Wedding Party
Andrea
Maid of Honor
Alexandra's favorite sister, resident food encyclopedia, and the queen of quick comebacks. She's endlessly witty, with a knack for noticing the tiniest details no one else picks up on. Andrea knows more about global cuisine than most travel shows, and she’s always ready with a hot take and a killer restaurant recommendation. Though she lives in Oregon, she’s been a constant in Alex's life no matter the miles, and she couldn’t imagine saying “I do” without her clever commentary and support.
Chad
Best Man
Chad is the groom’s younger brother and the youngest Christianson in the bunch. A title he’s proud to hold, mostly because it means he gets away with a little more than the rest of us. If there’s one thing to know about Chad, it’s that he knows how to have a good time, and when he’s not cracking jokes, Chad’s busy making sure everyone’s lights stay on, literally. As an electrician, he’s always wired for a good time (and he’ll be the first to tell you he can fix the reception hall's lights if they flicker). There’s no one better to stand next to the groom than Chad, a brother who brings the fun, keeps the lights on, and reminds us all not to take life too seriously.
Jackson
Bridesman
The youngest of the bunch and undeniably the “golden boy,” Jackson has always had a magical ability to get away with everything—often with his sisters swooping in to save the day. He now lives in Wilmington, NC, but no matter where he is, he brings a spark of mischief and joy to every room he enters. Goofy, fearlessly authentic, and impossible not to love, Jackson keeps everyone laughing and on their toes. The bride couldn’t imagine this day without his signature chaos and charm.
John
Groomsman
John has been unrelentingly supportive of Cody since they met through mutual friends back in 2017 and hit it off right away. Over the past four years, John has helped the couple move not once, not twice, but four times. If that’s not loyalty, we don’t know what is. He and Cody have bonded over cheesy horror movies, hunting for vinyl records, and somehow turning even the simplest moments into unforgettable ones, whether they’re sitting around a late-night fire pit or doing interpretive dances with party streamers. John is the kind of friend who always shows up, no questions asked, and brings a good time with him. There’s no one better to stand by Cody’s side.
Gus
Best Boy
Gus is the couple’s beloved pointing hunting dog and easily the best boy in their lives. He takes his job in the field very seriously and has never met a pheasant he didn’t want to point at, chase, or bark about later. When he’s off duty, Gus loves long walks at the park, sniffing every single tree, and acting like every rabbit is part of an undercover operation. Unfortunately, Gus won’t be at the wedding, mostly because everyone knows he would completely steal the spotlight and probably the snacks too. He’s the ultimate good boy and definitely here in spirit, tail wags and all.
Chris
Officiant
Chris met the groom through work and quickly became not just a colleague but a true mentor and friend. Over the years, he’s been the person Cody could count on for honest advice, encouragement, and plenty of laughs along the way. When he’s not guiding people through life’s big decisions, Chris loves nothing more than a good board game. He’s always ready to roll the dice, strategize, and keep things fun. It’s only fitting that someone who has helped lead Cody through so many chapters is now here to help lead this one too. There’s no one better to make it all official than Chris.
