Danika & Ryan
Wedding Party
Michaela Leonard
Bridesmaid
Michaela helped support Danika in her first job as a veterinarian-she was the practice manager of their clinic, and not only provided leadership and support in her job, she provided a unique and special friendship which Danika has cherished since they moved to Texas. Michaela and her husband and brand new baby Oliver recently moved to Colorado-welcome her back to Texas!
Caryn Stein
Bridesmaid
Caryn and Danika were lab partners in their first anatomy lab in veterinary school, and fast friends! Caryn is such a fun person and always provided consistent friendship over the years to Danika. Caryn is practicing as a veterinarian in Seattle Washington. It has been way too long since we have seen her due to COVID. Welcome her to Texas!
Adrienne Carfi Zavala
Bridesmaid
Adrienne is Ryan's big sister, and the most warm and loving person! She has always been such a huge support to Ryan and Danika, and always been the big sister Danika wished she had, but found in Adrienne. She is such a generous and kind human, and we cherish all the time we get to spend with her!
Duncan Pratt
Groomsman
Duncan and Ryan met in 4th grade after both switching to a new school. They quickly became friends through grade school, high school and then college both moving to Idaho and attending Boise State University. Although these two dudes are now separated by space, they still hit it off immediately every time they are reunited. We feel very fortunate that Duncan and his wife (congrats on their recent marriage!!) are able to come down to Texas and celebrate with us.
Alex Hernandez
Groomsman
Alex and Ryan met in medical school and instantly hit it off. Alex's house became a haven for them to procrastinate (instead of study) as well as do general dude stuff. Alex and his family will be headed down to Texas from Ohio and we are very excited include them on our wedding day!
Spencer Ashcraft
Groomsman
Ryan and Spencer also met in medical school and quickly became friends. These two along with Alex frequently would engage in shenanigans as well as help each other survive the first two years of professional school. Even though Spencer is from Alaska and should probably go back (inside joke), we are excited for him and his family to come down and joint us for our celebration in Texas!
