Wedding Party
Carolann Haley
Mother of the Bride
The best neighbor and mom anyone could ever ask for. She's always there to loan a cup of sugar or even run to the grocery store with you at the crack of dawn. Raising Kira wasn't an easy feat but she made it look that way!
Hal Haley
Father of the Bride
When Max asked Hal permission to marry his daughter, he of course said yes (phew!) and then asked if Max wanted some advice. His advice was to never let her get tired or hungry.
Vivian Lee Stein
Mother of the Groom
My Mother Vivian is a hero of mine. As a single Mom, she always represented a high standard of character and work ethic to her children, and loved us all through good times and bad. By my measure she was, and is, the absolute best.
Jim McArthur
Father of the Groom & Best Man
My Father, and Best Man, what more can I say? Known to most as 'Jimmy Mac', Dad truly is one of a kind. Alongside our family we have shared a lifetime of warm memories, wonderful holidays, world travels, Big Games, good times, and love.
Elaine Dick
Maid of Honor
Friends since we were pop warner cheerleaders many moons ago. Living a whole country apart doesn't stop the phone calls in the wee hours of the morning and the many girls trips throughout the year. When Elaine comes to town, Max says it is like having two Kiras to put up with!
Michael McArthur
Groomsman
The oldest of four McArthur boys, my brother Mike was the absolute 80's alpha male, at least until I got big enough to choke him out. All joking aside, he has always led from the front in school, business, and life, and I respect him greatly for that. Likewise, he has always been a incredible brother, father, and husband.
Caitlyn Poppert
Bridesmaid
Friends long before our doggies became friends, Caitlyn is the mom to Pickles, who happens to be both Bailey's best friend and Benny's girlfirend. Find Caitlyn with Max and Kira at dog beach managing the pup madness on the weekends.
Patrick McArthur
Groomsman
My second oldest brother Pat, AKA 'Treece', has always been the peacemaker in our family. His level head and cool demeanor can calm even the hottest of McArthur family fires, and I hope to someday have the patience and dedication that he does as a father and husband. He's 'Touchdown Treecey Vardell', and he's high-stepping his way into your heart.
Steffanie Badgett
Bridesmaid
Although she is not team-dog, Steff and Kira bonded over a affinity for gin based cocktails and a late sunday morning brunch. She's the rock of our girls group.
Peter McArthur
Groomsman
My younger brother Peter and I shared a room together growing up, and that is a bond which can never be broken. Those who know, know. That said, 'Petey Mac' has traveled the world as a teacher and coach, serving as a positive role model and mentor to countless adults, children, and families around the globe.
Lauren Winter
Bridesmaid
Lauren (Mom to Nola Bean and Baby Rae) is part of the dog crew too. She gave Kira and Max a beautiful little neice this year too! She's always up for an activity and life wouldn't be the same without having Lauren and Rae around.
Marc Werschkul
Groomsman
Marc Werschkul is my oldest and dearest friend. We met in pre-school, we have the same birthday, and even our Moms are best friends. 'Wersch' and his mother Linda are family, and always have been, plain and simple.
Justine Hunter
Bridesmaid
Kira hired Justine circa 2010 to work the front desk, both were SDSU students at the time. Justine no-called, no-showed too many times so she didn't work for her for long but she has proved herself as a good friend, confidant and travel buddy for many, many years after and many to come.
