Wedding Party
Ivana Dokic
Maid of Honor
Meet Ivana, she is sunshine in human form. From the moment her and I met, it was besties at first sight, like two halves that make a whole. A force of nature, she has this uncanny ability to light up every room she walks into, bringing joy and belly laughs wherever she goes. Ivana is that person your soul finds in the midst of trying to navigate the craziest challenges that life throws at you and then forms the most special kind of friendship. Through all the laughs, cries, and too many bottles of rose, I won the bestie jackpot because I gained a sister for life.
Jessica Blanch
Bridesmaid
Meet Jess, she is the epitome of strength and grace (besides what her picture might suggest). Daph and Jess met in the most serendipitous way while she was visiting Victoria one summer and then she loved Victoria so much that she moved the next year and the rest is history! She navigates life with a resilience that inspires everyone around her. We are in awe of her everyday. But don't be fooled by her gentle nature because as her picture does suggest - she'll rally until long after the music stops!
Tara O'connor
Bridesmaid
Meet Tara, the embodiment of sweetness and patience. She has a heart of gold, filled with kindness and understanding making her the best confidante for all of life's joys and challenges. But don't be deceived by her innocence - she will order you shots of the worst kind and chant until you throw em' back. We met on a camping trip and instantly clicked. She walked into Daph's life like she was always meant to be there and now we couldn't ever imagine life without her.
Riley Mill
Bridesmaid
Meet Riley, she is a radiant spark with a heart as fierce as her spirit. Quirky, sweet, and unapologetically herself, she brings a burst of energy and warmth to everything she does. She wears her heart on her sleeve and you can bet her moves on the dance floor will be unmatched. Tori introduced Riley and I and thank god she did because from the moment we met, I knew I gained a loyal friend for life and I am so grateful to have her by my side on this journey.
Tori Southworth
Bridesmaid
Meet Tori, with her serene demeanor and unwavering support, she brings a sense of calm to every moment. From work pals to besties, Tori and I forged a bond far beyond the craziness we survived together from working in an emergency animal hospital through a pandemic. From navigating the highs and lows of life to many unforgettable cabin trips, Tori's cool, calm and collected nature is the best comfort you could ask for in a friend.
Ben Gregory
Best Man
Meet Ben, the epitome of a lifelong friend. For a whopping 25 years, Ben and I have been partners in crime, from dodging dodgeballs on the elementary playground to surviving the wild jungles of high school together. Like the movie stepbrothers, our journey has been filled with laughs, escapades, and a few misadventures that shall remain classified. His unwavering loyalty and the treasure trove of memories are the glue of my life. As he stands with me, I can't help but wonder what adventure is next - with Ben, the fun never ends.
Reed Jones
Groomsman
Meet Reed, not just my little brother but a lifelong companion and confidant. Growing up together, we've shared every high and low, and those shared experiences have woven the rich tapestry of our brotherhood. His presence is a constant reminder of where I'm from and the unspoken understanding that only siblings share. Reed's role in the wedding is not just as a groomsman but as a pillar of my past and future.
Alexander Love
Groomsman
Meet Alex, Scot's future brother-in-law aka Daphne's big bro! Scot and Alex had the pleasure of meeting in the halls of Oak Bay high 15 years ago. Over the 9 years of Scot and Daphne being together, Alex became more than just a future in-law, he became a friend. Their countless fun-filled family gatherings and memorable nights out have only deepened their bond. Alex's easy-going nature and propensity for fun have made every moment together unforgettable.
Logan Fisher
Groomsman
Meet Logan, a fellow UVic Vike alumni, who brings an unmatched energy and strong will to every field he steps onto and every challenge he faces. Over Scot and Logan's 4 years as Vikes, especially the unforgettable trip to Phoenix, Logan showcased not just his athletic prowess but his spirit of camaraderie. His vibrant presence and relentless determination have been a driving force in their friendship, always pushing them to go further and laugh harder.
Sylvain Taghaoussi
Groomsman
Meet Sylvain, the calm and collected genius of the varsity soccer squad, who has always been the strategy behind their victories. His intelligence, both on and off the field, not only bonded him and Scot throughout their time together on the Vikes but has now led them to excel alongside each other in their shared day jobs. Sylv's serene approach to life's challenges and his unwavering support have made him an indispensable part of Scot's life.
