Hey there! My name is Cade Bonebrake, and I am one of the peacekeepers in the upcoming union of Thai and Ryan. I would say I am a pretty laid-back person. I enjoy gardening, plant-keeping, rock climbing/bouldering, and anything related to the outdoors. I’ve known Ryan for about my whole life. All the times Ryan and I would be doing shenanigans and riding our skateboards around makes me laugh. I am looking forward to being a part of this amazing wedding!

Hi, my name is Erin! I’m a bridesmaid and the “timekeeper” for Ryan and Thailand’s wedding. I love to sing, and I’ve been in choir since elementary school. I love hanging out with my friends, shopping, or going out to eat. I mostly like to buy skincare and makeup because I enjoy doing both. I’m so excited to finally be able to say that I’m going to be a part of their wedding, and I can’t wait for it to be official. Thailand is so sweet and has always made me feel comfortable in every setting, and I love how we clicked so fast:) Congrats on the wedding!!

I'm so honored to be a part of this beautiful union, and I’m glad to be able to properly welcome Ryan into my family and have another wonderful human being I can call my brother.

Jack Diehl
Jack Diehl - Groomsman
Tryna find a photo of myself was the most anxiety-inducing thing I’ve done but, anyway, Jack Diehl, Peacekeeper, I’ve known Ryan for about 13-14 years now. Fast forward to now, he’s one of my best friends, a brother with no relation but is still family. I’ve known Thailand for about 10 years now, and a few months after I became friends with Chris. I remember the first time meeting her she already treated me like I was a well-known friend. She’s one person I can always turn to for advice and will give it to me straight. I’m thankful to be a part of this celebration of Ryan and Thailand and I am excited for their future together.

Hi, I am Alexis! I’m one of Thailand’s bridesmaids. I’ve known her since seventh grade…she has literally been my best friend ever since that day. I feel extremely lucky to have an extraordinary woman like Thailand in my life. I enjoy traveling, trying different restaurants, going to concerts, and chilling with my family and friends. In my free time, I like to go outside, watch movies and shows, and read. My favorite show is Game of Thrones and my favorite book is Normal People. Some of my favorite memories with Thai have been singing our hearts out to our favorite artists, like Tame Impala and Post Malone at Lollapalooza and Summer Smash. I am so excited and privileged to celebrate Ryan and Thailand’s new chapter together.
