Groomsman: Michael Miller

How did you meet the Bride/Groom? I met her 21 years ago, but I don't really remember much about first meeting her. I met him while attending a DramaTech play.
What is your favorite food? My mother's homemade cookies.
What is your quest? "Raid, pillage, plunder and otherwise pilfer my weasly black guts out." -Jack Sparrow
Describe a favorite pet that you have had. Shannon. She was an awesome dog.

What is the capitol of Assyria? Assur
Is Pluto a planet? It will always be a planet in my heart.
How do you like your eggs? Depends on the morning, usually scrambled.

What is your favorite color? Green
Crunchy or creamy peanut butter? Crunchy
What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? African or European?

Bridesmaid: Julie Gloss

How did you meet the Bride/Groom? I met Morgan and AJ through DramaTech. Morgan and I came in the same year, but I don't think we really crossed paths much until our third year when we worked on Macbeth together. After that year we were roommates for three years, though I think we saw far more of each other at meetings and work parties at the theater than we actually did at home.
What is your favorite movie? Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
What is your favorite food? Cheese.
What is your quest? I don't have a quest. Somehow good opportunities and experiences just keep finding their way to me.
Describe a favorite pet you have had. I grew up with the best dog ever, a black lab named Midnight.
What is the most exciting thing you've ever done? Ask me again after I've had a chance to go bungee jumping.
How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop? A-one... a-two-hoo... a-three... *crunch*... a-THREE!
How do you like your eggs? Eggs Benedict are probably my favorite, but I rarely find myself in places where I'm willing to order them. Over easy is my next favorite form of eggs, but I have learned over multiple encounters that IHOP cooks do not know how to properly make over easy eggs, so I generally just order them scrambled.
Are You Afraid of the Dark™? I hated that show growing up. I do not like suspense.
What is your favorite color? Blue
Crunchy or creamy peanut butter? Creamy. Though occasionally I get cravings for things I couldn't stand as a kid, like crunchy peanut butter and bologna. (Not together. Ew.)
What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? I have no idea.

Groomsman: Aditya "Deech" Madhavan

How did you meet the Bride/Groom? GODDAMNMORGANSETSTHATIHADTOLIGHTDESIGN...
What is your favorite movie? Ugh, I hate picking favorites... I don't know. Dr. Strangelove. It's got Slim Pickens, Darth Vader, and nuclear bombs.
What is your favorite food? What part of "I hate picking favorites" does this questionnaire not understand? A burger with impeccable ingredients, a thick ribeye steak, pretty much with pork belly (yes, which does include bacon), a nice fatty cut of otoro nigiri.
What is your quest? The same thing we do every night ... Try to take over the world. That or the neverending quest for more downforce. With which I can take over the world.
What is the most exciting thing you've ever done? Flying a plane
Racing cars
I don't know, make something up. How about brownies?
All of the above
What is the capital of Assyria? This place no longer exists. Instead, I pose a counter-question: Who shot first?
Is Pluto a planet? No. Deal, haters.
How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop? Deech: How soon do you need these answers?
Morgan: ASAP.
Deech: then I need a tootsie roll ASAP!
How do you like your eggs? Basted.
Are You Afraid of the Dark™? I wasn't born in America.
What is your favorite color? #D40000 or R39
Crunchy or creamy peanut butter? I don't like this question, so I refuse to answer it. Actually, I just haven't ever tried crunchy peanut butter before.

What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? The Messerschmidt Me-262 Schwalbe (AKA Swallow in English), unladen with ordnance, has a cruise speed of 460 MPH and a max speed of 540 MPH.

Bridesmaid: Jessica Gibson

How did you meet the Bride/Groom? Really? I don't remember what I had for breakfast this morning. I just walked into a class and found out I have to present something. I'm sure I was told this at some point, probably repeatedly. And after class, I'll spend 20 minutes wandering through a parking garage looking for my car which will probably be parked in the same spot I've been parking in since 2011. You want me to remember something that happened years ago? HAHAHAHA.
Morgan tells me I met her at Eric's lake house, so that is probably right - I've seen pictures so I know I was there. I do remember working with her on The Scottish Play.
I'm assuming AJ came and kept me from stapling my foot to a set or something. It was a long time ago. Maybe Midsummer Night's Dream with the ton of muslin-mache someone decided to add to the set.
What is your favorite movie? Mawage. Mawage is wot bwings us togeder tooday. Mawage, that bwessed awangement, that dweam wifin a dweam.
What is your quest? The Strength of One's Foes
Describe a favorite pet that you have had. Seriously? Who could pick just one? I have these leopard geckos that accidentally produced more leopard geckos. Those are pretty adorable what with how they smile all the time. Want one? No, really. Free to a good home!
What is the most exciting thing you've ever done? One time, I hooked up this guy at the theatre with this chick who worked at the same theatre for my personal amusement. That turned out pretty exciting. [Jess is referring to AJ and Morgan.]
What is the capital of Assyria? Did they have nuclear weapons? Nope? Then they aren't a real state so I don't need to know. Because history says that only states with nuclear weapons matter. Not those little awesomely advanced nations from the Middle East several thousand years ago. We don't study those in Georgia.
Is Pluto a planet? Nope. I'm a firm believer in the Holst Planetary Model. Despite the fact that it leaves out the rock we are currently inhabiting...
Are You Afraid of the Dark™? You know I was like 8 when that was on TV, right? I did mention I can't remember what I had for breakfast, right? I think I deserve a piece of candy just for knowing what you are referring to.
What is your favorite color? Something in the 450-495nm range.
What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? Before business school: Forced labor of "native" workers for the personal material gain or amusement of "others" reinforces the Eurocentric sociall constructed power structure epitomized in the development of the Westphalian "system" which oppresses and revises non-conformist "opinions" to the detriment of all.
After business school: If you deregulate the industries dependent upon the Hirundindae (swallows, swifts, and nightjars for the non-bird watcher) family for transportation I can raise my margins another 5% and increase development in their home nations. I promise, it won't be like forced labor at all. Also, how big a hawk can I have to chase the bird? Because it can go at least 20MPH faster on 1/3 food rations if I have a bigger hawk.

