Character	Role	Ages
Howard	Grace's husband and Michelle's father. Bold, zealous, protective and a bit of a smart-ass. But underneath the tough exterior, there is an attentive, caring heart that proves his bark is worse than his bite.	Late 40's
Monica	Sam's wife and Allen's mother. In her mind, she is still in her 20s. Glamorous, impatient and fiery, she is not afraid to take up space... as long as her guard is up. But there is deep insecurity behind the confidence.	Late 40's
Sam	Monica's husband and Allen's father. Patient and mild, but not without an edge. He longs for his youth and all that came with it.	Early 50's
Grace	Howard's wife and Michelle's mother. Caring, impressionable and quick, she sees her faults all around her. Usually, she is a very tolerant woman; except when it comes to her husband.	Early 50's
Allen	Sam and Monica's son and dating Michelle. Witty, affectionate and uncertain, he never ceases to make jokes- even at the most inappropriate times. Willing to change for a good enough reason.	20's
Michelle	Howard and Grace's daughter and dating Allen. Strong, responsible and assertive, there is not a meek bone in her body. She is ready for a commitment to get the next chapter of life started, but is she more passionate about marriage, or the man she'd be marrying?	20's
