Ryan & Brandie
Wedding Party
Ryan McDonald
Groom
Ryan... the guy...the one... Ryan is that type of guy that wakes up every morning with the best attitude. I love hearing him sing his way through the house. He is my ray of sunshine. He brightens any dark day. When I’m having a struggling time, he’s always right there, to pick me up to say “You got this”. He makes everything better in my life. Everyday he goes out of his way to make me laugh, to tell me a funny story, do an impersonation or tell me a joke. I love the way Ryan looks at things...at film, at art...at life...his perspective is always fascinating. I love how he tells a disjointed narrative that always makes perfect sense. When he tells a story it’s never in chronological order. Non-Linear storytelling is his influence, it’s his life. I love this about him.
Brandie Rich
Bride
What I Love About Brandie….. What I love about Brandie is the way she laughs, and how she finds humor in even the littlest things. A movie that I once thought was dull suddenly has new meaning. Her laugh gives it new life and makes it your new favorite because it was hers too. I hate how the first dinner plate she grabs is never for her, but I love how she’s always thinking of the family and putting us first. I love how she inspires you to win. I love how strangers compliment the way I look at her. I love that I remember the first time I met her, and all the days I saw her before the day we ever met. I love that we were friends first. And I love that I never knew what impact she would have on my life. And I love the surprise that has come since.
Justin Whitten
Best Man
Life only hands you few friends that you'll have for a lifetime. Justin is one of them. Originally met in 2001 through some, mutual friends at the time. Friends for nearly 20 years now, they’ve survived the "Great War," of their 20's, they've traveled to Mexico, LA, Paris, and Ireland. Hell, they even have the same birthday. Whether they're in their home town of Ogden, grabbing a Guinness in the local pub of Ireland, a margarita next to the sandy beaches of Mexico, or a historic location on Hollywood blvd, they'll find the local "Winchester," where there is fun to be had, memories to be made, stories traded, and probably more obscenities than the locals are used to.
Demi Doney
Maid of Honor
The Bride’s best friend, sidekick and partner in crime for all things fun. 11 years ago, the bride knew she met someone special. Demi has an energy that immediately draws you in, she has a vibrant light about her that catches anyone's attention. She's funny and enthusiastic about life and is always up for new experiences...like trying an eel sushi roll for the first time or having a cocktail in the shower while on vacation or being attacked by a flock of seagulls while holding shrimp in her hand in San Francisco at Pier 39. Whether their enjoying each other's company over a good glass of wine, a good joke or a spontaneous adventure, they are always laughing with one another. Where their is one, you can always count on the other.
Sophia McDonald
Junior Bridesmaid
Sophia isn't rough around the edges by any means. She's sweet, kind, soft spoken, and always ready to smile and laugh. At the same time, she has a tough interior. The bravest little girl we know, who doesn't shy away from picking up spiders, chasing bugs, and doesn't blink when a bee lands on her.
Harper Rich
Junior Bridesmaid
Harper is our outgoing tom-boy soccer star. She's spunky, funny, and very aware of the world around her. She has a very big heart and a soft spot for her sisters, friends and her big furry cat, Roxy. When she's not busy teaching her mom something new everyday, telling a joke, sharing her new favorite song, or showing off her dance moves, she enjoys watching her favorite Dwayne Johnson movies.
Alyssa McDonald
Flower Girl
Alyssa is everything fun you'd want in a little girl. She's sweet, energetic and fun, but with a twist. Behind the smile and beautiful eyes is a fierce little girl ready to take on the world. It doesn't matter how big or tall a person is, or even if they're her dad, she'll stand tall and take you down. She's is the definition of sugar, spice, and everything nice.
Quinn Rich
Flower Girl
Quinn is just pure joy. She is the light of our lives. She is such a happy, fun little girl always wanting to play and wrestle. She is so grateful for her friends and family and genuinely loves to talk about them. She enjoys dancing and tumbling around the house and always finishes her day off with a big hug, kiss and sweet treat!
