Best Man
~The Groom's Brother~ Although Blake and Fred grew up in the same house, they are the most polar opposite people you'll ever meet. They love to bond by making fun of their sister for being more fun than the both of them combined. A typical night with them involves Fred building something while Brittany and Fred laugh at Blake helping. (he really does try his best)
Matron of Honor
~The Groom's Sister in Law~ Brittany and Riley were friends before they even knew it. When Riley was in 8th grade, she had a bloody nose from hell at Brittany's house. When Fred and Riley began dating, Brittany already knew Riley as the girl with the bloody nose (not a great start). Brittany and Riley always have a great time together, and since Brittany now lives next door, Riley loves to walk her butt down to hang out with the girls.
Groomsman
~The Bride's Brother~ Nate and Fred love to gang up on Riley, it's really the foundation of their relationship. Nate is a man of many hobbies such as karate, D&D, and spraying sunscreen in such a way that he burns a select half of his body.
Maid of Honor
~The Groom's Sister~ While the groom's sister, Colleen loves Riley a lot more than Fred. Colleen and Riley are constantly being bad eggs at family get togethers. They are each other's partner in crime always. "I will not go to the wedding if Fred is there." - Colleen Traver, Circa 2023

~The Groom's Friend~ Fred and Ricky met through mutual friends, sharing interests in hunting and fishing. This lead to Fred being Ricky's on-call handyman. Ricky’s lifelong dream is to be a farmer with Fred.
Bridesmaid
~The Bride's Friend~ Heather and Riley worked at Maumee Bay together in high school for their first jobs. After a storm hit and Heather helped Riley clean the pool while she was wearing socks, Riley knew that was lifelong friend material. Their favorite activity is shopping together and convincing each other that yes, they do need that.
Groomsman

Groomsman
~The Groom's Friend~ Mike and Fred met in school and became friends over their enjoyment of farming. Mike and Fred love to cause chaos together and double date any chance they get. Might just be an excuse to go on dates with each other. Fun Fact: Mike has been lit on fire before!
Bridesmaid
~The Bride's Friend~ Mallory and Riley were first forced on double dates with our weird fiancés. After the first double date, Riley knew that any girl that could put up with their guys, was a friend to her. They share a love of wine, specifically a minimum of 3 bottles from Chateau Tebeau in Gibsonburg.
Groomsman
~The Groom's Cousin~ Sam and Fred were not always close until they both found a passion for golf, the two of them spent many of days practicing and playing golf through their high school and college years. We hope Sam doesn't fake his death for the Traver wedding like Fred did for his.

~The Groom's Friend~ Kurt and Fred met on a snowmobile trip to the UP, on this trip they became good friends. Kurt is always there when Fred needs a hand working on equipment or doing anything around the farm. Kurt is Fred and Riley's honorary child, and loves Riley's home cooked meals from McDonalds after farming with Fred.
Usher
~The Groom's Friend~ Damien and Fred started hunting together and became friends through Ricky. After hunting a few times together they knew that they had a lot in common and this lead to a great friendship. Damien loves Fred maybe more than Riley, but without his flow of long hair he doesn't stand a chance.
Ring Bearer
~Ricky's son, The Groom's "Nephew"~ Waylon loves to pretend to hate his Uncle Fred and Auntie Riley, but we know deep down he loves us. Waylon's hopes and dreams are to farm with his Uncle (he does not know this yet).
Flower Girls
~The Groom's Nieces~ The most loved girls in the world. Sadie Ann is a funny, free spirited, bubble loving girl. She had our hearts the moment she was born. Miss Juliette is to make her appearance in September, and the Bride and Groom love her so much already!
Bird Assassin
The first born son of the Groom and Bride. Will not be in attendance due to being a menace to society.
