Best Man
Ryan’s older brother and best friend who thankfully became an engineer at Tesla, meeting their parents' Asian familial expectations and paving the way for Ryan to pursue a career in Hollywood. He is still coming to terms with the fact that his own brother is marrying someone who went to Notre Dame so please give him privacy as he grieves.
Best Man
Michael and Danny met at Bethel Preschool and grew up only two blocks away. After 30 years of friendships, there's a lot Danny could say, but he'll save the embarrassing stories for Michael's upcoming toast.
Groomsman
Ryan met Alex on the first day of high school Cross Country and have stayed besties ever since. They have famously never gotten into a fight and they plan to keep it that way as long as the film “The Master” is never mentioned.
Groomsman
Mark was stuck in school with Danny from Kindergarten through college, and even lived with Danny for a year in Chicago (the year the Cubs won the world series so maybe they need to get that lease back…)
Groomsman
Ryan met Cal on the first day of high school Cross Country and have stayed besties ever since. Despite sharing three different classes together, the most Ryan learned on a single day was when Cal taught him about the Bay of Pigs over brunch.
Groomsman
Scott is Danny's second favorite Christmas gift after his beloved Nintendo GameCube. As a true annoying little brother, Scott copied everything Danny did - Speech Class, Cross Country, and Notre Dame, so it was no surprise when he got engaged within a year of Danny.
Groomsman
Nik and Ryan are products of New York University and met while Freshmen RAs. Nik has no social media so in order to catch up, they have to talk on the phone!!! Wild. Ryan is mostly still friends with Nik so he will give him free plastic surgery when he opens up his own practice.
Groomsman
Danny's youngest brother is known affectionately as Little Baby John John (LBJJ) a nickname Danny perpetuated so as to undercut the fact that John could easily beat up Danny…since John was ten.
Groomsman
Kyle is one of Ryan’s oldest LA friends, having met while running the stairs of the Hollywood Bowl at 6:30am (they used to do this weekly as members of November Project which, yes, is crazy looking back on it). Their friendship has further solidified over Pokemon, pop punk and puppies.
Groomsman
Rob and Danny met in college when Rob was a lonely loser living across the hall. Danny was gracious enough to take Rob under his wings . Years later Danny's act of charity paid off when Rob and his brother bought a boat.
Groomsman
The O.G./second most important Domer in Ryan’s life. Pat unintentionally turned Ryan into a “jock” by getting and keeping him on his kickball team for almost a decade. They will be at your party at the drop of a hat whispering to each other “That’s SO interesting…” from the corner of the room, as long as there are no onion, garlic or peanuts served.
Groomsman
Sean is Danny's best mate from uni who's always up for a pint with the lads at the pub. Translation: Danny's best friend from college who's always up for a beer with the boys at the bar. Midwesterners Sean and his wife Liz live in London with their adorable nipper (baby).
Groomsman
Ryan’s best Italianx friend and the smartest person he knows (but don’t tell him that). They met playing kickball and will soon spend the rest of their lives in jail together when the NSA discovers their texting history.
Groomsman
Tom and Danny braved the post-college world together as roommates in Chicago. They learned to throw the perfect Christmas party and to not wait till their St. Patrick's Day party to throw out the Christmas tree, and learned to take a malort shot…and keep it down.
Groomsman
Ryan and Marc bonded over a night at Hamburger Mary’s for Disney Trivia, when the hostess wouldn’t let them contest an answer because they were already too far in the lead. Marc used to be a press reporter and never once wrote an incriminating story Ryan told him of his Hollywood escapades – a true friend.
Groomsman
Friends from their days in Fisher Hall, Tomas has been there to celebrate all of Danny's LA milestones: first time at the Harry Potter World, first time at Disneyland, and first friend to meet Danny's boyfriend (aka Ryan).
Ring Bearer
Son of Megan and Nate DeVault, he is the first great-grandchild in the Bourke family. Holden's first beach house coincided with Ryan's first. They bonded at the kitchen table where Holden binged Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Ryan pitched press stories (Editor's note: this is what Ryan told Danny he was doing. He was actually binging Mickey Mouse Clubhouse too.)
Flower Girl
Daughter of Mark and Mary Alex Nosek, Danny couldn't be happier to have Avery as his flower girl, almost as happy as he'll be once Avery is old enough for him to share all the embarrassing high school stories he has on her parents.
Officiant
Matt is smart and hilarious and one of Danny and Ryan's dearest friends, but if we're being honest we only hired him as our officiant to get closer to Charlize Theron.
