Wedding Party
Audrina Swanson
Maid of Honor
Melissa met Audrina through the groom, who happens to be her uncle. There's loyal- and then there's Audrina. She's not just the Maid of Honor, she's the ride-or-die, the therapist, and the hype squad, all rolled into one. Whether Melissa and Audrina had a night out on the town, ordering Thai food and playing the dinosaur game, or talking through heavy topics, Audrina has always been there for Melissa through every chapter, good, hard, hilarious and chaotic. Melissa can't image this day without her by her side. She's more than a best friend; she's family.
Chase Lindenthal
Best Man
Chase has been a lifelong friend of the groom for over 20 years. Proving that friendships can survive anything, even wildly different political opinions. Not only has Chase been a best friend but also a family friend who has always been a part of the family holiday get togethers. Let's just say some thanksgiving debates get...spirited. Chase and Michael have spent countless hours together playing guitar and listening to music. Michael is honored to have Chase stand up as his best man.

Mackenzie Wise
Bridesmaid
Mackenzie and Melissa met at Beaumont Hospital. Known for her quick thinking, huge heart, and ability to fix any emergency with medical tape and sarcasm. As soon as Melissa met Mackenzie she knew she was an old soul and could relate to her on many life experiences.
