Cassandra & Edan

Wedding Party

Amy Miller

Maid of Honor

Younger sister to the bride and Cassie’s first best friend. They met, well… The day Amy was born in 1998. 😉 As Cassie’s only sibling, Amy truly knows Cassie like nobody else and the role of Maid of Honor has been Amy’s since the girls were old enough to play “Bride” with their dress up clothes growing up. Fun fact: Amy LOVES to travel! She’s recently travelled to 10 different states, 1 new country, and countless national parks!

Elliot Bender

Best Man

Best friend of the groom since grade school, there’s little that Edan and Elliot didn’t do together growing up. They met through mutual friends and have been best buds (or more like brothers) ever since. Edan and Elliot’s friendship blossomed over their love of surfing, growing up in Ventura together, and helping to keep the other one out of trouble. Fun fact: Elliot owns his own contracting business in Ventura, CA! He is a bathroom remodel extraordinaire.

Becca Rodriguez

Bridesmaid

Becca, and Cassie met during Cassie’s freshman year at NAU in Spring 2016. They were in the same sorority together and Becca is Cassie’s “grand big”. 9 years later, Becca is one of Cassie’s best friends and one of the most incredible people Cassie knows! Fun Fact: Becca is a sucker for popcorn! It’s her favorite treat! She’ll even make a separate bowl for her dog so he can have his own and she doesn’t have to share with him!

Emily Allen

Bridesmaid

Emily and Cassie met during the first week of school freshman year of college at NAU in Fall 2015. They lived in the same dorm hall and quickly realized how similar they were, even down to both of their Iowa family roots! They’ve been besties ever since! Fun Fact: Emily is a huge live music lover and has been to over 30 concerts and festivals. She’s a huge Swiftie and has seen Taylor Swift 4 times in concert!

Neah Romero

Bridesmaid

Cassie and Neah met soon after Cassie and Edan did in 2021! Neah has known Edan since they were teenagers and she soon became one of Cassie’s best friends through their shared love of shopping, local restaurants, and finding new things to do in the Valley! Fun fact: Neah is the craft queen! She’s so creative and inventive- anything you need, she’ll have it made for you in no time!

Jaja Ajah

Groomsman

Edan and Jaja met while Edan and Elliot were playing football after school one day in elementary school. Jaja, Edan, and Elliot became fast friends and 20+ years later, they’re all still doing life together and consider themselves to be brothers, not just best friends. Fun Fact: While Jaja has a lot of hobbies, one of his most recent adventures is becoming a drone builder! He lives for when the ocean swell is high so he can get the best footage of the Ventura County Coast.

Nikko Heath

Groomsman

One of the groom’s best friends, Nikko, and Edan met when they were just teenagers through a mutual friend. 15+ years later, Nikko decides to move to Arizona from California and Edan follows his move about a year later. Because of that decision to move to Arizona, Edan met Cassie. Fun Fact: Nikko and Edan worked at an arcade together in high school and would go surfing on their 30 minute lunch break. They would always end up clocking back in with just seconds to spare.

Ty Allen

Groomsman

Ty and Edan met soon after he started dating Cassie, as Ty is the husband to one of Cassie’s best friends, Emily! Through double dates and dinners with their ladies, Ty and Edan quickly bonded over their love of golf, beer, and sports. On an average weekend, you could find them on the golf course trying to beat last weekend’s scores. Fun Fact: Ty is a big sports guy! He roots for the Carolina Panthers and St. Louis Cardinals, no matter how their seasons are turning out, Ty will stand by the team no matter what.
