Wedding Party
Tricia Wise
Matron of Honor
You might think the universe didn't give Becca a sister. But you're wrong. Becca met her best friend, nay, her sister Tricia, in middle school. From Westside to Iowa Western and on into the real world, they have always shared a deep and weird and weirdly deep connection. Tricia's husband Al learned early he had to embrace Tricia's 'ride or die', the Thelma to her Louise. Ryan has learned over the last few years, too. Whether they are hiking, doing a puzzle, doing crafts, laughing, or crying together (most likely), these two will always be each other's first call from jail. Correction: they'll be in the cell together. Figuring out what to tell their husbands. Tricia lives in Omaha with her husband Al and their beautiful 1 year-old human baby Stephen and their two fur babies Angus and Zoey.
Paulo Banzali
Best Man
This friendship comes straight from the bromance pages of geek folklore. Paulo and Ryan have been friends since 2012, having met online playing Xbox. If Becca hears Ryan making weird sounds from another room or laughing uncontrollably, she knows Paulo and Ryan are playing games online. For almost 10 years now, countless shenanigans have taken place including late gaming sessions, random video calls, a few drunk nights, and one crazy trip to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. In fact, Paulo's favorite drink is now Aviation Gin because of Mardi Gras. Ask him about it sometime. Paulo and his girlfriend Susie live with her son Talon in Greenville, South Carolina.
Ashley Sauls
Bridesmaid
Ashley and Becca have been close ever since they were roommates at Iowa Western in 20XX. Truth be told, they were hesitant of each other at first because Becca was dating Ashley's ex. That ex is now Ashley's boyfriend...again. (That won't be weird at the wedding, will it?) Regardless, Ashley and Becca have seen each other through some crazy life curveballs. Most of the time, you can find them together by Ashley's dad's pool, enjoying a family cookout or an infamous crawfish boil. Ashley and her boyfriend, Ron, live in Omaha with their two children: Emelia and Braxton. They also have their fur babies, Ash, Pepper and Louie.
Scott Deprez
Groomsman
Scott is Ryan’s little and only brother - and has been for over 20 years (and still counting). Growing up, they bonded while playing video games. Most significantly, though, was their time spent together mastering Rock Band on Playstation: Scott plays a mean guitar and Ryan shows flashes of Mike Portnoy on the drums. They both knew it was 'brothers forever' after a family trip to Colorado when they were kids: Scott and Ryan shared a bed and, much to his disgust, Ryan woke up to the warm sensation of baby-brother Scott puking on his back. Brotherly love, at its finest. These days, it's mostly impromptu Rock Band concerts during family holidays when Scott is on break from college - and no more sharing beds. Scott is studying Mechanical Engineering at South Dakota State University.
Dana Anderson
Bridesmaid
Dana and Becca met about 8 years ago because through their ex-boyfriends. But this story isn't like Becca and Ashley's: Dana and Becca dumped the guys and kept each other. Since then, it's been almost a decade of wild, fun, memorable times. From camping and boating, to their annual trips to Okoboji - there is never a dull moment when they get together. Well, maybe it's not too crazy: they do seem to take turns falling asleep at parties. Dana and her fiancé Steven (getting hitched in September!) live in Omaha. They are parents to baby girl Brynlee and fur babies Roscoe and Stella.
Olivia Michl
Groomswoman
Olivia is currently Ryan’s manager. To some, this may seem odd. Maybe even weird. But really, it’s fine. Ryan has known Olivia since 2018 while working at Orion on the Reporting team; they were both on the front lines then, working phones and chats. Their roles at Orion have changed but their friendship only continued to grow. From embarrassing Zoom meetings and yell talking in professional settings, to engaging in tactical Call of Duty pew-pew talk after work - everything has contributed to where their friendship is now. Olivia and her boyfriend Kyle live in Omaha with their dog Louie.
Taija Walkowiak
Bridesmaid
Taija and Becca met in elementary school and have been friends since! The two have seen each other through all of the major milestones in life. Changing schools, earning their driver licenses, breakups, the list goes on. When they were younger and getting into trouble, one was never far behind the other! Their friendship has seen a lot of joys and has survived many hardships. Taija and her fiancé, Mark, live in Lincoln, Nebraska and are the parents to Mack, Gianna, and their fur baby Waylon.
Mike Arnold
Groomsman
Stop if you've heard this before: Ryan and Mike met online playing Xbox and have been friends since 2012. Typically, you’ll know Mike and Ryan are in a party chat together because you can hear Ryan cry laughing in the background. Their friendship escalated on the trip to New Orleans/Mardi Gras when Mike showed the world the power of the People’s elbow...to an unsuspecting wall. Countless broken Xbox controllers later, their friendship is still going strong. Mike works for Verizon and lives in Greenville, South Carolina.
Molly Seals
Bridesmaid
Molly and Becca have been friends since they were three! After learning their colors and numbers together, they went on to learn how to survive being teenagers and, to this day, are still learning how to survive as adults. They don't get to spend as much time together as they would like but when they get together, they pick up right where they left off. The two have always remained incredibly close over the last 28 years. They know they can call each other no matter what and the other will answer. Molly and her husband, Otis, Live in Omaha and are parents of triplets: Sutton, Stevie, and Otis. They also have two fur babies, Ruger and Daphne.
Austin Wulff
Groomsman
Austin's life changed for the better when he joined Orion full time in December of 2017 and trained with Ryan. In fact, Austin owes his growth at Orion entirely to Ryan. Ryan's tutelage even lead Austin to his current role as manager of the Performance Team. Every day, Austin is eternally grateful to Ryan (and a couple of other people, but mainly Ryan). Becoming fast friends, they experienced some crazy nights (and mornings) in Miami, late-night gaming sessions in Warzone, and some rowdy concert crowds. At any given moment described above, it would be appropriate to picture Austin with a Coors Light in his hand(s). Austin and his wife Cassie, who keeps his life organized, live in Omaha with their two dogs Toby and Harper.
John Wolff
Usher
John is the oldest of Becca’s brothers. With a 15 year age gap, John and Becca didn’t get the chance to be particularly close when she was young. Having a baby sister had its perks though: John always took his adorable toddler sister to the high school football games to score points with the ladies. Age gap aside, John has always been, and will always be, protective of his little sister. Becca is grateful that he has always checked in to offer advice and big-brother support - no matter what.

