Wedding Party

Osiris Wilson

Ring Bearer

Osiris is Dani’s little brother. He is also the best younger brother Dani (and now Chris) could ask for. He always knows how to make us laugh and we can often be found playing games and wrestling each other. He may not be so little anymore but he’ll always be Dani’s little brother and there’s no one we’d want to be our ring bearer more.

Brad Blackwell

Flower Man

We met Brad through Alyssa and her previous job working at his distillery. Those two hit it off and now they’re also getting married this year! Brad has the calm, witty energy that balances the rest of our craziness. Brad is also the amazing photographer behind all of our engagement photos on this website!

Laura Cobb

Maid of Honor

Laura and Dani met in 2017 at the second high school Dani went to. They were in the marching band & winter guard together and became closer friends when covid rocked their senior year. They’ve both bonded over cats, plants, generally whimsical activities, and are now both working in the dental field! Laura is the best friend any one could ever ask for. She was there for our engagement and we’re both so glad to have her by our side again when we get married!

Will Gladden

Best Man

Will and Chris met at All Shooters Tactical around 2019. From there, they eventually became coworkers and buddies. Their friendship was built over range trips and steak nights. The two love a good cigar around a firepit or calling to rant about whatever their current hyper fixation of the day is.

Alyssa Blackwell

Bridesmaid

Dani met Alyssa at a mutual acquaintance’s birthday party and immediately knew they would be friends. How you might ask? The party theme was rainbow unicorns and Alyssa lasted roughly an hour in a tutu before changing into sweatpants. It was at that moment Dani knew she found her platonic soulmate. They’ve since bonded over general weaponry, history, plants, cats, thrifting, dark humor, and of course a love for a good pair of sweats and boots.

Beau Sandino

Groomsman

We met Beau when he started dating Laura and we instantly told Laura “we like this one, keep him.” The four of us love to hang out together and play lots of games. Beau is the reigning Mario Kart and Smash Bros champ, but we’re still looking to change that. A lot of our best memories in the last few years have been with Beau and Laura, including the day we got engaged! We look forward to sharing this next big memory with them and many more to come.

Morgan Gold

Bridesmaid

Morgan was one of the first people Dani met when she transferred to her second high school in 2017. They both played the euphonium in band together and became close. They love to catch up on life over shopping and ice cream and could talk for hours. Morgan has always been the kindest, most consistent friend to Dani no matter what stage of life they’ve been in. And, even though she just might be the busiest person we’ve ever met, we’re honored to have her by our side for our big day! Fun Fact: Morgan is now the band director for the middle school Dani and her brothers went to!
