Micah Henderson
Maid of Honor
Micah is the oldest sister of the bride. Micah has been a constant in Alex and Kayley's relationship-even providing chaperone services on a weekend trip to Branson. ;) She is the best kind of sister one could ask for and Alex and Kayley are thrilled that she is their maid of honor.
Daniel Sinclair
Best Man
Daniel Sinclaire, a friend of three years, is one of Alex's co-workers whom he has spent countless domestic and international trips with. Alex's favorite memories and trip with Daniel were to Yokohama, Japan and Seoul, South Korea where "Wonderwall" was sung in a back alley karaoke bar with other coworkers. Alex could not ask for a better best man, knowing Daniel will constantly support Alex's marriage to Kayley.
Alyssa Martin
Bridesmaid
Alyssa is the younger sister of the groom. Alex was fortunate that he had a sister to give him clothing advice before his first date with Kayley. Alex and Kayley are happy to have her standing by their side on their wedding day.
Jordan Banks
Groomsman
Jordan Banks is Alex's co-worker and friend of two years. Alex had several domestic trips with Jordan and greatly enjoyed the nights out on the town (especially San Diego), arcade bars, and the $100 dessert that was ordered at The Sugar Factory. While the two can no longer have those experiences, Alex and Jordan continue to have a great friendship over the long distances.
Hope Henderson
Bridesmaid
Hope is the sister-in-law of the bride. Kayley has enjoyed watching Sawyer and Hope's marriage to each other and is grateful that Sawyer chose such a wonderful wife and sister for his family!
Josh Bost
Groomsman
Josh Bost is a long-time friend of Alex going back to his sophomore year of college where both were Resident Assistants at Eastern Illinois University in the "Triad" complex. While they got into countless shenanigans during their times together, both arose to leaders within the housing community, enjoyed Phi Sigma Pi Honors Fraternity, and hundreds of breakfast, lunch, and dinners.
Alissa Schmidgall
Bridesmaid
Alissa is the apartment mate and best friend of the bride. Alissa and Kayley were acquainted with each other through the campus ministry Encounter at ISU. They also realized that they worked right next to each other and both loved to go dancing. When Kayley started looking for an apartment, Alissa reached out and asked if she was looking for an apartment mate. The past two years living together have been wonderful and Kayley is so thankful for such a godly friend in Alissa and her entire family.
Liam Bechtold
Groomsman
Liam is a long-time friend of Alex, going back to his junior year of college at Eastern Illinois University. Liam was a Resident Assistant in the South Quad but became a close friend through Josh and the National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH) where Alex, Liam and Josh led and thrived. While Liam always fed our pizza hunger in the apartment, he and Alex graduated together (both in Accounting) by sticking together in classes and supporting each other.
Emily Cooksey
Bridesmaid
Emily is the older cousin of the bride. Kayley and Emily spent many hours together at their Grandma Barbara's house watching the Disney Channel and playing hide-and-go seek.

Kayley is happy to have one of her oldest friends standing by her side on her wedding day.
