Wedding Party

Krista Stanford

Maid of Honor

Let’s just say… this friendship had a very slow burn. In 2020, Alayna randomly moved into Krista’s apartment (still unclear if Krista agreed to it?), and for a whole year, they were strictly “hi-bye” roommates who occasionally shared a meal and blacked out on a Thursday night. Then, in 2022, everything changed. One fateful night, they were forced to eat dinner alone (the horror) and realized they actually—plot twist—liked each other. Like, a lot —and just like that, the friendship switch flipped. They started cooking for each other, looking out for each other, and enabling each other’s questionable decisions with phrases like “what’s one more shot?” Krista even pushed Alayna to apply for her dream job with the classic motivational quote: “girl, why not?” She’s also the unofficial third member of Alayna and Kaiden’s relationship. After a full year of living together—sharing dinners, holidays, and basically every major life moment—the three of them became inseparable. The word thruple has been thrown around... Krista is the mom of the group, the loudest hype woman in the room, and the friend who always shows up. Alayna couldn’t imagine doing this without her—partly because Krista would never let her.

Alex Malloy

Best Man

Kaiden and Al knew each other as kids, but didn’t really become friends until high school golf. Since then, it’s mostly been about sports—playing them, watching them, and debating who’s better. When Kaiden met Alayna, he knew she had to get the thumbs up from his best friend first. One night, Al gave it, and that same night Kaiden asked her to be his girlfriend. In Kaiden’s senior year, he moved in with Al and their buddy Tony. That brought a whole new level of friendship—talking bills, fighting over parking spots, and sharing fridge space like pros. Now they don’t live together, but still catch up over a cold beer and good conversation at the local bar. Al’s pumped to be Kaiden’s best man and can’t wait to celebrate them both.

Reagan Gray

Maid of Honor

Reagan and Alayna—or Lanie, as Reagan calls her—have been part of each other's lives quite literally since day one. When your moms are sisters, you don’t get much of a choice, but luckily, they wouldn’t have it any other way. They were each other’s first best friends. Childhood was filled with tea parties, matching outfits, Jonas Brothers obsessions, and maybe a few arguments over who got the better fabric swatches in their made-up fashion designer game (don’t ask, it was serious business). As they grew up, so did their friendship. Now their conversations revolve around the books they’re reading, which Taylor Swift songs are currently destroying them emotionally, and what city they’re going to travel to next. They’ve never really been good at sitting still—planning their next vacation often happens on the current one. But more than anything, their favorite thing to do together is talk. And talk. And talk. There’s a comfort in being with someone who just gets you—who’s been there through every phase of life and loves every version of you. Alayna couldn’t imagine this day without her cousin, built-in best friend, and partner-in-yapping by her side. Reagan is the planner, the calm in the chaos, and the heart of so many of Alayna’s favorite memories.

TonyPerfetti

Groomsman

Kaiden and Tony first met way back in elementary school at the local sports complex. From the jump, they were always crashing at each other’s houses, building a friendship that stuck. Fast forward to high school, and their bond reignited on the golf course. It was clear these two were in it for the long haul. In Kaiden’s senior year of college, he moved in with Tony and their buddy Al. Living together came with perks—and some challenges. Like waking up to Tony’s blender blasting at 6AM, Kaiden claiming dibs on the big room, and the infamous Dairy Queen Blizzard mystery where Tony swore his roommates ate his ice cream (spoiler: Tony ate it himself). Earlier this year, Kaiden had the honor of joining Tony on his bachelor trip to Chicago. They soaked up the views with cold beers, devoured some of the best burgers around, and—of course—woke up early for a round of golf. Kaiden’s lucky to have Tony as a friend and proud to have him standing by his side.

AnahiRomero

Bridesmaid

Alayna and Anahi met in a Marketing class in 2020 when they were forced to find a partner for a project (truly the stuff of nightmares). But luckily, that awkward assignment led to something way better—they found each other. It didn’t take long before they realized they could be their full, unfiltered selves around one another (we’ll spare you the details, but just know: chaos). From that point on, it was best friends forever. Back in the day, their friendship looked like Starbucks runs, exam cramming, and wild nights out. These days, it’s evolved into long couch hangs, planning cross-state visits, and cozy coffee dates that feel like home. Through every season, they’ve grown together—and stayed just as close. Alayna had the honor of standing by Anahi’s side at her wedding, and now she’s beyond excited to have Anahi by hers. Sweet as they come, Anahi is pure sunshine—unless there's a dance floor and tequila involved. Then? Clear the area.

