Jackie is Cheyanne’s older sister and someone who has been a steady presence through every chapter of her life. From childhood memories to adult milestones, she’s been the one Cheyanne can always count on—honest, loyal, and endlessly supportive. Having Jackie by her side as maid of honor isn’t just tradition—it’s a reflection of the deep bond they share.

Cheyanne met Kaitlyn in 7th grade, and they’ve been inseparable ever since. More than just best friends, Kaitlyn is truly like a sister—someone who’s been there through every high and low, every laugh and late-night talk. She’s family in every way that matters, and their bond is the kind that lasts a lifetime.

Cheyanne and Allix met in 7th grade and have been like twins ever since. From finishing each other’s sentences to sharing the same sense of humor, their connection has always been natural and effortless. Over the years, they’ve grown up together—navigating life’s highs and lows side by side. Allix is the kind of friend who just gets Cheyanne, no explanation needed. Their bond has stood the test of time, and having her by Cheyanne’s side on such a meaningful day feels exactly right.

Allix Cervantes

Cheyanne met Bryanna as fellow team moms on their sons’ football team, and they instantly clicked. It didn’t take long to realize how much they had in common—they’ve quite literally lived parallel lives. From crafting sessions to football sidelines, their friendship has grown into something truly special. Bryanna is the kind of friend who feels like she’s been there forever.

Bryanna Martin

Ally started as Ronnie’s roommate, but she’s always been more like a sister to him—and now to Cheyanne, too. She’s had a front-row seat to their relationship from the very beginning and has been cheering them on every step of the way. These days, she’s not just family—she’s also Cheyanne’s go-to line dancing partner and one of her closest friends

Ally Van Dyke

Viviana has been like a sister to Ronnie for as long as anyone can remember—someone who's always been there through the years. As Cheyanne and Ronnie’s relationship grew, it was only natural that Viviana and Cheyanne formed a connection of their own. Their friendship came effortlessly, built on mutual respect, shared values, and a lot of laughter. Over time, that bond has deepened, and Viviana has become an important part of both their lives—not just a friend, but truly family.

Viviana Hinger

Orion is Cheyanne’s oldest son and someone who looks up to Ronnie in every way. Their bond has grown into something truly special, and Orion is proud to stand by Ronnie’s side on such an important day. He’s excited not just for the wedding, but for the moment Ronnie officially becomes his stepdad.

Andrew is Ronnie’s best man and partner-in-crime since their senior year of high school. From the jump, their friendship has been built on music, mayhem, and nonstop sarcasm. Whether they’re DJing, gaming until sunrise, or dragging each other through Rocket League chaos, one thing’s for sure—there’s never a dull moment. They’ve shared wild adventures from Irvine to Greece, pulled off last-minute Vegas trips, and somehow managed to turn every hangout into a full-blown comedy show. If there’s a joke to be made, one of them is already saying it—and the other’s probably crying laughing, or offended. Either way Andrew’s been there through it all. He’s more than a best friend—he’s family.

Andrew Palhaus

Ronnie met James through Twitch, where a shared love for DJing kicked off a friendship full of creativity, chaos, and good vibes. Whether they’re hitting the decks, brainstorming projects, or just being ridiculous together, they’ve built a solid bond over the years. James also became close with Cheyanne—helping with her business and quickly stepping into the role of a big brother (the kind who never misses a chance to lovingly pick on her). He's part of the crew, part of the family, and always down to turn up the volume.

James Luttinger

Matt is Ronnie’s younger brother and lifelong partner-in-crime. They grew up as two peas in a pod—though Ronnie never missed a chance to pull a classic older brother prank. Despite the teasing, their bond runs deep, and having Matt by his side means everything.

Matt McConnell

Ryan is Ronnie’s youngest brother, with 12 years between them—but that never kept them from building a strong bond. Whether it’s sharing laughs or life advice, their relationship has only grown closer over the years. Ronnie’s proud to have him standing beside him.

Ryan McConnell

Jimmy is one of Ronnie’s best friends from childhood, and their bond has only grown stronger over the years. From late-night video game marathons to dancing side by side at music festivals, they’ve shared a lot of unforgettable moments. Jimmy also proudly serves as Ronnie’s personal Greek teacher—adding a little culture (and a lot of laughs) to the mix. Their friendship is the perfect blend of fun, loyalty, and shared adventures.

Jimmy Parker

Ronnie met Robby on the very first day of kindergarten—and let’s just say, the impression stuck. Robby showed up to Ronnie’s house in shorts, sandals, a helmet, riding a scooter, and absolutely no shirt. It was iconic. Years later, after Ronnie moved back to California from Seattle, Robby was the first friend he reconnected with, picking up right where they left off. Since then, they’ve been roommates, survived some questionable cooking adventures, and Robby has even force-fed Ronnie his fair share of vegan meals (with mixed reviews). From World of Warcraft marathons to just hanging out whenever they can, their friendship is full of stories, laughs, and a whole lot of history.

Robby Hinger

Tre is Cheyanne’s middle son and her wild, fun-loving mini-me. Full of personality and always keeping things interesting, he’ll be helping escort his mom down the aisle by holding her veil—a role he’s proudly taking on with style (and probably a little sass).

Tre Ramirez

Odin, otherwise known as Odi is Cheyanne’s youngest and the heart of the family. With his pure, gentle spirit and endless sweetness, he’ll be helping escort his mom down the aisle by holding her veil. It’s a small role with big meaning—and one he’ll carry with all the love in his heart.

Odin Ramirez

Aliyah is Cheyanne’s niece and Kaitlyn’s oldest daughter. Full of spunk, sass, and confidence, she’s the perfect fit for the role of flower girl. She’ll be bringing style, attitude, and a whole lot of personality down the aisle.

Aliyah Cruz

Emiliano, lovingly known as Mills, is Cheyanne’s nephew and Kaitlyn’s youngest son. He’ll be serving as the ring bearer—or as the family likes to say, the ring bear—because he’s just as cute and cuddly as one. Mills is sure to steal a few hearts on his way down the aisle.
