Sibling of Honor
Raven is Ashley's younger sibling. They are opposite in more ways than not but having each other's back is one thing they'll always have in common. They grew up fighting a normal amount, trying to figure out what life is, and somehow managed to become best friends as adults - how lucky is that?! P.S. Raven is the cool one.
Bridesmaid
Ashley is Ashley's high school bestie (confusing, I know - last names only in high school!). It's been more than 15 years of sarcasm, ice cream date nights, volleyball, Facebook wall messages, and navigating some really weird and confusing times in life. Living in Belgium now, Ashley Mikaio never misses an opportunity to let her friends know how loved they are.
Bridesmaid
Amy is Ashley's adventure buddy for life, getting her into semi-frightening, insanely beautiful and hilarious situations regularly. Amy missed Ashley and Ryan when they moved to Denver so much, she followed them! Okay, not exactly how it happened, but we'll go with that. The three are an inseparable trio when together (plus Jess!).
Bridesmaid
Reema is Ashley's other high school bestie who's stuck by her side more than 15 years through morning school rides, moldy bagels, volleyball, and navigating adult life. Reema has recently made Ashley a very proud Auntie of beautiful baby Bennett and patiently answers all the medical questions thrown at her, related to women's reproductive health or not.
Bridesmaid
Alicia is Ashley's ever supporting and encouraging rock here in Vegas. Many fun nights out and deep chats have filled their years of friendship. Ashley had the honor of officiating Alicia's wedding in 2025 and is excited to have Alicia be part of her wedding now. You may find Alicia writing a paper for her master's in counseling then immediately being the life of the party, because somehow she can always do all the things.
Best Man
Mike is Ryan’s older brother and ride or die since day one. They have experienced many different chapters of life together from their military childhood in Germany, to living in separate corners of the globe all to end up back together in Las Vegas. Along the way, they have always stuck by each other’s side and stockpiled up more inside jokes than anyone listening could ever understand. These days you can catch them at the golf course asking about the course record just to be cracking a beer by hole 3.
Groomsman
Maino is one of Ryan’s close friends and college roommates. He is as genuine a person as you can meet and while he appears to be a responsible software engineer, he and Ryan have always taken a mutual enjoyment in recording ridiculous rap songs, creating goofy vine videos, and he may just be the original creator of the Dougie dance. We expect to see some move or two on the dance floor in October!
Groomsman
Mio is a one of a kind friend and Ryan’s college roommate, who just may be the true Most Interesting Man in the World. He is typically fueling a new passion and whether it’s brewing his own beer (us roommates at the Stoop definitely enjoyed this period!), growing giant contest pumpkins, or stealing the show at a football tailgate with a remote controlled rocket launch, he has always been a creative and fun inspiration to our friend group over the years.
Groomsman
Doug is another dear friend and college roommate of Ryan’s, and they share a beautiful tradition every year of wondering if the New York Giants will ever be good again. As a matter of fact they have always shared lots of hobbies between guitars, fitness, golf, and 1am quesadillas in the toaster over before playing Super Smash Bros. Doug is as wholesome as they come, and if The Hangover has taught us anything, it’s that we can’t leave Doug on the roof if the bachelor party is in Vegas.
Groomsman
Alex is Ryan’s friend and bandmate from their days of performing with Brady and the Bunch in college. They have shared countless live shows, late night jam sessions and practices, runs to the bodega, kickbacks - point is, if Alex is there you know it’s going to be chill. Today, Alex and Ryan still share that same musical passion that sparked their friendship and look forward to many jams still to come.
