Wedding Party
Alec
Officiant and Groomsman
Jared and Alec’s friendship runs deep, going all the way back to childhood days spent running around their church. Over the years, their bond has only grown—through ministry, life transitions, and even living in different parts of Arizona, they’ve always found their way back into each other’s lives. Alec has been a constant source of encouragement, wisdom, and genuine friendship. That’s why it means so much to Jared to have him not only as a groomsman, but also as the officiant for the ceremony. Having someone who’s walked alongside him for so many years lead this moment makes it all the more special.
Maddi
Matron of Honor
Maddi has been a pillar in Megan’s life—embodying strength, unwavering support, and unconditional love. She’s the kind of person who shows up before you even know you need her, offering a listening ear, a steady hand, and a heart full of care. Their bond has been forged through years of shared memories, challenges, celebrations, and sisterhood. As a matron of honor, Maddi brings not only organization and calm to the chaos but also an unmatched emotional grounding. She is truly one of the strongest and most compassionate souls Megan has ever known, and there’s no one more fitting to stand beside her on this day.
Cody
Best Man
The best brother a guy could ask for. Jared and Cody have always had a blast growing up together—whether it was playing video games, spending time at the lake, or just being goofballs. Cody has always been dependable, steady, and the one to make Jared laugh, even from the earliest memories. Over the years, their relationship has grown from brothers into close friends. From making silly videos to hosting board game nights, the time they share now is something Jared truly values. Cody’s humor, loyalty, and heart make him not only the best man for the job, but the best brother anyone could hope for.
Donna
Maid of Honor
Donna is more than a friend—she’s chosen family, a fellow adventurer, and confidante. From spontaneous trips across the globe, to soul-nourishing conversations, she and Megan have traveled both literal and emotional miles together. Her energy is magnetic, her loyalty unshakable, and her heart incredibly generous. What began as a friendship has blossomed into a bond that feels like it was always meant to be. Donna brings out the free spirit in Megan, and her presence is a reminder that life is best lived with someone who embraces the wild unknown right alongside you.
Ryan
Groomsman
Ryan, Megan's brother, has been a steady and easy presence in Jared’s life from the very beginning. From day one, he’s been chill, composed, and welcoming. Over time, Jared has come to truly appreciate Ryan’s sharp wit, dry humor, and quietly hilarious sarcasm. While he may come off as reserved at first, anyone lucky enough to know Ryan quickly sees his depth—he’s thoughtful, intelligent, and deeply loyal to those he cares about. What Jared admires most about Ryan is his ability to balance humility and humor—he never needs the spotlight, but when he speaks, you want to listen (or laugh). As Jared joins the family, it means a lot to have someone like Ryan to share that journey with. Having him as a groomsman is more than just symbolic—it’s a true honor to stand beside someone so genuine and grounded.
Katie
Bridesmaid
Katie holds a very special place in Megan’s heart—she was her first best friend and practically family from the start. Megan spent almost every day at Katie's house growing up, they celebrated holidays together, laughed together, cried together, and their connection grew deeper than friendship- some would call them "hetero-life partners". Katie was there for the formative moments: the growing pains, the milestones, and all the in-betweens. There’s a kind of love that doesn’t need words because it's rooted in years of knowing each other’s hearts—and that’s what Megan and Katie share. Their bond is unshakeable, timeless, and will always feel like home.
John
Groomsman
John is a longtime friend and a steady, dependable presence in Jared’s life. Known for his gym obsession and constant supply of snacks—chocolate milk, beef jerky, protein bars—you can count on John to be prepared for anything. But beyond that, he’s the guy who shows up, listens well, and offers wisdom without judgment. Jared values his loyalty and friendship deeply, and it means a lot to have John as part of the wedding day.
McKenna
Bridesmaid
McKenna is a soul sister in every way. Fierce, independent, and full of fire, she and Megan found each other through their shared path as social workers—but their connection runs so much deeper than their profession. They understand one another on a level that defies explanation, and their bond is built on mutual respect, shared values, and a belief in lifting each other up. McKenna brings strength, passion, and a sense of deep understanding to every room she enters. She reminds Megan of the power of being an unapologetic, strong woman—and having another one by your side makes all the difference.
Jimmy
Groomsman
Jimmy is one of those rare friends who brings both truth and grace. He doesn’t say much just to say it—but when he does, it counts. Over the years, he’s been someone Jared can rely on for honest perspective, thoughtful advice, and unwavering loyalty. He’s the kind of friend who sticks by your side through it all, and Jared is so thankful for the brotherhood they’ve built. Having Jimmy stand with him on this day is something that holds real meaning.
Marisa
Bridesmaid
Marisa is sunshine in human form. Her laughter is contagious, her smile lights up the darkest days, and her heart is as big as they come. She has this beautiful way of bringing joy and levity wherever she goes, while also offering fierce loyalty and emotional strength when it matters most. Her presence in Megan’s life has brought balance—showing how strength and silliness can coexist in the most meaningful way. She is a source of laughter, love, and pure joy, and every memory made with Marisa is one to be cherished.
Blaine
Groomsman
Blaine is truly one of a kind—the kind of friend who brings light, laughter, and heart into every room. He has a natural ability to make people feel seen and cared for, and his positive energy is genuinely uplifting. Whether he’s offering encouragement, cracking a joke, or just being present, Blaine has been a consistent source of joy in Jared’s life. Jared is honored to have him by his side as a groomsman and even more thankful for his friendship.
Beth
Bridesmaid
Beth is the kind of friend who just gets it—the quirks, the chaos, and the unspoken thoughts. From the moment they met, it was an instant “Did we just become best friends? …Yep!” And they’ve been stuck with each other ever since (willingly, of course). Beth and Megan share a humor that’s often borderline ridiculous and always hilarious. But behind the laughter is a deep, genuine connection built on trust, vulnerability, and an unbreakable sense of loyalty. She's not just a best friend—she’s a life teammate, and someone who makes every moment brighter (and weirder, in the best way).
