Wedding Party
Colin Dyer
Best Man
Colin is the dangerously handsome, wannabe influencer of the bridal party. Marine Corps infantry veteran, part-time photographer, dysfunctional shoulders, and full-time bartender, Colin is here to bring charisma (and probably a photo coffee table book no one asked for). Ladies: he’s single. Gentlemen: his cat, Ripley, runs the show.
Ariana Sallay
Matron of Honor
Known affectionately as “Chicken Legs,” Ariana switches between chef whites and firefighter gear and is a jack of all trades. She’s Lauren’s lifelong best friend, world traveler, proud new mom to baby Hallie. Basically, she’s been collecting titles like Pokémon cards—but “Matron of Honor” might be the hardest job yet.
Chase Goodlett
Best Man
Coming in at 6'4, Big Chungus can also be strong. He’s a former Marine radio operator, railroad worker, firefighter hopeful, and now a California cop—which is basically a résumé for a sitcom character. Known for his goofy personality, karaoke rapping at Bowles Burritos, and surviving a legendary Australia skin infection, Chase is married to Karissa (sorry, ladies).
Gabi Poirier
Bridesmaid
The sweet roommate that Lauren didn’t deserve but was blessed with anyway. Gabi bakes like it’s a spiritual calling, loves Jesus, and is known for late-night chats that rival therapy. Gabi is a loyal friend that will pray for you and feed you cookies at the same time. She’s back in SoCal, but Lauren is still holding onto hope that Gabi moves back to Arizona.
Alex Taylor
Groomsman
Benji’s older brother, former roommate, and lifelong sparring partner. Alex traded sibling wrestling matches for real weights at the gym, where he spends most of his free time. A fantasy, DnD, and film buff, Alex also works in marketing (which is basically convincing people they wanted that thing they didn’t need). Married to Mayra, who wisely joined Team Bride, Alex rounds out the family power couple.
Mayra Taylor
Bridesmaid
Mayra is married to the groom’s brother Alex, but let’s be honest—her real true love is Top Gun. Serving in the Air Force with dreams of being a fighter pilot, she named her dogs Viper and Phoenix (because Goose was taken). When she’s not hiking mountains or globe-trotting, she’s probably quoting Maverick.
Jared Woods
Groomsman
Jared is the only groomsman who can look Benji in the eye without a step stool. A former college wrestler, coach, and physical therapy tech, Jared somehow balances “tough country boy” with “secret softy.” Known for being the life of the party, Jared comes with two dogs, Tank and Ranger, and a heavy dose of Oklahoma grit now washed in Arizona dust.
Daniella Rodriguez
Bridesmaid
Proof that swiping right can lead to real friendship, Lauren met Daniella on Bumble BFF (fun fact: the bride also met the groom on Bumble, so… thank you, algorithms). Originally from Orange County, Daniella is the kindest foodie you’ll ever meet and proud mom to her daughter Sara. She’s the type of friend who makes Arizona feel like home.
Jackson Paquette
Groomsman
The group’s resident MBA and SRP coworker, Jackson is the calm, cool, guitar-playing voice of reason—until the tequila comes out in Mexico. Recently married to Shae, a childhood friend of Benji’s, Jackson is proof that nice guys don’t finish last (they just bum off their parents' beach houses). He’s a cat dad to Snickers, and yes, he somehow manages to be both professional and laid-back at the same time.
