Wedding Party
Mallory
Maid of Honor
Picking a Maid of Honor was a no-brainer. My sister Mallory has been there for me through all of the biggest moments of my life, and my wedding will be no different. As kids, we used to bicker and fight, like most siblings do, but she has now become the biggest support person in my life and my best friend. Being the older sister, she was often forced to drag me out with her in our younger years, but now I can happily say she actually hangs out with me voluntarily. She has given me the smartest, cutest, and funniest nephew and nieces and I can't imagine not having her stand by my side on one of the best days of my life.
Ryan
Best Man
I met Ryan over 10 years ago at TLU. He went from being a potential pledge to the fraternity to being my best friend over the last decade. We lived together in college and again in our mid-twenties as we learned how to grow up, get fat, get fit, and meet our future wives. Some of my best and dumbest moments have been shared with this guy, and outside of Alecia nobody knows me better. Ryan honored me by asking me to be his Best Man when he married Sara last year and I couldn't imagine anybody else being mine.
Amber
Bridesmaid
From childhood choir mates, to college roommates, to adults living in the real world together, this girl has been there for me through every season of life. We have been friends for over 17 years, starting in our middle school days back in League City and ending up in San Antonio together as adults. Most of my childhood memories include her. There hasn't been anything in my life that she hasn't been apart of. Through the ups and downs of our crazy lives, no matter what we have going on individually I know she is someone I can always count on. Couldn't say I do without her by my side.
Nic
Groomsman
I met Nic in 2009 when we were both freshmen at TLU. Since then, we pledged a fraternity together, experienced some all-time Spring Breaks, lived together as college students, and again as new postgrads trying to figure out how to be self-sustaining adults for over 2 years. Even as Nic moved out of state to Indiana and his current home in Colorado, we never lost touch and have always found a reason to make fun of each other. I've never imagined a wedding day without him being up there with me.
Alyssa
Bridesmaid
Being the younger sister to Amber, mentioned above, I have known Alyssa for just as long as her, over 17 years. Most of my pre-teen/teenager days were spent at the house of these two and I spent just as much time with Alyssa. She was the spunky little sister I never had but, always wanted. Watching her get married and become a mom in the last couple of years has been such a joy, and quite honestly has made me so proud. Although we live in different cities, I know that no matter what we will always be there for each other. Can't wait for her to stand by me on my wedding day as I did on hers.
Nate
Groomsman
I also met Nate when we were freshmen at TLU. We pledged the fraternity together, eventually lived together, and made college a great experience getting into and out of trouble on random road trips and at TLU sanctioned and non-sanctioned events. Post-grad Nate has remained a brother and we've made time for birthdays, festivals, and he was there when Alecia and I got engaged. I'm honored for Nate to be a groomsman.
Grace
Bridesmaid
My dear Grace, oh what can I say. 23 years, since we were 5 years old. That's how long I have known this amazing human being. We have watched each other grow up in every way possible. Every job I ever had back in League City, she basically got me, and then would end up quitting or get fired shortly after I started. Something we still laugh about to this day. I have watched her become the most gracious, amazing mother to her sweet little Olivia. We talked about these momentous times we would have as kids and having them happen standing by each other's side is something I'll always cherish.
Tyler
Groomsman
As anybody knows, meeting your significant other's family the first time can be pretty intimidating. You want to get approval of all of the loved ones: the parents, the sister, nieces, nephew and of course the brother-in-law. Lucky for me, I got the coolest one ever. Tyler made me feel accepted from day one and that has never changed. He's provided great advice, helpful tips, and elite comedy over the years. There's no version of the wedding party without Tyler.
Adrienne
Bridesmaid
Adrienne (Adrie) was one of the first people I met my first day of nursing school in 2016. We both got lost in the parking lot (go figure) and a security guard told me to follow her to the right parking lot. That was the beginning of our friendship. Those nursing school years were some of the hardest of our lives, and having a good support system during that time was everything. She is one of the most genuine people I know. She likes to take credit for Caleb and me, and I guess I can admit she's kind of right. If it wasn't for her and her fiancé Sean, me and Caleb probably would have never found each other. So thankful for her and love that we get to go on this whole wedding adventure together.
Sean
Groomsman
Can't get married without the guy who introduced us. Sean has always been an awesome friend going back to when we met at TLU and I was a senior pledging him into the fraternity as a freshman. It worked out that I moved to San Antonio after graduation and he was transferring to UTSA. From there, we continued getting into and out of trouble as single guys until he started dating Adrie and they introduced Alecia and I. I'm forever grateful for that introduction, and I'm grateful he'll be standing up there with me on that wedding day. Or maybe Adrie made us put him in. Who knows.
Angelica
Bridesmaid
Jelly as we call her, is the life of the party. I met her through Adrie and we hit it off pretty instantly. She is the true definition of fun. She is the one friend that every girl should have and she makes me laugh until my stomach hurts. I know that I can tell her anything and no matter what it is there will never be judgement. Not only is she a beauty, but she's brains as well. She recently graduated with her MBA from UTSA and our friend group was there to watch her walk across that stage. From all the trips we've taken to the nights we have just stayed in, she is what a truly loyal friend looks like. My wedding day would be incomplete without her.
Jordan
Groomsman
Alecia has some important men in her life but few are as important as Jordan. First time I met her nephew it became very clear how uncool I am, but I'm glad he still lets me hang out with him and play video games. He's quiet but always has a joke in the holster. Considering how much he hates dressing up, I feel truly blessed Jordan is by my side on my wedding day.
Briana
Bridesmaid
Briana is a little firecracker that I wish I could keep in my pocket. She is one of the happiest people I have ever met and she brings such a light to my life. I know I can count on her to always tell it like it is. She does everything with love in her heart and she wants the best for all the people in her life. As good as she is on the inside she is just as great at dong hair. She is our hairstyling best friend and we couldn't survive without her. When thinking about getting married, there is no way I could do it and not have her up there with me.
Joe
Groomsman
Since 2nd grade man, what else can be said? Joe has been one of my best friends as long as I can remember, and my wedding party would be incomplete without him. From breaking every piece of furniture that my parents owned wrestling, to being the "twin towers" in basketball, to Joe being a family man and me following in his footsteps, it's been a wild ride. Joe has been such a loyal friend for 20+ years and having him as a Groomsman will make the big day that much more special.
Allyson
Bridesmaid
I actually met Ally through Caleb. She is his former roommate and one of his best friends. She is one of the most energetic and sassy people I know and I think that's why we get along so well. She has been in Caleb's life for quite sometime and has quickly grown to become one of my favorite people. There is never a dull moment when she is around and I can't imagine her not standing up there with us as we start our lives together.
Samantha
Groomswoman
I first met Sam at TLU where it quickly became clear we had the exact same sense of humor and ability to have a good time. Over the years we grew up (slowly), lived together, and found our soulmates. There's many reasons Sam is my Groomswoman: she's hilarious, is a ride or die for her friends and family, and she'll be able to drink enough to hang on the Bachelor party. But most importantly, if you save my life you get a spot in the wedding party it's pretty simple.
