Parents & Wedding Party
Bruce Perry
Father of the Bride
In Loving Memory of Bruce Perry, Angela's Father. He was an amazing father and taught me a lot of what I believe in and do today. He was protective, but I know he would approve Mike to marry me and create a loving family together. Love you papa and I know you are enjoying this with us.
Carolyn Dobbin
Mother of the Groom
In Loving Memory of Carolyn Dobbin, Mike's mother. She was an amazing woman and I know she would be so proud to call Angela her daughter. We know you will be with us. Love you.
Dana McMohon
Mother of the Bride
I am my Mother's Daughter! Dana is a loving, caring, fun, funny and feisty woman who has raised me to be the same. There is no doubt that my fiesty'ness is from my mom. You have made me strong, taught me to hold my ground and be true what I believe. The older I get, the closer we get, and our relationship continues to blossom every minute, of every day, year by year. I am proud to call her my Mom, and am so glad to have her to share this special day with. Love you mom!
Howard Gross
Father of the Groom
Dad, Dad-E-O, Brotha, Dog and Homie!! My father has always been a friend and a mentor for me. Never sympathetic, but always caring, my father helped to teach me about drive, ambition, responsibility and respect. He taught me how to be a man and how to treat a lady. Although his dad jokes have been going like a never ending title wave since I was young, I guess I can now thank him for passing that somewhat entertaining, usually overly cheesy trait down to me as I will also pass down to my children in turn. I love you so much and couldn't be happier about our bond and friendship and am so glad you will be there with me on this amazing day. Love you Dad.
Donnie McMahon
Step-Father of the Bride
After being friends for many years, Donny married Angela's mother Dana several years ago and although his and Angela's relationship has been short, it certainly has been sweet. Donnie has been a caring and protective father to Angela, an amazing husband to Dana and now a true friend to Mike. We are glad to have him as part of this celebration.
Bob Dobbin
Step-Father of the Groom
Bob entered Mike's life when Mike was 13 when he started dating Mike's Mom Carolyn. At the first dinner they had together, Mike was skeptical of this Bob guy and started in with 20 Questions. Seemingly having passed this grueling test, Mike had one more challenge for Bob, he must eat a rose pedal. With no hesitation, Bob plucked the pedal from the center of the table and chomped it down. It was at that moment that Mike knew they would get along. And boy did they ever! Bob has acted as a roll model to Mike since that day (which may explain a lot!!!) and helped Mike to turn his life around in high school when Mike reached out and asked for help. Even after the passing of Mike's mom, Bob and Mike have remained very close and Bob is and will ever be considered one of Mike's Dads.
Kelly Dobbin
Step-Mother of the Groom
Bob's wife and Mike's Second Mom, Kelly married Bob while Mike was in his 20s. Kelly has been a true mother figure to Mike ever since, giving him life, relationship, financial and other advise that has helped him immensely throughout the years. If you know Kelly, she says things as they are, and boy does Mike need that sometimes!! She is always a blast to be around and sets an amazing example for Bob, Mike, Angela and all of our siblings and we love her to death! Thank you for being there for us always and we're so excited to have you as part of this special day. Love ya mama.
Jocelyn Gross
Step-Mother of the Groom
Jocelyn is Mike's 3rd Mom. Although entering into the later part of Mike's 20's, she rapidly was adopted as his mom after marrying his father Howard. And although there has always been a bit of a rivalry between Mike and Jocelyn, what with her being a Nutritionist and Mike being....well Mike, there has never been anything but love between these two and Mike is very excited to include her and have her as part of his big day.
Cathie Perry
Step-Mother of the Bride
Cathie is Julia's mother and has been a part of Angela's life since she was a little girl, taking on the step-mother role and always being there when Angela needed her. She is one of the sweetest, funniest and most caring people you could ever have the pleasure of meeting. Her love and loyalty to Angela, and now Michael, really sets her on a new plateau that we can all strive to achieve. We are so glad to have her in our lives and sharing this special day with us. We love you Cathie!
Arriana Beattie
Maid of Honor
My Best-Friend of over 17 years, Arriana has always been there for me, and that won't change for this special day. I'm the god-mother to her two children and love them as much as I love Arriana. She was one of my first friends in LA when I moved here in 2001 when I was 16. She is one of the sweetest and most thoughtful friends I could ever ask for and I am so happy to have her by my side on this big day.
