Bryan's best man and two ushers stand proudly by his side, dressed in formal attire. The bride's father, also a distinguished gentleman, is present, as is the maid of honor and two bridesmaids. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of a quirky priest, who officiates the ceremony. The extraordinary twist in this wedding is that Miss Democracy herself is the bride. This symbolic representation of the American democratic process underscores Bryan's deep commitment to the cause.
