Groom
"Marco – the groom. Equal parts charm, wit, and heart—he’s the reason we’re all here, and the luckiest guy in the room."
Bride
"Catherine – the bride. She’s the grace, the glam, and the glow behind it all—and let’s be honest, this celebration wouldn’t shine half as bright without her."
Father of the Groom
"Marco’s father and the self-declared head of the family. His motto? 'Never retire.' And by the looks of it, he’s sticking to it."
Father of the Bride
"Catherine’s stepdad and Chicago’s self-proclaimed Entertainer of the Year (every year), Joe is the family celebrity. He can walk into any room and either know someone—or be known. That’s why everyone calls him Joe Global!"
Mother of the Groom
"Marco’s mother and the true heart of the family. With kindness, wisdom, and just the right amount of sass, she keeps everyone grounded and going. Letting Gerd think he’s in charge? Pure genius."
Mother of the Bride
"Catherine’s mom, the head of the McGee family and the definition of everlasting beauty. Graceful, glamorous, and just the right amount of flair—she runs the show and raised all eight of her children without ever breaking a sweat."
Groomsman
"Marco’s brother and the best one he’s got (luckily, there’s only one). He may work in real estate, but his true love is the stage—just give him a spotlight and watch him shine."
Bridesmaid
"Catherine’s daughter and her stunning mini-me. Smart, kind, and ready to take on the world—she’s heading to college after the summer, and there’s no doubt she’ll shine wherever she goes."
Groomsman
"Marco’s oldest friend, with over 30 years of shared history, mischief, and mildly regrettable decisions. He’s seen it all—and still showed up. Now that’s loyalty."
Bridesmaid
"Catherine’s oldest sister and the family’s culinary queen, event planner, tax professional, hairstylist, and all-around entrepreneur—if you name it, she does it! She brings the flavor, the sass, and the glam."
Groomsman
"Marco’s friend since elementary school and the group’s unofficial diplomat. He now negotiates on the global stage, but his toughest assignment remains managing Marco’s nonsense—some things never change."
Bridesmaid
"Catherine’s older sister, known for her flawless smile and love of all things stylish. She’s got an eye for brands, a heart of gold, and a wardrobe that’s basically a boutique."
Groomsman
"Marco’s boarding school roommate at 13 and fellow half-Dutch survivor. Between sharing a room and a love for hagelslag, their friendship was sealed early—and thankfully, it only got better from there."
Bridesmaid
"Catherine’s younger sister and the queen of makeup artistry. With a warm heart, a gentle touch, and an eye for beauty, she makes everyone feel as amazing as they look."
Bridesmaid
"Catherine’s best friend—they met at work and instantly clicked. With a shared sense of humor and personality, they have so much in common. Through every chapter of life, she’s been a constant—full of love, loyalty, and legendary stories only true friends can share."