Recently they have taken in young man, Tyler, whom the entire Wolff family loves as one of their own.
Joe Wolff

Throughout the years, Joe introduced Becca to bands and music artists that she still listens to and loves today. Becca's favorite memories of Joe are when the two of them spent quite a bit of time together at the lake riding jet skis and also when Joe would take Becca for motorcycle rides. Joe and his wife Ahleeya live in Omaha and are the parents of Gavin, Corbin, and Araylnn, and their fur babies Cora and Sabra.
Pat Wolff
Usher
Pat is the youngest of Becca's older brothers. Becca always looked up to Pat (okay, fine, that's partially because he's much taller than her) but also because she thought he was pretty cool. She always wanted to hang out with him and his friends when they were younger. Becca still enjoys a good hang sesh with Pat when they are able to make it happen. Pat and his wife, Megan, live in Omaha are the parents of Daniel and Zach, along with their fur babies Chief and Bella.

Becca will always be their baby! In fact, Mark always has and always will call her 'Baby'. As precious as Becca is, she always found a way to challenge her parents. Just ask them. The teenage years were rough, but as Becca has grown up, she started to understand and accept that Deb and Mark always wanted the best for her. They raised a very strong and assertive woman of which they are very proud!
Suzanne and Randy Deprez
Parents of the Groom
Randy and Suzanne have been parents to Ryan since July 17, 1991, and Scott sometime after that. Both hailing from small-town Nebraska, they met while attending college at Nebraska Wesleyan University. Over the years, they moved all a few times, including to Texas and Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where Ryan was born. Shortly thereafter, the new family moved to Omaha, Nebraska, where they have lived ever since. Since moving to Omaha, they have helped guide Ryan through some rough high school years. Ryan was, let’s say, less than enthusiastic about school. That is until his domination of college at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, followed by him moving to Oklahoma City to teach. Ryan is forever grateful for how they have always supported him and provided guidance along the way.
