Wedding Party
Dalaney Rutt
Maid of Honor
Dalaney is the Bride's one and only sister, and one half of the twins. While a six-year age gap meant growing up in different stages, the last year has brought them closer than ever (ask their parents!). She’s sassy, organized, and motivated. She once insisted on putting a towering Christmas tree in their tiny shared room, only for Aeryn to knock it over every night climbing the bunk bed. Wherever there’s adventure, sass, or a plan to be executed perfectly, Dalaney is there! Dalaney loves to travel, so be sure to ask her about her recent trips!
Jacob Chung
Best Man
Jacob is the Groom's younger brother and only sibling, and the two are best friends. One of Riley’s favorite memories with Jacob is their first day at Michigan State together, Jacob as a freshman and Riley as a senior, marking the first time they had been in the same school since elementary school. Charismatic and always up for a good conversation, Jacob and Riley share the same love of food and video games, and it's something they’ve bonded over for years. Be sure to ask Jacob about computers or gaming...he’s always happy to talk tech!
Amberly Haba
Maid of Honor
Amberly is one of the bride’s childhood best friends and truly feels more like a sister. She’s always a great listening ear and the perfect person to gossip with, no matter the situation. One of Aeryn’s favorite memories with Amberly comes from one of their infamous Jefferson drives after a late-night Taco Bell run—singing along to music while Aeryn attempted to eat and drive (not recommended), only to hit a curb at the Grosse Pointe/Detroit border and pop a tire. The night ended parked at a bank, laughing, joking, and eating Taco Bell while waiting for Aeryn’s dad to come change the tire. Be sure to ask Amberly what those Jefferson drives meant to them and what some of her favorite memories together are.
Dade Rutt
Groomsman
Dade is the bride’s younger brother and the eldest of her two brothers. Easygoing, adventurous, and always up for a good time, Dade loves fishing and hunting and feels most at home outdoors. One of Aeryn’s favorite memories with Dade comes from their annual camping trip, when she, her sister, and Dade piled into his truck, blasted music, and flew down a wild trail—full of bumps, drifting, and nonstop laughter. If you’re into the outdoors, ask Dade about fishing or hunting and you’ll be talking for a while!
Abigail Sexton
Bridesmaid
Abby is one of the Bride's best friends, she met both the bride and groom long before they were together and has been a part of their story from the very beginning. They met Abby almost nine years ago when she joined them on the annual camping trip for the first time. Since then, they've grown close to both Abby and her now-husband Eric, sharing so many memories and chapters of life together. You’ll always be able to spot Abby in a crowd — just look for the girl with the most energy, the ultimate hype-girl, and the one making sure everyone around her is having a good time! Be sure to ask Abby about those early camping trips and how she became such an important part of their lives!
Jacob Angeles
Groomsman
Jacob is one of the Groom's closest friends... and yes- there are two Jacob's! Jacob was one of Riley’s first friends in high school and is as outgoing and talkative as they come. One of Riley’s "favorite" memories with Jacob is the time they decided to longboard down a huge hill in Stoney Creek, thinking they were pros… spoiler alert: they were not. The adventure ended with both of them covered in road rash, bandaged up, and limping into school the next day. If you see him, ask him about his fashion or his golf game—he’s always happy to talk style or swings.
Karli Bissell
Bridesmaid
Karli has been a best friend of the Bride since middle school and brings a funny, bubbly energy wherever she goes. One of Aeryn’s favorite memories is meeting up with Riley and Nick at the Lockeroom in downtown Utica, where Karli proudly gave Riley a nickname badge reading “The Man”—hoping it would give him the courage to finally make a move (it didn’t, but the laughter lasted all night). That moment perfectly captures Karli’s dedication and motivation to get these two together. Be sure to ask Karli about her family’s ice cream shop and the many Dairy Maid nights that mean so much to both her and Aeryn.
Dalton Rutt
Groomsman
Dalton is the bride’s youngest brother and one half of the twins. Quiet and sarcastic, Dalton loves cars and gaming and has developed a well-earned reputation for less-than-stellar automotive luck. One of Riley and Aeryn’s funniest memories with Dalton comes from their annual camping trip up north, where he was flying past everyone on the go-carts—until a small little girl took him out, giving everyone a good laugh. Ask Dalton about his Kia or his Red Ranger if you’re in the mood for a story!
Nick Bean
Beer Boy
Nick is one of Riley’s childhood best friends, having known each other since Riley moved back to Michigan in second grade and later becoming college roommates. One of Riley’s favorite memories with Nick is sitting next to each other at their college graduation, watching each other’s hard work pay off. He also played a key role in giving Riley the push he needed to finally ask Aeryn out in 2023. (Aeryn appreciated that!) This made him an important part of this whole celebration. When he’s not spending time at his cottage in Bellaire, Nick can usually be found in the kitchen, cooking up something incredible (seriously—ask him about his cooking business).
Joe Tutag
Beer Boy
Joe has been best friends with the Groom since he moved back to Michigan in second grade. Joe may seem quiet at first, but once you get him going, he’s incredibly outgoing. One of Riley’s favorite memories with Joe involves doing donuts in Joe’s old Cobalt... using Taco Bell trays under the tires in a parking lot (not recommended, but unforgettable). If you hear someone talking about cars, it’s probably Joe—especially if the conversation turns to a ZL1 Camaro.
Grayson Altman
Ring Bearer
Grayson is the bride’s godson and Amberly’s son, and he will be one year and six months old at the time of the wedding. He loves tickles, rubber ducks, and hanging out with his mommy and auntie while they gossip. We’re so excited to have our littlest (and cutest) member of the wedding party helping us down the aisle!
