Wedding Party

Katie Rivera

Bride

Katie is the bride, and anyone who knows her knows she brings love, laughter, and personality wherever she goes. She’s caring, sarcastic, stubborn in the best way, and deeply devoted to the people she loves. She can guilt trip Charlie into just about anything, and her famous phrase “I’m fine” has become an immediate warning sign. Charlie wouldn’t trade life with her for anything.

Charles Keller

Groom

Charlie is the groom and the calm to Katie’s chaos… most of the time. He’s hardworking, funny, endlessly sarcastic, and always ready with either a joke or a random fact no one asked for. Whether he’s working on cars, planning D&D campaigns, or making Katie laugh, he makes life more fun every single day.

Fred 'Popsi' Keller

Officiant

Popsi is Charlie’s grandpa, lifelong storyteller, and officially the person everyone will be nervously handing a microphone to on wedding day, which feels both meaningful and slightly dangerous. He and Charlie’s grandma, Mimi (Judy), have shared 58 years of marriage together, setting an incredible example of love, commitment, patience, and humor. Honestly, after successfully putting up with Popsi for nearly six decades, Mimi deserves some recognition too. With Popsi’s unforgettable personality and ability to make everyone laugh, there’s truly no one better to officiate this wedding… hopefully.

Adam Schooley

Honored Uncle

Adam, along with Katie’s aunt, Char, has been an important part of Katie’s life for many years. After losing her father at a young age, Adam became more than an uncle — he became a supportive and caring presence she could always look up to, while Char was always there with love and support alongside him. Having Adam walk her down the aisle is one of the most meaningful parts of the day for Katie.

Melisa Gilmore

Mother of the Bride

Melisa, yes — just like Gilmore Girls — is the mother of the bride. Growing up, it was often just the two of them figuring life out together, which created a bond and understanding that only they could share. Through all of life’s ups and downs, Katie has always carried pieces of her mom with her, and she’s grateful to have her here for such an important day.

Ernest 'Jerry' John Rivera

Father of the Bride

Ernest “Jerry” John Rivera was Katie’s father. Although Katie lost him when she was only five years old, she knows how deeply he loved his family and how hard he tried to keep everyone together for Katie and her sisters, Aryanna and Nova. Over the years, she’s heard countless stories about his humor and the joy he brought to the people around him. While she doesn’t remember much herself, his love and presence have always remained part of her story.

Dawn Keller

Mother of the Groom

Dawn is the mother of the groom, professional problem solver, and unofficial manager of everyone’s lives. She’s sarcastic, hardworking, fiercely loyal, and never afraid to tell people what they need to hear. Charlie inherited plenty from her — especially the sarcasm and stubbornness — and honestly, everyone else just has to deal with it.

Eric Keller

Father of the Groom

Eric is the father of the groom, and Charlie has looked like his mini clone since day one. Somewhere along the way, Katie and Eric realized they were basically the same person, bonding over sign language, cooking, gym routines, and teaming up against Charlie and Dawn whenever possible.

Cheyenne Horton

Maid of Honor

Chey and Katie have been best friends since freshman year of high school, which means Chey has seen every phase, every bad decision, every inside joke, and every dramatic story along the way. Through it all, she’s been one of Katie’s biggest supporters and favorite people.

Ashton Colley

Best Man

Charlie met Ashton in 6th grade at Outdoor Lab, and somehow Ashton has put up with him ever since. From school days to working together at Costco and spending way too many hours planning D&D campaigns, their friendship has been built on chaos, laughter, and great memories.

Andrea Keller

Bridesmaid

Andi is Charlie’s sister and one of the sweetest people in their lives. Katie has learned sign language to communicate with her, and through the years the two have built a close relationship that means so much to both of them.

Benjamin Keller

Groomsman

Ben is Charlie’s younger brother and one of the most driven people you’ll ever meet. When he’s not managing a sales team or talking about his next big plan, he’s usually making everyone laugh. Growing up together gave the two of them plenty of memories, stories, and sibling chaos over the years.

Kaileena Schooley

Bridesmaid

Being cousins was just the beginning for Kaileena and Katie — growing up together made them best friends for life. Between childhood memories, inside jokes, and years of always being there for each other, their bond means everything to Katie.

Colin Dorscheid

Groomsman

After meeting through Katie, Charlie and Colin bonded quickly over D&D, cars, and spending time together. Collin’s humor, confidence, and outgoing personality have made him a great friend and an important part of their lives.

Avery Behm

Bridesmaid

Avery is the kind of friend who always shows up, always cares deeply, and always has something to say. Her energy, loyalty, and ability to turn any moment into a conversation are just a few of the reasons Katie loves her so much.

Gabe Jacobson

Groomsman

Charlie met Gabe while they worked together at Nissan, and somewhere along the way they bonded over D&D, gaming, and fully embracing their inner nerds. Between campaigns, laughs, and endless conversations, their friendship has survived both work shifts and chaotic dice rolls.

Noelle 'Magnolia' Fancher

Bridesmaid

Noelle, better known as Magnolia, met Katie in high school through the automotive program, and their friendship took off from there. From working on cars to sharing laughs and life stories, Magnolia has been a loyal and unforgettable friend through the years.

Josh Andreessen

Groomsman

Charlie met Josh at Brakes Plus, where somewhere between work shifts and nonstop jokes, a great friendship was formed. After recently surviving wedding duties together with Charlie as one of Josh’s groomsmen, Josh now gets to return the favor.

Emily Andreessen

Bridesmaid

Emily came into Katie’s life through Josh, but it didn’t take long for the two to become great friends. In fact, Emily was one of the very first people Katie asked to be a bridesmaid, even before the engagement. After celebrating Emily and Josh’s wedding in Tennessee and making memories together in Nashville, Katie couldn’t imagine this day without her.
