Kris Rosenberger
Best Man
My name is Kris Rosenberger and I am beyond honoured and blessed to be standing up as the best man for Miro and Delaney’s wedding. I met Miro about 12 years ago while working security at northlands park and to this day we work together as corrections officers at the Edmonton remand center . 12 years ago we had realized that we have a lot in common with each other and had become besties. Over the years, we grew passions together and had taken the motorcycle course together, gone on bike trips and have traveled to Mexico for American spring break. As the years went on Miro had met Delaney who became close friends and what I consider to be a part of my family . I got married to my beautiful wife Becky in 2023 which I was blessed to have Miro standing up as one of my groomsmen. I have two fur sons , an 18 pound orange tabby named Gus and golden retriever named Ruger. In the fall you can find me traversing Alberta’s wilderness pursuing big game trying to “fill the freezer” and in the summer you can find me sitting on my newly acquired boat jigging for walleye or casting for that next trophy northern pike . I am beyond excited for Miro and Delaney’s big day and to celebrate the beginning of their next chapter in life.

Maid of Honor
I first met Delaney in 2017 as part of the opening team for a new gym. While we worked together for years, we really became close after she made the leap to leave the gym and pursue a new career. Since then, she’s become such a treasure in my life. We've bonded over our shared love of travel, all things Disney, and our mutual obsession with extreme organizing and tackling DIY projects. When I’m not hanging out with Delaney, you’ll probably find me at the gym, planning my next adventure (I make it a point to visit at least one new country every year), or diving into my design and marketing projects. I’m a firm believer in always trying something new, so I’ve made it my mission to start a new hobby each year. This year, I’m making handmade goods. I’m known for my big heart, laughter, and going the extra mile for the people I love. Much like Delaney and Miro, who always show up for the people they care about, they’re two of the best people I’ve ever met, and I’m so lucky to have them as my best friends. I’m beyond thrilled to be part of their big day, celebrating the love and the amazing, wild adventure they’re about to embark on together! XO Victoria

Groomsman
Our shared love of motorcycles brought us together in the summer of 2015, and we’ve been hitting the road ever since. Whenever life allows, we make it a priority to reunite for annual bike trips, creating unforgettable memories along the way. When Delaney came into the picture, it was a relief to know Miro had found someone who not only takes care of him but also handles the little things like hanging pictures on the wall, which we all know isn’t his strong suit! Miro has been a loyal riding companion and an even better friend, and I couldn’t be happier to celebrate this special day with them.
Alyssa Mitchell
Bridesmaid
Hi! I'm Alyssa! Delaney and I met back in 2020 through her future husband. Since then, we have become close friends talking, hanging out, planning yearly Vegreville Fair trips, to then becoming coworkers at the University of Alberta Hospital. In just a short amount of time my friendship with Delaney has grown to be a very special one. I am so honored to be a part of this wedding.
Darian Massey
Groomsman
I’m Darian, Im one of Miro’s closest friends and coworkers. I met Miro nine years ago during my first week at the Remand Centre. We became close buddies right away, where he taught me the ropes of the job, and became a friend I can rely on; the type of friends that can roast each other but still show up when it counts. Fast forward a bit, came Delaney. I remember sitting in Pod Control with Miro, listening to him tell me all about Delaney and how he was falling in love with her. I’m grateful for the role Miro has played in my life, and it’s incredible to see how these two have grown together.
Ashley Massey
Bridesmaid
My name is Ashley and I met Delaney about four years ago through my husband, who is good friends and coworkers with her fiancé. Over time, Delaney and I have grown incredibly close, and our friendship has become such a meaningful part of my life. We’ve built a tight-knit friend group that feels like family, and I’m so honored to be part of her big day!
Kinley Mitchell
Flower Girl
Hi! I'm Kinley! I met Laney and Miro through my mom and dad. I love Elsa and all things Frozen. In the summer my Mom and Laney take me to the Vegreville Fair where I get to go on the Tilt-a-Whirl as many times as I want. I really hope Laney lets me wear an Elsa dress down the aisle.
Ava Mitchell
Flower Girl
Hi! I’m Ava! I met Laney and Miro through my mom, Alyssa. I am a silly and spunky little girl. I love Frozen like my sister Kinley, but I also love to belt Moana songs at the top of my lungs. When I'm not pushing all my mom's buttons, I like to go to gymnastics where I get to burn off some of my boundless energy. I can’t wait for Laney and Miro’s wedding!
Brent Friedrich
Officiant
My name is Brent Friedrich and I’m honored to officiate Miro and Delaney’s wedding in August. I live in White Rock, BC with my wife Jena and two kids. I first met Miro in 1999 in Camrose, Ab when he and a group of neighborhood kids would play soccer in the courtyard of the college I was attending. What started as a kind of big brother relationship developed into a pretty amazing friendship over the years. I first met Delaney in the summer of 2020 when they were traveling through BC together. Over the past four years, it’s been a joy to watch their relationship grow and see how perfectly they complement each other. My family and I couldn’t be more thrilled to celebrate their love and commitment this summer. August 9th is sure to be an unforgettable day!
Michael Yakimchuk
Usher/Wedding Jester
Hi! I’m Michael, Delaney’s single and handsome younger brother. I met Delaney on my Birthday in May, 2000. I am studying computer science at UBC in Vancouver. In my spare time I like to game with my buddies and try out craft beers. If you asked my friends and family to describe me, they’d tell you I’m loyal, thoughtful, and have a knack for comedic timing. I’ll be around to help everyone find their seats at the wedding and tell them where they should be and when. Oh and ladies, did I mention I’m single? Please seek me out should you find yourself in need of a dancing partner-I’d be happy to oblige. Also, if you get enough drinks in me I might even indulge us all with some of my many spot on accents and impressions. I’m thrilled to watch my sister get married, and to officially welcome my soon to be brother-in-law Miroslav to our family.
Bandit
Best Boy
Woof! I’m Bandit, Delaney and Miro’s bestest boy. I can’t make it to the ceremony (lame, I know) since the botanic garden doesn’t allow pets. I’m 12 years young. Some of my favourite hobbies include sleeping, eating treats, sucking on my toys, and relentlessly licking my paws at all hours of the night. You may have noticed I’m winking at you; I have glaucoma which caused me to lose an eye a couple years ago. Fret not, becoming a cyclops hasn’t slowed me down a bit I’m still the same loving goofy guy I was with two eyes. I am so happy my people are finally tying the knot. If we’re lucky, I may be able to make a guest appearance at the reception hall. Kisses! -Bandy
