Matron of Honor
My oldest sister Stephanie may be the eldest by age, but she’s forever the youngest at heart. She’s the one I can always count on — my go-to person for a heart-to-heart, a laugh, or a spontaneous adventure. Whether we’re catching up during our morning FaceTime calls, floating down the river, or when I randomly “send it” to Vegas just to surprise her, we always make the best memories together. Stephanie is beautiful inside and out, endlessly creative, and full of light. A note to Stephanie ~ I truly cherish our bond and love how close we’ve become — especially since I became “Aunt Dani.” From talking in silly voices and creating our own world of inside jokes, to our ongoing music battles between Jackson Browne and sad country, or just spilling the tea — every moment with you is a fun. I can’t wait to have you by my side on one of the biggest days of my life. Love you always
Best Man
Randy and I met when we were just three years old, right after my family moved to Burnaby Drive. From that moment on, we were pretty much inseparable. Whether we were hanging out at each other’s houses, riding bikes around the neighborhood, hitting the trails on dirt bikes, or cruising up GMR in our trucks on the weekends—Randy was always there. He’s more than a friend to me—he’s a brother. Randy always talked about joining the military, and when I left for the Marine Corps, he supported me every step of the way. I still remember the long calls we’d have when I was stationed in Japan—those talks meant the world to me. And when he joined the Air Force and began chasing his dream of becoming a pilot, I couldn’t have been prouder. If you’ve ever been around Randy, you’ll never forget his laugh—it’s one of those contagious, full-hearted laughs that makes everyone else laugh too. His energy lights up every room, and he always brings the best vibes wherever he goes. Having Randy as my best man is an absolute honor. There’s no one else I’d rather have standing by my side as I marry the love of my life. Thanks for being there then, now, and always, brother.
Maid of Honor
Michelle is my voice of reason. Whenever I’m stuck overthinking the little things or need honest advice, she’s the one who brings me back to what really matters. Michelle has a quiet strength—tough in the same ways I am—and we share a no-nonsense kind of honesty. We say exactly what’s on our minds, even when our other sisters would rather we didn’t. I still think back to when she was living on the East Coast, and we took that spontaneous trip to THE Mystic Falls in search of Stefan Salvatore. We may not have found any hot vampires, but we did end up in Nashville for one of the most unforgettable sister trips of our lives—one we still laugh about to this day. Michelle’s not overly affectionate, but she loves deeply—sometimes in ways only those who really know her can see. She’s a total homebody, happiest in her own space, and wonderfully awkward in a way that just makes her more lovable. A note to Michelle ~ Thank you for being there for me—always. From my late-night study sessions in college, to long walks through Boise, and now during drives through Beverly Hills, you’ve always picked up the phone. I’m so grateful to have you not just as a sister, but as someone I can always count on.
Groomsman
Mason and I first met back in freshman year while playing soccer for Glendora High School. Right away, I knew this guy was something else. He was wild, unpredictable, and absolutely hilarious. His mind works in the most unique ways—he says the craziest, most off-the-wall things that somehow always end up being exactly what you needed to hear to lift your spirits. The energy Mason brings is infectious. When he’s around, it’s impossible not to smile, laugh, and just have a good time. He lights up every room and makes you feel like the moment you’re in is the best one yet. But beyond all the jokes and wild antics, Mason is someone you want in your corner. He’s loyal to the core—a ride-or-die friend who’ll always have your back. When you need someone, he’s the guy who shows up without you even having to ask. He genuinely celebrates your wins—big or small—and somehow makes you feel like you’ve just achieved greatness every time. Having Mason standing beside me as Dani and I start this next chapter means a lot. I know he’s not only going to bring the party, but also bring that one-of-a-kind energy to the entirety of the day.
