. marie decru .

marie decru and rachel were introduced by their mutual friend sophie at bar blue.  they realized that they would be attending the same international school.  after school started the two were attached at the hip.  

marie is the only person in the wedding party that does not have a middle name ... which is cool and not confusing.  marie is very international as well.  having lived in asia and europe ... she can speak dutch ... english ... and some chinese ... which she and rachel kind of learned together at yew cheung.  her most recent attempt at a language will be french ... which will be useful at the wedding ... seeing as half of the attendees lived in france at one point.

marie is belgian.  she is studying painting at the royal academy of fine arts of antwerp.  she is a very good artiste and is planning on becoming the next jenny saville.  she is interested in pursuing contemporary style paintings.

she is an especially good dancer {particularly on the tables at nanjie}.  marie also has an alter ego named 'maxima' that happens to be ghetto fabulous.  when posing as maxima ... she tends to shout 'fo shizzle ... my nizzle!' on a regular basis.

she likes good music and has a wonderful sense of style.  her favorite fashion designer of all time is yves saint laurent. which is what makes rachel and marie not only attached at the hips ... but at the head as well.

we are excited that marie will be attending the wedding ... and are looking forward to a rehearsal dinner speech that will include ... 'fo shizzle ... my nizzle!!!'
