Kerry & Derek
Wedding Party
ACE
Best Man
Derek's son, "ACE"! He is one of the best men and also ring security (the ring bearer). He is a confident, sweet, loving boy who can make friends with anyone and is very brave. ACE is a great student and super smart in Math. He is a creative boy who can make anything fun. He loves to dance and sing along to his favorite songs. Kerry is so excited to become his official stepmom and loves being his and his dad’s “Ker-Bear”.
Dustin
Best Man
Derek's brother Dustin, who is even taller than he is (!). He is a supportive brother and uncle. One of ACE's favorite things he is excited about with the wedding is that he has to try to "Keep Uncle Dustin in line." Dustin is the dad of the two flower girls.
Allison
Matron of Honor
Kerry's sister, Allisondra! Allison has won many dance-offs, so watch out on that dance floor for her! Allison is a fun-loving, kind-hearted sister who Kerry is also blessed to call a best friend. She is the new mama of baby "M", who will go down the aisle with Drew!
Kathleen
Bridesmaid
Kathleen is one of Kerry's closest friends. Whether they are dancing in Barcelona or Bloomington, or negotiating Pokemon deals between their son & stepson, they always have a fun time together. Kerry is grateful to have Kathleen as one of her very best friends! Their friendship is treasured.
Theresa
Mother of the Bride
Theresa is the mother of the bride, Kerry. Theresa loves to dance and will help to get the party started! She is a strong person, both physically and mentally and a great role model for Kerry. She is an amazingly supportive mom to Kerry and has been so welcoming of Derek and ACE as additions to the family.
Gregg
Father of the Bride
Gregg is Kerry's dad. He is a hard worker and a loving family man. No matter what his kids pursue, he always supports them in any way he can. While Kerry was living in Barcelona, for example, he listened to Catalan radio. He has always played worldly and unique music, which has helped Kerry to grow up appreciating travel and other cultures. It is one of his talents to find "hidden gem" places, such as Beaver Island, where Kerry's family often has gone for vacation. He has also been very welcoming to Derek and to his new step-grandson ACE.
Neal
Usher
Neal is Kerry's brother. He is known to bust quite a move on the dance floor! He has always been great at being in the moment/ being present. When him and Allison visited Kerry at IU on Halloweens (the first visit in which people assumed Neal was in college even though he was just 14!), Kerry got to introduce him to the wild world of Bloomington, where he and Allison ended up going to school too! Kerry is grateful to have him as a best friend too. He is the new dad of baby "H", who he will escort down the aisle.
Drew
Usher
Drew is Kerry's brother in law. Ever since he reunited with Allison in their early 20s, he has become an integral part of the family. He is a great listener and conversationalist. Since Kerry lived in California for part of the time that he and Allison did, they were able to have many great adventures there, such as Oktoberfest and the Wild and Scenic Film Festival. Kerry, Derek and ACE are excited to have many more adventures with Allison, Drew and Maverick and the family now that they live back in the Midwest! Drew will be escorting his baby son "M" down the aisle.
Donna
Mother of the Groom
Donna is the mom of Derek. She is a supportive mom and loving grandma. She has a quick wit and fun sense of humor, which helps her keep up with her three spunky grandkids. She has been so welcoming to Kerry as her future daughter in law.
Dan
Father of the Groom
Dan is Derek's dad. He has instilled a strong work ethic in Derek and a deep appreciation for racing. He is a great storyteller and good at finding common ground with people in conversation. Kerry is excited to have him as a father in law.
Maddie
Honor Attendant
Maddie is Kerry's sister-in-law. She will read one of the passages Kerry and Derek chose for their ceremony. She is Neal's wife and supportive of Neal's free spirit, and at making both of their dreams come true. Maddie is the mom of baby "H" who Neal will walk down the aisle.
