Publicist

Betty is known to her friends as "Betty Confetti" because she has her own confetti cannon. "It definitely makes a party," she says. Her fiance Brian and brother Will are in the audience. She's been with Brian for 10 years. Meredith asks why it took so long. "We were having too much fun," Brian quips, to which Meredith replies, "Yeah once you get married all that ends." They are getting married 11 years to the day after they met. Betty has $52,600 in her bank and one JTQ remaining.
