Wedding Party
Lisa Denker
Mother of the Bride
Desiree's mom, best friend, and constant through every season of life. The two of them have weathered a lot together, growing up side by side in a way that forged an unshakable bond. Lisa has been Desiree's rock, her cheerleader, her sounding board, and her safe place. Their connection runs deep, built on love, resilience, and endless support - and having Lisa by her side on this day means everything.
John and Janet Trindle
Parents of the Bride
Brette’s parents have shared over 35 years of marriage, building a life full of love, resilience, and more inside jokes than they’ll ever admit. Their steady presence and quiet strength have shaped so much of what love and family mean to her. Through every chapter — and now, this one — their support has meant the world. We’re so thankful to have them by our side as we celebrate this day.
Nicole (Nikki) Denker
Maid of Honor
Desiree's cousin and built-in bestie since birth (well, since her birth). Nikki and Desiree are more like sisters than cousins - sharing everything from childhood secrets to group texts full of memes and questionable advice. She's loyal, hilarious, and always the first to show up with snacks, sarcasm, and support. There's no one else Desiree could imagine standing by her side.
Jeanette (Jenn) Gamble
Maid of Honor
Brette's niece, but more importantly, she's one of her best friends and favorite people in the world. From the moment she was born (when Brette was just 16), she's held a huge piece of Brette's heart and now she's holding her bouquet. She's funny, loyal, wildly smart, and have been hyping this love story since the first chapter. Brette can't imagine saying "I do" without Jeanette by her side - and probably whispering something ridiculous to make her laugh through the vows.
Holly Rumsey
Matron of Honor
Desiree's cousin and "little sister" in every way that matters. From childhood sleepovers to life's biggest milestones, these two have been through it all together. Desiree had the honor of standing by Holly's side at her wedding, and has been there through the beautiful chaos of motherhood as Holly's family has grown. Now, it's Holly's turn to return the favor - and there's no one more ride-or-die to have by Desiree's side on this special day.
Jamie Frey
Matron of Honor
Jamie is Brette's younger sister, lifelong sidekick, and the one who keeps everything (and everyone) in check - especially Brette. As a teacher and mom, she's already a master at multitasking and crowd control, so this gig felt like destiny. She's steady, thoughtful, and always knows how to find the right words or the right wine. Brette is beyond lucky to have her in her corner, both as her sister and her matron of honor.
Allyssa Foss
Bridesmaid
Desiree's cousin, almost-birthday twin, and forever soul sister. From sharing cake-filled birthday parties to navigating life's biggest ups and downs, Desiree and Allyssa have always shown up for each other. Their bond is one of unwavering love, laughter, and late-night talks that sometimes turn into therapy sessions. Having Allyssa by her side on this day is more than just tradition - it's a celebration of a lifelong friendship that's weathered everything and only grown stronger.
Jill Gamble
Bridesmaid
Jill is Brette's oldest sister, her voice of reason, and the quiet backbone of so many big moments in her life. She's full of hard-earned wisdom and dry wit - the kind that makes you laugh and think. She's also the proud mom of Maid of Honor Jeanette, which makes having them both in the wedding feel extra special. Jill has cheered Brette on through everything from new jobs to new love, and she's beyond grateful Jill is here to walk with her through the next chapter.
Andrew Foss, Jr.
Bridesman
Desiree's cousin and honorary little brother since the day he was born (just before she could legally vote). Despite the age gap, these two have always shared a special bond - equal parts protective, hilarious, and rooted in unconditional love. From cheering him on through life to watching him grow into the incredible man he is today, Desiree is beyond proud to have Andrew standing by her side on this big day - just like family always does.
Jonna Harris
Bridesmaid
Jonna is Brette's youngest sister and the honorary princess of the family. They may live far apart, but their bond is strong - usually held together by chaotic TikToks, dramatic voice notes, and way too many texts that start with "Okay, here me out." She brings warmth, wit, and grounded energy that Brette treasures every day. Brette couldn't imagine tying the knot without her by her side.
Rick Bittle
Officiant
Ricky is the oldest of Brette's siblings and the fearless leader of the pack - equal parts wise, witty, and just the right amount of unhinged. He's a trivia king, a LEGO-building legend, and always ready with a one-liner (or five). Beneath the sarcasm is a big softie who's endlessly protective and occasionally tolerable, depending on his playlist. Desiree and Brette couldn't imagine anyone else officiating their wedding...though they are hoping for more laughter than cringe. Either way, bottoms up!
John & Lucy
Cuteness Crew
John and Lucy will be bringing the joy (and probably the snacks) as our flower girl and ring bearer. John is Jamie’s oldest — smart, curious, and always building something brilliant with LEGOs or zooming into his next car obsession. Lucy may be quiet, but don’t be fooled — she’s a fearless daredevil with dimples that could win awards and a deep love for snack time. We can’t wait to see them strut or sprint their way down the aisle — no matter how it goes, it’ll be perfect.
Chase, Jordyn & Peyton
Cuteness Crew
Our nephew Chase is the proud (and very protective) big brother to Jordyn and Peyton. At just four years old, he’s already fearless, adventurous, and always ready for whatever comes next. Whether he’s leading the way or keeping a watchful eye on his little sisters, Chase brings a perfect mix of fun, energy, and sweetness wherever he goes. We have no doubt he’ll take his role very seriously—while still managing to steal the spotlight along the way! Our littlest members of the bridal party, Jordyn and Peyton are our twin nieces and already stealing hearts everywhere they go. Born a little early but full of personality, these two have been making up for lost time with double the smiles, giggles, and sweetness. By the time of the wedding, they’ll be just over a year old—perfectly toddling into their roles and undoubtedly charming every guest in the room. We couldn’t imagine our day without these two tiny loves by our side.
Joey & Charlotte
Cuteness Crew
Joey and Charlotte, Jonna’s adorable duo, are full of personality, spunk, and nonstop charm. Whether they’re making us laugh, keeping things lively, or just being their sweet, silly selves, they bring so much joy wherever they go. With their big smiles and even bigger personalities, these two are sure to light up the day and keep things fun from start to finish. We’re so lucky to have them be part of such a special moment with us
