Wedding Party
Maddy Rago
Matron of Honor
Maddy and Delaney met in fourth grade at Winston Campus in Palatine. They were instant best friends. From the playground, to PAFA Cheer, to dance classes/recitals and rival cheerleading teams in high school -to Maddy getting married and having two beautiful baby girls, they've seen each other through so many stages of life. Here's to another one!
Catie Demaret
Maid of Honor
Catie and Delaney are sisters in every sense of the word. From sharing a bedroom in jr high and high school, to traveling the world and being roommates in the city, now weekly Bachelor/Dancing with the Stars dates at Christy's house. Catie continues to "force" Delaney into the city for concerts and nights out to keep her from becoming a country mouse. Something to know about them, if you've ever told one of them a secret, it's a good bet the other one knows too.
Amina Akhtar
Bridesmaid
Amina and Delaney met at the Derm in Park Ridge. Dealing with a wide spectrum of patients, navigating providers needs and trying to stay sane through it all brought them together! Amina keeps Delaney laughing no matter what! From skin care to besties, these two have the best time together, even though others may not understand them as they are always talking in accents!
Delaney Demaret
Bridesmaid
How many people can say they have a sister with the same first name? Delaney and Delaney can! These two share a name, but also share lots of memories growing up. Laney the "little" sister always keeping up with the rest, now we can't keep up with her! Delaney and Laney have a sister bond that stretches across the miles. So happy she's here to share this special day!
Jaci Griff
Bridesmaid
Delaney and Jaci had a chilly start! Jaci was Delaney's manager at Cryo Effect where they routinely froze clients who requested it. Between freeze appointments the two had lots of dance breaks, snacks and general shenanigans solidifying a friendship that is more fun than frosty! Fun fact, their snap chat streak is more than 13K!
Jillian Jensby
Bridesmaid
JIllian is Delaney's little sister, although not so little these days! Jillian is headed into her senior year of high school and keeps Delaney updated on all of the "lingo". Delaney tries her best to be a cool older sister..but she will never be as cool as Jillian!
Mallory Malinowski
Bridesmaid
Mallory and Delaney met in high school as rivals at a football game, the rivalry soon became a friendship. Lots of school dances and spring break in Florida to going out to clubs dancing til dawn, to Mallory becoming a wife and a mother, they've been through it all. Important to note that Mallory was the first to meet Andrew! After meeting him she quickly Face Timed Delaney to make the introductions...the rest is history!
Ally Sweeney
Bridesmaid
Ally is Delaney's "Irish sister" (both Irish ladies). Delaney met Ally when Drew was living with Tony at Jack's house. Ally and Delaney were weekend roomies, and kept each other sane while coexisting with boys in a house. Regardless if the boys are there or not, you can always find these two doing a jig or giggling in a corner of the room!
Rico Cavazos
Best Man
Rico and Drew became friends in the early days of high school, their first conversation was about fishing, obviously. Legend has it no fish has been safe since then! Rico has been instrumental in Drew's journey as an outdoorsman, including getting him hooked on deer hunting (to Delaney's dismay). If you're looking for Rico, check the dance floor first!
Ryan Barry
Groomsman
Ryan (known as Barry) has been a best friend to Drew since high school. Ryan always has the guys laughing everywhere and anywhere. They've made unforgettable memories fishing and camping throughout the years. A fun fact about Ryan is that he has a great love for all birds, his favorite being the Shoebill Stork!
Anthony Giannone
Groomsman
Anthony and Drew met in 2017. They quickly became great friends and then roommates for four years. Anthony is dating Ally, who is Delaney's bridesmaid. Anthony is most known to be the stunt man of the group, on their adventures he's probably doing something that's being recorded for blackmail in the future. Call him Tony!
Norbert Jedrusiak
Groomsman
Drew met Norbert at the same time as Anthony, similarly becoming great friends. Drew often uses Norbert for his mechanical expertise, thankfully he gives Drew a discount! Norbert is always down for anything no matter the plan. Fun fact about Norbert - he is fluent in polish and drinks like it too! Catch him on the dance floor with Rico cutting up a rug.
Gary Lopez
Groomsman
Drew met Gary in the early years of high school. Gary is Rico’s first cousin, and you can tell by the way they both love the outdoors. Gary is always the head chef on camping trips, arrachera is his specialty and it always hits the spot. Fun fact, Gary is definitely the best dressed out of the group!
Ryan Nutof
Groomsman
Ryan is one of Drew’s first best friends, meeting in second grade. Obviously they’ve made many amazing memories over the years, but Drew’s favorite memories are from Concord Park. Ryan spent many years playing baseball throughout the country, but he and Drew always pick up right where they left off.
Jack Scheffler
Groomsman
Rico introduced Drew to Jack in high school and the rest is history. Jack was Anthony and Drew’s “live in landlord” for a few years, and they had the best time living all together as roommates. Jack loves the outdoors as well, but his main passion is drag racing. Fun fact, Jack has a boxer named Nana after the movie ‘Snow Dogs’ ask him to see a picture of her… you won’t regret it!
Tyler Shields
Groomsman
Tyler has known Drew the longest since he is Drew's older brother! Drew always looked up to Tyler, and learned what to do, and what not to do. In their younger years, they would fight hard, but they always had each other’s back's. Tyler is credited with teaching Drew the ropes of painting (including patience). Tyler is a great role model and a great dog dad!
