Wedding Party
Cait
Co-Maid of Honor
Cait and Nikki met on Valentine's Day (truly meant to be) in 2019. They are co-workers turned best friends thanks to their trauma bonding in the service industry. They're pretty sure Edward has accepted that he will forever be their third-wheel. If these two ever go missing, call all local Mexican restaurants and ask for the girls who won't stop ordering margs and queso.
Sain (Cito)
Best Man
If we say Godbrother, does that make sense? Neighbors turned brothers turned best friends, Edward and Cito have spent years living together in and around the Milwaukee area. He is the perfect golf partner, a lucky charm gambler, and a surprisingly great piano player. If you see these two at a dive bar, order them a round of Coors.
Sarah
Co-Maid of Honor
Sarah and Nikki met on a Disney roommate finder Facebook page and became best friends while living together and working for the Mouse. They’re both constantly hoping for the other to move to them so they can be done with the whole long distance best friend status. If these two ever go missing, track their credit card transactions around Epcot to locate them.
Julian
Groomsman
Julian and Edward have their father’s childhood friendship to thank for theirs. When these two get together, the conversations are filled with laughter and a lot of “buddy boys.” If you run into them at a dive bar, order them a round of Spotted Cows.
Mara
Bridesmaid
Mara and Nikki met in Dowling residence hall on 3 South at St. Thomas. They may not have shared a room freshmen year but if you knew them you would’ve been convinced otherwise. Roommates through all of college, these two were inseparable. If these two ever go missing, they can be found playing bingo at Sweet Peas (RIP).
Sam
Groomsman
Sam and Edward are fraternity brothers, turned coworkers, turned roommates where Sam earned the title of Murph’s second dad - they'll tell you about 731 W Peck St if you ask. If you run into them at a dive bar, order them a round of keto friendly seltzers.
Ashley
Bridesmaid
Ashley and Nikki met at MAJK dance studio when they were just little tots. While Nikki can usually be found in the crowd or auditorium cheering Ashley on, these two are going on 20+ years of being each other’s biggest hype woman! If these two ever go missing, they can be found singing (one better than the other) along to whatever musical is in town.
Joe
Groomsman
Joe and Edward met suffering through their major at Whitewater. If you spend more than 5 minutes talking to these two, you’d think they’re from northern WI (Joe’s an IL boy but we forgive him for it). If you run into them at a dive bar, order them a round of Irish car bombs.
Zoe
Bridesmaid
Zoe and Nikki grew up two blocks apart. Zoe is the reason Nikki worked at Disney (and honestly the source of most of Nikki's pop culture fandoms). These two had countless sleepovers filled with Twilight, celebrity crushes and breakfast food. If these two ever go missing, they can be found in the pit for a TØP show or getting hit on by D-list celebrities (IYKYK).
Alec
Groomsman
Alec and Edward are fraternity brothers, Whitewater rugby teammates, and Second Salem coworkers. These two may be conversing in deep American history, alien life, or exceptional dad jokes. If you run into them at a dive bar, have your dark humor ready and order a round of Schlitz and Hamms.
Nadia
Bridesmaid
Nadia and Nikki met in middle school and therefore have gone through every phase of hair, makeup and "fashion" choices together. The embodiment of a ride or die friend, these two have leaned on one another for just about everything over the years. If these two ever go missing, they can be found in a fit of hysterics over absolutely nothing.
Stephen
Groomsman
Stephen and Edward bonded over their lack of intelligence in basic math classes during their freshman year at Whitewater. Countless pizzas and wings were consumed at Uno's before they could even order a beer. If you run into them at a dive bar, ask them why you should order them a round of Voodoo Ranger IPAs.
Annie
Bridesmaid
Annie and Nikki met working together at Disney. Quickly becoming best bugs (you read that right), these two spent most of their working (and free time) together on countless adventures throughout the parks. If these two ever go missing, they can be found reciting ‘It’s Tough to be a Bug!’ or attempting to ride every lame ride at Disney (read Astro Orbiter).
Javi
Groomsman
Javi is the “kid” of the Dixon/Loya clan. He was the little brother that Edward never had. If you haven't noticed, he isn't so little any more. You won’t run into these two in a dive bar, instead bring them some protein shakes, 7lbs of lean chicken, and hit the makeshift pull up bar.
George
Groomsman
George and Edward are the Irish twins of the family. Being just over 11 months apart, these two had their fair share of knocking heads growing up. Now? Not even in the slightest. If you find these two at a dive bar, order them a round of bloody's (or just ask Edward to make them).
Henry
Groomsman
Edward’s oldest brother, and the reason why Edward could play ping pong professionally. Henry is the oldest, boldest, and maybe...still the strongest? If you run into them at a dive bar, order whiskey and water.
