Shelby aka Shelberry, is one of the toughest, most loyal, and kind-hearted people you’ll ever meet. We became fast friends through D&D and often act as two halves of the same lovable idiot. Her nerdy interests include tabletop campaigns, video games, and getting lost in a good book, and when she’s not doing that, she’s a competitive powerlifter! She keeps me grounded, shows up no matter what, and she’s also the master matchmaker who introduced Colin and me!!!
Chandler Zero aka Chandler Bee, Chan, or Panda (once upon a time) has been in my life since sixth grade, so we’ve been friends for almost 20 years. We survived the awkward teenage years together, bonding over our nerdy interests and even going to our first con together. In college we reunited for PJ nights at Chrome (Chrome will always be home RIP T_T) and late-night crafting marathons. Chan is insanely creative, endlessly supportive, and the kind of friend who always comes through for you! Thanks for adopting me as your "Robin"!
Alice Wolf is our 7-year-old flower girl and the daughter of Best Man Eric. She loves red pandas, playing with her Barbies, and bringing a little extra fun and sparkle wherever she goes. We’re so happy she’ll be part of the day.
Eric Wolf is a man of such large caliber. The effort and passion he brings to life, and to the people lucky enough to be in his orbit, truly knows no bounds. Cheers to my favorite suburban dad and the incredible family he’s built. I met Eric through college and a mutual job, and somewhere between long shifts and life talks, he became one of the best friends a person could ask for!
August Gideon is charisma personified. There is never a dull second with August and that’s what I love about him. I met August through college and a mutual job, and I’ve been grateful for that ever since. He has a way of making every season of life more memorable just by being himself. I’m proud to have him standing up there with me.
Robyn’s parents, Chris and Dee, have been married for 36 years and built a life around adventure and a whole lot of love. Chris is a big baseball fan and always has music playing or a guitar in hand, while Dee has a soft spot for animals and a knack for keeping plants happy. They love any excuse to head to Disney, where they actually got engaged on their “fake honeymoon,” and spend fall weekends at Penn State games. When they are not at a park or a stadium, you can usually find them in Maine with their dog Kricket!
Shirley Moore is a mother of four and the steady center of it all. She’s as tough as nails and kinder than anyone I’ve ever met. I couldn’t imagine my life being as good as it is without her. She’s a nurse, and caring for people is just part of who she is.
Kree is the eldest daughter of the Barebo-McGee household, an 8-year-old Giant Schnauzer named after the villains from Captain Marvel. The nerdy name was how I knew she was meant to come home with me. She serves as the first ranger of the bay window, keeping the yard safe from rabbit and bird folk alike. In her downtime, she demolishes squeaky toys and enjoys stealing Mom’s spot in bed so she can cuddle with Dad.
Booper, also known as Gabby, is an 8-ish-year-old African Grey parrot with a big personality. She loves tearing up boxes and snacking whenever she can. Her favorites include peanuts, unsalted tortilla chips, and dried papaya. Her special talents include whistling, perfectly imitating the dead-battery chirp of a smoke detector, and the sound of a truck backing up. She’s a total daddy’s girl through and through.
Benjamin, aka Ben or Sir Swigity Swooty, is one of the most dapper gentlemen in the Barebo-McGee household. He’s a 6-year-old Giant Schnauzer who lives for love, attention, and snacks - just like his older sister, Booper. While he enjoys his regular treats, he’s always hoping to score a piece of Dad’s leftover pizza crust or, on a very good day, a prized chicken nuggie.
Leo, the littlest of the Leos, is a 5-ish-year-old cockatiel with a sweet, gentle personality. She loves millet, vibing on her little bridge, and soaking up all the attention she can get. An affectionate girl through and through, she lives for scritches and hanging out with her favorite peeps.
Beau, who’s named after Beauregard Lionett of the Mighty Nein, is the newest addition to the household. She recently learned how to fly and we're very proud of her. Just like her namesake, she’s a tough little gal who isn’t afraid to make herself known. She loves getting kisses from Dad, singing, chatting away, and learning the ropes from her big sister, Leo.
