If there is snow fall anywhere, he's the first to know and on his way to pick you up to go snowboarding. Daniel and Austin lived together after college and he is one of the best roommates a guy can have. Pro tip, never bet against Daniel... you will always lose since he's the luckiest man ever. He also has the greatest hair ever but DO NOT touch.

Rachel Laske

Bridesmaid

Rachel is Austin's best sister. She is the sweetest and funniest girl you will ever meet. Rachel was one of the first people Austin introduced to Erin and Erin is so happy to have her as a sister. She has some of the best dance moves around so watch out for her and call the fire department!

Adam Kempton

Adam is Rachel's fiance. He rivals Austin's nerdiness and his love of Pokemon. He is a funny guy that is always down for a good time! Also, he is known as the guru of Ebay so if you need to make some money ask him!

Tyler Laske

Groomsman

The youngest of the Laske clan is Lord Tyler. Tyler might be the smartest and funniest of the family. Whenever he comes home from college he spends his summer hanging out with us non stop and kicks our butts at MarioKart. We are very lucky he has made a guest appearance here!

Taylor Byrd

Bridesmaid

Taylor is Lord Tyler's lady. She is the most laid back person we have ever met and is so much fun to be around. We became close with her over the years and are thankful to have her in our lives. She brings the southern charm to our family and wedding.

Calla Lloyd

Bridesmaid

Calla has been Erin's step sister since 2008. She is the best little sister Erin could ask for. They became best friends who watched Harry Potter marathons endlessly. Erin would force Calla to drive around to listen to pop punk music at full volume and shop at target and world market. She would also make Calla help her paint, rearrange, and redecorate every room, including installing wood floors in Calla's room. Calla even put up with Erin when she was grounded from her hammock and had to go to the neighbor hood park to go on the swings rain or shine. Through every terrible day in high school through hour long face times states away from each other Calla has always been there for Erin.

Brennen Meland

Groomsman

Brennen and Austin recently celebrated 20 years of friendship. They met in Kindergarden and have been inseparable ever since. They have lived together on and off for 8 years. Brennen helped Austin keep his sanity during Covid. His love of music and animals is unmatched. He startles easy so no sudden moves around him!

Kelsi Rios

Bridesmaid

Kelsi and Austin met in Jr high. She is a caring person that has always always been there for him. Her and Mandy were always one of the boys. Austin and his friend's would ride their bikes all the way to her house in 100 degree weather just to eat her famous pancakes! She welcomed Erin with open arms and has taken care of all of our many animals! She said she would name her first child after Austin so make sure to ask her about that!

AJ Rios

Groomsman

Austin met AJ when he started dating Kelsi. AJ always makes you laugh and has plans for the entire group! His love of animals also meets Austin's. They have been dubbed the Dad Dogs of Phoenix because of all their animals. His one of the most supportive men Austin has ever met. He is colorblind so don't quiz him on colors he hates that!

Abigail Arrington

Bridesmaid

Erin and Abi met junior year at Des Moines Christian when Erin begged Abi not to go to homecoming with her ex-boyfriend. After figuring out it was a rumor, Abi and Erin became best friends. They spent weekends at Erin's family lake house doing chores for hours and sneaking drinks from the liquor cabinet. From being terrible roommates to living states away from each other Erin and Abi still held on to their friendship, and they have several matching tattoos to prove it.

Zach Schneider

Groomsman

Zach is Erin's cousin and best friend, well not always. Once Erin got a car she became the cool cousin who would pick him up from school and drive him around. Zach isn't always easy to track down so Erin set up mandatory Game of Thrones watch nights to keep him in check. Zach and Erin have been from hell and back together and they wouldn't be who they are today without each other.

Mandy Worthy

Bridesmaid

Mandy has been one of Austin's best friends since elementary school. Austin and her spent most of their time together walking home in 110 degree weather... slowly.... she walks very slow.... She welcomed Erin to the friend group with open arms and Erin appreciates her very much. Remind her that Austin taught her dog how to shake!

Gavin Dale

Groomsman

Gavin has been one of Austin's best friend's since elementary school. They were inseperable throughout school (even had the exact same haircuts together). They have been together through thick and thin and have always been there for each other. Also, he paints his own game pieces (so cool)!

Andrew Zenoni

Groomsman

Austin has known Andrew his entire life (because they are cousins). They spent many MANY years playing Runescape together and ruling the world. He is smart, funny, and one cool cat. Erin and Austin's first wedding together was his and Laura's, which inspired a forest wedding. He's one of three triplets so good luck finding him!

Shannon McDermott

Bridesmaid

Shannon is Erin's sister from another mister and they shared a back yard in Iowa. They've been friends for 23 years and have only gotten closer. Erin spent every day at Shannon's house annoying the hell out of her for 5 years until the McDermotts moved out to Arizona. Erin came out here for spring breaks and vacations with a one way ticket because they didn't plan on sending Erin back home. Eventually Shannon convinced Erin to move out to Arizona, and if that hadn't happened she never would've met Austin.

Mackenzie McDermott

Bridesmaid

Mackenzie is Erin's God Sister and when Erin moved out to Arizona Erin drove Kenzie everywhere and they became even more like sisters. They went on major shopping sprees and took yoga classes every day. Not unlike Calla, Erin took Kenzie on long car rides and introduced her to emo music to blow off. steam after a long day of school. When Erin matched with Austin on Bumble Kenzie forced Erin out of her shell and told her to go on the first date.

Aiden Schneider

Officiant
