Kara Tinn
Bridesmaid & Hairstylist
If you can stand to sit through thirty minutes of obnoxious behavior, you should get your tresses styled by Kara Tinn – she’s the best in town!

Mother of the Bride & Pageant Director
The doting mother of the bride and successful beauty pageant director, Ione Felo, is one lady whose face is plastered in the dictionary by the definition of cheerful!

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Semi-formal dress with up-do hairstyle.
Trianne Thingros
Bridesmaid & Reality T.V. Star
Apathy and ultra-competitiveness sum up this reality television star! Trianne Thingros's ill-mannered behavior can be shocking sometimes, but it’s well-suited for reality television shows. There isn’t much that Trianne hasn’t done on television, but if there is a challenge ahead of her, she’s the first to dive in and try it!
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Trendy casual attire with a bag of plastic insects as a prop.
Ms. Tarilyn Tonrow
Bridesmaid & Film Star
Watch out for Ms. Tarilyn Tonrow - there aren't too many starlets in Hollywood as narcissistic and insensitive as her. It’s surprising she still has friends, as her rude behavior drives most everyone away - unless they’re on her payroll.

Purple
Bridesmaid & Pop Star
Her newest hit single, ‘I’ll kill you if you speak again,’ says all you need to know about Purple! She’s in the midst of a 12-step program learning to control her severe anger management problem. So, be careful what you say around this moody & aggressive pop diva!
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Pop star outfit with a crazy wig or colored spray for the hair.

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Casual attire with clapboard as a prop (this can be made from cardboard).
Mrs. Enerbe Iznace
Mother of the Groom & Housewife
Enerbe is the living cliché of a ‘mother-in-law’! She’s the typical meddling housewife with nothing better to do than live her life vicariously through her son. Mary Felo doesn’t realize that she has a life ahead of her filled with failed attempts to live up to the impossible standards of the ‘perfect wife and mother model’ that she’s created for her beloved son.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Prim and proper dress with apron and rubber dishwashing gloves as a prop.
Olive Formathe

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Nerdy outfit with glasses taped in the middle.
Rose Sprayah
Friend of the Bride & Fragrance Model
Rose Sprayah is ready and willing to shove a fragrance-soaked card in your hand at the local department store. But watch out—because whatever you have ever done, said, or climbed, Rose has done more, said it louder, and climbed higher!

Tessie Tuber
Aunt of the Bride & Scientist
Dr. Tuber is your typical intellectual college professor and the loving aunt of the bride. However, make sure nothing goes wrong around her. She is the first to point the finger of blame, which might be at you. Blame is her game!
