Matron of Honor
Sister of the Bride and recent Montana native. Or failed Yellowstone on HBO extra as we like to call her. It's normally her world and we're living in it, but she has graciously agreed to give us one day. Amongst the many qualities of former college washed up athletes, she also still feels like she has some acro left in the tank, so give her some space when her songs start playing.
Best Man
Twin of the Groom and first one out the womb. King of the "meltdown hole" in golf and Queen of the college friend group. Mitch also went by a name other than Dylan in college, and it was mom. Known for his ability to get stains out of clothes and how to get athletes foot off your toes, he did it all. Husband of the only bridesmaid not allowed to wear heals 'cause she'd be taller than him, and only person in the world who knows what I am thinking 3 minutes before I am thinking it. Mitchell was always voted "best to bring home to parents," but I think Bob and Michelle prefer me.
Bridesmaid
A cousin of the Bride and a cheese enthusiast. She's a ball of energy and although she tends to be the life of the party, she enjoys going to bed before the sun goes to bed. Maddie was there at the pool the night Dylan and I met witnessing the sparks fly. The only thing she loves more than dairy is a good game night and her cat Moo Titty. Fellas, she's single and ready to mingle and there is truly no one quite like her!
Groomsman
The earth rotates because of how much the Bellotti family moves around, and the ring leader is Sean. The only groomsman with a personal vendetta against a lazy Sunday, and I'm sure it's all a part of his conquest for the elusive 8th ab. Yes, in addition to being the only friend who I text with everyday, Sean is the only person on the planet with a 7-pack. Catch him alongside alongside Nicki Tetherow and witness not only the most dominate pickle ball doubles team in attendance but also the coolest combination of names. Olive Juice
Bridesmaid
Dylan is the Brides go to gal when it comes to doing dumb things behind a boat. From doubling surfing, to surfing sharing one large lifejacket, you name it we've done it. Only resulting in minor injuries and one scar on the bottom of her chin which I take full responsibility for. Dylan is also quite the bartender, so if you ever need a drink just let her know!
Groomsman
My former high school quarterback and your former Oregon quarterback, Taylor now currently known as the husband to Rachel and those two are proudly the co-offensive coordinators to sweet Roma Lou. Taylor also harbors the ability to be better than you at whatever you can think of. The first person assigned the honorary title of "Triplet" from my mom, and the first person to leave if someone jumps in the pool. No he's not a groomsman 'cause his dad signs my checks. He's a groomsman 'cause he told me to put my hand down the first day of basketball practice in 1st grade when his dad asked who thought they were faster than ball movement.
Bridesmaid
The Bride's other 'other half', Paige is married to the guy that looks just like the groom. A little Joanna Gains in the making, this little homemaker will cook you up a 4 course meal and then challenge you in any sort of competition. Not only is she competitive, she also saves lives. That't right, a real ER Nurse with all the qualifications to give you an IV if you've had too much fun. Everyone can enjoy the night safely knowing that Paige will be there to tend to any and all medical needs.
Groomsman
The honorary younger brother of the twins, Ry is a man of few words in public but will be sure to roast you in the group message. This late bloomer grew to his new found height after college and is still growing into it. Still nursing the sprained wrist and damaged ego from last summers "Lewis" wedding Ry will do his best to stay off the floor until liquid courage gets him on the dance floor. Also the only child I've witnessed throw a crackback block on his little brother in a Thanksgiving day football game. He only knows one speed and tonight, it will probably be fast.
Bridesmaid
The Bride's bonus older sister. The Cross girls would have play dates at the Clark house often which consisted of hours playing Barbie Adventure, our first lesson on how to download music on Limewire, and endless games of Pretty Pretty Princess. You can always count on Danielle to que up the Mamma Mia soundtrack, and if you ever need someone to hold your hand, she's your gal.
Groomsman
Washed up college athlete, and current eligible bachelor. Not sure what's harder to do, beat him at golf, or convince him the just because he is a DMD, doesn't mean its appropriate to come to the aid people who have fallen in a bar and say "everything's ok, I'm a doctor." Unless said person has chipped a tooth, we will agree to disagree. Champion of numerous outfield karaoke battles and dance offs, he will most likely be the second wind of the party.
Bridesman
The brides best friend from High School and the biggest jokester around. Brayden is a man of many talents but the fan favorite is his ability to say any word backwards. Although is not the best dancer, he will not hesitate for a second to show you all his new moves on the dance floor but sorry ladies, he's taken.
