Marissa & Dylan
Wedding Party
Alicia Harder
Bridesmaid
Marissa’s younger sister, Alicia, is living proof that sibling rivalry can turn into a lifelong bond. While they fought like cats and dogs as kids (because only Marissa could tease her, naturally), Alicia has become an irreplaceable part of Marissa’s life. She’s the best Auntie to Emily and Olivia, always ready to step in with love and support. Together, Marissa and Alicia share a love for dumb comedies like Dumb & Dumber and Wayne’s World. Party on, Garth!
Sean Warkentin
Groomsman
Dylan’s oldest friend, Sean, has been by his side since they were five years old. From childhood adventures to teenage mischief, Sean has always been Dylan’s steady, go-with-the-flow partner in crime. Growing up in a small rural Manitoban town, they had to make their own fun—and they did so in spades. Through thick and thin, Sean has remained a loyal, lifelong friend.
Kaitlyn (Pinky) Koop
Bridesmaid
Kaitlyn is Marissa’s platonic soulmate and best friend since Grade 10. They met in science class and bonded over a mutual crush on a boy who didn’t even go to their school. From bike rides soundtracked by Queen’s “Bicycle” to splitting Olive Garden salads (tomatoes for Kaitlyn, onions for Marissa), they’ve perfected the art of friendship. Kaitlyn brings girly vibes, concert adventures, and a knack for hot gossip—and she’ll always be Marissa’s ride-or-die.
Kyle Dupuis
Groomsman
Kyle joined Dylan’s friend group, “The Boys,” a few years later and brought his signature wild antics with him. Known for his unforgettable drunken escapades, Kyle is the life of the party. But beneath the hilarity is a loyal friend who’s always there when you need him.
Victoria Koop
Bridesmaid
Victoria entered Marissa’s life just when she needed her most, and their friendship has been a lifesaver ever since. Sharing the joys and chaos of raising young kids, Victoria is the supportive friend who always has Marissa’s back. Whether it’s drinking coffee or coordinating playdates for their kids, time with Victoria feels like catching up with someone you’ve known forever.
Alex Gravito
Groomsman
Alex is the work friend Dylan brought home one day—and he’s never left. The two bonded over shared interests like video games, anime, and their mutual love of Niakwa Pizza’s Manager Special. But it’s Marissa’s banana chocolate chip muffins that keep Alex coming back to Steinbach. Loyal and quirky, Alex brings a unique flavor to the group—much like those muffins.
Heather Gravito
Bridesmaid
Heather came into Marissa’s life unexpectedly when Dylan brought her over one day as “the girlfriend of a guy from work.” What started as an evening of polite entertaining turned into a beautiful friendship. Heather’s fun-loving, supportive spirit makes her a wonderful friend and an honorary Auntie to the girls. Marissa and Heather bond over coffee, shopping sprees, and pedicures—always with plenty of laughs along the way.
Nick Freund
Groomsman
Another key member of “The Boys,” Nick grew up just down the street from Dylan. With a knack for wild antics and a heart of gold, Nick has been a constant in Dylan’s life. Whether it’s sharing laughs or lending a hand, Nick is the kind of friend everyone wishes they had.
