Their friendship is full of laughs, and Hunter is excited to have him standing by his side.

Doug Laub
Late Father of the Bride
Although Doug cannot be with Ashley on her wedding day, he will be honored in many ways throughout the ceremony and reception. Every girl dreams of her dad walking her down the aisle, and while it breaks her heart that he won’t be there, she knows he has the best seat in the house. Doug was a hardworking, loving father, and his spirit and guidance continue to be cherished and honored every day.
Jeremiah Arellano
Officiant
Jeremiah (aka “The Father”) quickly became one of our closest friends alongside his wife Cass and their kids, Dev and Dany. From Copper trips to family events, they’ve become like family to us. What started as a joke one night about him marrying us turned real when he got ordained on the spot—and he’s proudly owned the title ever since!