Ryan Gross
Best Man
My big brother, life long super hero and nemesis simultaneously, Ryan has always been there for me. He has been my biggest fan and supporter throughout life. To have a wedding without him being my best man, would not be a wedding at all. There is no one else on this planet, I would rather have by my side, covering my back and giving me loads of s**t.
Julia Perry
Bridesmaid
My Big Sis, Julia and I grew up living off and on with each other. Life brought us in different directions many times, but we always found our way back into each other's lives. Such a creative soul, our relationship has been blossoming more and more over the past years, and we have been able to make up for so much lost time. You've always been there for me sis and I will always be there for you. I am so glad you will be being a part of this very special day with me.
Jack Dobbin
Groomsman
My brotha from anotha motha, Jack and I met while I was in Jr. High, and although I'm pretty sure he hated me for a good couple years, on account that my mom was going to marry his dad, I tricked him into eventually being one of my best buds. We grew up in highschool together, got in trouble together, and generally I had a great time corrupting this once fine young man. My love and respect for him and his family can not be described and to me, he and I are blood. Even though he likes to play with big balls (see pic), but that is normal.
Morgan Maloney-Gross
Bridesmaid
Morgan is Mike's much more mature "Lil Sis". We only met about two years ago, but we instantly hit it off. She has become like the little sister I never had. She is such a fun person to be around, spend time with and someone who I can share in the joys of making fun of Mike with. I am so excited to be able to call you "sis" and am honored you have agreed to stand by my side on this special day. It means a lot to both Mike and I.
Jon Bertain
Groomsman
Jon and I have been best friends since the 6th Grade. We were inseparable. We were the typical "American Pie" type of friends. Went to our first high-school party together, first college party together, and literally spent every Friday/Saturday night at Universal Studios City Walk trying to pick up chicks, even though we were both too embarrassed to talk to any. Jon and I fell out of touch for about 6 years from 2003-2009, but he is that friend to me that even though we haven't talked in forever, it's as though no time has passed at all and we pick right back up where we left off. He is one of my oldest friends and I couldn't be happier that he is going to be a part of this day with me.
Amy Olson
Bridesmaid
Amy and I have become friends over the last couple years and we became very close. She is that person I can always count on when I need a friend, a shoulder, a laugh and an a** kicking. She is the sweetest a** kicking bad a** single mom superhero anyone has ever known. I am so glad we became friends, I am so glad you will be part of this day, and I look forward to so much more in the future with you.
Dave Supple
Groomsman
Dave and I worked with each other from 2003-2005 and then again from 2009-2013. He is one of my best friends, and a mentor of mine in the business world. One of the goofiest guys when appropriate, or actually when completely not appropriate, and one of the toughest guys I know when needed. He has always had my back and I his. He has set the bar for Ryan and I over and over again, and we are very glad to call him a friend and I'm very thankful he is part of this celebration.
Jesse Wilson
Bridesmaid
Jesse is one of the most talented, most caring, strongest individuals I know. Jesse helped save my life and get me going in a direction that led to success, happiness and what eventually ended up in my falling in love with Mike. She has been a pillar in my life and I owe so much of my happiness, love and success to this amazing woman. She will always have my love and support and I can't wait to have you next to me on our big day.
Dave Tourje
Groomsman
Dave Torje has got to be one of the wildest, most creative, most driven and successful, fun loving, outgoing individuals I know. Back in 2014/2015 Dave and I met and the bro-mance has been ever growing. He has been a true inspiration to me, has helped me navigate life and business to continue to expand, flourish and prosper. He is the type of guy that infects those around him with good vibes, a sense of hard work and dedication and a full out, balls-to-the-wall, crazy, head-on, fun-loving approach and enjoyment of life. I am glad to call him a friend, and honored to have him as part of our big day.
Ellorie Beattie
Flower Girl
Ellorie is our God-Daughter and she is one of the smartest, sweetest, funnest children we have ever known. Elly, is like her mother Arriana in so many ways. She is sweet, kind, gentle, mischievous and joyful among so many other amazing qualities. She is growing up so fast and it brings us so much joy to watch her transform into the lady that she is becoming. We are thrilled to have her as our Flower Girl.
Zachary & Franklin Dobbin
Ring Bearer
Zachary Dobbin is Sammy Dobbin (my youngest Dobbin Step-Brother) first son and Franklin is Jack Dobbin (the oldest of the three Dobbin Step-Brothers) son. I haven't met these two little boogers yet, but if they are anything like their fathers were at their age, we are all in for a wild day!
