Wedding Party
Allison Crasi
Maid of Honor
Allison became Julia's best friend in fourth grade through a "Mother Daughter Book Club". In Middle School they were attached at the hip, and in high school their friendship grew along with their shared obsession over Justin Bieber. Since then they have continued to be each other's closest friend and confidant, despite living hundreds of miles apart for the last 8 years! Julia is more than excited that Allison is moving back home. She's looking forward to finally having her best friend back and only 5 minutes down the road.
David Donley
Best Man
David is Ryan's younger brother and close friend. Though most know Dave for his quiet demeanor, those that get to know him, get to see his unique and hilarious sense of humor. Dave is best known for his multitude of spot on impressions, dancing the jig, being the ultimate prepper, and always finishing the projects Ryan starts but fails to finish. Dave is "Mr. Fix It" and has definitely helped Julia fix her car a time or two. If it weren't for Dave, the front end of her last car would have fallen off.
Sara Lowis
Bridesmaid
Sara is Julia's longest friend of 24 years. Their relationship started on Maywood Road in South Euclid, Ohio. Their parents became inseparable when they moved across the street from each other and began their families. Before long, their kids became inseparable too; friends that have become family. Growing up and experiencing life and milestones together has created an unbreakable bond between Julia and Sara, a lifelong best friend.
Ethan Donley
Best Man
Ethan is Ryan's youngest brother, but also close friend. Although Ethan may be the youngest Donley brother, he is often times credited with keeping his older brothers on task with their many business ventures. He's also the most sentimental and the most realistic of the Donley boys. When Ryan wants to spend, Ethan keeps him in line. Ethan was in 8th grade when Julia met him and she loves that she's gotten to be apart of so much of his life. She truly sees him as another one of her younger brothers.
Meghan Lowis
Bridesmaid
Meghan is bound to put a smile on the face of anyone she comes into contact with. Her witty humor and goofy personality makes her the life of any party. On top of that, Meghan is Sara's little sister, and therefore became the built in little sister that Julia never had. Despite being the pesky little sister, as they grew up, Meghan became more than just that. She also became one of Julia's best friends.
Gunnar Meyer
Groomsman
Gunnar is Julia's younger brother and the one who knows how to push Julia out of her comfort zone in an attempt to help her grow, as was experienced on their Scandinavian adventure together. Growing up, Gunnar knew exactly how to push Julia's buttons, but he also knew how to have her (and her family) rolling on the floor laughing too. To Julia's dismay, since 'everyone knows Gunnar', Ryan likes to claim that he knew of Gunnar before he ever knew who Julia was (despite Gunnar being 3 years younger and Julia and Ryan being in the same grade).
Rachel Brandon
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Julia became friends in third grade when they had Mr. Clapper as their teacher. After third grade, they didn't talk much until high school when they became inseparable. Rachel never failed to put a smile on Julia's face with her positive and fun loving personality. Rachel always has a way of pulling Julia out of her shell! **Fun fact: Rachel is the one who set Ryan and Julia up. If it weren't for Rachel, Ryan and Julia may not have ever crossed.**
Nathan Meyer
Groomsman
Nathan is Julia's younger and most tender-hearted brother. Julia likes to claim that one of Nathan's hugs can make her problems go away. One of Julia's favorite memories of Nathan is when she walked down the stairs after getting ready for homecoming one year. He watched her, eyes wide open wide, and he exclaimed, "You look absolutely beautiful!" Nathan has always been the most protective brother, making sure Ryan treated her right. Nathan and Ryan also have a special relationship as Nathan often will turn to Ryan for advice. Since Nathan was 12 when he first met Ryan, he also grew up with Ryan as an older brother figure.
Marissa Henderson
Bridesmaid
Marissa was Julia's neighbor growing up in Aurora. When Julia moved in next door at the age of 7, they were fast friends. Marissa's fun spirit has provided endless laughs and entertainment over the years. You could find the two playing games, building fairy houses, and making up dances to their favorite songs, as well as coercing their younger siblings into joining them.
Andrew Meyer
Groomsman
Andrew is Julia's youngest brother most reliable brother, as he is always willing to help no matter what. Drew was Julia's real life baby doll when he was born, and despite being years apart in age, it has never impacted how close of a relationship they have. Drew has taught Julia how to see the good in people and give them the benefit of the doubt. Ryan has been a part of Drew's life since he was 10 years old, and has had the privilege of watching Drew grow up over the years. Because of this, Ryan sees Andrew as one of his younger brothers as well.
Emily Liefson
Bridesmaid
Emily will hopefully be Ryan and Julia's future sister-in-law. She is David's girlfriend of over six years. Before Emily began dating David, she was friends with Julia’s younger brother Gunnar. Over the years, Julia and Emily have bonded over their mutual love for Justin Bieber and what it entails to be in a relationship with a Donley brother.
Trent Piccirillo
Groomsman
Trent is Ryan's cousin and has remained one of Ryan's closest friends throughout the years. Being just under two months apart, the two were raised like brothers. Trent easily matches Ryan's sense of humor and likes to call Ryan "Mayo" because of how pasty white Trent claims his skin to be. It also helps that Ryan puts mayo on anything he can. If anyone knows Ryan, he's infamous for the nicknames he gives people, so Trent decided to dish it right back with the most fitting of names for Ryan.
Meg Brink
Bridesmaid
Meg came into Julia's life when she rented out one of the Donley's rental properties. One night, when Ryan stopped by to pick up Meg and Mike's rent check, he got to talking with Meg. After talking with her for a while, he felt as though Julia and Meg should meet. Ryan and Meg planned a double date for the couples. Meg came into Julia's life when she needed her the most, and the two became fast friends.
Scott O’Malley
Groomsman
Scott has been Ryan's best friend since high school. Ryan and Scott have a mutual love for all things mechanical, especially Mustangs. The two have the same sense of humor and way of talking to each other, that not many would understand. At the beginning of Julia and Ryan's relationship, Ryan would joke that the two were in a constant competition for Ryan's attention. Julia is glad to say, she finally won that competition.
