Caroline C. & David C.
Wedding Party
Liam Page
Ring Bearer
Liam is David’s nephew and the son of Samantha and Dominic Page. At 4 years old (soon to be 5 by the wedding), he’s the proud big brother to flower girl Ava. Protective, caring, and full of energy, Liam is always ready for an adventure. He’s a very funny kid and can always make everyone laugh. Liam loves Toy Story, Transformers, fast cars, and all kinds of sports. With his big personality and loving heart, he’ll make the perfect Ring Security (ring bearer) on Caroline and David’s big day.
Ava Page
Flower Girl
Ava is David’s niece, the daughter of Samantha and Dominic Page, and the sweet baby sister of our Ring Bearer, Liam. By the time of the wedding, she will be two years old. She is the most cuddly and smiley little girl, always full of joy, and her bright grin can light up any room. Ava loves watching Ms. Rachel, learning new words, and she can already swim like a little mermaid. Her favorite movie is Moana. When the music starts, Ava never misses a chance to dance. We are so honored to have her sprinkle flowers ahead of us as we walk down the aisle.
Valerie Gwin
Maid of Honor
Caroline met Valerie in 2014 on their very first day working at Disney, which was also the day she met David. From that moment on, the two have shared countless adventures, from epic travel stories to legendary 18-hour road trips all within one state. Though Valerie now lives in New Jersey, distance has never lessened their bond. She has truly become another Bentley sister, known for her kind heart, infectious energy, and quick wit. Valerie has never met a stranger. She can make friends anywhere and has an unmatched ability to fill every room with laughter and warmth. Caroline often says she could not have made it through her twenties without Valerie. She treasures her advice and guidance as much as her friendship. Caroline feels the same way about her wedding. There is no way she would want to step into this next chapter without her by her side. Valerie has been a constant through all of Caroline’s biggest life moments, always cheering her on, making her laugh until her sides hurt, and lifting her up in every season.
Rachael Bentley
Bridesmaid
The youngest Bentley and Caroline’s favorite little sister, Rachael has always been the family’s comedic relief and the life of every party. She is stylish, quick-witted, and effortlessly fun, able to turn even an ordinary moment into something unforgettable. With her sense of humor and big personality, she keeps everyone laughing and makes sure there is never a dull moment. Beyond the laughter, Rachael has the biggest heart. She is not just a sister but the best friend Caroline always needed, the one who knows how to lift her up, keep her grounded, and celebrate her in every season of life. Caroline is endlessly proud to have Rachael standing by her side, and she cannot imagine this day without her. With her sparkle, spirit, and love, Rachael makes the whole celebration brighter.
Megan Bentley
Bridesmaid
The first-born Bentley and Caroline’s older sister, Megan was her very first best friend. Growing up as military kids, they leaned on each other through every move, every new place, and every school. Caroline was honored to be a bridesmaid at Megan’s wedding in St. Augustine, and now it means so much to have Megan beside her for her own special day. Megan is an art teacher in Winter Garden who is endlessly creative and pours her heart into her students. A true Disney lover and art enthusiast, she brings a sense of magic to everything she does, whether it is in the classroom, on a canvas, or walking down Main Street U.S.A. She has a deep knowledge of both art and literature, and her love of learning shines through in her teaching and in the way she connects with others. Caroline has always admired her ability to see beauty in the little things and to share that joy with the people around her.
Alexandra McVicker
Bridesmaid
Caroline and Alexandra met in fourth grade while living in Brussels, Belgium, and have been the best of friends ever since. To Caroline, Alexandra is not just a friend but truly a sister for life. Alexandra is deeply driven and always pursues her goals with passion and dedication. She is a true fitness inspiration, not only strong physically but also balanced in the way she approaches life, always proving she can achieve anything she sets her mind to. She also has a big heart, and her kindness is felt by everyone lucky enough to know her. Beyond that, Alexandra is a wonderful mother to her sweet son, a role Caroline has loved learning from and admiring. Although she now lives in Arizona, their bond has never faded. Fun fact: in fifth grade they performed a Cheetah Girls song in full cheetah-print outfits for their elementary school (once a Cheetah Girl, always a Cheetah Girl). Alexandra is now engaged to the love of her life Ethan and preparing for her own big day, and Caroline is honored to be a bridesmaid in her wedding as well.
Delorean Gray
Bridesmaid
Caroline and Delorean met in Germany and instantly clicked, navigating both military life and high school side by side. Caroline often says she could never have made it through those years without Delorean’s friendship, loyalty, and laughter. Their bond has stood the test of time and distance. No matter how long it has been, every conversation feels as if no time has passed. Delorean cares deeply for her friends and always goes out of her way to stay connected and remind them how much they mean to her. Now living in Virginia, she is a loving wife and devoted mother to her beautiful daughter, a role Caroline has greatly admired. Her sharp intelligence, vocal talent, and unforgettable sense of humor continue to set her apart. These qualities have inspired Caroline since the very beginning. Through every season of life, Delorean has remained one of Caroline’s most cherished friends, and there is no celebrating this next chapter without her.
