Best Woman
She's been Ian's rock for the last 6 years and she has now embraced Michelle into her fold as well. Ian promised if he ever remarried that Stephanie would be by her side. A very obvious choice. And she adds some much needed muscle to the wedding party in case things go awry.
Matron of Honor
As the wonderful Sister-in-law to Ian and future Sister-in-law to Michelle, she originally offered to tackle the role of coordinator and helping with many ideas regarding the dj, venue and reception. Her role expanded as she graciously offered to be by Michelle's side as her Maid of Honor on the wedding day.
Groomsman
Brody has been a valued member of the family for over 20 years. He has graciously volunteered to escort the grandmothers down the aisle during the procession and then stand by his dad as he says his vows. He will also be the designated driver after the party
Bridesmaid / Jr Maid of Honor
Beloved daughter of Michelle has graciously offered to help her mom with all of the bridal duties leading up to the wedding day. She's already jumped in helping with dress selection and music ideas for the DJ. When she's not planning a wedding, she is getting sophomore year of high school done.
Groomsman
Ryan is Michelle's handsome son and happy to join the party as a groomsman and escort for the bride down the aisle, then helping Ian with the duties on wedding day. Ryan's been busy working at McDonalds and finishing up school for his senior year and looking forward to college.
Bridesmaid
Beloved daughter of Ian she has graciously offered to escort her grandfather to his seat in the processional and then stand by Michelle as she offers her vows during the ceremony. Since Brody goes too fast, Maggie will be the designated driver for the wedding.
Mother of the Groom
Bonnie had the privilege of raising 2 boys (including Ian) and shaping the minds of thousands more as a teacher. Plus she was always surrogate mom for any number of revolving friends that needed a bowl of cereal. Now she's moved onto her role of grandma to three wonderful grandkids. She's looking forward to the wedding and can't wait to add Michelle to the family.
Mother of the Bride
Judy is the wonderful and beloved mother to Michelle, who was Judy's first and probably best kid. Being the matriarch of a family with five children and many grandchildren (and a great grandchild), she is ready to welcome a few more into the fold.
Father of the Groom
Dave or Gramps is now spending his days enjoying retired life after 35 years of teaching and coaching sports. Nowadays he's busy chopping wood for the fire or out on the boat if the weather permits. He is looking forward to a glorious wedding in the mountains and welcoming Michelle into the family.
Officiant
Needed a volunteer....he said yes. I think he talks good and stuff. Can't do much worse.
Best Doggo
"Dozer" will fill whatever vacancies we have on Wedding day. From ring bearer to checking on the caterer, we can depend on him for everything. He'll also eat all the leftover salmon.
