Wedding Party
Elijah Ruano
Officiant
Eli is the youngest of the Ruano boys and brings endless charm wherever he goes. A young aspiring actor, he loves exploring Hollywood and chasing his next big adventure. You can count on Eli to have the biggest smile in the room all night long—and yes, he will sing if asked… and sometimes even when he’s not.
Nina Crement
Maid of Honor
Nina is Casie’s younger sister and her built‑in best friend (most of the time). She’s a constant light to everyone around her, bringing laughter with her incredible sense of humor and heartfelt support to those she loves most. Casie couldn’t imagine this day without Nina by her side as her Maid of Honor.
RJ Ruano
Best Man
RJ, the eldest of the Ruano brothers, has a passion for travel, warm sunsets, and being right. He is presently taking bets on how fast Alex will cry as Casie walks down the aisle—and feels very good about his odds. As Best Man, he’s honored to stand by Alex on the biggest day of his life.
Cannon Schulte
Bridesmaid
Cannon is Casie's first cousin. Her favorite memories together include childhood adventures and sleepovers, family vacations, and all the laughter they've shared over the years.
Kaylee Hanebuth
Bridesmaid
Kaylee is Casie's cousin. Fun fact: they are only 10 days apart! Kaylee loves to read and play pickleball. Kaylee currently works in public relations and is also getting married this September!
Megan Senf
Bridesmaid
Megan met Casie in college through sorority gatherings. They both studied for their nursing licensing exams together and work at the same hospital now as RNs. Megan also has a golden retriever named Cooper that is Kylo's BFF!
Natalie Tuzik
Bridesmaid
Casie and Natalie became friends in the 4th grade! They have kept in touch over the years and enjoy going to concerts together, laughing at funny videos, and catching up.
Colin Schneider
Groomsman
Colin was Alex’s pledge brother and college roommate and has been part of the crew ever since. He’s always happy to taste‑test any desserts on your behalf and report back on the best flavors. A walking baseball encyclopedia, Colin knows way too many stats—and has formally requested that a Dodgers hat be added to the dress code.
Gavvin
Groomsman
Gavvin and Alex met in college and eventually became housemates, building a friendship that carried well beyond those early years. Gav is a proud father to Pex (aka Pexy Cat), who also lived in the house and ran it accordingly. If allowed, Gavvin will proudly be the first—and last—person on the dance floor, keeping the energy high all night long.
Jon Olson
Groomsman
Jon has been giving Alex terrible advice since 2017 and was his roommate for three years in college—proof that their friendship has truly withstood the test of time. He’s a proud dad to Mr. Cooper the golden retriever (the real favorite), and tonight he’s here for the open bar, the good vibes, and to celebrate the newlyweds in style.
Adam Beasley
Groomsman
Adam met Alex and Casie sometime during freshman year of college — although to this day, nobody can agree exactly where or when it happened. What everyone can agree on is that Adam has been a great friend ever since. Outside of soccer, cooking, and time with friends, Adam has a taste for the finer things—most notably, a classic old fashioned.
Kylo
Ring Bearer
Kylo proudly serves as the Ring Bearer after Alex was informed that the best man had to be an actual man. Adopted in 2023, Kylo is a very good boy and couldn’t be more excited to be in attendance on the big day. His only duties include carrying the rings, soaking up attention, and stealing hearts.
