Tori & Cara
Wedding Party
Ali
Tori's Maid of Honor
Tori's sister and the youngest of the Dailey children- I'd say she's earned her spot as Maid of Honor! Ali has been a built-in wedding planner for Tori & Cara, and is putting her keen sense of style and planning to work. Tori and Ali have always been close, but she has become Tori’s closest and dearest friend in adulthood. Ali has a graceful way of keeping Tori hip, even when that results in being out past 10 on a Wednesday night. She has been such an amazing help in all of the planning, starting with the engagement, and there is no one that Tori would rather have by her side on her wedding day!
Sami
Cara's Best Maid
Cara's younger sister by 6 years, Sami took the brunt of Cara’s younger-year shenanigans by default. Sami and Cara developed an unmistakable bond in adulthood and Cara is so excited to have Sami standing by her side on her special day. Shameless plug (on Sami’s behalf) she’s an incredibly talented artist- keep an eye out for some of her work around the wedding!
Sydney
Bridesmaid
Sydney and Tori’s friendship was established towards the end of middle school when they started an inside joke of goofy nicknames for one another, and honestly not a thing has changed since. Syd has been one of Tori’s constants in life and has always been just a phone call away- able to pick up right where they left off! Through thick and thin- Tori is so excited to have Syd standing with her on her wedding day!
Kim
Bridesmaid
After accidentally swapping identical wallets at Gallagher's bar in Baltimore, Kim and Cara became the ultimate dynamic duo. From the Nashville Country Music Festival, to pride in St. Pete Beach, to living together in Albuquerque, NM, and now to standing by one another on their wedding days-these two have stuck together through it all!
Cyril
Bridesmaid
Cyril and Tori have been best friends since the third grade at North Frederick Elementary. From multiplication flashcards in Mrs. Duncan's class to weekend shenanigans, Cyril and Tori have shared laughs, tears, and everything in between over the past 20 years of friendship. The wedding party just wouldn't be complete without Cyril's winning smile and rapping-every-word-in-the-song capabilities!
Katie
Bridesmaid
Fondly known as Big D- Cara and Katie met in college at Towson University while living in the dorms and later became roomies off campus. Big D and Cara could always be found with their dog pack- Moose, Callie, and Petri- and bonded over their love for animals, movies, and being football team rivals (Go Boys).
Tim
Bridesman
Tim and Tori's story starts in Ms. Eichelberger's class in the 7th grade at TJ middle school. Tim was new and transferred after the school year had started. Tori prefers Tim's version of how they became friends, where he says he entered the full classroom for the first time and spotted Tori and Cyril sitting together. At that moment he thought to himself: "they're going to be my best friends". 17 years and many, many memories later- he was exactly right. Tim has been an amazing friend to Tori through the years and is always guaranteed to be making somebody laugh. This is Tim's first appearance as a bridesman and Tori has no doubt that he will fill that role to it's utmost potential.
Brad
Bridesman
Brad, Ali’s boyfriend, and Cara have become the best of buds over the last 6 years. The only exception is during a Cowboys game when Brad starts talkin’ sideways and Cara has to advise him that, if he continues into the 4th quarter, he will be asked to leave. Brad and Cara have bonded over dating sisters who are far too similar and it only made perfect sense to have Brad a part of the big day!
Gabby
Bridesmaid
Although Gabby and Tori were in the same friend group for some time before they sprouted off on their own, their real story starts at a Chipotle when they randomly met up for lunch one day. Before they knew it hours had passed and they were full fledged best friends from that moment on! From senior week in Ocean City (twice) to being each other’s bridesmaids in their weddings- these two are powering through adulthood and, since Gabby and her husband moved to Arizona, learning that their bond reaches coast-to-coast!
Jess
Bridesmaid
Jess, previously Tori & Cara's boss at Waystation, was the first person from work to know when the two started dating and were keeping it on the "DL" (down low). Jess was always supportive of Cara during the stress of working at Waystation and being in nursing school. She and Cara bonded over binge watching tv shows, hiking and eating delicious food- and Jess is always a go-to for a good workout! Their bond was deepened during a two week trip to Thailand with Jess, her husband, Tori and Cara and- oh yeah, definitely had plenty of delicious food too! Jess continues to show her support for Tori and Cara and has always been a loyal friend- and deserves an extra special shout out for helping Cara through the journey of buying the ring and planning the proposal!
Lauren
Bridesmaid
The newest addition to the Dailey family, Tori's sister-in-law Lauren has become the big sister Tori never had! The first night the family met Lauren, she walked in and immediately joined a particularly crude round of the game What Do You Meme. She sat down, took her turn like a champ, and at that moment the Dailey's knew she was going to be a perfect fit! Tori is so excited to have another sister not only in her wedding, but also in the family.
Garrett
Bridesman
Garrett, Tori's brother, was one of the first Dailey's to hang out with Cara during a visit at Cape May, NJ after Tori's nephew, Nixon, was born. Having no knowledge that, despite being a nurse, Cara has a fear of holding small children, he handed 2-month-old Nixon right over to her and got a major kick out of the look on Cara's face. Garrett and Cara have a similar sense of humor and are always able to bond over the new types of craft beer Garrett finds and shares. Cara is so excited to be able to add a brother to her wedding party and her family!
Kelsey
Bridesmaid
Kelsey and Tori met in high school the typical way- through mutual friends and parties. Their friendship has grown to be anything but typical and Tori continues to admire her generosity and caring nature towards others. She's demonstrated this on more than one occasion by literally getting Tori's blood on her hands, but that's a story for another time! Tori knows she can rest easy with Kelsey as part of the I Do Crew and ensuring there's not a hair out of place on the big day!
Alyson
Bridesmaid
Alyson and Cara met back in 2011 while they were working at Way Station Inc., and later went on to become study buddies as they pursued their degrees in nursing at Frederick Community College. They endured the trials and tribulations of their first job in the field together in the ICU at George Washington hospital and continue to be each other's first text with nursing questions or concerns. Alyson has been Tori & Cara's "third wheel" from the start and having her apart of their wedding is yet another awesome memory to add to the books!