Stephanie Bernazar
Best Woman
Stephanie is David's sister, twin to Samantha, and wife to Jonathon. From the time Stephanie was born, she was always David's "baby". He used to take her everywhere with him and do almost everything together. As kids, David tried to teach Steph everything he possibly could. Stephanie was, in essence, his little minion. As they grew older, they formed an even closer bond. They made efforts to see each other every few days, spending almost every weekend together adventuring and laughing, sharing a few crazy shenanigans, and even traveling the world together. Stephanie is David's rock and go-to confidant. She is his original "right-hand man". I don't think you will ever see a day when these two will not go to the ends of the world for each other. Stephanie has one of the biggest hearts you will ever know. She doesn't open up to just anyone, but when she does, you're in a special circle. She is smart, driven, funny, a phenomenal cook, and a true foodie with an incredible gift for always finding the best restaurants. Stephanie is also a soon-to-be mom to Melody, David's niece, and the newest addition to their family. David holds Stephanie in the highest regard and could never imagine this day without her standing by his side.
Jonathon Bernazar
Best Man
AKA, the side piece. Jonathon is Stephanie's husband and quickly became David's best friend. They have grown to be inseparable. Jonathon, who is soon to be a proud dad to David's niece, Melody, has a love for cars, motorcycles, technology, video games, and the gym. These are just a few of the many things he and David share in common. Through these interests and many fun travels, they have built countless memories together. Whether it is big adventures or simple everyday moments, they are always side by side; they are each other’s go-to. Their bond is made even stronger by their shared love of Bourbon, Whiskey, Mezcal, and Guinness. Jonathon is lively and expressive, always bringing energy and laughter into any room. While he loves being the center of attention, he is also a genuine and kindhearted person whose big heart shines through, even if he sometimes tries to hide it. To David, Jonathon is more than a friend—he is a true brother. He is the person David leans on, the one he trusts to listen, and the one who helps him navigate through life’s ups and downs.
Jay Aragon
Groomsman
David and Jay met while working together in Lakeland, FL. At first, Jay was actually not too fond of David. When David started his job, being his usual social self, Jay wasn’t a fan of the new guy coming in and taking the spotlight. Within a short period of time, David won Jay over, and their bromance began and has never ended. They have been friends for about 20 years now, and even though they live about an hour and a half away from each other, they always make time and effort to be part of one another's lives. Jay is a wonderful fiancé and father to two beautiful and funny girls. He is also a talented artist who can draw master pieces that even Picasso would be jealous of. He also loves fishing, gaming, and boating, all of which Jay and David bond over. Jay is a jack of all trades, a well-rounded, down-to-earth, and caring friend that David is lucky to have as his groomsman. Throughout the years, they have grown to not only be close friends but have become lifelong brothers.
Gabriel Lagares
Groomsman
Gabriel and David met many years ago while working at Aquatica together; they were actually in the same lifeguard training class, where they instantly clicked and became friends. In the beginning of their friendship, they were what you would call, class clowns. They have spent many young nights out, learned how to navigate their early 20s, and have had so many laughs throughout the years together. Fun fact: Nearly 15 years ago, Gabe and David, with some other close friends at the time, recreated the infamous 1960s “The Rat Pack” poster, a memory David still holds dear to this day. Gabe is a skilled scuba diver, loves to ride motorcycles, and enjoys traveling, all of which Gabe and David bond and share interests over. He is a dad to two extremely smart boys and is one of those A-1, Day-1, ride or die friends. Whether it's 3 pm or 3 am, Gabe will always be there for you, no matter what. As a lifeguard, he was trained to always have the backs of those around him, and that sense of loyalty and responsibility has never left him. To this day, Gabe continues to embody the same devotion with his friends and family. Though life may pull them in different directions, their connection remains unshakable. Whenever they are together, it feels as though no time has passed at all.
Chris Fleharty
Groomsman
Through his friendship with Jay, David was fortunate to meet Chris, Jay’s brother-in-law. What began as a connection through Jay quickly grew into a bond of its own, and today Chris is not just a friend, but someone David truly treasures. Recently married himself, Chris is not only a devoted husband and loving father, but also someone who brings joy and adventure wherever he goes. He enjoys dirt bikes, four-wheeling, boating, fishing, video games, and disc golf—always embracing life with energy and excitement. At his core, Chris is one of those, good ol’, down-home, to the roots, genuine, kind souls. If someone needed it, Chris would give the shirt off his back without hesitation. His kindness, loyalty, and good-natured spirit shine through in everything he does. A fellow whiskey and bourbon lover, Chris and David have shared countless laughs and conversations together. While their friendship may not span as many years as some, the bond they have built is strong and unwavering, a true reflection of the friends they have become.
