Ryan & Lainey
Wedding Party
Kelsey Scarcello
Maid of Honor
Kelsey lives in Springfield, Oregon with her husband, Tony. Kelsey is my older sister and we are pretty much the same person, oftentimes saying the same phrases and quotes at the same time with the same inflection. Kelsey is one of the most kindhearted and loving people I know and is the best sister I could ever hope to have. Some of her hobbies include painting, jewelry making, and trying out new recipes. We asked the wedding party what Disney character(s) they are most like and Kelsey says she would be a combination of Cinderella and Anna from Frozen!
Pryce Baker
Best Man
Pryce lives in Ferndale, Washington, not far from where I (Ryan) met Pryce in Bellingham, Washington. We met at a friend's house in 2015. Through our mutual love of sports and music, we became brothers from another mother. Pryce and I have spoken, if not every day, every other day since we became friends. This speaks to his loyalty and kindness. When Pryce isn't hiking Mt. Baker, he's playing his guitar and singing worship music. We asked the wedding party what Disney character(s) they are most like and Pryce thinks he is most like Winnie the Pooh!
Emily Cary
Bridesmaid
Emily currently lives in Olympia, Washington after living in Oregon for most of her life. Emily and I met at a mutual friend's wedding six years ago, ironically at the same church that Ryan and I will be getting married! She makes me laugh like no other, always motivates me to be the best version of myself, and is the most loyal friend a girl could ask for. Some of her hobbies include quilting, hiking, cooking, and petting any dog she sees. She says the Disney character she is most like would be Moana!
Liam Cole
Groomsman
Liam currently lives in Santa Ana, California. Opposite from where he first entered the world in Cleveland, Ohio. Liam is my younger brother and we share a love for Star Trek, James Bond, and good music. He is also on his way to becoming a Disney adult like my bride and myself and we couldn't be prouder. Liam is kind, an amazing listener, and has a very big heart. I'm so glad to have my brother by my side on the big day. The Disney character he says he is most like is Simba from the Lion King.
Alison Castro
Bridesmaid
Ali currently lives in Everett, Washington with her husband, Christian. Ali and I met through Ryan on a trip up to Washington and we hit it off right away! We have grown together through our similar interests in crafting, all things Disney, puzzle books, and interior decorating. Ali is an absolute joy to be around! She has a huge heart and loves to take care of others. The Disney characters Ali says she is most like would be a combination of Jasmine from Aladdin and Judy Hopps from Zootopia!
Christian Castro
Groomsman
Christian lives in Everett, Washington with his wife, Ali. Christian and I met through some mutual friends on the campus of Western Washington University. We truly started our journey to brotherhood when Chrisitan agreed to drive down to Oregon with me on a spontaneous trip see my parents' new home. Christian is selfless, caring, and always seeks growth in both of us. Christian loves to make delicious meals and lattes, including latte art! Christian says out of all the Disney characters that he is most like Aladdin.
Donika Burdette
Bridesmaid
Donika lives in Veneta, Oregon with her fiance, Sean. I met Donika through mutual friends, almost ten years ago. Donika is such a fun person to be with. If you are having a hard day, she turns it around with her joyful, uplifting spirit. Donika is incredibly gifted at party planning and co-owns her own luxury pop-up picnic company: The Oregon Picnic Co. She loves to read, travel, go to Disney Parks, and is obsessed with all things Harry Potter. Donika says she is most like Kiara from Lion King II.
Sean Crafton
Groomsman
Sean lives in Veneta with his fiancé, Donika. I met Sean through Lainey’s friend group and like a couple of Irish brothers do, we hit it off right away. Simply put, Sean and I get each other. We connected over our mutual love of sports, comedy, and movies. One thing I love about him is his desire for authenticity and loyalty. He loves to play video games, work on home improvement projects, see movies with friends. The Disney character Sean says he is most like is Pongo from 101 Dalmatians.
Tilly Blancher
Pup of Honor
I have shamelessly added Tilly as an honorary member of the Wedding Party since she will be making an appearance on the big day! Tilly Mae became my girl in August 2020 and I couldn't have been more excited to claim the "Dog Mom" title. In her free time, she loves to chase squirrels, follow me around like a shadow, and take long dog naps. Tilly doesn't know what Disney is, but I think she would be a combination of Stitch from Lilo & Stitch and Doug from Up.
William Wickel
Groomsman
Will recently moved to Springfield, Oregon. He is my brother and the father of my beautiful niece, Tara. We have lived together and discovered our mutual love for movies, tv shows, and video games. Will and I love to joke around and make each other laugh. He is smart, loyal, and wise beyond his years. He enjoys gaming, studying political science, but ultimately, he loves nothing more than watching his little girl grow up. Will says the Disney character he shares similarities with is fan-favorite villain, Scar from the Lion King.
Tony Scarcello
Officiant
My soon-to-be brother-in-law, Tony, currently lives in Springfield, Oregon with his wife, Kelsey. He has become one of my best friends over these past years and Lainey and I couldn't imagine anyone else officiating our marriage vows. Tony is a friend to all, one of the funniest people I know, and loves people so well. Tony likes to golf, is a huge movie buff, and loves to read books on theology and spiritual development. The Disney character he identifies most with is Woody from Toy Story.
