Wedding Party
Cassandra Hallaj-Rodriguez
Matron of Honor
We met when we were five, arguing over who had the best Dorothy costume at the annual costume contest. Somehow that turned into a lifelong friendship filled with inside jokes, questionable decisions, and way too many memories to count. She’s been by my side through it all, and I can’t imagine saying “I do” without her as my matron of honor.
Josh Heyman
Best Man
I met Josh when we were 16 at the fire department. We were just kids trying to figure things out, but spending that much time together quickly turned into a solid friendship. From then until now, we’ve been through a lot together, and he’s always someone you want on your team. I’m so grateful to have him next to me as I say “I do.”
Katie Hooper
Bridesmaid
We met when I was ten and she was born—though she probably didn’t remember me at first! Since then, we haven’t always been close, but over time I’ve had the chance to become her built-in best friend, occasional babysitter, and partner-in-crime. Growing up together has meant shared secrets, sibling debates, and endless memories, and I’m so excited to have her as my bridesmaid.
Ryan Nelon
Groomsman
I've known Ryan since elementary school, and its crazy we went from being kids in class to serving together on the fire department. He's always been the friend that shows up no matter what and has always had my back. I am so lucky to have you stand with me on my wedding day.
Ashley Staszak
Bridesmaid
The first time I met my future sister-in-law, I knew we’d get along… mostly because she was already laughing at my future husband with me. Since then, she’s been my go-to for laughs, good vibes, and someone I can’t wait to have by my side on the big day.
Allan Hooper
Groomsman
I met AJ right at the beginning of Maggie's and my relationship, and I've been lucky enough to watch him grow up over the years. He brings so much energy to everything he does and always has Maggie's back. Having him stand up here with us as a groomsman makes today even more special and I wouldn't want this day without him by my side
Riley Miller
Bridesmaid
We met the day she was born, and quickly found out that growing up together would be equal parts chaos, laughter, and sisterly love. Over the years, our bond has only grown stronger, and I’m so grateful for the relationship we’ve built. I’m beyond excited to have her by my side on the wedding day and to keep making even more memories together in this next chapter.
Beth Teklu
Groomswoman
We met at work, but she quickly became so much more than just a co-worker. What started as shared shifts turned into a friendship I truly cherish. She brings so much fun into my life and always knows how to make me laugh, even on the busiest night. She keeps me grounded in the best way and is always there with brutal honest advice and support when I need it most. I’m so grateful for our friendship and feel incredibly lucky to have her standing by my side on such a special day.
Taylor Miller
Bridesmaid
We met when I joined Tri Sigma, and she became my Big not long after—welcoming me with warmth, humor, and a whole lot of sisterhood. She showed me the best ways to survive late-night snacks, all-nighters, and college chaos. She’s been my mentor, source of wisdom (and laughs), and personal cheerleader ever since, and I’m so excited to have her standing by my side on my wedding day.
Blaine Wasson
Groomsman
We met in the police academy and quickly formed a strong friendship. Going through that experience together wasn’t easy, but it built a bond based on trust, teamwork, and long days of training. Over time, that friendship continued to grow beyond the academy. He’s become someone I can always rely on, and I’m grateful for the support, laughs, and shared experiences. It means a lot to have him standing with me on the big day—I couldn’t imagine it without him by my side.
Briana Young
Bridesmaid
We met when I was in college during COVID, so our “big/little bonding” mostly happened over Zoom, memes, and late-night text marathons. Somehow, she still became my partner-in-crime for laughter, questionable decisions, and making the best of a very weird year. I’m so excited to have her standing by my side on my wedding day!
Quincy Jackson
Groomsman
We met on the fire department, and he quickly became one of my go-to guys. Whether on shift or off duty, he’s always someone I can rely on and keeps things light when they need to be. Over time, that turned into a strong friendship built on trust, teamwork, and plenty of laughs. It means a lot to have him standing with me on the big day.
Isabella Amaducci
Junior Bridesmaid
I’ve known Isabella since she was born—I was 12, and she was the tiny little kid who stole everyone’s attention. Watching her grow up has been such a joy, and now I’m lucky enough to have her as my amazing junior bridesmaid. I can’t wait to share laughs, hugs, and all the special moments together on the big day!
Nala
Ring Bearer
We met in my early 20s, and from the very first tail wag, I knew life was about to change—for the better (and a little messier!). She has been my loyal sidekick ever since, making me laugh every day, demanding cuddles at the perfect moments, and teaching me what unconditional love really means. I can’t imagine life—or this wedding—without her by my side.
