The Wedding Party

We are so grateful for each and every one of you who will be joining us to celebrate our wedding! However, we’ve chosen to keep our bridal party small and intimate for some truly magical reasons. If you know us well, you’ll realize that we aren’t the most extroverted souls in this enchanting world. Our three beloved dogs hold a special place in our hearts, and they will be accompanied down the aisle by three extraordinary individuals.

 

As the ceremony begins, picture a procession unfolding like a scene from a beloved Harry Potter story. Leading the way will be Sita-Marie, one of Cassie’s closest friends from the sun-drenched land of California. She has played a crucial role in bringing Shenzi into Cassie’s life, almost as if she were a skilled witch casting a spell of friendship. Following them will be Kenny, Levi’s father, walking alongside Koda. Although their connection may be limited to sharing initials, both Koda and Kenny are as meaningful to Levi and Cassie as the strongest bonds forged in the Gryffindor common room.

 

Next to grace the aisle will be Kelcie, Cassie’s best friend from the enchanting state of Arizona, accompanied by Sam, who has been instrumental in guiding Sam’s journey into our lives—think of them as a loyal Patronus leading the way through the darkest of times. Once Kelcie hands Sam off to Kenny, she will join Sita as a bridesmaid, while Shenzi proudly takes on the role of Cassie’s Maid of Honor, her fur shimmering like the stars over Hogwarts.

 

On Levi’s side, he will have Koda and Sam standing by as his groomsmen, while his father will fulfill the important role of Best Man, much like a wise wizard offering support and guidance.

 

Proceeding the bridesmaids and groomsmen, we have David Rode as the comedic ring bearer, ready to cast off negativity with sage and silly commentary. Seen as Cassie's little bro, David has always been there for her and is determined to take his role very "seriously." Next, the adorable Kennley will be escorted down the aisle, tossing natural confetti of lavender and other dried herbs alongside her Nona / Levi's mother, Marianne.

​

To conclude the procession, Dave Boris will walk down the aisle with his daughter, Cassie. The love of a father for his only daughter will shine in his eyes as he recalls cherished memories with every step in his mind, preparing to pass her on to Levi.

 

Together, let’s create a day filled with love, laughter, and a sprinkle of magic that we will cherish forever—just like the timeless tales of friendship and adventure from our favorite wizarding world.
