Wedding Party
Carmen Makinson
Maid of Honor
Carmen isn’t just a roommate — she’s family. She’s the one who keeps Jess grounded, tells it like it is (even when she doesn’t want to hear it), and somehow still manages to be the calm in the chaos. Matching outfits, endless laughs, and a million shared memories later, she’s the perfect person to stand by Jess’s side.
Joscelyn Gale
Bridesmaid
Jess’s younger sister and her heart in human form. They’ve grown up side by side, through every laugh, fight, and milestone that made them who they are. No matter where life has taken them, Joscelyn has always been Jess’s safe place and biggest supporter. Jess couldn’t imagine walking into this next chapter without her little sister right there beside her.
Jenna Courtney
Bridesmaid
Jess’s dearest friend since high school and one of the most constant people in her life. Through every milestone and change — including Jenna’s move to Sault Ste. Marie — their bond has only grown stronger. Whether they’re dancing their hearts out at Zumba or sending dog pictures back and forth, their friendship is proof that real connection doesn’t fade with distance.
Taylor deBoer
Bridesmaid
The baby of the deBoer family — and Brad’s “little sister” who somehow grew up into his mirror image, just prettier. Taylor moved to B.C. last Christmas, and having her here for the wedding feels extra special. She’s kind-hearted, thoughtful, and brings a gentle energy that makes everyone feel loved. Her bond with Brad runs deep, and Jess feels so lucky to call her not just a sister-in-law, but family in every sense of the word.
Nicole deBoer
Bridesmaid
Brad’s sister and one of the most loving people you’ll ever meet. Nicki has a heart of gold and a bond with Sawyer that melts everyone around them — whether they’re out in the yard playing catch or at one of his games cheering him on. She’s the type of person who shows her love through actions: the helping hands, the quiet support, the genuine care. To Jess and Brad, she’s not just family — she’s the glue that makes every gathering feel like home.
Chad Bolyea
Best Man
Chad has been by Brad’s side for over a decade — through late nights, muddy trails, and miles of memories. They’ve fixed cars, shared countless laughs, and been there for each other through every chapter. Their bond is the kind that lasts a lifetime, and there’s no one Brad would rather have standing beside him as he starts this next one.
Michael Dalley
Groomsman
Brad’s coworker turned close friend. After years of working side by side, Mike has become someone Brad can always rely on — quick to help, easy to laugh with, and always up for a good time. His steady presence and friendship have been part of Brad’s life for years, and it’s only right he’s part of this day too.
Jason Allen
Groomsman
Brad’s childhood friend and one of the few people who’s seen every version of him — the wild kid, the teenager with questionable decisions, and now the groom. They’ve shared years of laughs, adventures, and stories that probably shouldn’t be repeated at the wedding. Jason’s been there through it all, and having him here just feels like another great memory in a friendship that’s already full of them.
Kaiden Ford
Groomsman
Taylor’s boyfriend and an honorary member of the family. Kaiden’s got the perfect mix of patience and humor — a rare skill when surrounded by this bunch. He’s the type who’ll lend a hand, make you laugh, and somehow keep things calm at the same time. He’s quickly become part of the team, and we’re so happy he’s here to celebrate with us.
Sawyer deBoer
Groomsman
The smallest groomsman with the biggest personality. Sawyer keeps everyone laughing, whether he means to or not — and there’s never a dull moment when he’s around. He’s smart, funny, full of heart, and has been part of every special memory along the way. Let’s be honest… there’s a good chance he’ll steal the show (and nobody minds one bit).
