Chloe Bach - Maid of Honor
Chloe is Ariel’s older sister — and though it all began with her telling their mom to “take it back” to the hospital when Ariel was born, it quickly grew into an incredible sisterhood and friendship. A paramedic, a talented artist, and one of the strongest people Ariel knows, Chloe faces every challenge with courage and determination. Her resilience, creativity, and dedication inspire Ariel every day and motivate her to be her best self.
Ryon Pax - Best Man
Ian met Ryon (aka Pax) in the CU dorms, where their friendship was forged over hammocks and questionable life choices. Ian was the best man at Pax’s wedding, and now Ian couldn't be happier to have Pax as his. Pax is the introvert to Ian’s extrovert, the calm to his chaos. Together they have survived CU football games, Country Jam adventures, MIPs, and more drunken nights than either of them cares to admit. Through it all, Pax has always been there—quiet, loyal, and just sometimes the voice of reason.
Kayla Knight - Matron of Honor
Ariel and Kayla met in 7th grade and have been nearly inseparable ever since. Kayla is fiercely intelligent and passionate — never afraid to stand up for what she believes in, and especially for her friends and loved ones. She’s the one who will debate you, challenge you, and still be the first to show up when you need her most — Ariel’s true ride-or-die. And when the walls come down, she’s the perfect match to Ariel’s brand of crazy.
Brad Eck - Best-ish Boy
Brad and Ian met sophomore year of College. They bonded over their shared idiotic sense of humor, relentless stubbornness, and inability to say no to a good time. If there's fun to be had, Brad is always Ian's first call. From spontaneous adventures to legendary vacations, some of Ian’s best memories almost always include Brad. He’s ridiculously likable, endlessly loyal, and the kind of friend who makes life way more entertaining (and occasionally more chaotic).
Brittany Kephart - Bridesmaid
Brittany and Ariel met during the craziness of Covid, quickly finding comfort and laughter in each other’s company. From hiking trails to doggy dates, their adventures together have become some of Ariel’s favorite memories. Brittany always goes the extra mile for her friends and is the best listener when she can’t be there in person. She’s the kind of friend where time and distance never matter — their friendship only grows stronger.
Nick Trucco - Groomsman
Ian's older brother Nick has always been the spark behind Ian's competitive spirit and borderline obsession with sports. From a young age, Nick pushed Ian to be better and never stop trying to improve, not just in sports but in life. Nick has been a role model - someone easy to look up to but hard to emulate. His drive, determination and unwavering ambition inspired Ian throughout his life and continue to do so today.
Katy Thomas - Bridesmaid
Katy and Ariel met through mutual friends several years ago and quickly connected through their kindhearted spirits and creative nature. Known for her boundless generosity and warm heart, Katy is always the first to give and the last to expect anything in return. She gives unwavering support to her friends and will be your biggest cheerleader — just as she was for Delylah's Tacos. She is also a great hype woman on the dancefloor!
Cody Trucco - Groomsman
Ian’s younger brother Cody has always felt more like a partner than just a sibling. From teaming up against their older brother Nick as kids to exploring the world together as adults, Cody has been by Ian's side. He has the biggest heart of anyone Ian knows, and Ian deeply admires his courage to follow it—whether that means moving over-seas, changing careers, or simply being there for the people he loves. Cody's bravery and authenticity are traits Ian has always revered.
Anthony Desalvo - Bridesman
Anthony (AKA Handsome Anthony) is Ariel’s longest friend in Colorado. They met in 2013 while working at a restaurant, and their friendship quickly took off. What started as sneaking breaks together at work turned into weekends full of cooking, game nights, and exploring new hiking trails. So easily befriended, he’s become part of all of Ariel’s different friend groups. Anthony is loyal and passionate, and Ariel greatly admires his drive — when he finds something he loves, he gives it 110%.
Will Miller - Groomsman
Ian and Will started work on the same day at Kahuna in 2013. Early on, they discovered a shared love of Jackson Hole—where Will’s wife is from—and even realized they had attended the same party at UW not long before joining the company. Their friendship flourished when they teamed up for the company golf league under the name “Putt Buddies,” a name that has since evolved to become a motto for their friendship: PBFL!
Will is one of the most steadfast and dependable friends anyone could ask for—always ready to lend a hand and often, the first person Ian turns to for advice. His personable nature shines through in every interaction, and he exemplifies what it means to be not just a great friend but also a loving husband and father.
