RSVPs to Mary's shower...thus far

 

IMA GUDFREND

Pastry Chef | Maid of Honor

Ima Gudfrend is the bride’s BFF, always ready with jokes and questionable life advice. “Silly” might as well be her legal middle name, and between her pastry chef chaos and boy-crazy antics, she’s the group’s certified wild child.

Ima is the host of Mary's bridal shower, and it will be held at her home, in Mystical Falls.  The rumor is that Ima argued with Mary over a few of the guests that were invited but at the end of the day - it's Mary's party and what Mary says, goes. Ima isn't happy about it, though.

Costume: Chef’s outfit and spatula as a prop.

 

MARY A. FELO

Talk Show Host | Bride-to-be

Mary Felo is the textbook hopeless romantic, finally tying the knot with her high school sweetheart, Harry Iznace—the town’s most infamous proctologist. Sweet as sugar and prone to bursting into song at random, Mary is basically living in a kid’s movie. If she could sing her vows instead of saying them, she absolutely would. Maybe she will, actually?

Mary and Harry have dated since the first day of high school. Everyone always knew they'd tie the knot and make it official. Their senior year, they were voted the couple most likely to get married and have a big family and two dogs! 

Mary is worried about impressing her new mother-in-law (to-be), Enerbe Iznace. It seems that nothing Mary does is ever good enough. Mary's told Ima that she wants nothing held back for this shower - everyone they ever knew is to be invited. 

Costume:  Casual attire with a bridal shower veil, tiara, or hat.

 

ROSE SPRAYAH

 Fragrance Model | Friend of the Bride

Rose Sprayah has one mission in life: shove perfume-sample cards into unsuspecting hands at the department store. She’s loud, brash, and convinced she’s done everything better than you ever could. Don’t try to one-up her—she’s already climbed higher in heels.

Many shoppers at the Galleria have filed complaints with management about Rose spraying them with random fragrances as they pass by. Rose has quietly admitted to friends that she does it on purpose, convinced that if women catch a whiff, they’ll get hooked and come back to buy a bottle from her. Since she started the strategy - the plan hasn’t worked—she’s racked up more angry customers than sales, which still stand at zero.

Costume: Elegant dress and hair with a perfume bottle as a prop.

 

DR. TESSIE TUBER

 Scientist | Aunt of the Bride

Dr. Tuber, the intellectual aunt of the bride, knows how to wield both a lecture and a guilt trip. Brilliant in the classroom but quick to point fingers, she thrives on finding fault. Around her, mistakes don’t just get noticed—they get announced.

Hopefully nothing goes wrong at the bridal shower, because Dr. Tuber will turn it into a full-scale investigation, complete with assigning blame. Warm potato salad? Meeting called immediately. After reviewing the evidence—clearly Ima’s fault. Mud tracked onto the carpet? No trial needed—Mary’s shoe already tells the story. That’s exactly how it will go unless someone reins Tessie in.

Costume: Lab jacket and test tube as a prop.

​

KARA TINN

  Hairstylist | Bridesmaid

If you can survive thirty minutes of her nonstop antics at the salon, Kara Tinn will give you the best haircut of your life. Known for spitting out spontaneous rhymes and spinning wild lies, she’s the salon’s drama queen and scissor-artist rolled into one. Kara’s motto? “Chaos first, conditioner second.”

However, maybe her high energy antics are finally catching up, as her salon chair gets dust on it every now and then. Maybe many of her former clients in Mystical Falls are making the drive to a neighboring city to avoid having to make an appointment with Kara?  

Costume: Outrageous and trendy outfit – very wild hairstyle. 

 

IONE FELO

Pageant Director | Mother of the Bride

Ione Felo, the bubbly mother of the bride and a veteran beauty pageant director, practically radiates cheer. Her nonstop doting on Mary can grate on everyone’s nerves, but her booming laugh is impossible not to catch. She’s the type to clap the loudest at the rehearsal dinner… even if no one else is clapping.

Ione has a tumultuous relationship with her four sisters, but Mary wanted everyone who lives locally invited to her shower. Ione tried to get Mary to make the shower only for the bride's family and friends, but Mary wouldn't hear of it, demanding that Ima invite her new mother-in-law-to-be, who Mary is so desperately trying to win over. 

Costume: Semi-formal dress with up-do hairstyle.

