Best Man
-1986- Aaron's Idol. Robby has always been more than just Aaron’s best friend. He’s been the big brother, the protector, & let’s be honest, the bad influence every little brother needs. When Aaron’s dad was deployed, Robby stepped up, not just as a role model, but as a second father figure, always there with advice, a shoulder to lean on, or a swift kick in the right direction when needed. Aaron’s love for fishing, rugby, &—let’s not kid ourselves—drinking, can all be traced back to Robby: a true mentor in the fine art of questionable decisions & lifelong memories.
Maid of Honor
-1992- Caitlin is Delaney's best (& only) big sister. Despite their differences while growing up, no amount of childhood violence could stop them from becoming great friends as adults. Caitlin shares Delaney's love of travel, having too many pets, & weird comedy videos (not to mention a significant portion of her DNA). Delaney feels so lucky to have a role model, mentor, sounding board, & friend all wrapped up into one tiny, five-foot package. She knows Caitlin will be beside her for all her biggest milestones, challenges, & successes to come.
Groomsman
-2010- Aaron's sidekick, his son, his pride & joy. Watching him grow—sometimes up close, sometimes from a distance—has been one of Aaron’s greatest privileges. He misses him fiercely when they're apart, & smothers him with love when they’re together. Adored across two continents & loved by three families, he’s a young man with a smile that can light up any room & a heart that warms everyone around him. His sense of adventure, passion for fishing, & occasional sneaky beer have brought endless joy to the family. As he matures into the remarkable young man he's becoming, Aaron couldn’t be prouder. To call him his son is a true honor.
Bridesmaid
-2010- Lindsey & Delaney met in college in California, connecting over their mutual Arizona homesickness. It only took one poorly planned road trip & a few hours waiting on roadside assistance while reading Cosmopolitan to become lifelong friends. Lindsey has always been the epitome of living life to the fullest, & has brought Delaney along for many an adventure. Whether it was driving Delaney to TP her first house at 19 (what a goodie two-shoes), reading trash magazines on the couch, or getting lost looking for parties in the Orange Circle, Delaney's college experiences would be a lot less fun and memorable without Lindsey in them.
Groomsman
-1999- Aaron's Ride or Die. A friendship that took its time to truly begin—what started as a connection through others eventually became something just between the two of them. Paddy grew into Aaron's most trusted friend, & over time, a brother. Their bond really took shape in young adulthood, forged through countless bumps in the road: dragging sledges with cars, beating Paddy in every drunken arm wrestle, or just sharing a quiet cup of tea after a hard day. Through it all, Paddy became more than a friend. He became Aaron’s confidant, his constant, & his brother in every way that counts.
Bridesmaid
-2011- Corinne came into Delaney's life in college as the "little sister" that Delaney always wanted. Through several years of living together, they only almost killed each other once or twice. The rest of the time was full of late-night laughing fits, munching cereal straight from the box, & trying their best to survive the other roommates. Even more special, their friendship has been marked by many moments of deep conversations, tough disagreements, & pushing each other towards so much personal growth. The best kinds of friendships are the ones that bring out our best.
Groomsman
-1996- The man Aaron couldn't better. A role model as a father, a husband, & a symbol of support & love. It all started back at school—Chris teasing Aaron about his accent. But over time, through endless lessons & shared laughs, that teasing turned into a solid friendship. From classmates to best mates to standing as groomsmen at each others' weddings. Somewhere between detentions, drawing body outlines on pavements, & mysteriously going missing in Spain, Chris didn’t just become a best friend—he became like a brother. To this day, through all the chaos & memories, that bond still holds strong
Bridesmaid
-2015- Delaney met Kylie through a networking happy hour, & they quickly became inseparable. Despite looking nothing alike, they were often called by each other's names & asked where the other was at all times. Over the years they shared more than a few Parks & Recreation references, Ostrich Festivals, & drunk haircuts. Their friendship also grew through the love between their pitbulls, Sweet Pea & Zuul. You just can't break the bond between dog in-laws. These days, although Kylie has moved on to a way cooler career, they still stand united in a love of drinking great cocktails & annoying Kylie's husband.
Groomsman
-2019- Aaron’s Homie. His Brother. From the first time they stepped onto a muddy rugby pitch in California, Aaron & Zach clicked. That day marked the start of a friendship that would grow far beyond sport. Through tackles & beers, they built a bond that could only be forged in the chaos of the game. Both would eventually trade the California coastline for the Arizona sun. But the move didn’t change a thing—it only deepened their friendship. From rugby fields to refined fairways, from BBQs to poolside hangs, their journey turned from friendship into brotherhood. Zach didn’t just become a friend—he became family. A trusted ally.
Bridesmaid
-2021- When Delaney joined a kickball team in 2021, Jamie was the cool & intimidating girl that Delaney was scared to approach. But once they got to know each other, Delaney saw what a friendly, down-to-earth, & genuine person Jamie is. Not to mention that Jamie wasn't afraid to be completely herself in front of just about anyone. Jamie is a truly funny & emotionally intelligent person, always willing to share a laugh, a frenzied wallpapering project, or an ear to vent to. She's also an amazing dog auntie & cat sitter. She is an incredible friend, a shameless Taco Bell Connosseur & most recently a rockstar mama.
Flower Guy
-2008- Flower Guy Extraordinaire, Aaron's Nephew Don’t let the tough rugby exterior fool you—Fin is trading in his boots for petals as our legendary flower guy. A powerhouse on the field & a total sweetheart off it, he’s bringing charm, muscle, & just the right amount of flair down the aisle. Whether he's tackling opponents or tossing flowers, he does it all with heart. We’re lucky to have this all-around good young man playing a starring role in our big day.
Flower Girl
-2010- Flower Girl Princess, Aaron's Niece Sweet, smart, & a little bit shy, Eva is a bright, sassy sweetheart who’s never far from her dad's side (Robby). Known for her quick wit & charming personality, she brings a spark of joy wherever she goes. Whether she’s stealing her Dad's Stanley Cups or eavesdropping on Delaney's Spanish, Eva is ready to steal the show (& maybe a few hearts) as she leads the way down the aisle.
Officiant
-2005- Delaney met Taylor in freshman year drama class. They were quick to bond over angsty teen music & always saying each other's jokes louder just to take credit. Taylor is a serial movie-quoter, a Manchester United fan (gross), & the original founder/spokesperson of "Comfortable Chairs." Despite the long distance in college, they managed to keep touch over the years. After supporting Delaney through plenty of breakups, Taylor is finally happy to see Delaney end up with a fellow football fan (even if it's his rival team). Now Aaron has a new friend to help him pick on Delaney.