Groomsman: Chris Pryby

How did you meet the Bride/Groom? After the DT banquet in 2010; we went to Sushi House and made fun of Deech as he told bad jokes about North Korea and went meticulously over the rules of the Grabitution.
What is your favorite movie? Duck Soup
What is your quest? I seek the Grail!
What is the most exciting thing you've ever done? Probably my role as Ariel in The Pillowman.
What is the capital of Assyria? Assur... when Assyria still existed.
Is Pluto a planet? "If Neptune were analogized with a Chevy Impala in mass, then how big is Pluto compared with that? Pluto would be a matchbox car sitting on the curb" -NDT
How do you like your eggs? Benedict.
Are You Afraid of the Dark™? Used to be. Still am, but used to be too.
What is your favorite color? Meine Lieblingsfarbe ist... naja, wie soll ich das in deiner Sprache ausdr�cken? Eine Art Gr�n, aber mit mehr Dimensionen.
Crunchy or creamy peanut butter? Creamy, you heathen.
What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? The estimated average cruising speed of an unladen European swallow is 25MPH. there is unfortunately insufficient data to estimate the velocity of an African swallow (even if you specified which of the 47 species of swallow in Africa you meant).

Bridesmaid: Katie Zimmerman

How did you meet the Bride/Groom? I first met Morgan when we were sitting outside of one of the massive freshman classrooms at Georgia Tech, waiting for our Intro to Bio class to start. Somehow where we were from came up in conversation, and we discovered that we both grew up in East Cobb, and it snowballed from there. We discovered we had more in common and, by the powers combined of a few others, we both wound up at DramaTech. Which is, of course, how Morgan met AJ. I don't remember my very first meeting with AJ, though I remember a general impression of him being loud and old and Southern! Through all of our adventures at DramaTech, I never guessed that ultimately they'd wind up together, but as soon as they did, I think that I along with everyone else realized how perfect they were for each other. And then it just became a matter of time before they'd be tying that knot... and I think I voice the opinion of many when I say, "It's about time!" Love you both <3
What is your favorite movie? Not so much favorites as movies I can watch again and again: Ten Things I Hate About You, Penelope, Mask of Zorro, Princess Bride, Mulan
What is your favorite food? SEAFOOD. I love it ALL.
What is the most exciting thing you've ever done? Climbing to the top of Mount Moria and throwing the One Ring into the lava-filled mine, where it burst into a million tiny Triforces. Then I didn't have a way down until the X-Jet rescued me and took me to Munchkinland, where I melted Voldemort with a bucket of soapy water. It was all very exciting. I've also gone scuba diving in the Phillipines and gone on missions in Uganda. Those were cool too.
Is Pluto a planet? Yes. In my heart, it always will be.
How do you like your eggs? Over easy, baby.
What is your favorite color? Green!
Crunchy or creamy peanut butter? Creamy, all the way.

Groomsman: Jim Henderson

How did you meet the Bride/Groom? Met AJ playing a text-based MMO called Medievia. To this day I have no idea why we played it, probably for the same reason you keep crappy jobs: for the people. Viva!
What is your favorite movie? Lucky Number Slevin
What is your favorite food? Steaaaaaak
What is your quest? Work hard, game hard. Eat, drink, tell bad jokes and be merry with my future wife on my arm while artfully dodging trivial drama and stupidity. It is a many-faceted, long term elite quest with legendary rewards.
Describe a favorite pet you have had. Tiberius the pint-sized, ridiculous lion of a dog. 7 pounds of incredibly amusing acrobatics and personality.
What is the most exciting thing you've ever done? Proposing in front of Cinderella's castle, thousands of people, and a photographer, and hearing "yes".
