Wedding Party
Aislyn Hensley
Bride
Aislyn has been in love with Ella since August 27, 2019, when they made a joke that made Ella laugh so hard that water came out of her nose. Since then, they've graduated from high school and college, survived a long-distance relationship, learned how to make pretty much any recipe gluten-free, made even more terrible jokes, and fallen more in love with Ella every day.
Ella Watson
Bride
There was no specific day that Ella fell in love with Aislyn, but she looked up one day and the most interesting thing in the world was listening to Aislyn passionately rant about global politics. She’s inspired by the way they love and care for the people around them so deeply. Ella loves their dedication and their ability to lift people up and make them laugh To this day, anything can be made interesting to Ella if Aislyn is passionately talking about it.
Alex Thomason
Man of Honor
Following a brief high school introduction that one might describe as only mildly contentious, Alex and Aislyn unexpectedly reconnected in college and became best friends. Though they aren't actually siblings, their friendship (and red hair) may lead you to believe otherwise.
Alexis Becker
Person of Honor
Ella and Alexis met at a welcome week event at Mizzou that both their mothers pressured them into going to. Brought together through mutually colorful hair and gay vibes, they have been best friends ever since.
Sophia Hensley
Bridesmaid
Sophia has had the pleasure of being Aislyn’s sister for 21 years. Aislyn is responsible for all of Sophia’s weirdest interests, and her ability to sing every song from “Hamilton” top to bottom.
