Delaney & David
Wedding Party
Anna Schaus
Maid of Honor
Delaney and Anna were randomly assigned as roommates during their freshman year, but it quickly became clear that their friendship was meant to be. The Lord knew exactly what He was doing when He placed Anna in Delaney’s life. Together, they spent countless nights binge-watching anything Gordon Ramsay and true crime documentaries. Anna quickly became Delaney’s go-to adventure buddy and biggest supporter, always ready for a spontaneous outing or a daily debrief.
Jonathan Charos
Best Man
Jonathan is someone who has earned the honor of being the best man. Growing up with a younger brother like Jonathan was a true blessing, as he brought energy, competition, and an unbreakable bond to every stage of life. One of David’s most cherished memories with Jonathan is waking up at the crack of dawn to head out on the boat for a fishing trip with their father. Without fail, within an hour, Jonathan would be fast asleep in the back of the boat. He remained completely unbothered by the sun shining directly in his face.
Emily Duncan
Bridesmaid
During her sophomore year at GCU, Delaney met Emily at a college club meeting. They were assigned to work on the newsletter together and slowly bonded over their mutual disinterest in the club. Without Emily, Delaney’s college experience wouldn’t have been nearly as full of laughter. Whether tackling assignments or simply enjoying life, Emily always brought humor and joy into Delaney’s days.
Quin Fahnestock
Groomsman
Quin is David’s closest friend from back home in California. Their friendship began in sixth grade and grew stronger through lunchtime basketball games.

Through every high and low, Quin is always offering unwavering support.
Elly Kenninger
Bridesmaid
Elly and Delaney shared a home for all 3.5 years at GCU, Elly never missed an opportunity to introduce Delaney and their friends to her signature Midwestern cooking, always making sure no one went hungry. During their famously competitive Catan game nights, Elly kept the peace—though, of course, any escalations were "never" Delaney’s fault.
Jackson Vanzee
Groomsman
Jackson’s unwavering support and positive attitude made him a reliable and valued friend. One of the most memorable experiences they shared was competing together in the GCU intramural golf scramble. They were able to put together a score of 65, ultimately securing them a well-earned victory. Jackson's blend of competitive drive and steadfast encouragement has played a significant role in shaping their friendship.
Gracie Vandermark
Bridesmaid
Gracie and Delaney first met in elementary school, but their friendship was put on hold when Delaney transferred schools. Thankfully, fate brought them back together in high school, where their bond grew even stronger. During the challenges of COVID, Gracie was Delaney’s shining light, always offering support and laughter. One of Delaney’s favorite memories is making TikToks together for their English final—a moment that perfectly captured their fun-loving friendship.
Zac Rathbone-Zabot

As co-captains of the Grand Canyon University club golf team, they quickly formed a strong bond, united by their love for the sport and leadership responsibilities. No matter the circumstances, Zac always brings a positive mindset and fun-loving energy to any situation. One of the most unforgettable moments was the two of them celebrating on the 18th green after the club golf team clinched the national championship. It was a testament to their hard work and team bond.
Anna Daly

Delaney and Anna started working at Fidelity around the same time last year, and despite the short time they've known each other, Anna has become Delaney’s rock at work.
