Carlee Williamson

Bridesmaid

I couldn’t be happier than to have my Zao Theatre ohana be one of my bridesmaids. Carlee is a very special replacement. Thank you Carlee. Know, too, that Carlee is currently dating Ben’s brother, Lucas.

Evan Fallon

Groomsman

Evan is back in Arizona. Yay! And, he will be participating in our wedding. Evan and Ben performed hilariously on the improv stage while at Grand Canyon University. All kidding aside ..... we've shared fun times! Unfortunatey, due to some unforeseen circumstances, Evan will not be able to join in person with the wedding celebrants and sends along his continued friendship and best wishes.

Calli Rasmussen

Bridesmaid

We're are going to miss your participation in our wedding. You will always be our theatre ohana and we look forward to our next side by side stage performance. Darn that COVID19. An honor to dance on the same stage with her!

Ian Tietz

Groomsman

With Evan Fallon's return to Arizona, Ian has stepped aside; he will participate as a reader in the ceremony. Ian is the perfect substitute for Ben's friend Evan Fallon (who is unable to fulfill his duties of groomsman on Friday, November 13). Ian is a recent high school graduate in this COVID19 year and is a proficient gamer.

Jovie Rasmussen

Flower Girl

Jovie will have brightened the center aisle for sure! Unfortunately as safety is an utmost concern as it relates to COVID19, Jovie and the Rasmussen family have decided to withdraw their participation. We're sad, but we truly understand.

Elijah Michael Abang

Ring Bearer

Emily-Rae's nephew Elijah just turned two years old 10/5/2020 and would have rocked the center aisle on Friday, 12/13/2020. Unfortunately, remembering safety first, Elijah and his family have decided not to travel from Oregon to Arizona due to COVID19. You will be missed.

Michael "Mickey" Bryce

"Mickey" has been our director in a few plays at Zao Theatre, in Apache Junction, AZ. He is a pastor at Centerstage Church and we are very happy he will be the one to marry us. He has time and many wise words for the both of us.
