Wedding Party
Carly Strayer
Maid of Honor
We might be 5 years apart, but we've gone our whole lives with people thinking we're twins. For better or for worse, we've gone through it all together and I'm lucky to call Carly my sister. *Carly & I at the top of Masada on a trip to Israel and Palestine.
Jascylette Aviles
Bridesmaid
Jascylette and I met several years ago through mutual friends right before I moved to Santa Barbara. Not only is she an amazing friend, but we also co-founded our non-profit, RISE Santa Barbara, together in 2020. *This is us on my birthday at the Santa Barbara Mission.
Dani Eldridge
Bridesmaid
Dani and I met freshmen year of college, and were both roommates and teammates over the years. People joked that we were the nerds who would spend our down time on soccer trips studying. *This is a picture of us in Japan in 2018.
Calli Fuchigami
Bridesmaid
Calli & I have known each other since we were four and attended elementary, middle, and high school together. We played every sport you can think of together. *This was taken at Calli's wedding.
Katie Delahunt
Bridesmaid
Katie and I met during our days at College Access Now in Seattle and were friends, coworkers, and hiking buddies on the weekend. *We recently went hiking in the Rocky Mountains when I visited her in Colorado.
Jourdan Jackson
Bridesman
Jourdan and I also met back in 2015 at College Access Now, an education access non-profit. We started as coworkers but became close friends and enjoyed many post-work Happy Hours in downtown Seattle. Jourdan, Katie, and I were (& still are) an inseparable trio. *This is us after Happy Hour at one of our favorite restaurants in West Seattle, Talarico's.
Victoria Fitoussi
Officiant
We met Victoria at the park through our dogs, Scout & Juno, who have since became best friends. She also recommended me for my current job at ProductPlan and is a great workout partner. Alex & I met her together and we really wanted a close mutual friend to officiate our wedding! *This is us on a normal Sunday (just kidding, this is from Halloween!).
Millie & Elroy LeBrun
Flower Girl & Ring Bearer
Millie & Elroy are Alex's niece and nephew and we are so excited to have them walk down the aisle! *Here we are on a recent trip to Disneyland!
Kyle Dickey
Groomsman
Kyle and I met when I started my PhD program at UCSB, when I told him that I had gone to the same Master's program as him, as well as the same high school as him, and now I'm starting the same PhD program as him. *This is a 2022 picture of Kyle and I being cute in Santa Barbara.
Seán Pierce
Groomsman
Seán and I were in the same cohort of incoming PhD students at UCSB, and have learned everything together. *This is us at our professor's house, when I convinced everyone to stick their nametags on Seán because it was his birthday.
Tom Costigan
Groomsman
I met Tom in my PhD program, and he has become one of the best friends I've had. We luckily have the same early bird bug, so we talk almost every morning in the office. *Here's all three of us at the Santa Barbara Bowl seeing The Head and the Heart.
Tyler Stewart
Groomsman
Tyler and I became friends in high school, when we were just on the same wavelength on everything. And every time we come back together, it's like not a day has passed since we were spending every day together. *This is us at the Space Needle when I visited him at the Seattle Snowmageddon of 2019.
Josh Nagel
Groomsman
Josh and I also became friends in high school. He, Tyler, and I were inseparable, spending most of our time -- and a couple attempts at the exercise class P90X -- at Josh's place. As you can tell, the exercise program didn't take. *This is Josh and I in 2021 at our engagement party.