Bridesmaid
Rachel is the closest to me in age, and honestly, in spirit too. We’re always up for a good time, and there’s never a dull moment when we’re together. She has this effortless ability to make anyone laugh—she’s hands-down the funniest person I know. Whether we’re shaking our booties, roasting each other, or screaming Hardy lyrics at the top of our lungs, we’re always in stitches. Rachel has the kindest heart and a soul that puts others first. She’s selfless, supportive, and somehow always knows exactly how to lift everyone around her. A note to Rachel ~ Rachel, you are my ultimate hype woman—a sister could not ask for a better one. Thank you for always having my back, for being my rock, and for bringing joy into every room you walk into. You’d do anything for me, and that kind of love is something I’ll never take for granted. Thank you for always being silly with me and for making life more fun. (Your speech better not be in Russian!)
Groomsman
Nick and I first met during our freshman year of high school, when our friend groups naturally merged. From the start, he had this laid-back, go-with-the-flow vibe that made him easy to be around—and let’s be honest, he always had the coolest cars. Some of my favorite high school memories are the cruises we took in those cars, always wondering what his next project would be. Nick is the kind of friend who pushes you to explore beyond your comfort zone, broadens your perspective, and makes life a little more adventurous. Whether it was hanging out at the river, riding bikes, or sharing laughs over a few drinks, the good times have been endless. He’s dependable, loyal, and someone you can always count on—traits that have made him not just a great friend, but a lifelong one. I’m truly honored to have him standing by my side on such an important day.
Bridesmaid
In our early twenties, Amanda and I took a leap of faith. Fresh out of college, we each moved to a state we’d never been to—Boise, Idaho—without knowing a soul, let alone each other. But fate (and a bold roommate decision) turned us from strangers into the best of friends. Our time in Boise was unforgettable. We learned to line dance, soaked in hot springs, hit up every country concert and rodeo we could find, and made the mountains our playground. Through homesickness and wild adventures, we always had each other to lean on. Amanda is the kind of person who can strike up a conversation with anyone, and she’ll have you laughing within minutes. Her energy, humor, and zest for life are contagious—and being around her means you’re never bored for a second. A note to Amanda ~ Amanda, thank you for pushing me out of my comfort zone and being the most incredible roommate and friend. From every little memory to our biggest adventures, we always knew how to make life fun. I truly can’t wait to have you by my side on my wedding day. Diabesties for the resties – always.
Groomsman
Colton and I met out at the river about five years ago, and from day one, our personalities just clicked. He’s one of the most free-spirited people I’ve ever met—with a wild side that refuses to be tamed. If there’s ever a crowd of people laughing, cheering, or causing a scene, chances are Colton’s right in the middle of it. His spontaneous energy is contagious—you never quite know what a night with Colton will bring, but you can always count on it being unforgettable. Whether it’s dancing, storytelling, or sneaking tequila into a water bottle (yes, really), he knows how to turn any gathering into a party. Colton is not just the life of the party, though—he’s a loyal, one-of-a-kind friend, and I’m pumped to have him by my side on the big day. Get ready… he’s probably already working on his dance moves.
Bridesmaid
When you think of a childhood best friend—the one who’s been there through every awkward, hilarious, heartbreaking, and beautiful moment—that’s Silvy to me. She’s the friend who was by my side during those early teen years, especially when I first started dating Toby. I still remember calling her after our very first kiss—she was the first to know, and she was with me for everything that followed. From teenagers to young adults, and now as grown women, our friendship has stood the test of time. No matter where life has taken us, Silvy has always shown up for me, offering endless support, love, and laughter. We even have matching tattoos that remind us just how rare and special our bond is. Seeing her evolve into such a confident, kind-hearted woman and an incredible mom has been nothing short of inspiring. A note to Silvy ~ Okay… is 13-year-old Silvy freaking out just as much as 13-year-old Dani right now that I’m actually marrying THE Toby? Because same. We’ve been through so much together, and I cherish our friendship more than words can say. So… are you ready to get me married, Mr. Krabs?
