Jen Ryder
Matron of Honor
Jen is one of Bri's oldest friends, dating back to the 2nd-grade afterschool program. Jen introduced me to pants back in second grade. How revolutionary! Jen is also responsible for getting me interested in theater.
Austin Dionne
Best Man
Austin and John have been friends since slightly after Austin got stuck with John's old phone number and a cubicle across the hall from him at work. He's also partially responsible for John and Bri meeting since they both convinced each other to try out for Cannibal after a few beers. Preferred Character Class: Wizard
Saba Mostafavi
Maid of Honor
Saba came into my life when we worked in a call center and invited me to karaoke night. The rest is history. She gave me a home before I met John and is a second mother to my rabbits.
Nathan Soule
Groomsman
Nate is an epic mixer of drinks, enthusiastic inventor and creator of some truly epic halloween costumes. John told him he was getting married via voice chat on PSN and his first words were "When're we doing the bachelor party?" Preferred Character Class: Ranger
Kimberly Arico
Bridesmaid
Kim is one of Bri's cousins and, despite living far away and traveling all the time, has made multiple trips to New England over the years to keep in touch. Kim and Bri had a very memorable trip to Europe back in 2019 - can't wait for our next adventure!
Jason Sylvester
Groomsman
Jason and John have been bonding over beers, boardgames and videogames since they met at an epic Halloween party over a decade ago. When John needs a dose of humility there's no more surefire way to get it than to try and take Jason in a brawler. Preferred Character Class: Barbarian
Becca Scheetz
Bridesmaid
Becca is one of Bri's longest friends who got me interested in both Girl Scouts and Venturing, BSA. Becca is why I started working at scout camps and is always ready with a fun fact!
Albert Nguyen
Groomsman
Albert introduced John to the delights of grand strategy games which they talked about while they probably should have been working. It's been a decade and they still discuss the best strategies for galactic domination or how to cement the best alliance by marrying off their surplus children. Preferred Character Class: Paladin
Sara Landry
Bridesmaid
I have known Sara as long as I have known John. There is no sweeter and goofier person on this earth. Sara is always ready to host a themed party with themed beverages. Also, our dogs are "dating" 😂.
Jeremy Nguyen
Groomsman
Jeremy is John's greatest foil in competitive board games, capable of some truly impressive takedowns which might explain why they've been mostly playing co-op games in the last year. Preferred Character Class: Rogue
J.P. Arico
Officiant
J.P. is Bri's brother and accomplished emcee. J.P. was Bri & John's first choice for their officiant as there is no one more equipped to mix humor and emotion into their ceremony.
Betsy Thornton
Mother of the Groom
Bri and John would like to thank Betsy for her love and support throughout the years and also for making sure John and Bri are dressed warmly when they go on adventures.
Anna D. Arico
Mother of the Bride
Bri & John would like to thank Anna for her help in the wedding preparation. We are happy that you helped make our day as special as it is by assisting with multiple projects to bring together our vision.
Paul Thornton
Father of the Groom
John and Bri would like to thank Paul for his love and support throughout the years and also for keeping an eye on their fur-baby when they're going on adventures.
John Arico
Father of the Bride
Bri & John would like to thank John for all his help making their day special and amazing. Thank you for all of your guidance and careful consideration throughout the process.
Leo Darts
Ring Bearer
John's Nephew, there's no one else he would trust to carry "my precious..."
Linnea Darts
Flower Girl
John's Niece. A Linnea is a type of wildflower common in Sweden. We're not saying she was born for this role but we wouldn't rule it out either.