Groomswoman
It's 2022 people, there is such thing as a groomswoman. While contributing many great things to my life since including her relationship with Ellie and Paige, the best may just be her husband Brandon. The professional athlete son Bryon always wanted, and the missing piece to our golf outings. Unfortunately his baseball skills have not transferred to the golf course, but this is not a Brandon intro it's an Ashley intro. This mother to little Alex will most likely take the night off. Unfortunately what night she thought she had off will be spent babysitting Ryan and Matt instead of Alex. If you have a headache tomorrow, give everyone's favorite pharmacist a call.
Bridesmaid
The Grooms sister and mother to the newest and smallest member of the family. Amanda is a wine loving, outdoor exploring gal, but whatever you do, do not get on her bad side. Although she's tiny, she is mighty. Growing up being the older sister of two twin boys she had to learn quickly how to hold her own. She defiantly whipped them into shape early because I think they're still scared of her to this day.
Groomsman
The youngest of the Cross siblings and arguably the favorite child. Ethan is a Wisconsin Badger and an all around ladies man. His back is still probably sore from carrying Mitch and I in Call of Duty Warzone. Probably better than you at sports, and probably more popular than you think you are on Facebook, and has come along way from being the most feared "growler" on isle 5.
Bridesmaid
More commonly known as Nicki....Nicki is engaged to Sean which basically makes her family. Although she was our friend first, my mom has adopted her as her own best friend because she's simply just that great! A teacher on the weekdays and a hoot and a half on the weekends, Nicki will not hesitate to make the dance floor her own. But unlike most humans she actually looks coordinated while doing it. Honestly, I can't think of anything thing she's not good at, so if you can find a flaw let me know.
Groomsman
An OSU Beaver and former president of his fraternity, James is Mr. Fix-it. From I "want to turn this into a poker table," to "why won't my sprinkler system work?" James is on my speed dial. Voted most likely to be a millionaire living in a jerry rigged solar powered restored light house by me just now, James will most likely finish off tonight watching a movie at 2am on the couch after making sure everyone gets home safely.
Bridesmaid
The other cousin of the bride and younger sister of Madison. Mckenna was born and raised in Eugene but shes a city girl at heart. This eligible bachelorette is living the influencer dream in Scottsdale AZ. She has one of the most fashionable closets out of anyone I know and her style started at a young age with Bermuda shorts, polos and Juicy sweatsuits on special occasions. Mckenna can be quiet and mysterious, but get to know her and she'll instantly be your best friend.
Groomsman
1st team all Softfence, Erick, or Dougie as we all call him, has what he would describe as the best style amongst the groomsman. We first met on a cold October day in 2011 when his Clackamas Cavaliers came to town to play our Sheldon Irish. Unfortunately for Dougie, he lost. Fortunately for Dougie, the busses had been on since half-time and were plenty warm for his long drive home after going down 50-0. From high school opponents to college teammates, he has earned his own room at my house after using it as a hotel the last few years as he sells operating rooms or something like that. Ellie even refers to it as "Dougie's room"
Bridesmaid
They say good things come to those who wait. Well, drumroll please...introducing Reilly Wadsworth ladies & gentleman. Did it take a while, yes, but not for lack of thought. Considering Reilly's involvement was never an "if" she was involved, it was a "how" she would be involved. Could she be a photographer? Yes. Could she be a Videographer? Yes. Could she have been the Officiant? Yes. Did Dylan say "if you don't I will" when I said I want her as a bridesmaid? Yes. Prompting me to lock her up quickly. Although we grew up together we didn't actually speak to each other until college. Dear friend of the bride, and the grooms favorite person to sit with in the corner of a party with and make fun of everyone else. We truly cannot wait for her to be a part of it all!
Groomsman
Dave! No idea why we call him Dave but we do. KJ, as he is more often referred to as, is responsible indirectly for all of my college touchdowns just due to the fact that I made an easier target to go after rather the the NCAA All American playing the opposite side corner. KJ got his chance professionally playing in front of tens of people internationally before calling it quits and becoming a third grade teacher. There's now more kids in his class than there was fans in Germany. If you can't find him tonight, look for my mom, he's probably dancing with her.
Groomsman
A man of great sympathy, Skylor approached me after a significant knee injury to start off the first defensive drive of our senior campaign with, "Can I wear your helmet next week since you can't." Today marks the full circle as I was blessed to be able to marry him and his lovely wife Riley, he stands up with me on Ellie and I's special day. The only man I know to basically run out of his own hamstrings after clocking 4.4 speed being over 200lbs. In his own words would have been a 5 star recruit if it weren't for his tiny hands. Well you can be a 5 star groomsman how about that Sky.
