Wedding Party
We wouldn’t be who we are without our people.
Here are the amazing humans (and dog) standing beside us on our big day.
On Jordan’s Side
ANIKA | Maid of Honor
My older sister, whom I have known since birth. She is the best sister anyone could ever want--artistic, caring, thoughtful, and I wouldn't want to trade her for the world. She is always just a phone call away, and even though we live six hours apart, we still find time to talk or visit each other.
ALLI | Matron of Honor
Alli has been my best friend since middle school. We grew up together, swimming, playing Mario Kart, and whacking piñatas in her garage. Always there when I need advice.
ALEXIS (Lex) | Bridesmaid
Lex started as my boss at Buffalo Wild Wings, but we realized we share the same brain. We’d say the same things at the same time, so it's obvious that we became best friends.
TARRAH | Bridesmaid
Tarrah is another connection to Buffalo Wild Wings. She used to be my manager, left for a bit, but we stayed close. Fun, quirky, and we always bond over music (goodbye Earl), and she always tells it like it is.
On Alyssa’s Side
JEN | Best Maid
Met Jen at Barilla when she was teaching me machines on “Floor Friday.” Now we’re always up for back-road truck drives and deep talks. She’s been there through it all.
SYDNEY | Best Maid
I know Sydney from working at the Dining Student Staffing Office in college. We’ve done it all—bowling, animals at her place, Summer Band, disc golf, and pickleball. She’s the best.
BRITTNEY | Bridesmaid
She’s my sister, and we didn’t always get along, but now we’re pretty tight. Hang out a lot in Ames, play games, and she’s my partner for pickleball, disc golf, and running (she’s faster).
KAILEY | Bridesmaid
My “eight-year-apart twin.” Used to be mad at me until covid times. Now we share hobbies like fishing, Fortnite, and skateboarding—and we are always getting yelled at by Brittney and Jordan for goofing off.
Officiant
JAMI
Alyssa met Jami (far left of photo) through hanging out with Jen, and she’s just the kind of person who makes everything more fun. Always positive and never a dull moment—that’s why we picked her.
Ring Bearers
OLAF
Our best buddy and the real star of the show. Olaf will be making his way down the aisle (assuming he cooperates).
CHARLIE
He is the son of Alli (Jordan’s Matron of Honor) and Brandon (Alyssa’s best buddy), and he will be just over a year old at the wedding. He is the cutest ham who enjoys playing with his aunties, exploring, and cuddling.
