Malia & Aaron
Wedding Party
Aaron Osban
Groom
Born in the year of 1992 in McMinnville, OR. Lover of video games, pizza, and re-watching The Office. Hobbies include complaining about ripped jeans and angrily getting caught in Portland traffic. He likes dogs more than people.
Malia Porter
Bride
Born in the year of 1995 in Eugene, OR. Lover of cats, storytelling, and breakfast burritos. Hobbies include being sarcastic and inserting pop culture references into a conversation as much as possible. She will like you 15% better if you're wearing a peacoat.
Dylan Ramsey
Best Man
Dylan is one of Aaron's oldest friends, and almost cried on his pizza upon hearing that he would be best man. They first became friends at a church camp before their sophomore year of high school and stayed friends up through graduation and early adulthood. Dylan is very much the life of the party -- exuberant, easygoing, and hilarious. Interests include fidget spinners, Rum & Cokes, and Super Smash Bros. In 2011, Aaron and Dylan were in a home economics class together. No one is entirely sure what happened there, but per Dylan, no one will understand the connection they built together in that classroom, and per Aaron, it was one of the best classes of his life.
Jessie Reynaga
Man of Honor
Jessie has known Malia since the 7th grade. Both will argue over who bullied who during middle school, but by the time they got to their high school Ceramics class, they were best friends. The only real fight Malia and Jessie have been in is when Malia said Seinfeld sucked, leading to 1.5 months of not speaking to one another. Interests include Cowboy Beebop, cats, and Long Island Iced Tea. In 2017 at a University of Oregon sorority brunch event, he was adopted by the Porter sisters and is now called "Tall Sister." Amongst the groomsmen, he is called "Wheat Thin."
Tracy Senters
Groomsman
Tracy was first introduced to Malia as Aaron's best friend. She joked about taking over that spot, to which Aaron told her -- not asked -- that she was his girlfriend, not his best friend. So, in a way, Tracy won that first round for Best Friend. Fair enough, considering he's been friends with Aaron since junior year of high school after meeting at Best Man Dylan's pool. While being a great friend, Tracy is also a talented musician with an enjoyable, dry humor. Interests include playing guitar, Dungeons & Dragons, and giving people the "Jim Halpert" stare. In 2012, Tracy tried being vegan... It didn't go well.
Kayla Porter
Bridesmaid
Kayla is the second-oldest of the Porter sisters and often described as "the scary one." One of the earliest memories Malia has is Kayla tackling her to the ground. She is incredibly driven, hardworking, caring, and is one of the few people Malia has always trusted to be there when she needs them. Interests include visiting Disney World, singing songs written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, and laser tag. In 2008, she wanted to marry Nick Jonas from The Jonas Brothers. She has not commented on his recent marriage to actress Priyanka Chopra.
Michael Wadsworth
Groomsman
Aaron has known Michael since 2011. Michael has been an incredibly reliable person to have by his side, so much so that the two almost moved in together. While that didn't eventually end up working out, Michael has always made sure to be there for Aaron. Michael is very hardworking, patient, and bright. Interests include vaping, grilling, and playing MOBAs (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena). In 2019, he became known as "Grill Daddy." Feel free to discuss the difference between propane and charcoal if you see him.
Jada Porter
Bridesmaid
When 5-year old Malia found out she was getting another sibling, she hoped and dreamed for a brother named "Brian." Instead, Jada arrived as the third and youngest Porter sister. She is brave, creative, compassionate, and resilient enough to survive having Malia and Kayla picking on her for 18 years. Interests include Taco Bell, sleeping, and Cardi B. In 2019, she claimed Aaron had red hair. If/when you see her, please feel free to debate this and let her know it's dirty blonde.
Sev & Aian Osban
Ringbearers
Aaron's two youngest nephews. Sev and Aian are a playful and energetic duo. Sev is definitely the more outgoing of the two, but once Aian opens up, you'll find out he has an amazing sense of humor. Sev's interests include dogs, Star Wars, and choose-your-own-adventure books. Aian is a Star Wars fan as well and also enjoys Magic 8 Balls, playing guitar, and mobile video games.
Elle Smith
Flower Girl
Elle is Aaron's only niece. He helped babysit her quite a bit while living with his mom, and both of them share a male tortoise named Alice, although Alice is currently located in Gresham with Aaron. Elle likes My Little Pony, Polly Pocket, and drawing/coloring. More often than not, she has a picture she made for Malia and Aaron every time they visit.
Isaac Porter
Usher
The youngest of Malia's cousins. Isaac is the comedian of the family and incredibly outgoing. He enjoys Naruto, forcing people to play Bean-boozled, and taking selfies with his dog. Though people will claim Malia dropped Isaac a couple of times as an infant... There is no actual footage. The two remain close despite the controversy.
Roman Cook
Usher
Malia first met Roman in her favorite place in Portland -- Powell's City of Books. It was an instant-win, regardless, as the son of her favorite salt-mate, co-worker, and friend, Brittney. Roman is very passionate, intelligent, and social. He enjoys fireworks and chickens, but hates Iron-Man and (pretends to hate) taking selfies.