Groomsman
Scotty and I met when he joined the Ribaudo family, and we hit it off right away. We instantly bonded over our shared love for watersports, off-road adventures, and just living life to the fullest outdoors. Scotty is easily one of the most adventurous and welcoming people I’ve ever met. He’s always up for trying something new, exploring a new place, or bringing someone along for the ride—literally. Whether it’s offering an extra seat in his RZR or an extra bed in his trailer, he’s the kind of guy who genuinely wants to share the good times with everyone around him. One of my all-time favorite memories with Scotty was dancing the night away at Stagecoach in our matching jean short shorts, surrounded by friends and country music—it doesn’t get much better than that. Being part of his wedding was unforgettable, and I’m honored to now have him standing with me on mine. Even more than that, I’m lucky to be gaining Scotty not just as a groomsman—but officially as my brother-in-law.
Bridesmaid
Christa is the definition of the fourth big sister I never had. Growing up, she was always around my older sisters—and I was the classic annoying little sister she never asked for but somehow got anyway. As I got older, our relationship evolved from playful to downright fun. We’re both unapologetically Type A, and when we’re not being boss ladies, we’re living it up with a drink in hand. From countless river trips, to Christa literally planning the ultimate 21st birthday for me, to our unforgettable (and chaotic) Nashville adventure with our parents—we’ve made some of my favorite memories together. Christa is the kind of person who brings the energy, the laughter, and the love wherever she goes. Watching her grow from party girl to fun, loving mom to her baby Beluga has been such a cool journey to witness. A Note to Christa ~ Thank you for always being the “cool” sister—hyping me up, making me laugh, and never holding back on the fun. Some of my favorite times have been your Sunday Fundays, laughing at Cody, and just being ridiculous together. The amount of laughs we’ve shared is honestly infinite, and I can't wait for all the memories still to come.
Groomsman
Tyler and I first met out at the river, and let’s just say—he made quite the first impression. He confidently told me he was an expert off-road driver and all I had to do was give directions. So there we were—Randy and I in the back of the Ribaudo’s Rhino, Cody Zindroski riding shotgun, and me yelling “Turn right!” as Tyler confidently veered left... straight into a rollover. Classic Tyler introduction. Despite the wild start, we quickly became good friends. Thankfully, we never flipped another vehicle, but we definitely kept the good times rolling. Tyler is the definition of fun—laid-back, full of energy, and always down for an adventure. We’ve bonded over our shared love of water toys and our constant debates about motocross—just about every Saturday, we’re texting predictions on who’s going to win the race. I’m especially excited for Tyler to be part of this big day—not just as a groomsman, but soon, as my brother-in-law. Couldn’t ask for a better guy to have by my side.
Bridesmaid
Destinee is my Alpha Phi "Big Sis"—and she absolutely lives up to the title. From the very start of my freshman year at UCI, she was by my side helping me figure it all out. Whether it was getting through tough Biology classes or recovering after she lovingly hazed me at frat parties (lol), she was the best kind of guide and an even better friend. Having her as my best friend during that time made all the difference. Destinee is the kind of person who always reaches out first—calls, texts, checks in—even when I’m the worst at replying. Because of her, we never lose touch, and I love her for that. Her heart is full of love, her filter is basically nonexistent (in the best way), and she always knows how to make me laugh. She’s real, loyal, and one of those rare friends you know you’ll have for life. A Note to Des ~ We are so similar in all the best (and most chaotic) ways, and our humor? Unmatched. I swear we’re either laughing nonstop or making fun of something—or someone. I’m beyond grateful to have you in my life and standing by my side on my wedding day. Your friendship means the world to me. Love always, Your favorite Little ;)
Groomsman
Zane and I go way back—we first met in middle school, but it was in high school that our friendship really took off. From that point on, we were hanging out almost every weekend, creating memories that still make me laugh today. Zane has always been the kind of friend you can open up to—someone who truly listens, gives solid advice, and is often the voice of reason when you need it most. But don’t let that fool you—he also knows how to bring the energy. Whether it's introducing the best drinking games (he’s the undefeated beer die champion, by the way) or just keeping the good times rolling, Zane always brings the vibes. He’s loyal, genuine, and always down for a good time. I’m beyond excited to have him by my side on the big day.
