Lianna Bagtas

Maid of Honor

Aster's younger sister, best friend since birth, creative confidant, and "twin." Think Annie and Hallie from The Parent Trap, or Special Agent Sarah Ashburn and Officer Mulllins from The Heat. They are inseparable and always will be.

Thomas Messa

Best Man

Tim's older brother, role model, and first best friend. TJ has been there for Tim since the beginning and Tim can't imagine anyone else being his Best Man. He also fulfilled Tim's dream of being a 'fun uncle' last year—blessing him with the sweetest niece, Charlotte!

Din Nim

Aster's best friend, gardening connoisseur, foodie and baking partner, and go-to girl for spontaneous traveling. They've known each other for over a decade, from high school through college, writing snail mail back and forth between JMU and VCU!

Anthony Stalcup

Groomsman

Tim and Anthony grew up together and even shared the same class in 8th grade. From sharing childhood memories to now, Tim can't imagine anyone else he'd want to stand with him on his big day.

Jameela Messinger

Bridesmaid

Aster's best friend since middle school and the older sister she's always wanted. They basically grew up together and Aster can't imagine her life without her.
