Wedding Party
Daniel Wilson
Best Man
Daniel isn’t just the groom’s older brother—he’s his lifelong tormentor, mentor, and self-declared voice of reason. Suffering from a chronic case of Old Brother Syndrome, he’s outspoken, always right (just ask him), and an expert at making the bride laugh until she cries… or worse. He’s also the proud dad of the world’s cutest flower girls, aka David’s only nieces. By day, he navigates corporate nonsense, but his true passions? Fully embracing Dippin’ Dots like the groom and being a fellow Onion Boy.
Samantha Huff
Maid of Honor
Samantha is an event planner by trade, which means she’s been mentally organizing this wedding since the engagement. She’s here to keep the bride stress-free, the drinks flowing, and the dad jokes rolling—whether you like it or not. Likely to be found making an itinerary for the afterparty or giving an unsolicited pep talk in the bathroom, she’s a retired wedding planner and professional overthinker. Not only is she the bride’s former college neighbor—a friendship that’s been going strong ever since—but she’s basically a co-owner of this marriage. Nice girl, kind of a menace.
Hunter Simpson
Groomsman
Hunter and the groom have been neighbors since elementary school, through high school, and have kept the friendship going strong ever since. Known affectionately as the “nerd” (thanks, David), Hunter holds a PhD in mushrooms—yes, really—and spends his free time snowshoeing, backpacking, and exploring the great outdoors. As for drinks, we’re still not sure if he’s more into wine or beer, but one thing’s for sure: he’ll know more about both than David could ever hope to. Whether it’s hiking a mountain or discussing the best brew, Hunter’s always ready for an adventure!
Ashley Maciag
Bridesmaid
Ashley is the life of the party… until she needs an emergency vape break. As the bride’s former college roomie she’s spent years perfecting the art of moral support, strategic exits, and knowing exactly when to hand over a drink. She won’t eat dinner with you, but she will be available for dramatic bathroom conversations and deep, soul-searching walks to her car. Single for so long she’s basically been reborn—so priests, take notes. Nice girl, kind of an asshole, but most importantly, the ultimate hype woman for the bride
Dominique Link-Kelley
Groomsman
Dom and the groom became fast friends through the bride’s high school bestie, and their bond has only grown stronger. A gamer at heart, Dom is the go-to guy for anything tech-related—whether it’s fixing gadgets or troubleshooting software, he’s your man. Known for his sweet nature and “Mr. Fix-It” attitude, he’s always ready to lend a hand. When he’s not working in the IT world, you can find him spending time with his beloved cat and dog. With Dom, it’s all about good company, good tech, and a big heart.
Geri Link-Kelley
Bridesperson
Geri is Marley’s longest-running bestie, which means they’ve been there through everything—the highs, the lows, and the questionable fashion choices. Easily the sweetest human alive, Geri radiates kindness, peace, and the type of energy that makes you want to take up yoga and be a better person. They’re the voice of reason, the calming presence, and the one most likely to remind you to breathe. Just don’t offer them gluten or dairy unless you’re aiming for a medical emergency. Lover of animals, mankind, and the bride—Geri is here to bring the good vibes and keep us all zen.
Max Bukovec
Bridesman
Max is the bride’s twin, which means he’s been stuck with her since birth—no refunds, no exchanges. He got married last year, so now he’s here to provide unsolicited marriage advice while surviving exclusively on chicken tenders. A die-hard Yankees fan, Max can rattle off baseball stats with the accuracy of a human encyclopedia, yet no one can confidently explain what he does for work. Probably found avoiding the dance floor, debating sports trivia, or wondering why weddings don’t have a ‘chicken tenders only’ menu option. Nice guy, kind of a mystery.
Christine Thorn
Groomswoman
Christine, the high school best friend of the groom, is as loving as she is sassy— And while she would have rather been anywhere else at sunrise, she still begrudgingly joined David on morning runs—mostly because he refused to take no for an answer. Always lighting up every room she enters, she's a devoted mommy to the cutest little boy Thomas and has a passion for travel. Whether she’s off on a spontaneous road trip in her trusty Subaru blaring T. Swift or enjoying quality time with her dogs, cats, and amazing wife Sondra, Christine brings warmth, humor, and a spirited edge to every adventure.
Slavic Yakushenko
Groomsman
Slavic is the quiet enigma of the group—some say he’s just reserved, others (David) insist he’s a Russian spy. A high school best friend of the groom and his complete opposite, Slavic is a man of few words but plenty of surprises. He works in the family business, stays true to his faith, and while he won’t be raising a glass, he’ll definitely be keeping an eye on the chaos. Just don’t expect him to narrate his gaming victories—he lets his skills do the talking.
Elliana and Amelia Wilson
Flower Girl
These two delightful flower girls, Amelia and Elliana, are the groom’s cherished nieces, adding an extra layer of family love to our celebration. With their dad proudly standing as the best man, they bring playful giggles and a trail of petals along the aisle, reminding us that every step of this day is filled with joy and a touch of magic.
Paxton Gill
Ring Bearer
Meet Paxton, our charming ring bearer who, under the loving care of the bride—his dedicated nanny—is known for his mischievous grin and a not-so-secret love for cake. With twinkling eyes and a cheeky smile, he’s sure to steal not only the rings down the aisle but also a little piece of your heart (and maybe the cake too!).
