Adele & Dan
Wedding Party
Nikki Helmer
Maid of Honor
Did you know they hated each other? Neighbors 3 houses down opposite side of street. Teenagers- my brother and I and her and her brother, HATRED! But 32 years later still best friends. Nikki has always been upfront with Adele, from anything you name it. From our inside jokes-"my face is bothering me, it's bothering me too!" It will never get old. Nikki and Adele were always together, driving around town, sleepovers, JB's and anything you can think of. Nikki and Adele are best friends for life.
Mike Cupach
Best Man
Proof that enemies can become great friends. Mike and Dan did not get along at first. Constantly arguing and at the odds after he joined the tag team. Dan doesn't remember the turning point, but it's been good times ever since. So many tag trips where the drives were more fun than the tournament. From the guy that no sold his joke at the toll booth to the hours of pirate jokes about a mutual friend. To also not pulling over when Dan really needed to go to the bathroom while Andy punched him in the gut. Now that they're old, Mike and Dan get together regularly for food and reminisce about the good times.
Roger Osborn
Bridesman
Well Adele has known Roger all her life, he was born 11 months after Adele, so they have been best friends ever since being Brother and Sister. Adele knew right away that asking Roger to be her "Bridesman" was perfect. Roger has been her rock for the past few years before Adele met Dan. Roger is an will always be her "person" she can go and talk to about anything.
Andy Stewart
Groomsman
Andy has been one of Dan's closest friends for over 20 years. Dan has spent more time in a car with Andy than any one person should. Most of that time Andy was sleeping and not paying for gas. Many great memories in their travels. From the Loonie at the Chicago toll booth. His "danger zone", burning Dan with a lighter while Dan slept. The subsequent fork heated up on the stove in case Dan came after him. "I need to speak with Akron's team captain now!" And how can Dan forget "Sugar Cubes!!!!!" Andy has been there through it all. Good times and bad. A true partner in crime...allegedly of course.
Lacey Voth
Bridesmaid
Lacey and Adele met at their campground swimming pool. Becoming "old ladies" playing bingo every Friday night at the campground, watching bands, and Lacey teasing Adele about taking pictures and selfies. Lacey has been there for almost as long as Adele has known Dan. So many weekends during the summer Lacey and Adele get together. Lacey will tell Adele how it is, no sugar coating it.
Aaron Stuckey
Groomsman
Aaron was last to come into Dan's life. Aaron moved from Texas to Ohio to marry the love of his life, Rori. The only NAC champ among our group. (Though, Ironman finals don't count, lol). Aaron fit in almost seamlessly into the group. Stories about the "flavor saver" and yelling "Bisquick". Many poker games where Dan always raises his blind. Aaron is a good friend because he's a 2 in 1. Get enough drinks into Aaron, 69oz to be exact and he turns into Armando. Aaron's drunken alter ego. Usually shows up toward the middle of the game 2 on poker nights. WE all love and hate Armando.
Brea Osborn
Junior Bridesmaid
Brea is Adele's niece- the best niece an aunt could have! Aunt Del's nickname for Brea since she was born was " Little Brea Dude". Its silly, but it was so cute. Adele moved to Cleveland to be her nanny and it was the best move ever. Brea and Adele snapchat all the time. The memories of Brea that Adele has of her growing up from infant to now 15 years old. Aunt Del cherishes them.
Libby Osborn
Something Blue Crew
Adele has known Libby since High School. One, they lived in a small town and two she and her Brother Roger are high school sweethearts. Adele would do Libby's hair and makeup for school dances. Libby is Adele's favorite Sister in Law, for many reasons. She gave her the best niece in Brea, and two amazing, crazy nephews, Wesley and Benen. She has been there many times when Adele has needed her throughout the years that they have known each other.
Mary Dailey
Something Blue Crew
27 years of friendship starting when Adele started her first "grownup" job as a hairdresser. Adele and Mary worked in the same salon, and became fast friends. Mary would call Adele "LeAnn Rimes" because Adele was only 18 and everyone else was in there mid 20's. Adele was the baby of the group, or "Delbie" was another nickname. The shopping trips and car rides were some of Adele's favorite memories. Mary never made Adele feel left out, and is one of Adele's closest and friends.
