Ryan & Jillian
Wedding Party
Jeff Williams
Best Man
Jeff and Ryan met at the Air Force Academy and have stayed close ever since. Jeff and Ryan have traveled across the world together from the Mediterranean Coast of Greece and Bulgaria to the surfing in the rainforest of Colombia. Jeff lives in Columbus, Ohio where he is studying to get a doctorate of operations research. If you get Jeff a drink, just know its either Miller Light or fancy wine, don't bother with anything in between.
Katie Downer
Matron of Honor
Younger sister of the bride and mother of the bride's three wonderful nieces, who will also be in the wedding. Katie lives in San Andreas, CA, with her husband, Brandon. She's a victim's advocate for the DA's office. While Katie is the younger sister, she has always been the boss. The perfect choice for matron of honor, not only because she'll keep the bride on time and make sure no one gets in the way, but also because she knows exactly what to say or what look to give to have the bride crying from laughter.
Brennan Hogan
Groomsman
Brennan is the younger brother of the groom. He lives in Maryland with his girlfriend Jet where they are both studying to get their doctorates in physical therapy. Brennan and Ryan are only two years apart, so they always grew up playing on the same sports teams and being very competitive with each other. The running family joke is that THE Brennan is ALWAYS right, or so he thinks. All joking aside, Ryan is so grateful to have such a reliable, caring, and genuine brother and friend in his life.
Samantha Redfield
Bridesmaid
Younger sister of the bride. Sam lives in Angels Camp, California, with her husband Codey. She works at the Angels Camp Mortuary and runs her own jewelry business, Lupine & Pine. Sam is one of the strongest people you'll ever meet, both physically and mentally. She's an old soul and has always been the calm and steady one of the three sisters, but she's got her spunky side, not taking shit from anyone and always being a good sport when Katie and the bride gang up on her.
Nolan Hogan
Groomsman
Nolan is the groom's younger brother. He lives in Reno, NV where he is studying finance and analytics at the University of Nevada Reno. Nolan, aka "No Money," is the youngest sibling of the Hogan household. According to his siblings, he fits the baby of the family stereotype perfectly, but in reality, they are all jealous of his laid back college lifestyle.
Emily Hogan
Bridesmaid
Emily is the younger sister of the groom. She lives in Seattle, WA, and is a pediatric nurse. Being the only girl amongst three brothers, Emily grew up tough and not afraid of any adventure. Despite her recent crippling incident of getting the perfect "boomerang" while ice skating, she hasn't slowed down a bit. She's the embodiment of the term FOMO, so expect to see her at the center of the dance floor.
Dominic Cavilia
Groomsman & Officiant
Dominic, or Dom, is the groom's younger cousin, and as the first two boys in the family, Ryan and Dom grew up very close. Dom is a ski instructor by winter and hiking trail restorer by summer. He is the perfect choice for an officiant because of his genuine nature and his big heart. The bride and groom can't wait to share such a monumental moment with Dom.
Katherine Lundberg
Bridesmaid
Katherine is a long time friend of the bride. They've known each other for fifteen years. They went to high school together, and lived together in San Francisco. Katherine lives in Oakland, California with her husband, Patrick. She is an Onsite Medical Specialist and manages the Wellness Center programs for Apple. Katherine is loudest person the bride knows, she and Patrick are always the life of the party, and she is super fun so try to find yourself in her circle when it comes to dancing, drinking, any/all shenanigans.
Sheila Smires
Bridesmaid
Sheila is a long time friend of the bride. She and the bride met working together at Victoria's Secret in 2011. Sheila currently lives in San Francisco, California, with her boyfriend, Victor.

Payton
Bridesmaid
The brides first and oldest niece, Payton, has moved on from flower girl duty and is taking on her first bridesmaid role. Payton is smart, sensitive, stylish, and sweet. She is the bride's mini-me and the bride can't wait to celebrate her big day with the first person who made her "Auntie Bean."
Taya & Riley
Flower Girl
Five year old niece of the bride, Taya has recently become a big sister to the second flower girl, one year old Riley. No one ever thought Taya's spunk and sass could be outdone, until Riley was born. Both girls are wild and are absolutely adored by the bride and the groom.
