Wedding Party
Mallory Dyckman
Maid of Honor
Mallory is the bride's younger sister and someone she considers her greatest gift in life. Though their bond didn’t form overnight, everything changed as they became older—somewhere between shared laughs and car singalongs, they became not just sisters, but best friends. Mallory is compassionate, spirited, and always the first to lift the mood in any room. She works as a veterinary technician, dedicating her days to caring for animals with the same kindness she shows to everyone around her. Whether they’re on a road trip or just spending time together, Mallory and Megan share a connection that runs deeper than words. There’s no one else she would trust more to stand by her side on this special day
Alek Arellano
Best Man
While Ryan and Alek first crossed paths in high school, their real friendship didn’t begin until college—proof that some of the best connections come with time. What started as a college bond quickly turned into a lasting friendship, solidified when they moved into their first apartment together—a true bachelor pad filled with late-night laughs and shared memories. Alek has been part of Ryan and Megan's relationship from the very beginning, and his steady presence has been a constant through it all. In the years since, he’s married his amazing wife, Bailee, and recently stepped into his greatest role yet: becoming a father to a beautiful baby girl. Though he may come off a bit stoic at first, Alek has a kind heart, a quick wit, and a quietly strong sense of humor.
Kendra Houck
Bridesmaid
Kendra and the bride met in 2021 and quickly became close friends, bonding over long summer days by the pool and countless shared laughs. Her warm, steady presence and easy sense of humor turn everyday moments into lasting memories. Kendra is the kind of friend who shows up, lifts you up, and makes everything better just by being there. She’s married to Adam Houck, one of Ryan’s groomsmen and close friends—and they just tied the knot themselves on June 28th, 2025. Kendra and Adam also played a key role in introducing the bride and groom in 2022. Ryan likes to say they met because of Adam; Megan insists it was thanks to Kendra (and she’s probably right). However it happened, there’s no question that this love story wouldn’t be what it is today without her—and there’s no one more fitting to be by the bride’s side.
Adam Houck
Groomsman
Depending on who you ask, Adam is either the reason the bride and groom met—or just the supporting act to his wife, Kendra (Ryan gives Adam full credit). Regardless, Adam has been one of Ryan’s closest friends since high school, where they first bonded over baseball and a shared sense of humor. Since then, they’ve grown from teenagers into men with careers, marriages, and responsibilities—but somehow, they still manage to bring out a little bit of the teenage version of each other whenever they’re together. Adam is the kind of guy who makes everyone feel at home. He has a natural way of bringing people into the conversation, keeping things light, and making sure no one ever feels like a stranger. He’s known for his sharp sense of style, quick wit, and ability to turn even the most ordinary hangout into a great time. Loyal, thoughtful, and always up for a laugh, Adam is the kind of friend everyone hopes to have—and Ryan is lucky to count him as one of his oldest and best.
Dave Kasper
Officiant
Dave Kasper, Ryan’s father, is the man who shaped Ryan into the thoughtful, strong, and hardworking man he is today. Beyond being an incredible dad, Dave has been a welcoming and loving presence to Megan .Over the years, Dave and his wife, Cathy, have warmly welcomed her into their family with open arms and open hearts. —especially for their cherished Friday night dinners filled with laughter, warmth, and togetherness. With 40 years of marriage as of December 27th, 2025, Dave and Cathy serve as an inspiring example of partnership and commitment. Their unwavering dedication to each other and their family is a foundation that Ryan and Megan admire and hope to emulate in their own marriage. Having Dave officiate their wedding is more than fitting—it’s a profound honor. His presence symbolizes the blending of families, the strength of lifelong love, and the start of a new chapter built on the same values and love he has shown throughout his life.
Avery Reisdorf
Flower Girl
Avery, Ryan’s niece, is their one and only flower girl—and a true joy to have in their lives. There’s so much to say about Avery—she is incredibly funny, wonderfully strong-willed, and full of personality. Megan feels truly blessed to become her aunt and watch her grow. Avery’s kindness shines through in everything she does, and she’s always up to something fun or mischievous. She’s remarkably smart—just like her mom—and has a special gift for making everyone feel included, much like her dad. They can’t wait to see her light up the wedding day as she walks down the aisle with grace, confidence, and that unforgettable spirit.
