Wedding Party
Dapo Bello
Best Man
Dapo is a computer programmer, traveler, and long-time Cal football fan (against his will). He and Ryan became close friends at a young age. Since then, they have spent considerable time watching sports, playing basketball, and working in the ministry together. Ryan and Madi originally met at a party at Dapo's house long before they developed a strong friendship. Dapo is always there for you, whether you need a quick laugh or help planning a secret engagement. If you want behind-the-scenes details on Ryan and Madi's engagement, be sure to ask Dapo.
Haley Powers
Maid of Honor
Haley is Madison’s younger sister, born just 16 months after her. Haley comes prepared for every scenario with a purse that puts any Swiss Army knife to shame. Growing up together, they developed a bond that can only be understood by those who have had the privilege of spending time with both of them. Because she is passionate about all things environmental, be sure to ask her for help sorting your garbage and recycling at the wedding!
Kevin De Leon
Groomsman
Kevin is a man of mystery and many talents, ranging from dental assisting to carpentry. He and Ryan have spent many evenings in field service, playing basketball, and talking Warriors. He is always down for the unexpected, like helping orchestrate a surprise engagement. You’ll find Kevin on the basketball court launching threes or at various Cal sporting events with Ryan. Make sure to take a minute to get to know Kevin at the wedding!
Mikelle Powers
Bridesmaid
Mikelle is Madison's younger sister, born ten years after her. Don't let Mikelle's quiet demeanor fool you; she knows exactly when to speak up to reassure you, and she will happily take over the dance floor. She and Madi have built an inseparable bond throughout their adventures to concerts, Warriors games, 49ers games, and trading Metro stories. You can catch her at the increasing number of Cal football games she attends.
Brandon Simmons
Groomsman
Brandon is a project manager, hardcore Bay Area sports fan, and guitar enthusiast. He and Ryan have been on their fair share of fun, yet chaotic, adventures together, ranging from convention assignments to road trips to Sonics and Cal football games. Be sure to ask him about his record collection, his favorite concerts, or any number of the hilarious moments he and Ryan have been a part of at their congregation meetings.
Jamie Reed
Bridesmaid
Jamie is the honorary third sister. Don't let her similar appearance to Haley fool you; Jamie has a unique personality shown anytime you need comedic relief to save you from crying or need someone to comfort you. She and Madi may be geographically separated, but their frequent calls and texts keep them intertwined in each other's lives. Be sure to ask Jamie about her adventures with Madi.
Nick Scott
Groomsman
Nick is a world traveler, scuba diver, culinary genius, and a nurse when he is in town. He has become Ryan's main travel buddy through their trips to Palau, France, and Japan—not to mention regular scuba diving trips to Monterey. Nick is officially on the hunt for a new travel buddy to replace Ryan. From diving the Galápagos to hiking the Alps or anything in between—give him a call to join the adventure!
Patricia Torres
Bridesmaid
Madison's Metro partner turned best friend and the life of the party. Affectionately described as 'Madi on steroids,' Patricia makes everyone feel included and right at home. An event planner by trade, she keeps the day running smoothly and the fun going nonstop. If there's ever a lull, find Patricia—she'll be on the dance floor or sharing one of her (mostly true) wild wedding stories.
