Wedding Party
Allison Jurcak
Matron of Honor
Allie is technically Mackenzie's older sister but stereotypically the younger sister. She's the best karaoke singer, personal chef, and mom of three boys (Carter, Wyatt, and Logan who are the ring bearers) around! Quote that describes her: "Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring." - Marilyn Monroe
Joe Rochon
Best Man
Dan's older brother, buddies since the beginning. Great beard. Always has good scotch on hand. Best man says it all. His daughters, Quinn and Sloane, are flower girls!
Kailee Hooper
Matron of Honor
Mackenzie and Kailee have been friends since they started dancing together at 3 years old. From home videos, to school dances, to graduation, and now a wedding, she has been there through it all. (Her daughter, Audrey, will be there too as a flower girl!) Quote that describes her: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead
Marc Blitz
Groomsman
Dan met Marc over ten years ago while coaching football at Henry Ford II High School. Master of the 3-4 defense. Fantasy football commissioner (he lost to wife Amanda in the championship this year). Currently third in the blitz power rankings to Amanda and Apollo the dog.
Erin Bovan
Matron of Honor
Mackenzie met Erin in college and she has been a member of the Bailey/Walz family ever since. She is the go to friend for country concerts, spontaneous trips, and all things Michigan football. Quote that describes her: "A home isn't always the house we live in. It's also the people we choose to surround ourselves with." - T.J. Klune
Chris Gerbino
Groomsman
Dan's brother-in-law, married to Megan. Only eats tomatoes in an altered form and only eats apples in their true form. You've never seen him and Tony Stark in the same room.
Whitney Schnurr
Bridesmaid
Mackenzie and Whitney met through the Michigan in Washington program in college. She's the best partner for spontaneous trips to Target, binging reality tv, or going to a Taylor Swift concert. Quote that describes her: "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou
Steve Jurcak
Groomsman
Dan met Steve in high school. He's Jim, the groom is Bones. Enough said. His three boys -- Carter, Wyatt, and Logan -- are the ring bearers!
Lily Adelstein
Bridesmaid
Mackenzie and Lily met through the Michigan in Washington program in college. Her curiosity and intellectualism make her fun, kind, and the best voice of reason. Quote that describes her: "Be curious, not judgmental." - Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Dan Parker
Groomsman
Met in Junior High, had barbecue sauce on chicken one time at the groom's parent's house. Junior High football, High School bowling. Dan's favorite Boston Marathon runner and tied for the first in the groom's all-time favorite Dans power rankings.
Jenn Kwon
Bridesmaid
Mackenzie and Jenn met through the Michigan in Washington program in college and were roommates in Virginia. From ice skating to puzzles to painting, Jenn always knows how to live in the moment and try new adventures. Quote that describes her: "Do one thing every day that scares you." - Eleanor Roosevelt
Adam Sawyer
Groomsman
Also met in junior high. Saw MSU pull off Little Giants together. If Badgers and Wolverines are both in the weasel family, I think we're technically related (nothin’ but love for UW football, Jenny!)
Megan Rochon Gerbino
Bridesmaid
Megan is Dan's older sister, a cat mom, lover of all things books and Disney, and a Swiftie. No matter how big or small the moment, she will always be there to support and capture it. Quote that describes her: ""Be happy in the moment, that's enough. Each moment is all we need, not more." - Mother Teresa
Ben Halliwill
Groomsman
Buddies since Utica High School. The notorious ‘Cash to the Commissioner' of our annual College Football Pick 'Em pool. Come to think of it, you seem to take my money in March too. Pass the Rich & Rare and root beer.
Heather Rochon
Bridesmaid
Heather is Dan's younger sister and the funniest of the Rochon siblings. If you need a book or tv show recommendation, delicious baked goods, or the best dog toy, she's your person. Quote that describes her: "No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind." - Taylor Swift F^3 -DR
Brant Gigliotti
Groomsman
Fellow Oakland University alum and OU Rec Center employee. Also has a great beard. Old enough to remember the dinosaurs AND when the Golden Grizzlies beat Kentucky in the NCAA Tournament. Knows how to spell O’Connors. Watch out for the jet skis this summer.
Maeve Rochon
Bridesmaid
Maeve is Dan's sister-in-law. As a third-grade teacher and mother of two little girls, she knows how to get things done! Her daughters, Quinn and Sloane, are the flower girls! Quote that describes her: "Find out who you are and do it on purpose." - Dolly Parton
