Groomsman
Ryan met Ryan through baseball as kids, and they immediately bonded over their shared name—and their shared love for mischief.

Through every ridiculous idea and every great memory, Ryan has been a lifelong friend, and there’s no way this wedding would be complete without him!
Groomsman

Ryan couldn’t imagine his big day without Sean by his side!
Groomsman

Father of the Groom
Rob has always been the steady yet firm voice in Ryan’s life—the one offering guidance, wisdom, and the occasional reality check. As Ryan’s first youth baseball coach, Rob instilled a love for the game and spent countless hours practicing with him in the backyard. On the golf course, he taught not just the sport but also valuable life lessons along the way (including when to kick Ryan out of the golf cart for a bad attitude). Through every win, loss, and challenge, Rob has been a constant role model, shaping Ryan into the man he is today. He’s not just Ryan’s dad—he’s his hero.
Mother of the Groom
Kim has always been Ryan’s biggest supporter, encourager, and shoulder to cry on. From handcrafting every Halloween costume for Ryan and Jenna to spending endless hours driving Ryan to travel baseball games, she’s been there every step of the way. Those long car rides turned into some of their best bonding moments, filled with laughter and SiriusXM comedy. And while she *almost* killed him when he “borrowed” the family car (without asking) to buy water balloons at a baseball event, her patience and love have never wavered. Through every adventure, win, and questionable decision, Kim has been Ryan’s rock, and he couldn’t be more grateful to have her by his side on his big day.
Father of the Bride
As Danielle gets ready to take the next big step in her journey, let’s take a moment to give a shout-out to the man who’s been there from day one—her dad, Bob!

His love and guidance have shaped Danielle into the woman she is today, and she couldn’t be more excited to have him by her side as she embarks on this next adventure.
Mother of the Bride
Lori has been with Danielle through it all— from cheerleading to motherhood and every busy moment in between.

Whether it was a quick pep talk, or a car ride filled with laughter, Lori has been the heart and soul of every adventure. Danielle is beyond grateful to have Lori by her side on this special day and in life.