Angela Tinder
Something Blue Crew
It's amazing how two people can start off with such different impressions of each other, but through time and shared experience's, they end up forming such a strong and lasting friendship. Adele and Angela met when their boys were in daycare together. They also worked together and got together a lot for crafts and baking. Adele always tries to get together when she goes back home. Angela was Adele's first "real" mom friend!
Janet "Grandma" Hennard
Flower Girl
Adele has the best Grandma in the land! Adele's Grandma was and is always a call away. Adele was so excited to ask Grandma to be her Flower Girl. No one else would do. Adele has always had a close bond with her Grandparents. Adele's Grandma would always help Adele out with any questions she would have about baking or cooking. Grandma always had the best food and goodies. Grandma tells it how it is as well. She's the best Grandma.
Wesley Osborn
Usher
Wes is the funniest nephew! Adele met Wes 9 months after Adele's son Nicolas was born. She was his nanny as well. Wesley has always been the shy, but funny boy! There will never be a dull moment when he's around. Adele has spit water or soda or even someone else's coffee when he says something funny. Adele will always enjoy when Wesley is around.
Benen Osborn
Usher
Benen is Adele's youngest nephew. He gives you a run. She loves when it's time for us to clean up or do something Benen goes "missing". We will always call this "the Benen"! Its all in good fun. He always comes back at the tail end of the job. Adele loves watching him play video games because he won't stop moving and is the loudest in the group. She is so happy that Benen is Benen. Adele wouldn't have it any other way.
Dylan Polley
Son of Bride/Bridal Escort
Dylan is the oldest son of Adele. He is 25, Adele can't believe she has a 25 year old. Dylan has been the hardest worker she knows. He has always been the "Leader", the worker, the big brother! This he got from his mom. He's loves gaming and always being the best big brother ever. He loves to love!
Jared Polley
Son of Bride/Bridal Escort
Jared is Adele's second child, 23 years of making sure he stays alive is a job of itself. He's kind of clumsy, but he some how is still alive. Jared's a momma's boy, always has been. Adele is always amused from Jared because he is the jokester of the family. It's always a laugh when he's around.
Nicolas Polley
Son of Bride/Bridal Escort
Nicolas (Nic) is Adele's youngest child, 14 years of fun with Nic. Nic is the baby, so Adele admits to spoiling him. Nic's love of gaming and hanging out with his two older brothers brings such joy to Adele. She sometimes has to yell up the stairs to just make sure he's ok. Nic and Adele would swim all day if they could they love the water. Adele will never get tired of his laugh its the best laugh.
Martha Payne
Mother of the Bride/Keeper of the Rings
Adele has known her, Martha, ever since Adele was born. Adele is Martha's first child and only daughter. Meaning Martha had her work cut out for her. Though she didn't know it yet. Adele was the daughter that they warned you about. Martha LOVES Adele more than anything. Martha couldn't wait to become a Mom, but she loves being a grandma more. Ask Adele and her brother's. They will agree.
Bruce Osborn Jr.
Father of the Bride
Adele is Bruce's only daughter and 1st child of 3. Adele has many memories of when she was a little girl, when they lived on base in Camp Lejeune. From going to the park and working out with her Dad. Visiting him at the office, or when he would take her to her Girl Scout camp listening to The Beach Boys on the way. Core Memory for Adele! Adele is glad that now they text often and are making more memories.
David Payne
Stepdad of the Bride
David (Dave) is Adele's Step Dad! It was along time before she accepted this. Adele grew up and is thankful for all Dave has done for her. As a teen, Adele had a hard time having him in the family. Poor Dave endured a lot. Adele has apologized to Dave so much for the "crap" she did. She loves Dave for being part of her life and her kid's lives as well.

Monique and Adele met when Adele put her son Nic into a new Cub Scout Pack. They got along quickly. Adele loves Monique's humor and laugh. Her laugh is the best ever!
