American Girl daddy daughter nights, weekly sleepovers growing up, the day Selby Rose said 'yes!' and everything in between... Samantha has been there for it all! Hard to sum up 20+ years of friendship in words but, she teases Selby Rose like a sister and is always there for her when she needs her.
Harrison Spayner
Best Man
Harry and Jacob met while rushing in the same pledge class of Theta Chi at Bradley University. From their first conversation about football, their bond was sealed.

These best buds talk or game together on a daily basis. They always look forward to their next visit together.

Although they do not live close at the moment, Megan and Selby Rose have a forever type of friendship.
Liam MacGillivray
Groomsman
Liam and Jacob have known each other for 10+ years. As he is Selby Rose’s brother, Jacob and Liam have grown up with each other over the years.

Sometimes it feels like they already are brothers after so long, but Jacob looks forward to making it official.
Kelly Breen
Bridesmaid
Kelly spilt milk on Selby Rose in 6th grade and has been one of her best friends ever since! Selby Rose can count on Kelly to keep her on her toes and always make sure she is making time for fun.

Evan and Jacob are only 5 months a part in age, and so they have grown up together every summer. Playing basketball, exploring creeks, and building forts.

Allan Tetley
Master of Ceremonies
Allan Tetley (Tet) has been a friend of the MacGillivray family for over 35 years. In fact, Selby Rose believes he was the first person to ever call her SR. Selby Rose has fond childhood memories hanging with the Tetley’s at the lake. This past summer Tet was able to join the MacG's for a 4th of July at the cabin. He quickly jumped in on Jacob and SR’s tradition to run the 4th of July Pow Wow days 5k and kept the cabin crew laughing all weekend. Although, Tet does not live close he is always up for a phone call and time never seems to pass when he pops back into town. Jacob and Selby Rose are honored to have Tetley carry out the Canadian tradition of MCing their wedding reception.
Steve Holmberg

Mr. H has watched Selby Rose grow up over the last 20+ years. He has been there for both the small and milestone moments. He observed Selby Rose complete Dennis's beginner driving course, has helped her fill her tires with air, and shared many birthdays, family vacations, holidays and everything in between with the MacG's over the years. Selby Rose knows that she could reach out to Mr. H at any time and he would be there for her. When Jacob came into the picture Mr. H accepted him with open arms and soon after Jacob was included in the Holmberg's Christmas Eve tradition.

Selby Rose and Jacob are honored to have Mr. H officiate.
