Wedding Party
Marissa Baker
Maid of Honor
Marissa has been sister of the bride since 1996. Since then, the two have shared everything from rooms to clothes and even parents, Marcia and Kevin. But, as of September 28th, 2025, they won't even be sharing a last name! She and Bianca had the luck to grow up together, but now Dan will grow old with B. Marissa has always been there for Bianca through the highs and lows they've faced in life, and the couple is excited to have her stand by their side on one of the best days of Bianca and Dan's lives.
Kevin Baele
Best Man
Kevin is the brother of the groom, and the two would tell you they've felt everything from love to madness through the years. Regardless, he has been a pivotal piece in Dan's life, sharing an affinity for the creative arts and individual expression. After years of sharing many memories with each other and parents Robin and Roger in their Scottsdale home, Kevin and Dan continue to stay brotherly regardless of their distance. Kevin now prepares for life as a brother-in-law as the couple looks forward to their union.
Lexi Homme
Bridesmaid
Lexi is Bianca's best friend from Creighton University. When Bianca moved to Omaha in 2012 for college, she had no family there. But Lexi quickly became a sister to her. They made it through college together, navigating classes, parties and boys. Lexi and B became roommates and every night in the dorms was like a sleepover which consisted of lots of trips to Taco Bell and gossiping about their love life. Lexi met Dan for the first time when he came to visit B at Creighton in 2016 and she could see how happy he made her. Bianca and Dan are excited to include Lexi in this next chapter of their love story.
Julian Herring
Groomsman
Tied for first in best friend rankings, Julian has been side-by-side with Dan since elementary school. They've shared adventures from working at Haagen-Dazs to living in Denver, and act as if they're still in grade school when together. After decades of laughter and friendship, Julian welcomes B into their lives with open arms.
Kenzie Hahn
Bridesmaid
Kenzie and Bianca have been friends for 18 crazy years. She has been part of Dan and Bianca's love story from the very start. In fact, Kenzie even made a pros/cons list of Dan for B, when they were good Catholic high school girls. Kenzie's pro list was so long that B was encouraged to give DanDan the Mohawk Man a real shot!
Garrett Murphy
Groomsman
Garrett has been Dan's go-to man since 2nd grade, always bursting forth with new ideas to explore - some creative, and some too crazy to share. They've always found ways to overcome challenges, and look forward to including Bianca in their shenanigans (when she so approves).
Caitie Homa
Bridesmaid
Caitie is one of Bianca's best friends from high school and had first met Dan 13 years ago. She was shocked to hear Bianca was dating a guy with a mohawk, but as they hung out more saw how cute they were. As Dan and B went their separate ways for college, Caitie was there for Bianca in all the ups and downs of life, but, more importantly, her dating life. Living in 2 different states couldn't keep Caitie and B apart. She was always a phone call away and gave the best advice. Caitie always knew Dan was the man in B's life and that they would end up together.
Chris Lawrie
Groomsman
Chris is a talented musician who has been collaboratively intertwined with Dan since they met in high school. They have pursued various creative interests across media over many years. Inviting Dan to his wedding as best man, he now cherishes the chance to witness Bianca and Dan's special day.
Hadley Van Iten
Bridesmaid
Hadley and Bianca became best friends early on when Bianca started working at Mayo Clinic five years ago. Together they made it through working in the ICU during a global pandemic. Hadley always knew how to brighten B's day during their long night shifts. The light at the end of the tunnel was Dan coming back into B's life in 2022. Bianca and Dan are excited to have Hadley share this special day.
Billy Brander
Groomsman
Billy, though physically the furthest, still sits in Dan's heart as closely as any other groomsman. Helping Dan survive the throes of Purdue, Billy's Chicago home was central to Dan's years at college. Swapping visits across states, he jumped on the opportunity to stand by Dan's side on this important day.
