Bailee and Torc have been two peas in a pod since college softball. Even though both Bailee and Torc moved multiple times throughout their friendship, it never did tarnish the bond they share. Bailee proudly says Torc is her best friend when anyone asks, which often upsets Zach Dowty, who said he would wear a dress if he was chosen as MOH instead of Torc. Bailee and Derek still love Torc, even though she's a hose dragger. Thanks for being my day one best friend, and I can't wait for you to nervous fart with me all day. - B

Maleri and Derek met when she started at the SO and they immediately became friends. Derek was talking about truck things in the squadroom and Maleri said "I miss my 12-valve", to which Derek replied, "we're friends now". And that's just what happened. Don't tell any hunting stories around her though. She's a game cop these days. Mal, I'm glad you're my bestie. If I drunkenly stagger into the river on my wedding night, I know you'll have just the spinner to get me out! -D

The only male on Bailee's side. Bailee and Josh have been best friends since high school. Even with distance, they've maintained a close relationship throughout the challenging careers they chose. Josh has been there for literally every breakup Bailee has ever been through. It's only fair he's next to her for the one that isn't free, LOL. Can't wait to have you by my side on my big day, buddy! - B

It's a low-quality picture because we're so old. I was Bailee's age when this was taken. Ducky has been a part of Derek's life since high school. The two bonded spending summers at USCG Station Yaquina Bay during their time in the Sea Cadets. They've managed to find and squeeze out of more trouble than either will care to admit. This man wisely said, "Yeah. Wait. What?" I'm glad you're here, buddy. Keep your hands off Torc! -D

Ben doesn't like to go by Ben. He goes by Cloud. Unless you're Bailee, who calls him Benny Ben. He also doesn't like his picture taken because government and things. Cloud is the guy who went through many a door with Derek as a member of the SWAT team. The great thing about Cloud is his willingness to always have a deep conversation and take the counterpoint for the sake of argument. No matter the struggle, Cloud will be shoulder to shoulder with you. Cloud, I'd leave you some words of wisdom, but you'd just argue it anyway. -D

The better version of both Derek and Bailee. Lexi is a spunky 13-year-old goofball that loves all things video games, guns, and America-related. Though Bailee and Lexi have only known each other a few short years, it feels like an absolute lifetime of love and laughter. Bailee already calls Lexi, "her child" to everyone she meets. The day wouldn't be complete without my girl by my side. Love you kid! - B No sneaking drinks!- Dad

Emil is not only Bailee's grandpa, but her very best friend since *literally* day one. I mean, who else can say they have a matching tattoo with their grandpa? It's only natural Emil and Derek built such a good relationship as well. Bailee and Derek love Emil and his wife, Sandy, so much, they decided to get married on their 55th wedding anniversary. Derek jumped at the chance to have Emil be a groomsman so he wouldn't be the oldest guy up there.

Small, but very mighty, this gal single handedly helps Bailee get through a shift with the SO. There will be many dispatcher jokes at this wedding, and Mora welcomes them with open arms. As a newer friendship, Bailee and Mora often complain about other cops from Newport and LCSO, but we'll never tell who. I CAN tell you that they weren't invited, hehe. My MMaloy (on CAD), I am so thankful to have you next to me on my big day. Because I love you, not just because you make me look 7 feet tall. - B

Zach is... well... Oh, we have to say nice things? This is a picture of Zach Dowty. He will be marrying us. Please don't feed him milk and make sure to use sanitizer if you shake his hand. He doesn't like owls and he has a really mean dog that bites people for a living. Ironically, a lot of people bite Dowty, so it's a fair trade. Speak slowly around him. He puts everything in subtitles in his head, but he's a terrible reader. You'll learn this soon enough.
