Alison & Alex
Wedding Party
Jennifer Dean Stavert
Matron of Honor
Back in the day I only knew Jen as Alex's cool, slightly intimidating, older sister. Today I know Jen as one of the kindest, most giving people I've ever met! She has the biggest heart and an amazing sense of humor. I'm so grateful to call her my MOH and one of my best friends. And although it has already felt like we've been sisters for years, I'm so excited to make it official in December!
Brian Stavert
Best Man
I met Brian when I was a lifeguard at age 15. He was my manager at the time and let's just say that we didn't hit it off immediately, but little did we know......he would marry my sister. haha Brian is the most trustworthy and dependable person that I've ever met (accept when he asks you to follow him across a glacier). He is literally the person that would share his last drop of water with you even if you are both dying of dehydration while mountain biking in the middle of July in the Texas heat miles away from anyone with no help in sight. oh and one of you keeps getting flat tires...We prevailed albeit with signs of heat stroke and it only brought us that much closer together. I'm honored to call him my brother and am so glad that he'll be standing up there with me on my wedding day.
Marisa Lawrence
Bridesmaid
My first best friend, my seester, my Midge, baby mama to my nieces & nephew, and my shadow for the majority of our childhood. As we've grown up, we've grown apart and back together, but we're there for each other without question when it matters! We have gotten through some of life's hardest times together and she is one of the strongest women I know. I couldn't imagine my wedding day without her!
Collin Moore
Groomsman
Collin and I met while working at a big name outdoor retailer where our mutual hatred for the lack of competent managers and the perpetual onslaught of others dumping their work responsibilities on us, forged a brotherhood that can stand the test of time. A decade later, we've shared a lifetime of memories together and my wedding day is one more I am fortunate to share with him.
Emilee Lawrence
Bridesmaid
Over the years as Emilee has grown up, she became much cooler than me (I tell her this all the time!). But Em is more than cool. She is kind, giving and so supportive to those in her life. Em's my person that always knows what to say to make you feel better. This last year has brought us closer together than we've ever been and I'm grateful to call my baby seester one of my best friends!
Jonathan Stanley
Groomsman
15 years old.....freshman English.....I told a little white lie about my parents buying me a car and was completely caught off guard when Jonathan responded with "cool - can you take me home after school?" to which I responded "..uh..yeah of course, meet me in the parking lot". The next day he told me that he almost missed the bus. Now....people often say long-lasting friendships aren't built on a foundation of deceivery, however I can tell you this was the beginning of something great...well...at least mediocre. Have you ever seen the movie Ted with Mark Wahlberg? Jonathan is like Ted - he can be cute and cuddly with a mouth like a sailor, but in the end, he'll always be your thunder buddy.
Stewart Lawrence
Bridesman
Even though we're 7 years apart, Stewart and I have always been the most similar. We think the same way (although he is definitely smarter than me), enjoy the same plain foods, stress about the same things (social interaction, driving, being late, the list goes on..), and even look the most similar. I'm so excited to have my baby bro standing by my side as my bridesman!
Deven Leising
Groomsman
Don't believe anything this guys says....he's full of crap. ...I guess he's alright. ...JK I've known this guy since I was 5. He's the best. ....He loves robust wines with very earthy tones and a slight leathery bouquet.
Julian Lawrence
Ring Bearer
Julian Augustine is our 4 year old nephew and twin to our Flower Girl, Jaylyn! Julian has always been the sweetest and will surprise you with a bear hug or a kiss on the cheek! He loves Paw Patrol and playing with his cars, both of which he can do for hours. I can't wait to see this little man in a suit!
Jaylyn Lawrence
Flower Girl
Sweet Jaylyn Rae! Jaylyn is our 4 year old niece and twin to our Ring Bearer, Julian! Jay is definitely 4 going on 24! She loves lip gloss, shopping and has already mastered the 'tude. Just wait until you see that eye roll!
Sofia Lawrence
Flower Girl
Sofia Jane is our niece and little sister to Jaylyn and Julian. She is almost 3 years old and Miss Independent! Fia has one of those laughs that is infectious and makes everyone around her laugh, which makes her laugh even more!
