Bridesmaids

		Dana Hamerman (matron of honor) is my older, wiser sister. She lives in Encino (Los Angeles), California with her husband Mitch and baby Dylan who will be celebrating his first birthday on May 23, 2003. Dana works as a speech therapist and she hopes that I won't ask her to wear an orange dress.
	Adrienne Rain is my friend from Stanford and the Leukemia Society's Team in Training Triathlon program (however, only one of us did Ironman Canada in August 2002). Rain displays her decorating talents throughout her house in Belmont, California. Rain is an administrator for a pediatric program at UC San Francisco and she secretly likes frilly dresses with puffy sleeves.
		Julie Stanford is my design business partner (Sliced Bread Design). She lives in her new home in Mountain View, California with her husband Scott. Julie and Scott will be celebrating their first anniversary on May 18, 2003. Julie is my friend despite my secret plot to make her go kayaking.
	Laura Klein is my college friend from the Stanford band. She lives in Mountain View, California with her boyfriend Eric and his son Courtland. Laura is a web application programmer and aspiring writer. Do not believe anything Laura tells you about me.
		Margaret Adam was one of my college roommates. She lives in Mountain View, California with her husband Johann and baby Margot. Margaret is a pediatric fellow in medical genetics at Stanford University. Margaret and Johann will be celebrating their fifth anniversary on May 17, 2003.
	Stacy Holdorf is my college friend from the Stanford band. She lives in Mountain View, California in her smashingly decorated studio apartment. Stacy is an architect currently laying low working in a business office. Stacy, like Laura, likes to make up untrue stories about me. All those stories are actually about Stacy but she gets confused.
