Wedding Party
Sara Castro Doherty
Maid of Honor
A.J. — I couldn’t imagine getting married without my sister by my side. Even though she is five years younger, even in high school I’d rather hang out with her than anyone else. And not much has changed. She inspires me beyond all measure. She has been there, loving and supporting me through thick and thin, and will always be my best friend. ❤️
Adam Sutliff
Best Man
A.J. — I don’t think I’ve ever had a truer friend than Adam Sutliff. From the moment they began training me as a barista at Starbucks and The Mighty Boosh quotes began to flow (“Note to self: pocket cup.”), I think we both knew there was magic! Adam has truly seen me at both my best and my worst, and has never left my side (figuratively, of course. I never thought I would develop a resentment for Minnesota 🤣). Adam is one of the best people I’ve ever known, and I’m beyond lucky to call them my friend.
Colin Doherty
Groomsman
A.J. — My very first brother! It took me 32 years, but that’s because I got a good one! Sara and Colin are real #couplegoals and I’m honored to have him stand with me at my wedding. He has been a loving and wonderful addition to the Castro family, and I couldn’t think of a better person for my sister to share her life with.
Nick Sutliff
Groomsman
A.J. — I met Nick on a birthday trip to Universal, after Adam (their sibling) had been dying for us to meet. As we walked up to introduce each other, I naturally tripped over thin air. They grabbed my hand, spun me around and caught me. Nick is one of gentlest souls I’ve ever met, and I have been so very lucky for the past six years to have the kindest, sweetest friend in my life.
Casey Lee
Matron of Honor
To my childhood and adulthood best friend, my ruffs, I couldn't imagine spending this day with anyone else, besides AJ! Casey has made such an impact on my life and it has been a blessing to call her my best friend. She is kind and compassionate, with a wicked sense of humor, and killer dance moves! Two peas in a pod and always will be!
Malissa Cray
Maid of Honor
Malissa and I have always had this twin flame effect when near each other. The Thelma to my Louise! From long car rides around town, jamming to GLEE and musical scores, down to deep impactful conversations about life. She has always been one of my #1 cheerleaders and would hands down produce an entire MTV show about my "scripted" life. lol.
Joslin S tarkey
Bridesmaid
My sweet precious baby sister! I couldn't imagine my special day without my musical loving, coffee drinking, spooky adventuring, partner in crime! Joslin always reminds myself to cherish and appreciate our sibling bond and to always laugh when the silly things happen!
Brandton S tarkey
Groomsman
My once little, now not so much, brother! He is smart and strong willed, while maintaining that sense of family! He is learning new things with every adventure and it has been amazing to watch his journey flourish.
Ma'laya Grimes
Flower Girl
Our beautiful 1st niece, Mae Mae, is a firecracker! She reminds us so much of Zach as a child, and that makes me laugh and feel for my sister! This one hits the ground running and never stops. Our little adventurer will most likely be chasing a butterfly down the isle and we couldn't be more happier!
Malia Grimes
Flower Girl
Malia, our 3rd precious niece, is ready to help us walk down the isle as she learns as well. Much like the blossoming flowers used in our bouquets, Malia is growing so fast and experiencing new things with every step. Her journey is just beginning and we're blessed to have her be in ours.
Madyson Grimes
Ring Bearer
Maddy Mads is our 2nd precious niece and she is destined to be the president! She is so smart and has strong leadership skills, but is so very shy. Much like the independent leader she is, it will be our honor to have her as our Ring Bearer.
