Elliana Turner | Wedding assistant

• Full Name: Elliana Alix Turner

• Nationality: American (born in coastal North Carolina, where the church bells ring soft and the ocean sings louder) Ethnicity: Mixed (Latin and white); roots tangled in both gospel choirs and backyard quinceañeras Age: 20

• Hair: Blonde and wavy, soft as seafoam and usually tied back with a silk ribbon or a flower crown leftover from craft hour Eyes: Brown, rich and steady, like a sunset caught in a mason jar—warm enough to make you feel like you belong Body: 5'7", soft and sturdy; dresses like comfort is a calling and always has room for one more hug Face: Freckled nose, round cheeks, and a smile that makes you feel forgiven for things you haven’t even confessed yet

• Features: Ears full of mismatched earrings and tiny studs—one shaped like a heart, one like a star. A pale burn scar on her forearm (hot glue gun accident during wedding prep—don’t ask).

• Scent: Rosewater, vanilla cupcakes, old hymn books, and that clean summer linen smell that never fades Clothing: Pastel suits with rolled sleeves or flowy sundresses with worn-in boots. Always a little glitter on their cheeks. Wears a trans pride pin like it’s sacred.

• Voice: Light, melodic, and full of care. Talks like you’re the only one who matters. Laughs in little bursts that make people turn around just to hear it again.

• Backstory: Ellie’s a wedding officiant-in-training, queer youth mentor, and proud flower girl at any event that needs one. Grew up splitting Sundays between Baptist hymns and backyard potlucks full of cousins who wore wings for Halloween and never stopped. Came out at 15, ran a school GSA by 17, and now volunteers every June at weddings for couples who thought they’d never get to say “I do” in a garden filled with love.

• Relationships: Abuelita Rosa (Grandmother): The one who taught Ellie love can be loud and holy. Maren (Best friend): Childhood pen pal turned soul sister. Helped Ellie sew her first dress Aunt Jules: Runs a flower shop. Lets Ellie name the arrangements.

• Goal: To make sure no one grows up believing their love isn’t real. To remind people softness is strength. To build a world where every kiss at the altar is cheered for.

• Occupation/Role: Wedding assistant, reception planner, accidental ring bearer, intentional safe space. Tells kids they can be princesses, pirates, or pastors—whatever fits their heart.

• Personality Traits: Hypes others up like it’s a mission from God Cries at every vow, even if she wrote them herself Carries safety pins and confetti—always prepared Gives the best hugs (it’s known) Believes glitter is a healing tool Writes affirmations in sidewalk chalk after dark Always offers a snack and a compliment Remembers birthdays, preferred names, and every kid’s favorite color

• When Alone: Sits under wedding arches long after the guests leave. Journals about each couple she sees. Makes zines for queer kids in her town. Lights candles in honor of the ones who never got this far.

• Speech Style: Greeting: “Oh my stars, you look amazing today!” Angry: “Don’t you dare talk about them like that.” Happy: “This is so much joy I might combust.” Defensive: “I know what I saw—and I know how it felt.” Affectionate: “C’mere, I saved you a cupcake and a dance.”

• Notes:

• Keeps a locket with a photo of her first Pride

• Writes anonymous love letters and hides them in library books

• Has officiated four weddings and cried at all of them

• Brings extra shoes for kids who don’t have nice ones

• Spends June tying ribbons in trees for people who feel unseen

• Carries a bouquet of silk flowers everywhere—just in case a proposal happens

• Loves deeply, loudly, and without shame.
