Alanna & Gabe
Bridal Party
Emily Medina
Matron of Honor
Hello everyone! My name is Emily, I am the brides sister! I am a licensed veterinary technician. My husband and our one dog and two cats moved down south over the past year, now we are much closer to Alanna and Gabe. I can’t wait to watch Alanna marry the man she loves in a few short months!
Shellie Bixler
Bridesmaid
Hi everyone, I’m Shellie! I’m from Pittsburgh and moved south 2 years ago with my husband Austin & our 3 kitties. I’m Lead Massage Therapist at the 5 Star spa on Kiawah Island. We met Alanna and Gabe during Covid shutdown when I was looking at our apartment complex’s Instagram and saw a post of her in our pool! I was new to the area and I was happy to see someone my age so close by. I messaged her and the rest is history. She is truly one of the most genuine hearted and fun loving people I know. Most of my favorite memories with her always seem to end up with us inebriated on the beach at night. Freeing. I love our BBQ nights, trivia Tuesdays, beach picnics, downtown dancing, and of course pool days! I’m so honored to be able to experience life with her and watch her marry her best friend!
Elizabeth Anderson
Bridesmaid
Hey I’m Elizabeth but you can call me Liz! I’m 26, soon to be 27, and grew up in Waverly, NY near Gabe. I actually met Gabe way back in 2014 when we both worked for Tops, and we slowly became close friends! I am married to my best friend, Austin, and we have a beautiful perfect angel baby, our Son, Jamie. When Gabe introduced me to Alanna, I instantly felt comfortable with her, which isn’t something I usually feel around new people. She made me feel like she had always knew me, and I saw her bring out positive sides of Gabe that I had never seen before. I am beyond ecstatic that they have built such a wonderful life together!! It has been such an honor to watch both mine and Alanna and Gabe’s new lives blossom together. I am so humbled to be a part of their big day!!
Alexis McDougal
Bridesmaid
Hey guys! I'm Alexis but literally everyone calls me Lex. I was born and raised in Gorham, NY and went to Morrisville State for college which is where I met my love Alanna. I currently work for the Farm Service Agency under the USDA as a program technician. Alanna and I have a lot of memories together but nothing beats the nights of endless laughter in our college dorm 206. From singing at the top of our lungs to Taste, to Sunday family dinners. She was a large part of making my college experience the best years of my life. I knew Gabe was the one for her the first time I met him and he looked liked the happiest little burrito in our hammock. They have a love that'll no doubt go down in history. I can't wait to celebrate the union of these two amazing people.
Arden Wise
Bridesmaid
Hi! I’m Arden and I’m from Oneonta, home of THE Alanna! (Don’t worry, I’ve also escaped the tundra and moved down south.) We’ve been friends for so long I honestly lost count of how many years it is. From endless laughter and crazy times in the Dietz Street basement, to deep emotional talks whenever one of us needs a shoulder to cry on Alanna has been one of the most dependable amazing friends since we first met. Seeing her fall in love with Gabe, the most amazing man, has made my heart swell since the first time we hung out together. I can’t wait to be up there with one of my oldest friends, and see her marry the man she loves so much!
Amber Tucker
Bridesmaid
Hey y’all, it’s me, Amber! Born and raised in Greenville, NC moved south after college and came to work for Kiawah Island Golf Resort where I met my main squeeze Alanna. I moved back to NC when COVID hit and now I’m a paralegal at a personal injury attorneys office. Alanna and I have lots of memories together but a few of my favorites are nights downtown at The Social, pool days, running into the sunset on Kiawah Island beaches, bike rides on Kiawah Island, the endless photo ops, and laughing until we cried. Alanna has a heart of gold and Gabe is so good to her. Their love for each other is beyond any love I have ever heard described. Can’t wait to get these two married and stand beside my girl on her special day.
