Wedding Party

Caitlyn

Maid of Honor

Caitlyn

📍 Boston, MA

Aneize and Caitlyn have been inseparable since kindergarten — from growing up at Caitlyn's house to tagging along to countless sporting events and creatively roaming their hometown together. Over the last three decades their adventures have only gotten bigger and their foundation has only gotten stronger: unwavering loyalty, sister-like honesty, and the kind of friendship that shapes a life.

Known for her high standards, especially when it comes to men, Caitlyn has long been one of Aneize's fiercest protectors. Her approval is never handed out lightly, which makes her wholehearted embrace of Justin all the more meaningful.

Over the years, Aneize and Caitlyn have cautiously welcomed him into their “girl world,” and after surviving more than a few trips with the two of them — not entirely unscathed — he has officially earned his keep.

Emily

Maid of Honor

Emily

📍 Seattle, WA

Aneize and Emily have also been side by side since childhood, building a friendship that has carried them through nearly every stage of life. From being college roommates, to post-college monthly visits between Phoenix and Denver, to living together during the pandemic and again in Seattle, Emily has been a constant through some of life's biggest transitions.

If Caitlyn brought the standards, Emily brought the hype. As Aneize's forever “woo girl,” she has always believed in love, big celebrations, and going all in on life's best moments. Her excitement for Justin was immediate, and she has been one of the biggest champions of this relationship from the very beginning.

As if this season was not special enough, Emily got engaged just one month before Aneize, making this yet another chapter they now get to experience side by side.

Erin

Bridesmaid

Erin

📍 Phoenix, AZ

Aneize and Erin met as neighbors in 2018, and their first interaction set the tone. Aneize was juggling grocery bags when Erin popped over with a very direct, very Erin question: “Do you want to be friends?” The answer was an immediate yes, and the rest has been history.

What started as a shared wall quickly became one of the most meaningful friendships of Aneize's life. Erin is passionate, fiercely loyal, and deeply thoughtful toward the people she loves, always showing up to listen, offer perspective, and remind Aneize exactly what she wants and deserves.

She has built her own bond with Justin too, over boujee meat standards, ambitious sales-strategy talks, and helping pull off our surprise engagement party. As this new chapter begins, we are fully hoping it eventually means being neighbors again.

Sarah

Bridesmaid

Sarah

📍 Phoenix, AZ

Aneize and Sarah first met in high school, but their friendship truly took shape years later when Aneize moved to Phoenix and reconnected with her hometown friend. Already rooted in the city, Sarah welcomed her in through her gift for bringing people together, and quickly became part of the fabric of Aneize's life there.

Sarah has always felt like a piece of home. She was there through Aneize's early years of figuring out life on her own in a new city, offering friendship, steadiness, and the kind of comfort that only comes from someone who knows where you came from — a bond made even surer by their moms' own close friendship.

Watching Sarah and Craig marry alongside Justin in Las Vegas was one of the most joyful moments of our relationship, and one that quietly confirmed for Aneize the kind of forever she wanted. We feel so lucky to have her standing beside us.

Zorn and West

Flower People

Zorn & West

Zorn, Aneize's younger brother, and his daughter West hold a very special place in our hearts, and we could not be happier to have them as our flower people. As the only girl in the family before West came along, Aneize has happily spent the last few years learning to share the spotlight, so it only felt right to continue the tradition on the wedding day.

Watching Zorn step so fully into fatherhood has been incredible. He is a girl dad through and through, completely obsessed with his daughter and committed to showing her exactly what love, respect, and support should look like. He inspires us as parents-to-be and somehow makes it all look deceptively easy — though we suspect living a few states away helps preserve the illusion.

Known lovingly as Aunt Ruby, Aneize's bond with West grows stronger every year. We are so proud of them both and cannot wait to watch them make their way down the aisle together.

Deirdre

Officiant

Deirdre

📍 Boston, MA

Deirdre first entered Aneize's world during Caitlyn's alien-themed birthday weekend in Phoenix about five years ago, and she made an impression immediately. Brilliant, confident, and completely herself, Dee is the perfect fiery match for Caitlyn and brings both energy and intention wherever she goes.

What began as an introduction through one of Aneize's oldest friendships has grown into a meaningful bond of its own through travels, visits, and shared memories. Whether spending time with us as a couple or coaxing Justin out of his shell, Dee always shows up with honesty, warmth, and exactly the right amount of push.

Her ability to lead with authenticity and confidence makes her the perfect person to stand with us as our officiant. We are so honored to have her telling our story and helping seal our commitment on this very special day.

Lauren and Aster

Ring Handlers

Lauren & Aster

📍 Santa Barbara, CA

Lauren is Aneize's aunt — technically — but being only nine months apart has always made the relationship feel a little more complicated and a lot more fun. Though they grew up in different states, they first connected on one of Aneize's childhood trips to California, where Lauren's effortless cool made a lasting impression.

Years later their friendship took on new life when Lauren moved to Arizona for her doctorate at ASU, and what started as family became a true friendship. Aneize brought the social media trends and pop culture, while Lauren brought a love of intention, inner connection, and the occasional lesson in plant ownership.

Aneize was honored to stand beside Lauren at her ritual union and to celebrate the arrival of her baby boy, Aster, last year. We are so happy to have them both as ring handlers, helping carry and seal the intentions at the heart of this day.

Thank You

Parents

Dad & KayoFor saying “sure, let’s host 75 people here” and for trusting us to temporarily transform their incredible home into wedding chaos. Special shoutout to Aneize’s dad, Jeff, who has worked tirelessly to get the space ready and finally gets his well-deserved moment to show it off.

MomFor doing what she does best. As our built-in event planner, creative sounding board, and occasional voice of reason, she has helped bring this entire weekend to life. Getting to plan this together has been one of the best parts of it all.