 

TRIANNE THINGROS

 Reality TV Star | Bridesmaid

Reality TV star Trianne Thingros is the perfect storm of apathy and ruthless competitiveness. Her bad behavior may be jaw-dropping, but it’s prime-time gold. If a challenge pops up, you can bet she’s already mic’d up and ready to make it a storyline. Anything for content, people!

Mary had to consider the pros and cons of inviting this wild TV star, but felt that anyone who had a large social media following should be invited - whether or not they might start crazy challenges with the guests amidst the bridal shower games. Mary believes viral social media posts will impress Harry's family. 

Costume: Very casual attire with a bag of plastic insects as a prop.

 

TARILYN TONROW

Film Star | Bridesmaid

Hollywood starlet Tarilyn Tonrow is a masterclass in narcissism and insensitivity. Her toxic charm has somehow kept her in the spotlight, though most of her “friends” seem suspiciously employed by her. Tarilyn’s red carpet motto? “Step on toes—preferably in stilettos.”

Tarilyn has made a few poor choices in accepting roles lately, with her last flick bombing at the Box Office and moving to streaming in only days after the release. Tarilyn swears it was a 'nothing burger,' and that her career is still on the right trajectory. But the celebrity gossip influencers all think differently. 

Costume: Glamorous attire and sunglasses.

 

PURPLE

Pop Star | Bridesmaid

Purple’s latest hit single, “I’ll Kill You If You Speak Again,” basically says it all. This pop diva is knee-deep in anger management classes, but her temper still pops off without warning. If you breathe too loudly near her, don’t be surprised if your sound bite makes her next remix. She turns anything into music.

It's rumored that Purple is making a new record which might be even worse - as far as content goes -than her last one. The townies of Mystical Falls wished she would turn her song topics to more positive content, as it is starting to reflect poorly on the town, being that Purple was born and raised here. 

Costume: Pop star outfit with a crazy wig or colored spray for the hair.

 

JUWANA B. ONTIVEE

 Film Producer | Friend of the Bride

“Do it once and check it five times” might be Juwana’s mantra, but on the dance floor, she’s pure chaos. This obsessive film producer can’t help but take over a party with her frantic moves and high-energy vibes. She’s the first one on the floor and the last one dragged off it.

Juwana has asked Mary to put a statement on the bridal shower invitations about not asking her during the shower about movie roles. Juwana has stated on her social media platforms that anyone asking her for a part in a movie will be ignored. Hopefully, everyone just talks to her about the weather so she can keep her sanity. 

Costume: Casual attire with a clapboard as a prop (this can be made of cardboard).

 

MRS. ENERBE IZNACE

Housewife | ​Mother of the Groom

Enerbe is every “mother-in-law” stereotype rolled into one—meddling, judgmental, and way too invested in her son’s marriage. Mary has no idea what she’s in for, but Enerbe is already taking notes on how she’ll “improve” her. She could author a book called How to Ruin a Marriage Before It Starts without doing research.

Enerbe expressed concern about Ima Gudfrend being the host of the shower, so she demanded that Ima not invite any of the Iznace family. She did not want to be shamed if the shower was not proper or hosted correctly. Enerbe will host a shower for Harry's side of the family with Harry as the focus, and Mary won't be invited. However, Enerbe has asked Ima to invite her good friend, Gerry Rivera, who is a well-known news reporter. Rumor has it that Ima is declining her request, but time will tell. Ima believes Gerry only wants to attend Mary's shower to get the scoop on the handful of celebrities that will be in attendance. 

Costume: Prim and proper dress with an apron and rubber dish-washing gloves as a prop. 

 

OLIVE FORMATHE

Mathematician | Cousin of the Bride

Olive Formathe is the frugal math whiz cousin with a talent for equations—and unsolicited commentary. Known for her quirky humor and snort-laughs, she’ll keep you both entertained and slightly embarrassed to be in public with her. If there’s a number to crunch, Olive’s already on it with a coupon in hand.

Olive hasn't embraced her nerdiness like her mother, Poindexi Beenie. Poindexi tells Olive continuously that being a nerd is a good thing, and that it means she's smart and talented. However, Olive is a self-shamed nerd and will get irritated if anyone acknowledges she is even a little bit nerdy. 

Costume: Nerdy outfit with glasses taped in the middle.