Remy Shipman

Groomsman

Kaiden met Remy back in high school through mutual friends, but their friendship didn’t really take off until college. During Kaiden’s junior year, he moved in with Remy and their friend Seth—and that’s when things clicked. Their nights were filled with basketball games on TV, tennis matches in the driveway, and staying up way too late playing video games. Remy was also the very first person Kaiden told about his first date with Alayna (a historic moment). As a roommate, Remy was solid. Dependable, chill, and always down to help—even picking up Kaiden and Alayna off the side of the road once when her tire blew. He also helped Kaiden land his college job at Chef Shoppe, where they spent countless hours scooping popcorn and selling oddly specific kitchen tools. Most nights out ended the same way: cold beers and tater tots at Global Brew. Simple and perfect. Now that they live in different places, the friendship has grown into new traditions—pickleball matches, poker nights at Tony’s, and trading photos of whatever meat they’re currently grilling like true suburban dads in training. Kaiden’s grateful to have Remy in his life and stoked to have him as part of the crew on this big day.

Alexandra Elmore

Bridesmaid

Believe it or not, Alayna and Alex first met in French class back in 2015—and let’s just say, it wasn’t love at first bonjour. But fate (and a random writing class sophomore year) brought them back together, and somewhere in between shared assignments and inside jokes, a forever friendship began. High school was their golden era: photoshoots (Alex is the reason Alayna’s Instagram had a glow-up), chaotic YouTube videos (please don’t look them up), fake French accents, and endless gossip sessions. When graduation came around, there was no question—Alex was the one person Alayna wanted to bring into adulthood. During junior year of college, when Alayna transferred schools and moved into her first apartment, Alex became her lifeline with weekly FaceTimes and emotional support texts. She's only person who could make a new place feel a little less lonely. During that season, Alex met her now-husband, and Alayna met Kaiden. And yes, they both called it for each other. In 2023, Alayna walked down the aisle at Alex’s wedding—something they used to dream about when they were 16. And now, it’s Alex’s turn to stand by her. Alex is creative, hilarious, endlessly patient (she’s a teacher, after all), and somehow still puts up with Alayna’s nonsense all these years later. True love.

Seth Watson

Groomsman

Seth and Kaiden go way back—like back to the days of meeting up at the local elementary school to shoot hoops. They always made sure they were on the same team, obviously. By high school, they were tight. Seth was Kaiden’s unofficial Uber (aka his ride home) since they lived just a few streets apart. Their friendship leveled up in college when Kaiden moved into the apartment with Seth and Remy. Living with Seth meant discovering new music at 2AM, pulling all-nighters playing 2K, and watching him see just how high he could stack Domino’s boxes before taking out the trash (spoiler: way too high). At this point, Seth’s pretty much part of the family. He’s one of the chosen few to get a standing invite to the White family’s legendary 4th of July party—and that’s saying something. Kaiden’s pumped to have Seth standing by his side—because this wedding wouldn’t be the same without one of his day-ones.

Sierra McCoy

Bridesmaid

Sierra and Alayna met the day Alayna was born—and Sierra, unfortunately, lost her only child status. She was not thrilled about it. Growing up, Sierra was the effortlessly cool older sister, and Alayna was the 7-years-too-late tagalong trying to keep up (cue the awkward sibling energy). It wasn’t until Alayna turned 15 that things really clicked—Sierra offered to teach her how to drive. There were definitely a few literal bumps in the road, but those lessons turned into some of Alayna’s favorite memories and the beginning of a real, grown-up sister bond. Now that Alayna has finally caught up in the cool department (hopefully), the two are closer than ever. Whether it’s a deep phone call that lasts hours or a chaotic 10-minute voice note, they’re always sharing life’s biggest updates, funniest dad stories, and new unhinged conspiracy theories. After years of Sierra serving overseas, she and her wife Molly are finally stateside—and Alayna couldn’t be happier to visit them in Arizona and build on a relationship they both refuse to let fade. These sisters are committed to being the generation that stays close. And Sierra? She’s the effortlessly hilarious, super chill sister who’ll casually put you onto a music artist who ends up becoming your new favorite. You definitely want to hang with her. Having her badass big sister stand by her side on this day? It means everything to Alayna.

EliTyszko

Groomsman

Kaiden and Eli became friends in high school through mutual friends, but funny enough, they actually grew up just a few houses apart. They didn’t really hang out back then, but once they finally connected, it stuck. Eli ended up helping Kaiden survive Chemistry class (seriously, he might’ve saved the GPA), and from there the friendship took off. Most of their high school days were spent driving around town with no real destination, just good music and better conversations. Once college hit, they kept the streak alive through late-night PlayStation parties—still talking about music, just now with headsets on. Lately, their favorite thing to do is debate movie ratings like they’re part of the Academy. Doesn’t matter what genre—it’s getting ranked. Eli’s the kind of guy that lights up the room when he walks in, always has a story, and always gets people laughing. He’s the life of the party, and if you’re wondering where he is at the reception… just look for the guy with his tie wrapped around his head. Kaiden’s lucky to have a friend like Eli—reliable, hilarious, and never one to turn down a hang.
