Bride's Brigade
Vice Bride - Christina "Bean" Fischer
Bean and Tarah attended the same middle school, and even shared a class together, though they never spoke to each other. At the time, Bean ran with a rough crowd and Tarah thought of her as a tough girl who was probably best to keep a distance from. Contrary to that belief, Bean was a tough, but feminine athlete who later became Student Body President of her high school. Having no contact throughout high school, both were surprised to find that they would work together at Tarah's first real job at the Esquire IMAX theatre. There they established a strong friendship that would carry them through failed relationships, the loss of friends and family, separation by state and continent, many nights on the town, group trips to Vegas and the birth of her daughter, Melia. Through life's changes, ups and downs, they've remained close, although they often argue like sisters.
As Vice Bride, Bean is responsible for ensuring that the bride makes it to the altar. She's Tarah's "Number One" and will take the reigns should the bride be unavailable.

Conductor of Chaos - Bob "Bobbers" Roberts
Tarah originally contacted Bob, a native of Tennessee, in 2001 though the long-gone dating website Kiss.com. Being a thespian and having worked locally in many aspects of live theater, she was excited to find someone who had heavy interest in both theatre and geek subjects. With a goal to make connections with people all over the country, she started a dialog with Bob. Eight years and three trips later, they still share a strong bond that has never diminished with time or distance. Bob is an incredibly creative, driven and supportive friend.
As Conductor of Chaos, Bob will help the bride and groom organize the logistics of their ceremony and reception, and will alleviate them of distractions by managing all event day activities and responsibilities. Currently an events coordinator and fundraiser for a Nashville non-profit, Bob is also one of the founders and board members of a theatrical non-profit, a fantastic writer, an organized director and a dedicated actor.
There isn't anyone else that Tarah and Josh would trust with this complex and extremely important position.

Bridal Cowgirl - Kristina "K" Borchin
Friends off and on since fifth grade, Kristina and Tarah have shared a long and argumentative history. Their differences, once a cause for raised voices and stomping feet, have become their reasons for enjoying each other. Their commonalities, including their commitment to the environment and the right of every citizen to be heard, has found them on the same side of the political line. The proverbial devil's advocate, Kristina has helped Tarah to look beyond herself and consider other possibilities and opinions other than her own. In the summer of 2005, K honored Tarah by making her a bridesmaid at her beautiful beach-side wedding to husband Jake. Today, K and Tarah spend one-on-one time laughing, letting out the dorks inside and being each other's "girly" friend whenever possible.
