Patrick "Muff" Donaldson - Best Man
Patrick is the groom's roommate and brother, but most people can only see the resemblance in the brothers' receding hairlines. He is a law student at the University of St. Thomas and hopes to practice government law. Patrick enjoys watching movies, studying state politics and plays third base for the Walruses softball team. Bryan still holds his brother responsible for stabbing him in the hand with a pencil and breaking his train set. His service as best man should just about repay his previous transgressions. |
