Puppet shows

Emily made a puppet theater out a cardboard box and has made a couple sets of paper puppets to play with.  Can you recognize the popular characters of the first set?

Then Emily had a wedding party with three brides and three grooms.  She named them after kids in her class.  I'm trying to remember who was (completely innocently) paired up with who.  I think the big ones are Rachel & Ty T. and the little ones are Madison & Tai C. and Emily & Wesley H.  :o)
