Wedding Party
Rodney Galvan
Father of the Groom
Rodney has played a key role in making this day possible. Along with his wife, Keri, he poured time, effort, and generosity into helping plan and support the wedding, making sure every detail came together beautifully. He will also be officiating the ceremony — a role that adds even more meaning to the day. As the groom’s father, Rodney has always been his son’s rock, raising him with patience, love, and strength. Having him guide the ceremony and stand at the heart of this moment is a tribute to the bond they share.
Laura Risner
Mother of the Bride
Laura is the mother of the bride and will be escorting both flower girls down the aisle — a moment that beautifully reflects her place at the heart of this family. She raised Alexis completely on her own and did a truly wonderful job, shaping her into the strong, loving woman she is today. Laura has also poured her time, support, and generosity into helping plan this wedding, just as she has supported Alexis and Rodney through the busy, beautiful chaos of raising seven kids. Her love, guidance, and steady presence have been a foundation for this family and having her play such an important role in the ceremony means everything.
Nicholas Horton
Best Man
Nick is 6'2", 195 pounds, and built like someone who has an official 25–5 MMA record… because he does. Born and raised in Adrian, Michigan, he’s been Rodney’s ride‑or‑die for years. His unofficial job title for the wedding? Making sure the groom stays calm, the vibes stay high, and absolutely no one questions Rodney’s love for Alexis. (Trust us — no one will.)
Heather Buehrer
Maid of Honor
Heather — Maid of Honor Heather and Alexis have been inseparable since 6th grade — the kind of best friends who have lived through every awkward phase, every big milestone, and every late‑night heart‑to‑heart together. She’s seen Alexis at her best and her absolute worst, and somehow loves her even more for it. There’s no one Alexis would rather have cheering her on as she walks down the aisle.
Codie Nolan
Groomsman
As Rodney’s brother, Codie has always been a source of strength and calm. At 5'10", with the nickname “Flash Nolan,” he’s known for being dependable, thoughtful, and deeply loyal. With his first son on the way, Codie enters this wedding day with a full heart and a growing family of his own. Rodney couldn’t imagine saying “I do” without his brother right there beside him.
Isabella Snyder
Bridesmaid
Isabella is Heather’s oldest daughter and Alexis’s “first bonus kid.” Alexis has been there since Heather’s pregnancy, her birth, and every unforgettable stage in between. Over the years, Isabella has grown into a thoughtful, dependable young woman who often helps watch the youngest two — and even stepped in so Alexis could take her first vacation to the Dominican Republic with Rodney. To Alexis, Isabella isn’t just family by extension; she’s one of her own.
Collyn Nolan
Groomsman
Collyn is Rodney’s brother and Vanessa’s soon‑to‑be husband. When these two aren’t together in person, they’re online — playing video games nonstop, debating computer builds, and staying locked in an ongoing (and very serious) battle over who’s actually better at Rocket League. (Rodney is) Their bond is built on competition, laughter, and countless late‑night matches, and having Collyn stand beside Rodney is a natural part of their story.
Vanessa Damon
Bridesmaid
Vanessa is in a loving relationship with Collyn, and everyone is excited for the day they officially join the family. She’s funny, kind, and full of light — the type of person who makes people feel welcome just by being herself. Whether she’s gaming with the group or sharing a laugh, Vanessa adds something special to every moment.
Jeffrey Cumbow
Groomsman
Jeff and Rodney first met back at Prairie School, same place and time Rodney first met Alexis. They spent countless hours playing soccer together in the big school yard. Today, Jeff is still a steady presence in Rodney’s life — teaming up with him and Collyn for Rocket League matches and plenty of friendly competition. Recently engaged to a beautiful woman, Jeff is stepping into an exciting new chapter of his own, and Rodney is honored to have him standing beside him on this day.
Aleaha Estel
Bridesmaid
As Heather’s daughter, Aleaha has always been part of Alexis’s extended family. Alexis didn’t get to be there for every stage of her childhood, but she has made every effort to show Aleaha that she belongs — not just in the wedding, but in her life. To Alexis, Aleaha is one of her “bonus kids,” loved just as deeply and welcomed just as fully.
Channing Galvan
Ring Bearer
Channing is Rodney’s son and one of the wedding’s adorable ring bearers. From the moment he met Hunter, Alexis’s son, the two became inseparable — bonding instantly and acting like brothers from day one. Channing brings endless laughter, silliness, and pure joy to the family, brightening every room he walks into. And when he’s not cracking everyone up, he’s jumping into Rocket League matches with Rodney, Collyn, Jeff, and anyone else who’s online. He’s a huge part of this blended family and having him in the wedding makes the day even more special.
Hunter Miles
Ring Bearer
Hunter is Alexis’s son and the calm, steady presence among the kids — though he’s always ready to be silly when the moment calls for it. He and Channing clicked right away and have been like brothers ever since. With Rodney and Channing guiding him, he’s discovering a love for gaming and becoming part of the crew. Hunter accepted Rodney with an open heart, making their blended family feel complete.
Khali Galvan
Flower Girl
Khali is the shared daughter of the bride and groom, the youngest of seven, and the grand finale of the family at just two years old. She may be little, but she carries a big personality — and acts so much like her dad, Rodney, it’s almost unbelievable. Khali brings joy, chaos, giggles, and pure sunshine wherever she goes. As the last baby of the bunch, she’s the perfect reminder of how beautifully this family has blended and grown.
RayLynnn Miles
Flower Girl
RayLynn is five years old, full of spunk, brightness, goofiness, and pure joy. She lights up every room she walks into and keeps everyone laughing with her silly, fearless personality. Rodney says that just one minute with “Ray‑Ray” was all it took for him to know he was done for — that he was going to love Alexis and these kids for the rest of his life. She’s a tiny firecracker with a huge heart and having her in the wedding is a reminder of the moment everything truly fell into place.
Wendy Morgan
Mother of the Groom
Wendy will be walking Rodney down the aisle, a moment that reflects the deep bond they share. She helped raise him into the patient, loving, steady man he is today, shaping his heart and his character every step of the way. Rodney’s strength, kindness, and loyalty all trace back to her guidance. Having Wendy by his side on this day is not just tradition — it’s a tribute to the woman who helped make him the man Alexis is marrying.
Khloee Mangun
Bridesmaid
Khloee is Alexis’s first child and first daughter — the one who made her a mom. Alexis was just 18 when she had her, and in so many ways, they grew up together. They’ve always been “twinsies,” sharing a bond that’s deep, unshakable, and full of love. Khloee will be escorting her mom down the aisle alongside her sister, Khyleigh, making the moment even more meaningful. She’s not just part of the wedding; she’s part of the story that shaped Alexis into the woman Rodney is marrying.
Jaicee Galvan
Bridesmaid
Jaicee is Rodney’s first child and first daughter — the original spark of his world. She’s artsy, goofy, stylish, and full of personality, carrying so many of Rodney’s silly traits in the best possible way. A true firecracker, much like little RayLynn, she brings color and laughter everywhere she goes. Jaicee will be escorting her dad down the aisle alongside his mother, making the moment even more meaningful as the two women who shaped him walk with him into this new chapter.
Khyleigh Miles
Bridesmaid
Khyleigh is Alexis’s second biological daughter, a “saucy” little firecracker who brings brightness, attitude, and joy into every room she enters. She’s bold, funny, and full of life — the kind of kid who keeps everyone smiling. Khyleigh will be escorting her mom down the aisle alongside her sister, Khloee, making the moment even more meaningful as the girls who shaped Alexis walk with her into this new chapter.
